JOHN TWEEZER'S TRIP
And the Reason Why He Brought Home
 No Fish Last Week
As Mrs. Tweezer saw it.

John Tweezer, said Mrs. TWeezer as the humorist return ed last week from a three days fishing trip on Grey's Lake, where are all the fish you pro missed to bring me when 1 con sented to.let you go with that Domino Club? You almostswore you would return with a big treat for myself and the children, and here you come stalking in empty handed. What is your excuse?
 Yes, Mrs. Tweezer, 1 did pro mise you some fish, and l would have kept the promise, but on the morning of the last day some heartless wretch discovered where I was keeping the fish and stole them"
 John Tweezer, do you sup pose you can put me off with a tale like that? Whoever heard of anybody stealing fish? You folks just simply spent all your time playing dominoes, and entirely forgot that you ever had a family to feed. !"
 You misjudge me, Mrs. Tweezer, 1 had carefully selected four of the largest catch of the trip and was saving them for you. There was one , ID. trout, another not quite so large, foot and a half jack, and a white perch that would have aroused the envy of Charlie Tomplzins. These fish were placed in a fish net, and let down in an obscure place in the lake, and when I got ready to return, they were gone. I am heart-broken over the matter. but broken-hearts I realize wont keep the blood in circulation"
 Yes, 1 know all about broken hearts, and I know, too just how you lost those fish. Mr. Me Daniel is telling the whole story. You hid your fish in the lake all right, but you made such a bunglesome job in doing so, that a blind man could have seen them. And of course when John Warren, Charlie Moon, and Henry Slaughter discovered their whereabouts they politely took your fish, put them in a paper sack, and Mr. Slaughter is having them for supper, to- night"
 I don't believe it; nobody in that crowd knew anything about those fish. A negro got them. 1 know his name, and there will be something for the next grand jury to do besides inves tigating crap shooters. You can't fool me, Mrs. Tweezer.
 Well, all right, John, go to bed. Be sure to read the article in the Daily News, which will appear in few days. But first, if you have any loose change in your pocket, you had better give it to me. Henry Slaughter, Charlie Moon or JnO. Warren may be hanging around the prem | ,coe ss

A Neat Compliment.

Perhaps to Principal o. L.. Dunaway and his teachers at Prescott belongs the honor of having the cleanest and best kept school yard in the State. For tunately, they have an excellent janitor who sees that no trash is allowed to accumulate on any part of the yard. The pupils, too, take a pride in keeping it clean. They consider it serious offense to throw waste paper or any other substance on the yard at any time, and as a result it is always clean. n.-Arkansas School Journal.

New Railroad to Searcy.

Another standard-guage railroad is to be built into the town of Searcy, thus giving it two lines. The new road is the Doniphan, Kensett and Searcy, which is being built by the Doniphan Lumber Company. The road originates at Doniphan, a town that has been laid out by the lumber company on Red River, about a mile and a half northwest of Kensett. The road is already in operation from Doni- phan to Kensett, and will be built from Kensett to Searcy, a distance of about five miles, making the entire length of the line about six and a half miles.
 The dump has already been thrown up and work on the building of the line from Kensett to Searcy will be started within the next thirty days. Terminals for the line at Searcy have already been selected. The company has bought the roadbed of the tram line that formerly ran from Searcy to West Point, and the railroad will be laid along that route.
 H. R. Fitzpatrick of Doniphan is gen. eral manager of the line.
