Our Bodies Are Machines.

How many people. l wonder. ever pause to consider that their bodies arc merely machines to do work, furnaces in which necessary fuel is burned workshops in which wornout parts are supplied and storero0m> in which fuel and food are laid away for use when neededI Further. like any other piece of apparatus, the body works better under certain circumstances. Its fires burn better with fuels of certain sorts, mixed in certain proportions. and it cannot keep in perfect condition unless furnished with proper materials.

 Gradually the harsh tones melted tc soft, endearing phrases. The car had become very crowded. It stopped at Van Ness.
 The conductor, wedging among pas sengers midway of the aisle. could not see the rear steps. With his hand or the bell cord, he suddenly yelled:

COMPLAINTS
MADE

Many complaints have reached the Graphic office in the past several
 months because of the utter carless-
 ness that is displayed in distributing
 mail in the Pine Bluff postoffice. The Graphic is in position to speak au- thoritatively on this subject owing to the fact that it has frequently receiv- ed papers, letters and other mail mat ter, addressed to other persons and firms in it's box at the postoffice. Tn
 many instances the mail would ac-
 cumulate in the large assortment of papers and letters received by this
 office daily and it would be necessary for one of it's office employees to re- turn to the postofice and place the
 mail, which should have been prompt ly delivered to others, in the mail
 slots There is no excuse for a con- tinuation of this carelessness. If it
 was an occasional occurrence no com
 plaint would be made, but it happens almost daily at the local postotice. Other complaints are made daily rel
 ative to the poor lighting facilities in the postoffce at nights. On many nights the lights are not turned on at all in the corridor and when they are they are so few and far between as to render them almost useless, except to find ones way to the mail boxes.
 Then the visitor is required to strike
 matches to read the combination on the box.
 The Graphic has no personal griey-
 ances against the postmaster or any
 of the other employees of the postoffice,
 but unclean and unattractive places
 are no credit to the city of Pine Bluff
 and is a great reflection upon the
 Government Or that part of it which
 has jurisdiction over the postoffice
 building here. If anything the un-
 attractive appearance of the Pine Bluff postoffice fails to impress visitors in this city, Now, however, that Post master Furth's attention has been
 called to these conditions, the Ora phic expects to see them promptly
 remedied.

POISON in Pie
WYOMING MAN ATE PLUM PIE HIS
WIFE MADE AND DIES.
MYSTERY ABOUT THE AFFAIR
Who Says She Made the Pie, But De
nies Any knowledge Of How
Strychnine Got Into II.

Evansto, Wyo.-The county authori
ties here have received the report OF
State Chemist II. G. Knight on the
chemical analysis made Of the stomach
and liver OF John II. Bruce, the Smoot,
Wyoming, ranchman, who died recently
under mysterious circumstances, af'
ter partaking OF piece of dried plum
pie made by his wife.
The report OF the state chemist
shows that both the stomach and liver
of Bruce contained about three mouth
fuls OF the pic. Part of this had gone
into the liver and part had been com
municGted with the tissues OF the
stomach. but the amount of strychnine
was sufficient TO kill five men.
AS the result OF the report OF State
Chemist Knight, the authorities are
making n rigid examination Of the cir
cumstances surrounding the case. The
widow of the ranchman admits having
made the pie. but insists she did not
put any poison into the pie, and that II
must have been placed in the plum
sauce before the pie was made or in
the pie after II had been baked.
Bruce took the pie MS part OF lunch
when he went to his ranch from his
residence at Smoot. Al the lunch hour
he started to eat the pastry, bnt soon
became i'll and died within less than
an hour afterward. in convulsions. BE-
fore he died he stated that he had been
poisoned, but made no statement as to
who had done the poisoning. y piece
OF the pie was given to cat and tho
animal died in ten minutes. An autopsy
was then held and the stomach ana
liver sent to the state chemist for anal
ysis.
The authorities say they are certain
that n premeditated murder has been
committed and the details OF the
crime. II they ever come to light may
show a remarkable case.

FEARLESS MARSHAL JAILs oEs'
PERADO.
Bad Man From Tennessee Too Slo" or
the Draw for Colorado officer.

Sugar City. Coio.-Vowing that he
would not be taken alive, Harvey
Hackworth. a native of Tennessee. who
boasts of having killed eight mig
gers" shot to death his uncle AMI
manned a dozen others. and never
known to do time" for any OF them'
made n desperate effort to add Con
stable w. S. Harvey TO his list OF VIC
tins, but he proved too slow on the
draw and was forced TO submit TO ar
rest after hard struggle.
He was taken into custody on u
charge of shooting Eptmonio Gurule, n
Mexican sheep herder. with whom he
worked at the Forder ranch, twenty
Ave miles northeast OF Sugar city.
Only the sheer grit and presence ot
mind of the veteran officer saved his
life and landed behind prison bars one
OF the toughest men ever dealt with in
this locality. The shooting of Gurule
occurred Sunday night, while the
flock was being brought In of the
range.
He had armed himself with a 1896
rife besides a As caliber revolver. and
on entering the place for supper re
iterated his statements that nobody
could take him, and added, You no
tice none of them attemptedNit, either.
Constable Harvey had concealed
himself behind door and instructed
one OF the other employees that should
Hackworth lay down the rifle. TO take
1t into another room. The MeNicans
assailant rested the rife against his
chair as he drew up to the table. 81
am afraid of that thing" said the
ranchman, as he picked up the weapon
and carried 1t into another room, and
Hackworth laughed ;.t the apparent
cowardice of his fellow workman.
At the moment Constable Harvey
sprang from behind the door. and lev.
cling the gun at his man. ordered him
to throw up his hands. Instead Hack
worth grabbed for his revolver. but
quick as n flash well directed blow
from the big six-shooter in the hands
Of the officer sent him reeling to the
floor.
Fighting back like a tiger, Hack
worth rained blows with his fists on
the officers face and body, but was
finally overpowered and submitted to
the handouts. The prisoner is twenty
six years old and weighs close to 200
pounds, while Constable Harvey is
fifty-four years old, rather short of
stature, and weighs about 140 pounds.
