Industrial Home for Warrens.

johnson County Star:
A movement is on foot and if the
plan is carried out Warrensburp will
secure a large Industrial school and
home for widows aud orphans of the
colored people.
The plan took shape at a meeting
held in this city some four years ago
when the society of Royal Sons and
Daughters of Fred Douglass was
organized. Rev. T. B. Gardener, who
was pastor at that time of the colored
Baptist church of this city was the
founder and he was made the National
chairman of the organization The
membership is rapidly growing and
the repOrtfrom the various secretaries
throughout the states Of Missouri.
Kansas and Illinois show the society
to be in a healthy state financially.
Recently Rev. Gardener secured an
option from Ben Scott on the old
Colbern homestead in old town and
made the first payment to bind the
trade. Unless the plans fail we will
soon see a magnifcen school building
erected upon the property and a
beautiful park laid out on the attract
i've site overlooking the city. The
tract consists of thirty-seven acre;
and includes the old residence of nine
rooms.
The idea is a commendable one anC
should receive hearty encouragement
from all charitable people. 1t will
furnish a home for the training o
the homeless colored boys and girls
where they will be taught to he'll
themselves and finally become self
sustaining. We are told that hnan
cial help is promised from easter

Our Bodies Are Machines,

How many people, I wonder. ever pause to consider that their bodies are merely machines to do work, furnaces in Which necessary fuel is burned workshops in which wornout parts are supplied and storerooms in which fuel and food are laid away for use wbcn neededf Further, like any other piece Of apparatus, the body works better under certain circumstances. It's fires burn better with fuels of certain sorts, mixed ill certain proportions. and it cannot keep ill perfect condition unless furnished with proper materials. Man thinks he eats because he is hungry; he really eats because his body is cry ing out for building materials with which to repair the waste that is ai. ways going on and for fuel to keep it. self warm, and 1t Is rather ''flnicky" as to the supply 1t wants for each ot these purposes. At pinch 1t can use almost anything dlgestible for either. but 1t groans and complains and pun. ishes its unfortunate possessor if 1t Is not properly treated.-Crittenden Mar. riott in St. Nicholas.

PINE BLUFF FIRM
 BUYS FARM SEED
Penitentiary Board Closes Deal for Sale of 25O Tons at S16.5O-Cot- ton to Be Marketed This
 Week.

The Penitentiary Board at Little Rock yesterday closed d deal with the Consumers Oil Mill of Pine Bluff for the sale of 250 tons of cotton seed at the state farm. The seed is sold for cash, which will be paid the state
 upon the delivery of the product. The seed was sold for $16.6O per ton and the deal will add about S4,25O to the state coffers.
 The deal was closed yesterday
 morning when Superintendent Pit cock of the state penitentiary talked oyer the long distance phone with Robert Malone of the Consumers Oil Mill Company here. MT. Malone offer ed the best price for the seed that has been offered yet, and in addition stip- ulated that he would pay cash. The seed will be loaded on a steamer from Memphis and shipped up the river to Pine Bluff.
 The Penitentiary Board faced a pe- culiar situation last Saturday in re- gard to the sale of the state farm cotton seed. The board was offered $16 per ton by a Rosedale (Miss.) buyer, and was about to close up the deal when it was learned that the prospective purchaser could not pay cash. The board could not sell it for else.
 Superintendent Pitcock stated last night that there would likely be 200 or 250 more tons of seed for sale at the state farm. In addition, about 150 tons of seed are retained at the farm. A total crop of abeut zoo or 500 tons of seed is expected this sea son.

Drawing Room.

A curious and regrettable revival of the word draw" in the sense of "with. draw occurs in drawing room." Here the original meaning of the word is lost because of its lamentable pronun- citation by the uneducated Nobody, hearing 1t mentioned as "droying room' at its best or as "drorlng room" at its worst" would suspect 1t of being a room to which to withdraw for relax ation. Most words of the kind, though. have no better claim to our admiration, and many have a worse one to our sense of language. "Parlor" Is an ugly growth from the old monasterial 'par loir,' or room where speaking was al lowed, and "boudoir," that early Victo rian expression of gentility, began D, being room to sulk in. "Sitting room Is strange instance of the confusion of cause and effect, and so is ''livin" room." We come back to drawing room" as to honest words, at least- London Notes and Queries.

During their absence several thousand sea gulls-the chron icler says 1O,OOO-ate all the fish on one side of the boat with such good results that they emptied it, and when the last herring had been removed from that side it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, for the boat with all the weight on the other side upset, spillng all the remaining fish Into the water Shanghai Mercury.
