Problems Raised By Two-Cent Kate
 A rather peculiar situation has been soveloned by the new tWo-cent rall- rood rate law in Arkansas, and many questions are confronting the passen- ror departments of the different roads. For instance:
 The Cotton Belt depot at Texarkana ;s only few feet across the Arkansas line but traveller purchasing a tick et there for q point in Arkansas must nav at the rate of three cents mile. The new two-cent rate law is effective only between Arkansas points, and although the station at Texarkana is within stones throw of the boundary line the Cotton Belt holds that the old rate of three cents should he charged for tickets bought to Ar kansas points. The Iron Mountain depot is within a short distance of the Cotton Belt, but is within the boundary lines of Arkansas, hence tickets over the Iron Mountain for Arkansas points can be purchased at the rate of two cents a mile. How ever, the Iron Mountain maintains the old rate for tickets purchased to any point outside the state. and has done away with the old 1-2 cent per mile clergy and charity rate.

"The Tiuer's Den."

very favOrably received by one of the

The play deals with the Seamy side
Of New York and it is as full of life
and hustle as Uhe dollar CraZed

from numerous traps by diSguises and
schemes, some of which are in the
genuine Conan Doyle style. the police
of course are frequently in evidence,
when the fun is stirring or trouble on
hand. There is a frenZied tinancier

Of the usual alert c~rvessiVe type and

OF course, there is a woman in the

all the money in sight and the other

DEATH OF BABY GIRL
AT MUSCOGEE, MAY 10
Six Months Old Daughter of MIR. and
Mrs. Frank Henderson
Expires.

Muscogee, May 13-Died, May 10th,
1907, Syble 1helma Henderson, infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Frank Hen
derson, aged months.
Borne by angels to the presence of
the God of heaven, her angelic form
sweeps through the heavenly city
glorified, singing the songs of redeem
ing love, waiting for the coming of
her heartbroken mother and father.
Far away in its own native home
Is hid a baby face,
Where waving flowers in beauty bloom
Above her resting place
Your angel baby, like flowers of earth
Dropped, but TO bloom again;
Her gentle spirit has sought that cline
Where all are free from pain.
She seemeth near, yet she is gone,
Gone with her hook of love,
Yet she will be a link to you
In the chain of light above.
You should not mourn that she is gone
From this dark world of pain.
But kiss the hand that deeply made
Your loss to be his gain
Yet / know that you wish to be near
that spot
Where meath the moonlight heaven
Is laid TO rest your cherub babe,
That place to memory given.
There on the sad, sad whispering
breeze,
Comes the perfume of sweet flowers
Sad emblems of joys and hopes
That crowned her baby hours.
All, from that sweet and sacred spot,
From that dear little tomb,
Could you but call one single bud
Just one in its sweet bloom.
Gould you but kneel by that loved
grave
Near by your frosted flower,
And breathe once more mid gushing
tears
A prayer for Strengthening power.
1t may not be. and yet your babe
With eyes all full of love,
Is lowering ever round your home,
From your bright home above.
So crush the grief in your heart, dear
Syble,
And check the rising tear;
/ 1t brings not back the hopes that were
Nor joys that once were dear.
And cast the gloom from off your
brow,
And hide all grief and care;
Then look to heaven for strength and
light
Your angel, Theima's, there.
4, In that heaven, that glorious world,
4 Where grief and tears are DER,
Yon Will dwell an peace and happiness
With T'helma on Eden's shore.
