STUCK IN THE BATHTUB.
Unfortunate Pried Loose After Much
Personal Discomfort.

The zinc lining Of the bathtub at
the county p~Oorhouse in Portland,
Ore, became bare Of enamel in
spots, and the other day tie superin-
tendent sent a man to town to pur-
chase some white enamel" He re-
ceived the package, carefully cleaned
the tub and applied a coat Of the
enamel. Ii soon dried and left the
tub with a snowy interior. He
showed his work to his wife and his
mother-inlaw, and modestly received
their words of praise.
The next day he desired a bath,
and filling the tub with warm water
reclined full length in it. He was
tired, and under the soothing infu-
ence Of warmth fell asleep. He
awoke with a start, dreaming that
an Apache had seized him by the
hair and was about to scalp him To
his surprise he could not lift his
head.
Then he essayed to move, and
found hat the soles Of his feet were
glued to the end of the tub, and that
his limbs were held to the bottom
in the same manner. Even his arms
were loosened from the side of the
tub with difficulty. He managed,
after suffering a deal of pain and
parting from small patches of cuti-
Gle, to extricate his feet, legs and
body, but the tub chung tightly to
his hair, and he had to howl for
help.
In order to get into the bathroom
where her liege lord was held pris-
oner the superintendent wife had
to force a hook off the door. Then
she took a pair Of scissors and cut
the hair which stuck to the paint,
after the warm water had soften
ed if.

DESERT FRUIT.

limo part of the world do figs at
tam greater perfection of size and
flavor than at the oasis of Palm
Springs in the Colorado desert of
southern California, says a writer in
Travel Magazine. They ripen earlier
than elsewhere, and the hundreds Of
boxes of this fruit sent out annually
by whites and Indians ere eagerly
sought at fancy prices.
Persian and Egyptian dates are
grown here, where the climate is al
most a duplicate of that in their
natural habitat. Oranges, lemons,

An exciting encounter with a
leopard took place here yesterdayrat
the residence Of Mr.. SandifoFd.
Miss Sandiford missed her pet cat
and in searching for 1t went into a
spare bedroom To her horror she
saw the tail Of a leopard protruding
from beneath the bed.
With great presence of mind Miss
Sandiford left The roem quietly and
informed her father. Mr.. Sandi-
ford, not believing the story, went
into the room and lifted up theOver-
hanging coyerlet Of the bed. He
found himself confronted by the
glistening eyes and barred teeth of
the animal
Mr.. Sandiford rushed out of the
room and sent for Capt. Younghus-
band, the famous hunter, who hap

Younghusband found the leopard
.endeavoring madly to leap through
the windows, which were iron
barred. He killed it at the first shot.

INDIANS LIKE GOLD TEETH.

The statement Of Secretary Hitch
cock that ''the grafters would steal
the gold from the teeth Of the full
blood Indians if the department Of
the interior did not protect them,"
causes the average man to smile.
The full-blooded Indians have a
fancy for gold teeth, and many Of
them have a row Of teeth that gilt
ter. This is where the secretary got
his idea.
1t may be interesting to know Just
how some Of these Indians got the
gold to put in their teeth. The fol-
lowing story is told by a clerk in the
Choctaw land Office, who saw the in
cident when it happened: John
Willis, a Mississippi C%hoctaw, was
making a deal with a white man,
perhaps a CRATER, whereby the white
man wa to get his surplus land I'M
der lease, He incidentally remarked
that he had a tooth that he wanted
fixed, so the CRATER, who was very
anxious, told him to go to a dentist,
have his teeth fixed, and have the
dentist charge it to him, the CRATER.
The Indian went over and decided
that he would have a full set of gold
teeth. He had the dentist pull all
his teeth, some of them perfectly
sound, and a new set made of gold.
The bill amounted to $3.50, which,
according to instructions, the Indian
had charged to the CRATER, and
which the latter had to pay.

Farmer mailed" Crows, but Still They
Carried of Property.

Gustave Becker, the chef Of the
Holland house in New York, recent
ly bought an apartment house worth
100000.
In a discussion of this purchase
Mr.. Becker said:

Holland house, and for a number of
years l have been interested in real
estate. Chefs in America get, I am
happy to say, good salaries, but to
state that they get salaries big
enough to allow them, every little
while, to invest their surplus savings
in 100000 apartment houses-well,
that is an exaggeration, like the pie
story of the Breton farmer.
"There was a farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell a visitor how his
farm had been overrun with pies

CUSTOMS IN ENGLISH I'M

There was considerable heartburn
ing in the Royal Welch Fusiliers on
the receipt of the order that the knot
of black ribbon known as the clash
worn at the back of the collar was to
be removed, but this order only re-
ferred to the service dress, and with
full dress the flash has to be worn
as hitherto. This has now been Off
,cidlly made known, and has caused
great satisfaction to this distin-
guished regiment. The flash was
originally introduced at the period
when all soldiers wore their hair in
powder and pigtails, and its pur-
poses was to keep the uniform at
the hack free from powder and
grease.
All regiments prize especially any
distinguishing mark in their uni
form. In former days regiments
had grenadiers and light companies
on their TANKS, and these companies
were distinguished by a grenade for
the grenadiers and a bugle for the
light company on their collars, and
it would be a good thing if this old
custom could be revived.-Court

THAT SUN SPOT.

According to the Washington Her. ald, We now have a sun spot whose area is as great as that of the United
 States, plus few hundred thousand square miles. And this sun spot is to play particular hob with sublumi- nary affairs. Already it has produced
 a fearsome snowstorm at Pittsburg,
 with the awe-inspiring accompani- ments of forked lightning and roaring thunder that sent women and chill dren shuddering to feather beds for protection, created a wild panic among mules and horses in the streets, caus- ed men to scurry from tall buildings, and set a college professor to pre- dieting other dire disasters to that soot-begrimed community.

OUR EASTER EDITION.

The Graphic next Sunday will is sue it's annual Easter edition. For some years the Graphic has made it's Easter edition second only in size and importance to it's regular Christ mas editions, which are easily and all ways the largest and best papers of the year. The people of Pine Bluff and vicinity have come to know what to expect whn the Graphic makes an- nouncement of an Easter or Christ mas edition, and our Easter edition of this year will be fully up to the standard For this issue we have some half-tone illustrations appropri- ate to the season, and also a number of special Easter features, which in addition to our regular news and oth- 4r Sunday features will make next Sundays Graphic altogether superb newspaper.
 The Sunday Graphic occupies a dis tinct and exclusive field in Pine Bluff Journalism. 1t is easily and always the best newspaper and advertising medium of the week. It is issued at a time when the people have rest and have ample time for reading, ref1ec- ton and recreation. The Sunday Gra- pllic therefore fills distinct want, and is the most popular Pine Bluff paper of the week. It has something for everybody. and pleases all
 For the purpose of next Sundays issue the Graphic will combine it's regular monthly Pay Day" edition with it's annual Easter edition, and will be generally and thoroughly cir culated throughout the city As a newspaper and advertising medium it will be PAR EXCELLENCE, and will stand second in size and importance only to the Graphic's Christmas edi- tion of last December

in the sun spot prophecies of grew some evils. It is to derange all elec- trical operations in the metropolis demoralize railroad schedules and cause clocks to stop. Complete re- turns from other parts of the alright ed world are not yet in, though that they will come in plenty we have no doubt Our scientists are alert, what ever else may be said to their detrl- ment
 Somehow, this kindly and sturdy old earth of ours continues to revolve upon it's axis and to hold it's right of way in the orbit fixed for it at the beginning of time. In spite of the clamorous outcres of scientists, the solar system of which our planet l2 a somewhat inconsequential part goes along in it's accustomed way Seed time and harvest we still have with us. Sun spots come and sun spots go, and the earth rolls on as If nothing had happened to the face of the king of day.
 It follows, of course, that the scien- lists are divided in opinion as to what a sun spot is. Some of them contend that it is the result Of big piece falling away from the sun and leaving a deep hole. Others are con- vinced that it is merely a prodigious cloud of mist generated by the sun and which demonstrates that that great center of things cosmical IS portentous changes. The fact seems to be that modern astro- nomical research has added nothing of great value to mankind's knoWl- edege of the essentials. When study ing the play of these majestic forces, our children of larger growth can only lisp the infants awestruck apos- trophe:
 Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
