TRIED TO FOLLOW
 OSLER TEACHING

Realizing that he had long passed the forty years of usefulness allotted to man by the theory of Dr. Osler, Wade Preston, ITS Lauderdale street, attempted to end his life by jumping off the Memphis bridge.
 The theorist had removed his hat and coat and had swung clear of the guard railing when bridge carpenters interfered.
 The unfortunate man, who was for merly a minister, and who is Con- federate veteran, was taken to the bridge station and later to the police station, where he was held until his son, Sam Preston, linotype operator, secured his release.
 4'I am 59 years old,' said MT. Pres ton. eff a man cannot work he might as well be dead. I answered an ad for nightwatchman, but was turned down because younger man was needed. My son is the best boy in the world, and he is only too glad to care for me, but l can't stand to be dependent upon anyone. News Scimitar.

STATE FAIR
 TRAINS INTO CITY
"State Fair Special,' Daily From Pine Bluff-Extra Coaches
 On All Lines.

In reference to the railway equip ment of the State Fair, the fair as sociation has been advised by Sup erintendant H. E. Martin that a complete extra train is being or dered from the Cotton Belt run over the Pine Bluff and West ern as the State Fair Special every day during the fair. The train ar rives at Hot Springs at ten o'clock in the morning and leaves returning to Pine Bluff at seven-thirty each evening.
 From the Iron Mountain ten coaches and one engine were re- gently ordered. With this extra equipment the l.. R. and H. s. w. K. R. is enabled to meet every main line train at Benton and bring the passengers directly into Hot Springs whether from the north or south.

The State Fair Association has al- so received communications from the operating department of the Iron Mountain and the Rock Island stating that the recommendations offered in Hot Springs have been accented in full. Under this ar rangement every train on both these lines throughout the state have ad- ded during the State Fair from three to five extra coaches and a full extra train has been placed in service over each of these roads at Little Rock.

LISTEN TO ADVICE.

1t may be that some persons will be Inclined to doubt the statement made by an eminent authority, at a recent meeting, that with a mixture of dande- lion, kargon and sarsaparilla, he would give prompt relief to any suf- ferer of rheumatism or the usual forms of backache, caused by inactive, clogged kidneys, yet many cases of long standing that had been entirely relieved were cited to prove the truth of his assertion. The same author ity further stated that many cases which failed to yield to the healing waters of the famous health resorts, or the usual remedies as prescribed, salicylate of soda, potash, colchicum, etc.-were readily relieved by the use of this simple mixture-Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take teaspoonful dose after meals and at bedtime.
 A well-known druggist, when ap- preached upon the subject, stated that while this prescription, as written, is new, the ingredients are continually by the best physicians, and any good prescription pharmacy has them; they are inexpensive and harm less to use, and are mixed by shaking we'll in bottle. /
 IT the claims made for this mix .u{e are only partly correct, it would seem that no sufferer here could afford to leave the prescription untried.

BIG BRITISH
 LABOR WAR

London, Oct. 4-Nearly 50,000 mem bers of the Boilermakers' union will be locked out tomorrow, notices to that effect having been posted by the Shipbuilders' federation. The men af- fected are employed principally at the east coast ports, at Barrow and on the Clyde Some time ago lockout notices were issued because of a number of small strikes in which the men left work without notice and without an- nouncing their grievances. When what is known as the Edinburgh agreement was entered into, these lockout notices were withdrawn It is alleged by the shipbuilding con cerns that the men have failed to live up to the terms agreed upon with their representatives and they are now determined to fight the union to finish.
 The principal grievance of the em- ployers is that the executive commit tee of the Boilermakers' union has no real power and cannot force the men to observe any agreement which may be adopted.
 With the prospective strike of the members of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, which, unless something arises to prevent. will be the most serious ever known in Great Britain, the labor situation in this country is rapidly becoming critical. Organzed labor is gaining by leaps and bounds and is rapidly becoming permeated with socialism. The recent Sye-elections have shown great gains in the strength of the socialists, and the fond hope that English work men would never be susceptible to the socialistic arguments that appeal to their continental fellows is likely to be blasted.

The Murderer.

Sometimes the preacher tells his
flock that while praying land lead us
not Into temptation to include murder
as one of the sins into which any man
may be drawn. 1t is a startling
thought, for so deep is the horror felt
over the taking of human life that few
realize how near to every heart, after
all, is the possibility of breaking the
sixth commandment. Any one who has
lived in an orderly and peaceful com
munity. where every n knows his
neighbor, can never forget the impress.
sion upon the community of the first
murder. 1t seems for the moment that
the stability Of earthly things had been
destroyed, and the event stands forth
a community tragedy.
Every murder is a tragedy involving
all society. 1t shows how far man
kind yet is, in spite Of ages of develop
ment, from the most ordinary grace
Of respecting the life of his fellow.
Soldiers are commissioned to kill the
enemies Of the flag they fight under.
They shoot for the purpose Of giving a
wound that may be fatal. And yet the
average soldier shrinks from the knowl-
edge that his bullet ever cut short any
particular life. He does not want the
memory of it to weigh upon his mind.

Wiles of Animals.

The panther on the plains of Pata
gonia gets as near Il herd of guanacos
as it can, then lies down behind 81
bush on its back. 1t puts one paw up
in the air, then another, then the third
and fourth and after a bit all four at
once. That seems curious to the guiana,
cos, and they come close to invest
gate. Up jumps the panther and lights
on the nearest ones back and breaks
it's neck. a fox up in Nova Scotia
comes down to the bay Of Fundy and
goes jumping along the beach a couple
of rods and back again, rising on it's
hind legs at each about face and way
Ing its big tail in the air. The little
flock Of four or five Canada geese out
on the water begin to wonder what can
be the matter with the fox. They
swim up into the shallow water to in
vestigate, when in dashes the fox and
grabs one by the neck. The men have
taken advantage of this trick and have
trained dogs to do as the fox does.
For lack Of a dog men themselves
have ambled about on their hands and
knees to attract the birds.

Vanity.

AS gold is never put into circulation
without some alloy, so perhaps for this
worlds use some alloy is needed in the
gold of character. The only questions
are, What alloy and how much? shall
try to answer the question as to kind
and leave to individual discretion the
question as to quantity. A great ac-
tor once said that all men have vanity,
but some conceal it more successfully
than others. If vanity be a universal
trait, we may take it as that alloy
which is necessary to our active and
circulating usefulness. 1t is decried
by all moralists, preached against in
oil pulpits and everywhere believed to
be as undesirable as it is universal.
Nevertheless, in youth at least, a GER
tain degree Of it may be necessary.
Vanity is like the kindly cloud which
shelters us from the all piercing and
too brilliant sun of truth, for it may
be doubted whether any of us can bear
the truth unveiled. The melancholy
Dane who had revealed to him unqual-
fled truth, both as regards this life
and the next, was not by that revela-
ton melted to action. Hamlet found
the truth whitening, not stimulating; it
paralyzed rather than nerved. And
may be so with all truth. Most of u
are ordinary people, but happily most
of us do not find this out, at least not
IN our first youth.-Lippincott's.

R0ssINFs WATCH.
A Stranger Who Knew More About 1t
Than the Composer.

Than the Composer.
Rossini, the composer, possessed a
magnificent watch that his king had
presented to him. 1t was a repeater
and also a musical watch, for it played
the maestro's prayer from Moses In
Egypt" But not until after he had
owned it for six years did he under
stand it fully. Rossini took a boyish
delight in showing it and making it
play, and one day he did so while in a
cafe.
A stranger who sat near waS attract
ed by the music, and just as Rossini
was going TO put it back in his pocket
he stepped up to him and said, You
have a very valuable watch there, sir,
but I'll wager that you do not know
all its capabilities"
Rossini, much surprised, said: Il
have carried it now for six years in
honor of my king. 1t has never varied
one minute; it repeats the hour. quar-
ter hour, tells the minutes and the day
of the month and plays, as you have
just heard, the prayer from Moses"
"And yet l insist" said the stranger
smilingly, that you do not know your
watch wholly. I'll wager anything
you %like-your watch against 10000
francs..'
ooh, we'll, if you have 10000 francs
too many Ill take the bet" cried Ros-
SIM. But o give me the proof of
your assertion"
every we'll. The watch plays anoth-
er piece of yours, master, and contains
your portrait besides"
Speeches., Rossini saw that when
the stranger touched a spring a lid
few back, disclosing his portrait, while
at the same time it played "Di Tanti
Palp1ti," from ''Tancred."
Good gracious" he exclaimed, look
ing at his lost watch, lit is true! You
have Won the wager. But how could
1 know
The stranger laughed heartily and
handed him back his treasure, saying:
II am the maker Of this watch, Mi
chel Plivee. The wager was made in
fun, but l am delighted that YOU, the
great maestro, take such pleasure i'll
my work.

A Calendar,

To the modern world a calendar is
merely a harmless necessary reminder
of weeks and days to be hung up OH
New Years day and consulted in dat
ing letters throughout the year. 1t has
no such mournful sound as ''calen-
darium" had for the ancient Romans.
The original calendar Of their times
was the money lenders account book.
SO called because interest was due
from the debtor on the calends, or first
day of each month. Seneca speaks Of
calendar as a word invented outside
the course Of nature IN account Of
human greed.

Our South American Neighbors.
Tho late Matthew Arnold advised his

The late Matthew ArnOf0 auViseu AAo
fellow Englishmen who visited foreign
countries to study geological features
to let social and political conditions
alone in their reports or they might
make fools of themselves. Mr.. Martin
of the Royal Geographical society a
not followed the poet-philosopher's ad-
! vice in his recent work on five repub-
| lies of South America and incidentally
| PLAYS the fool role when 1t. comes to
mentioning the United States by way
Of comparison. For instance, he de-
| clares that in the republic of Argen-
| tina politics possesses about US much
and as little attraction for the honor
able and conscientious patriot as it
does in America" meaning without
doubt the United States of America,
upon whose institutions he lavishes no
compliments.
Professor Martin treats of Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela
and, while dealing primarily with re-
sources and development. speaks out
about shortcomings, which, he argues,
detract from the brightness Of the
South American prospect, which Eng
lish capitalists are backing heavily.
He declares that incompetency, dishon-
esty and corruption exist among the
official classes. A vast union Of Latin
republics he considers a dream and
cites the fact that they cannot even
agree on a standard gauge for a COM
bined railway system as a proof that
not one of the republics will change its
own way to make it conform to that Of
any other.
Among the defects ascribed to all
FIVE of the republics studied Professor
Martin enumerates want Of common
honesty, %anarchical teachings, increase
in crime, judicial bribery, bad SANTA
ton, reckless public expenditure and
public lotteries. On the other hand,
the author says that he has ridden on
British colonial railways Infinitely
worse" than those of Chile, often said
to be the worst in the world. He also
praises the Chilean press as we'll as the
newspapers Of Uruguay. In this last
republic he finds the most perfect soil,
geographical position and climate of
any of the five republics.

aFool Proof, Appliances.

Discussion of employers liability leg
islation is certain to bring to the front
new devices to guard against accidents.
Even without stringent special laws
employers and others are liable to dam
age suits, which are annoying even
when unsuccessful. Besides, it is hui
man nature to wish to safeguard fell
low men as much as possible on gen.
eral principles. In this connection the
efforts at home and abroad to provide
safety appliances of all sorts are inter-
esting and Instructive. Several foreign
cities now maintain museums to ex-
hibit these appliances and at the recent
exhibition opened in New York loaned
for the guidance Of Americans a num-
Der Of photographs showing the way
in which the safety device propaganda
Is pushed in Europe.
One of the exhibits in New York is a
ireproof starch for lace curtains, which
often cause fatal and expensive fires
because they are allowed to float
against a convenient gas jet or get in
the way of the flaming match used to
light the burner. A patent awning adj
juster, by which window awnings can
be raised or lowered without leaning
from the window, was another device
intended to saw broken heads. One Of
the most extensive exhibits is the speed
regulator for stationary engines. Nu-
merous distressing accidents have been
caused in mills and factories by the
engine getting away from it's controller
and sometimes perhaps by the control
Ter getting out of reach Of the throttle.
This device holds the engine to a GER
tain speed limit automatically, and by
means of electric connections through
out the building any operator can in
stantly stop all the machinery of the
place at will by touching a button. A
much needed device for cities is the
fool proof passenger elevator lock,
which prevents the running of the car
while any door to the shaft remains
open. There can be no better safe
guard in most cases than careful atten-
ton. Still, devices of the kind are to
be commended.
