 Nixon admitted that he had one fault. A fondness for gambling. Wouldn't he make a fine man in the prosecuting attorneys office. A man sworn to uphold the law and he can't keep it himself. ''1f you give me the office I'll be mighty good, he says. If you do you'll have to take the chance that he will give up his mania for gambling. Nixon calls me corporation law yer. He says this because he thinks you people haven't any sense and that it will influence you against me. Every firm of any nature in Pine Bluff is a corporation. It takes a lawyer who understands the law to arrange the many little details for these business firms and that's why Nixon, that little 'nigger' law yer, can't be a corporation lawyer, as he calls it.

NEW MOSQUITO SCHEME.
Has Been Tried in other Places and
Interests Health Commissioners.

The mosquito determination cam
paign is being pushed by the mos
quito committee of the Board of Health,
and Chairman John w. Dobbins and
his colleagues are interested in a
scheme that has been successful in re-
moving the little pests in the West.
A new means of determination, a mi
mute fish of the minnow family, with an
appetite for the larvae of
the pests, is being considered.
Mr.. Dobbins said today that at the
present there are very few breeding
places for the pests within the city
limits, but that the breeding places in
surrounding towns were numerous, and
favorable winds blew the pests into
the city in clouds. Oil as a means of
determination has the drawback that
a strong wind blows the oily covering
of the breeding place to one part of
the pond and allows the wrigglers to
gain air, or in flood time the pond with
a small area becomes a miniature lake
and the oil is spread so as to render it
useless for the purpose intended.

CONDEMNS HONESTY OF
THE HYP0CRITICAL BRAND
Pastor Scores Men who Practise It
Simply to Gain-speaks of
Millionaire Rogues.

You cannot judge a mans real worth
by looking into Bradstreet's or Dun's re-
ports" said the Rev. Samuel ]. Skeving-
ton, pastor of the Clinton Avenue Baptist
Church, yesterday in his sermon taken
from the story Of Joseph. The sermon was
an interesting discourse on moral strength
in adversely and he used the beautiful
Biblical tale to illustrate his subject,
Frustrated but Protected"
1T is not always popular to be right. It
Is often very lonely to be right even in
the boosted morality of our twentieth cen
fury civilization, the absolutely square
man., just in all his dealings, righteous in
all his ways, in business and politics and
social life, is isolated, apart, a marked
man, subject to the jibes and ridicule OF
his fellows.
THE man who is honest because he
relieves that honesty is the best policy
that in the long run the policy Of honesty
will pay the biggest dividends. is a poten-
tial thief. What he is after is not honesty
but the larger pgof1ts, and If that mar
thinks he can make more by being dis
honest he readily turns plunderer and
pirate. Be true to what you know is right
cost what it may; be right according tc
what you know is true, lead where 1t may
to the palace or the prison, to the sceptre
of the king or the letters Of the slave.
Material prosperity is not the sign OF
Gods presence and approval, Some of the
biggest rogues In the world are million
aires, and some of Gods saints are In the
Ipoorhouse. You annot judge a mans
real true worth by looking in Bradstreet's
or Dun's."

SCARE AT MOUSE? PSHAW!
Brave Woman Fights Rat and Discovers
Lost Money.

NORTH CALDWELL, Oct. MRS.
Jason NORWOOD is not a woman who
jumps on a chair or faints at sight of a
mouse. Single-handed she fought a
combative rat to the death in her
kitchen today. That she killed the rat
greatly rejoiced her, for in its nest she
found pieces of a IS bill h lost weeks
lgo, which she thought a tramp
tole.
Mrs. NORWOOD had not opened the
over oven of her kitchen range since
last spring. She opened it yesterday
and was surprised to see a bundle OF
rags and paper in the oven. She seized
the bundle, and the rat. hidden in its
nest. lit her hand severely. Mrs. Worm
wood emitted one shrek and grabbed
a poker.
The angry ratjumped out and showed
fight. Mrs. Wormwood struck at 1t
again and again. The rat. squeaiing
wildly, sprang at her twice, but at
last she drove it in a corner Int killed
it. After all, it was only trying to de-
fend its young. for four very small rats
were in its nest. The mother had
gnawed through the kitchen floor and
the concrete base of the range to find
a safe resting place. The fragments
Of the lost So bill formed part of the
nest.

MRS. PEABODY WILLING.
Boston Bankers Wife Does Not Object
to His Getting a Divorce.

BOSTON, Oct. Mrs. Elizabeth
Copley Peabody, who has been sued
for divorce by her husband, George Lee
Peabody, the Boston banker, will make
no objections to his getting a decree.
In an interview she says:
MIR. Peabody and I were married
quite young, too young, in fact, and
we did not understand each other or
ourselves, as it now seems to rpe. We
each held to our ways and we lived
peacefully, but perhaps a little indie
pendently of each other.
ut seems to me that we continued
in this way quite ignorantly, as l now
look back upon it, until the time came
a few ago when he seemed to
desire to call me back, and that we
should become more domestic, ex-
tremely so as his wish appeared to me-,
and 1 just couldn't stand it.

n of the very best Of men. He was
a model mai We were sort of mis-
mated, that is ALL"

ACTOR SINGER HURT.
Henry Clay Barnabee May Not Survive
His Injuries.

NEW YORK, Oct. Henry Clay
Barnabee, the retired operate come
dian, formerly of the Bostonians, who
was knocked down by a street a late
Saturday night, is lying in Bellevue
Hospital so seriously hurt that h doc
tors have thought best to refuse adj
mittance to most of the friends who
called to see him Miss Catherine B.
Harris, Mr.. Barnabee's niece, and two
men whose names were not recorded
We're the only visitors allowed.
Mr.. Barnabee suffered a slight hern-
orrhage at the ears, and this. the doc
tors say, may indicate that his skull is
fractured. If this is made certain there
will be an operation tomorrow when
DIR. Charles l.. Lusk, the visiting sur
geon. calls at the hospital. Mr.. Barna-
bee was only partly conscious most Of
the day.
It was said today at the hospital that
the actor is "a, instead of ga, as who's
Who" had it, and that his advanced
age made it unlikely that he would re-
cover if the injury is as serious as it is
feared.

BOYS WILL BE THEIR
OWN HOUSEKEEPERS.
New Jersey Man Has Hit on a Novel
Scheme for Lessening the Work
of His Wife.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-William Jeffry,
of Berkeley Heights, N. j., who is the
father of six sons ranging in age from
6 to Is years, is building a one-story
bungalow in the rear of his home for
the exclusive use of his boys n given
over entirely to their care. There the
boys are to live, study and play, and
there they can rough house" to what
ever extent they please, says their
father, but they are only to enter their
parents house on invitation, and their
parents in return will call on them.
Mr.. Jeffry said: 81 had long been
trying to devise some way of lessening
my wife's work; at last I hit on this,
and / have written to President Roose-
welt to ask him what he thinks of 1T.
My wife and I believe it will cut down
her Iabors by half or two-thirds."
There is only one room in the bunga-
low, but that is to be divided into a
number of smaller ones by sliding
screens. The boys are to do all the
homework, such as making beds, tend
ing fires, sweeping, etc. Mr.. Jeffry
says that in this way they will acquire
a sense of responsibility and spirit of
self-reliance.
The boys and Mrs. Jeffry approve of
the plan, the boys anticipating much
pleasure in their new home.

HIGHER SALARIES
NEEDED FOR PREACHERS.
Methodist Episcopal Conferences Out
West All Have the Same
Story to Tell.

UTICA. Oct. 7.-Reports received from
ten of the Methodist Episcopal conferences
in Illinois and neighboring States show
that the question of higher salary for the
average minister of that church has
reached a crisis.
The generally expressed opinion is ina
religious work soon will suffer for lack OF
preachers unless salaries are raised. In
many of the conferences just held there
was an exodus Of preachers from the pull
pit to enter business life.
The higher salaries movement was dis
cussed and advocated at practically all
the conferences.
Salaries have been advanced about 500
each during the last four years, but this
increase-which has not kept pace with the
Increase In cost of ~livi9g-has failed to
stem the ministerial stampede into bust
ness life.

MILK UP ONE CENT
CONSUMERS TO PAY WORE
BEGINNING NOV. |.
North Jersey Output Short and Farmers
Demand More Money from
Dealers.

Continued shortage of the milk supply
from the dairy sections in North Jersey
and the consequent demands of the farmers
for a higher price for the scanty supply
they now obtain from their herds of cattle
is steadily increasing the cost of the com
modify. On November l another jump of
one cent a quart to customers Is to be
made, but it is expected that the price
then adopted can be maintained during the
winter. This is the situation as explained
TO the EVENING STAR by one of the
largest local wholesalers.
According to this authority, milk today
is higher in cost than II has been since
the early sos. Farmers are now demand
ing Tour cents a quart for their milk at
the creameries where the milk is cooled
and bottled, and they had put in their de-
mand for an increase in this price to Az
cents to take effect November /. The big
wholesalers have already accepted the in
creased price rate, for the nipple reason
that the farmer is in control of the stu
alton.
The big dealer says the farmers demand
is not unjust. The drouth of the past sum-
mer reduced the supply in every section,
the cattle giving but a portion of their
usual supply. The drouth also burned IN
pasture land and reduced the hay crop so
that the farmers AVE to buy food much
earlier than usual this year. The big
wholesaler quoted assigns this as the justi-
hcation for the farmers demand for a
higher price for his milk.
With milk delivered at the country
c%reaneries at Az cents, the wholesaler has
to add l cent a quart for freightage, and
between and 2 cents for the cost of bot
Ting and handling at the creamery, hand
ling it to supply depot and cost of pack
age and delivery,
4fhere are, however, a considerable num-
Der of small PETAL dealers who own their
own herds in nearby suburban towns and
villa ges, who are still supplying their Gus
toners at a price about cent a quart be-
low that Of the big dealers. Whether these
will increase their price is a question
which can only be determined by persist
emit inquiry.
