inc working out of algebra problems Remember, you're out there to figure the algebra, and not the ante-though both abound in unknown quantities.
 Speaking of unknown quantities, was little in doubt for a while about something in your last letter. There where you speak of several jungle birds" being among the members of the legislative committee which wis. tied the university. You know I never got a diploma, even from what now passes for grammar school. But I've kept my eyes open out here on the larm most of the time it was daylight, and l fancy l know a little about ornithology firsthand. Guess you didn' t know your father had that word in his stock. Well, listen to this-I think a jungle bird" must be a 'rara avis"
 Speaking seriously, know you don t mean any harm, and I understand it. but others may not. So maybe it would be best if you don't try to apply grotesque names to farmers, at least until you've cut your eye teeth. know we're called "clod-hoppers" and apple knockers" and hill billies, . and none of us ain't been hurt yet. But it don't sound just right from a young man of your years.
 Just remember that if these jungle birds" weren't pretty smooth fellows they wouldn't be on legislative commit tees. And recollect that all the time you're practicing with the crew if you're ever that lucky, that you're just strengthening your back to thin corn in vacation, If the boys of that tenant on the back part of the place, who gen orally do it, should get sick.
 Your early triumph as a freshman has pleased me. You needn't be disap- pointed that you weren't made class president. None of you boys knowS anything about each other yet. In two or three years, after they find out what you're made of, then if you don't get elective honors you may begin to ask yourself questions. In the meantime, of course, you will do your best as yell leader of the first-year men-Aas you call them. l want you to put your heart into it--holler louder, twice as loud if you can, than any of those other fellows. Your early training calling the hogs from the creek pas ture will come in handy. You are al ready beginning to appreciate what a kind father has done for you.

Atlanta 5, Little Rock 4.

Another of thosenerve- racking contests marked the hOme-com ing of Finn's Colts yesterday, the result being that Atlanta tied up the score in the seventh and won out in the ninth, the final score being , to I. The game was harder to lose because of the big four run lead that had been gath cred off Castleton in the opening session, and it looked as if the game were to be walk away for the locals. Manager Finn tried out new pitcher named Wheel CT, none of his other recruits having put in his appearance. Wheeler went along swimmingly for six innings, the Crackers fail ing to score after the first round, when they annexed one lone tai ly. However, at the end of the sixth he was all in and to open the seventh, he walked the first two batsmen the weakest hit ters on the team. Then Becker singled to left field, and with the bases full'and none gone, Buch- anan, who had been warming up, was thrown into the breach. He was in too big hole, however, and before the side had been retired three runs had been counted and the game was tied. "Rube" Keith will likely pitch for Little Rock today.

RELEASED ON BAIL
WERE THE 70 suFFRAGIsTs WIG
SToRMED PARLIAMENT,
WITH LADY BARBERTON ASLEADER
Demonstration Raid More Important
and More Numerous Than Any
Previous Effort.

London, March 21.-The women SUI
fragists attempted a demonstration
raid on parliament more important
and more numerous than any OF their
previous efforts. The police, however,
had timely warning and made prepara'
tions that resulted in making the de
monstration somewhat ineffective. The
only result was some amusing dis
orderly scufles and the arrest ci
nearly seventy suferagists, who were
at once liberated on bail.
Previous to the demonstration an
Indignation meeting, which was large
" attended by the so-called "Sutfra
gettes" and their friends, was held at
Caxton Hall, where the speakers de
nounced the house of commons for
sitting the Dickinson woman suffra
gist bill.
The raid was led by Lady Barberton
who was assisted by the most promi
nent women who took part in the pre-
viOus raids.
The women drove up in wagons, and
after promenading before the house
of parliament stormed the entrance o1
the house of commons, where the po
lice re-enforcements, drawn up for the
occasion, awaited the onslaught anc
drove the women back.
After the first rebuff the womer
made a second determined attempt II
penetrate the police Gordon, but all II
little purpose.
In accordance with instructions, the
police employed against the women az
little force as possible.
At a late hour the suffragists reas
sembled at CaXton Hall, and amid thu
greatest enthusiasm passed a resolu
ton to send another deputation to th'
premier and to renew their demonstra
tions before parliament.
Accordingly, another move was mad
against the house of commons, tn
disorderly scenes were repeated on
smaller scale and several further ar
rests were made

The official figures, just forthcom-
ing, show that leather takes an impor-
tant place in the commerce of the
United States, the aggregate having
amounted to $15O,OOO,000 in 1906 This
represents a rapid growth, our leather
dealings ten years ago having been
but $55,OOO,000. Our imports are main
ly hides and skins, which are the
crude material for our leather-work-
ing industries, while foreign countries
are taking our manufactures Of leather
in many forms and in increasing
quantities. In 1906 we sold abroad
$9,500000 worth of boots and shoes
and $25. 100000 worth of sole leather.
The biggest item in imports Of this
character was $32,5OO,OOO worth Of
goatskins, to be made up into the
high-class American shoes which are
steadily walking into favor the world
over.

Flee For Their Lives.

Vienna, March 23.-AccorJing to
the news received in Budapest from
Moldavia, the peasant movement N
Roumania is spreading. The town Of
Dorogoi has been sacked and burned
by the peasants. The inhabitants are
compelled to fee for their lives.
The seriousness of the situation in
Northern Moldavia, growing out of the
agrarian disorders, according to the
latest telegraphic reports reaching
here from Czernowitz, on the border,
has not been exaggerated.
From estimates made 1t appears
that 400 farms in Moldavia have been
devastated, 5000 fugitives have fed
over the Roumanian frontier into Aus
tria and total of 10000 Jews are
homeless.
The reports give total of about So

The toll roads once so numerous all
over the country are gradually but
surely becoming free public highways.
The toll system was recognized as
necessity of earlier times, but the
modern spirit will not submit to the
restrictions involved in being COM
PEELED to pay tribute to private own
ership. Yet the toll road has by no
means entirely disappeared, and it is
found even in close proximity to big
and prosperous cities. Cleveland, O.,
one of the foremost towns in the
state, is moving to secure the aboli-
ton of 10 miles of toll roads in Cuya-
hoga county, in which Cleveland is
located. Rensselaer, county some years
ago threw open its tollgates, and can
lay claim to rank among the most
progressive communities in the En-
pire state.

Annthsr Canal Project.

TO the Baltic or vice versa at will, and
she is also developing her interior sys-
TEN, showing she is giving attention
TO the needs of peace and commerce
as well as those of war and national
defense High officials in England
have suggested the adviSability OF
constructing a canal from the Clyde
to the Forth for the use of battleships.
1t appears, says Troy Times, there is
a feasible channel of about 30 miles,
and all that is needed is dredging the
bottom, which is of soft sand. 1t is
asserted that the canal can be so con-
trived that the tides will scour 1t and
thus prevent it from being filled up
again, wherein a great advantage VIII
be scored over many other similar
canals, including the Suez, where
there has to be constant fighting to
maintain proper depth of water.
What England will do is not an
nounced, but this multiplicity of canal
undertakings must impress the OBJ
server. The United States is in the
lead in such matters, and it is typical
of its spirit that all of the works now
under way are intended primarily for
purposes of peace and to facilitate
commerce.

A farmer who has just driven into
Vermilion, Saskatchewan, in a dog
sled brings word that he is running
the most northerly wheat-raising
ranch in the world, and he submits
specimens of fine grain to prove the
statement. AS his farm is 1,5OO miles
above the international boundary line
it certainly is pretty well north, but
the farmer is enthusiastic over the
conditions. All the region needs, he
afIirms, is the opening up of communi-
cation, as travel by dog conveyance
and without roads or trails is a little
slow. He admits that the winters are
a trife severe up there, but says the
summers are great for grain raising
No doubt Canada will hail this as a
fresh boom for her wonderful north
west. but it is quite likely that the
average farmer would prefer section
which does not require a combination
of agriculture with arctic exploration.

D. S. MARINES TO POLICE PORTS.
BLUEJAcKETs TAKE A HAND IN
CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.
Action Of This Government viii Re'
Iieve Foreign Countries OF
Making Naval Demonstration.

Washington, March 22.-Bluejack'
cts and marines have been landed
from the United States gunboat Ma
rietta, at Trujillo and Celba, and prob
ably at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in
order to protect American interests In
those ports.
Advices to this effect. were received
at the navy department from COM
mander Fullam, of the Marietta, and
they were at once transmitted to the
state department.
AS yet no word has been received
as to whether forces have been landed
at Central American ports on the Pa
cific coast side, but undoubtedly this
step will be taken if American inter-
ests are considered in danger.
The navy department feels that the
action of Commander Fullam brings
the situation completely in hand so
far as the safeguarding of trade In
terests is concerned.
In addition to the protection given
to Americans ii is felt that the action
of this government will relieve for
eign governments of the necessity Of
taking any steps toward making a
naval demonstration.
The landing of the bluejackets and
marines and the policing OF both
shores of the Central American repub-
lies with United States gunboats be-
fore trading vessels had been molest'
ed in any manner, or fereign interests
jeopardized, is regarded here as a
diplomatic move that will prevent any
international complications growing
out of the policy of the United States
not to permit European demonstra
tions in Central American or South
American waters.
From the meager dispatches re
ceived it is understood that Com
mander Fullam landed aforce of about
90 marines from the Marietta at Tru
lilo and 20 bluejackets at Celba and
then continued his course to Puerto
COrteZ.

SERIES Of TRAGEDIES
OF THE MOST SENSATIONAL AND
SPECTACULAR CHARACTER.
COUNTY ATTORNEY JEFF D. M'LEAA
Was Shot and Killed and HamiI p.
Scott Fatally Wounded BY VIII
lam Thompson.

Ft. Worth, Tex, March 23.-Follow.
ing a raid on an alleged gambling
house, County Attorney JEFF D. Nc.
Lean was shot and killed and Hamil
p. Scott, a member of the raiding
party, fatally wounded by William
Thompson, the One-armed proprietor
of the resort
Half an hour later Thompson was
surrounded in lumber yard within
100 yards of where Scott was shot
down and captured after a desperate
fight, in which Thompson received bull
let wounds that will probably cause
his death within a few hours.
The series of tragedies were of the
most sensational character. The house
raided is located on Main street, near
the corner of Sixth, in the heart OF
the retail district.
Forced Entrance Into House.
County Attorney Mclean, heading
party of deputies, forced an entrance
into the place, arrested several men
and loaded furniture van with tables
and other paraphernalia.
The wagon with the confiscated fur.
niture had just moved off when
Thompson approached Mclean, who
was standing on the sidewalk, and
when within a few feet of the official
fired one shot, the bullet striking Nc
Lean in the throat, breaking his neci;
and causing almost instant death. A.
Mclean fell, Thompson turned and
ran west on Sixth street, with Scot
in pursuit.
Dodging behind bill board at the
corner of Seventh and ThrockmOrtOr
streets, Thompson ambushed Scott
shooting the deputy three times in the
body. When Scott fell Thompson
stopped only long eonugh to discard hi:
empty pictol for that carried by the
dying deputy, and then he renewed
his flight.
Thompson, by this time, thoroughly
desperate, was ready for fight K
the death. Bell and Lloyd opened fire
on Thompson, which the latter return
ed The officers wounded Thompson
in three places and he is probably ia
| tally injured. AS soon as Thompson
had emptied his gun the officers fel
upon him with bare hands and madt
him a prisoner.
