The origin of the sentiment. ~old
wood to burn, old wine to drink. old
friends to trust, old authors to read" is
somewhat obscured. Bacon found that
Alfonso Of Aragon was wont to say in
commendation Of age that age ap-
peared to be best In these four things.
John Webster Q639 went further in
declaring. "old wine wholesomest. old
pippins toothsomest." and that "old
wood burns brightest. old linen washes
whitest." Goldsmith in she stoops to
Conquer" says, "Old friends, old times.
old manners, old books, old wine"

Sir William Wightman held office
in the old court of queens bench in
London far beyond the prescribed
time, and at last, on the eve of the
'4ong vacation" he took a sort of
farewell of his brother judges. How
ever, when athe morrow of All

smiling at Westminster hall. "Why,
Brother Wightman," said Sir Alex
ander Cockburn, @you told us that
you intended to send in your resig-
nation to the lord chancellor before
the end of August" $50 1 did," said
Sir William, 'but when went

you think that we can do with you
messing about the house all dayT
So, you see, 1 was obliged to come

Words and Phrases That Spell the

Words and Phrases That Spell the
Same Backward and Forward.
"There are in the English Ian
guage certain words and sometimes
whole sentences of which the let
ters composing them, taken either
Ia direct or in reverse order, read
the same. Such combinations are
called palindromes, a name derived
from two Greek words meaning to
run again-.that is, the letters run
or read backward as well as for
ward.
"When the first man met the first
woman-whose name, Eve, by the
way, is a palindrome-he may have
introduced himself to her thus
Madam, I'm Adam In this sup
posed case | assume that he spoke
English and not a garden of Eden
ish dialect, and if my supposition be
correct he made use of palm
.dromic expression.
Among the simple words of this
kind or instances of whole sentences
are deed, defed, cog, Hannah, level,
minim, redder, nun, repaper, re-
viver, rotator, sexes, shahs and tat.
WAS it a cat l saw? p is palindromic.
Barring the spelling the follow
ing sentence may be given: Iewd
did l live & evil l did dwell An
other example is, Desserts l desire
not, SO long no lost one rise dis
tressed.' 1t is said that Napoleon
was once asked whether he could
have invaded England, when he re-
piled, able was l ere l saw Elba.
This is a good specimen of a palm
rome, but of course the reply was
never made, as, he would have an
swered in French. Here is one in
Latin, Subj dura a rudibus.' En-
dure hard things from the rude
"The following list of five words
furnishes a remarkable combina-
ton of letters. With one exception
they are all Latin words in good re-
pute, and the letters are capable of
many regular transformations:
sAToR
AREPO
TIE N EFT
OP E RI
ROTAS
"The first letter of each word,
read downward from the top of the
list, spells the first word, and the
second letter of each word, read in
the same way, spells the second
word, and so on through the list.
Beginning at the top each word,
read backward, spells the CORE
spending word in the list under it
that is, the top word spells the bot
tom word, the second word from the
top spells the second word from the
bottom, and so on. Again, begin
ming at the bottom of the list, the
last letter of each word, read up
ward, spells the word at the top,
and in the same way the second let
ter of each word spells the second
word from the top, and so on
through the list again."

WEDDING IN
 "COLORED 4O0"
Fashionable COlored People of Dudley Lake Married in the Light of the Moon and Under Unusual
 Auspices.

The Graphic is in receipt of a letter from our good friends, D. E. Niven
 and Company, giving an account of {,
 wedding in the '..colored 400'' circles at
 Dudley Lake recently and which was
 attended by many white people. The letter reads:
 James Davis of Little Rock to Char- lie Willingham of Tucker, at the resi- dence of the brides parents, on Du!- ley Lake near the little town of Tuck
 CT, Jefferson county, Ark, at s o'clock
 D. m., June 24, 1907 Davis is a young colored man of high social standing and aspiration, and where he is known is highly respected by both white and colored. The bride is an amiable col ored damsel of high charcter and loy-
 able disposition. She is the younge st daughter of Louis Willingham and wife, who have lived in this community for the past forty years; is a warm friend of the white people and had done a great deal to dispel that senti-
 ment of prejudice that is inclined to Turk in the bosom of the white and colored boys for each other. Thei:, home is on the high banks overlook ing the beautiful Dudley Lake. The
 bride was dressed in while silk, and was given away by her father in a short address, a1luding to Ile fact that he and his wife were raised by white people who owned them as slaves and that this good day he was proud of his teachings and had the highest re- spect for the good white people.
 After the ceremony was said the guests, who numbered about five hum dred, including a score or more of the best white people of the community were invited in the house, where two dining rooms had been tastily arranged, one for the white people and one for the colored, with tables fille1 to overfowing with all the delicacies of the season, including gobblers and others of his class
 There was such a multitude of peo- pie at the Willingham home on this occasion that it was, necessary to have the ceremony said on the front porch, while the large audience stood in the front yard surrounded by beautiful flowers.
 F. o. Brian, the local pastor of the brides church, said the words that made the groom and bride man an1 wife. The night was warm but the moon was full shedding it's rays in gorgeous splendor upon the lake, the inhabitants of which seemed to leap above it's waters as if to get a glimpse of what was transpiring in the crowd above them. Everything moved in per feet harmony and every one enjoyed the occasion and wished the newly welded pair long and happy life and hoped that they might emulate the life and example set by the brides aged parents.

for Dismissal Because
of Discrepancies in
Indictment.

Representative Binger HeFmanns trial
was halted today for the fourth time on
motion that the defendant VINO is on
trial for destroying public records, be
dismissed because Of a fatal variance
between the Indictment and the eVi-
denCe.
Immediately after court convened at
10 o'clock this morning Justice Stafford
excused the jury until 1:50 o'clock this
afternoon Later he excused the JFry
until Monday morning.
Counsel for the defense argued that
the indictment did not show what il
could have shown had due diligence
been exercised. District Attorney Baker
and Assistant District Attorney Jesse
d. Adkins argued that the indictment
returned by the grand jury was sufn-
cient TO support prosecution. and that
the testimony OF Witness HouEh bore
out the Indictment
At 1890 this afternoon Justice Stat
ford took a recess in order that counsel
Tor both sides might discuss another
point in law. relative to the suffciency
of the Indictment.
At recess Justice Stafford said; The
Jury need not return until Monday
morning at 1890 O'Clock"
