strange bird is the Ken. or Noun tain-N -Nestor. A parrot belonging to South Island, New Zealand. Its color is mo- notonous, and in no way IS 1t of strik- ing appearance;. but 1t has won for Itself an unenviable reputation through It's habit of diet. Since man became an in- habitant of the island. and there raised his focks of sheep. this bird has fed upon mutton in preference to any other food Its manner of procuring a dinner is after this fashion: A flock of Kea. or Mountain -Nestors. will surround a sheep and drive 1t from its companions. Then they torment it till, from sheer exhaus- ton, the poor animal sinks helplessly to earth to become the vicious fock's prey. Upon It's unprotected back the birds swarm, literally eating the quivering thing alive, for death does not come to relieve the tortured animal till the birds have picked through Its back into the intestines, thus wounding It mortally and causing slow death.
 This bird has been known to attack horses also. and owing to Its evil pro- pensities, the sheep farmers of the island are doing their utmost to exterminate 1t.

JUST THE TRUTH

Sallie Van Wick, Vice-Pres. of the Anderson Driving Club, Atlanta, says:
 Knowing how prevalent hard colds are at this season of the year, I want to tell the people of Pine Bluff my experience with Vinol, thu best cod liver oil preparation in the world.
 "I contracted a severe cold and cough, and tried different cod liver oil preparations and cough reme- dies; they only upset my stomach and gave no relief. finally sent for my physician. He advised me to try Vinol. I found it was de- licious to take, and did not upset my stomach, but it built un my gen. eral health, and made kme feel stronger and better than have for years.
 eff vinol does for Pine Bluff DCOplc WICu IL uIu loi& AlS IL VIII be worth s1oo A bottlefto them.'
 Our 10, local drusNst,k: G. Bedel' says: "The reason @fnol is so ef- ficacious is because all the useless oil has been eliminated from the medicinal elements of cods' livers and tonic iron added, and We have never sold a remedy equal to Vinol for chronic coughs, colds and bronchial troubles or to build up a weak, rundown system, and wej will return the money in every case where it fails to benefit" A. G. Be- dell, Druggist.
 Note-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Pine Bluff, it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
(By Staff Correspondent. }

The governor recommended that all lobbyists be denied the privileges of the floor and that such legislation be enacted as would put them out of bus mess entirely. Speaker Hamiter fol- lowed this up with the declaration that he would permit no lobbyists to go upon the floor of the House and gave warning that he would take steps to eject any one that might ven- ture upon the forbidden ground. In the face of these conditions the future of the lobbyist is anything but rosy in these days. There are of course great many persons interested in diff ferent bills, who are working for their passage in an entirely legitimate man. ner. This is a class distinct from the Professional lobby. The edict against lobbyists, however, includes the former class, the members of which are expected to present their claims before the proper committees and to deal with the members of the legislature at some other time during the sessions of the body.
 Among the important bills that are likely to be introduced soon is one prepared by Senator Browning, car rying an appropriation for $100,000 for state normal school. The bill will have the endorsement of the state superintendent of public instruction and other educational leaders of the state and strong effort will be made to secure it's passage. It is pointed out that Arkansas is the only state in the union that had not a normal
 school for the training of it's teachers and such an institution is declared to be badly needed.
 The possibility of another clash be-
 tween the senate and Ex-Governor Davis is seen in connection with the appointment of three trustees of the state university, which was one of the last official acts of Governor Davis.
 It is contended by some of the sen- ators that Davis had no right to make
 these appointments and that the mat ter should have been left to the dis posal of Governor Little. It is regard ;, ed as possible that Governor Little
 may take this view of the situation and transmit appointments of his own to the Senate. In that case there is little doubt that the Senate would confirm the appointments made by Governor Little rather than those made by Governor Davis. The senate ' has not yet acted upon the Davis ap- pointments. Those who were named by Governor Davis were Hal l.. Nor /, wood, c. c. Hanboy and Marcellus L.. Davis. While no objection has been made to the men appointed, it is con- 1 tended that it would have been at least more courteous for Governor Davis to have permitted the incoming governor to make the appointments for which he must assume the re- sponsibility.
 For ten days Jeff Davis will lave the unique distinction of being a pri- vate citizen of the state of Arkansas
 It was expected that he would hold this distinction for only three or four days, as he was to have been elected United States Senator by the general assembly Tuesday, Jan. P, but under a ruling by Attorney General Kirby the election of senator was postpon ed until Tuesday, January 29. For this reason Davis interregnum will be longer than has been expected.
