GAVE HIM TIT FOR TAT
Bit of Conversation Worthy of Re cording Heard at an English
 Railway Station.

Young Stevens was on his way north to spend the week end with his parents and felt in particular ly jovial mood, says Tit-Bits.
 The train in which he was travel ing stopped at a small village and as a farmer, who was sauntering up and down the platform, came op- posite Stevens compartment, he was asked by that youth if he knew that the duke of Devonshire was in the train.
 Immediately the man showed great interest and said:
 "No! Is he?"
 "T think he is not" answered Stevens. ''I only asked if you knew that he was."
 The farmer said nothing but con- tinued his walk on the platform. As he came opposite the window again he remarked that their town had been experiencing some excite ment.
 "What's the matter ?" Stevens asked.
 "The authorities wouldn't let some folks bury a woman," replied the farmer.
 ''What was the reason for refus- ing?"
 "She wasn't dead," was the lacon- ic reply.
 And then he strolled away, leav- ing young Stevens biting his lip.

JUVENILE SHERLOCK HOLMES.

Bobby's mother had taken him to church to hear the evening ser- mon, and they occupied seats in the gallery, where there was more room than on the main floor. Bob- by tried not to allow his attention to wander from the preacher, but it did. He seemed to be particularly interested in a family who sat in front of him, and when the sermon was about half over he whispered to his mother:
 Mamma, I never saw these peo- pie before, but I know their name. ''
 Flush, dear"
 "But I do," persisted Bobby. FTheir names Hill"
 "How do you know?"
 'Every time the preacher says his text, T will lift up mine eyes unto the hills those two big girls look at each other and smile."
 Subsequent inquiry proved that Bobby was right in his guess.- Youths Companion.

TO PREVENT POTATO ROT.

The German government and the people who are interested in agricul- ture have been making exhaustive study and experiment in order to find prevention or cure of the po- tato rot, which has been serious and increasing for several years.
 AS to the result of investigation and experience, the following has been published by newspapers throughout the nation:
 ''The rotting is caused by the po- tato fungus. This fungus, if pres ent on some potatoes in the cellar, spreads to other potatoes and causes rot. A solution of one pound of chloride of lime dissolved in 25 gall Ions of water is used for washing the potatoes by means of a broom. They are then spread out to dry. Through this procedure the spores of the fungus are killed"

We print in full in this issue a proposed amendment to the consti- tuition of Arkansas, which has been introduced in the legislature by Representative w. E. Simpson of Washington county. This IS perhaps the most important meas ure which has thus far been present. ed to the general assembly and 1t should be carefully studied by everyone. One of the principal aims of the proposed amendment is to eliminate the illiterate negro from the polls, which has already been done in many southern states. We should be glad to see an edu- cational qualification for voting which would apply equally to whites and blacks, but the state IS perhaps not ready for this. In the meantime, anything tending to raise the standard of the elective franchise ought to be welcomed.

ALL WANT MORE.

'I want more," cries capital in enjoyment of the highest level of in- terest upon money invested in many years.
 q want more," cries the mer- chant as he pockets the highest prices for commodities.
 "I want more," cries the house. wife to her husband as she com- pares her allowance with the ad- vancing costs of living.
 "More,' ''more," everywhere the demand is for "more." Railroads want more money for extensions and equipment. Investors want more dividends, wage earners more wages, society more to spend on luxuries that are fast becoming necessities, colleges more endow- ments, and the government more ap- propriations.
 Where is ''more" coming om?- Wall Street Journal.

HIS BRILLIANT IDEA.

'Why is it." she asked shortly after the wedding, 'that you don't care to skate any more? You were so fond of it before we were mar ried."
 q wasn't fond of it, my dear. To tell you the truth, I made martyr of myself for your sake. I knew you enjoyed it so that I felt as if l had to-"
 "Thought I enjoyed it? Heav- ems, I was a martyr, too. thought if didn't go and be tortured you'd take some other girl, and"

Pope county has been torn up during the past few weeks over the proposal establishment of separ- ate court district at Atkins, in ad- dition to the one of Russellville, the present county seat. During the controversy Editor Livington of the Russellville CourierDemocrat and Editor Turner of the Atkins Chronicle lambasted each other through their columns in torrid English. The bill providing for the change was defeated by close vote in the house, with U. l.. Meade, one of Pope's representa- tives sitting on the fence and re- fusing to vote.

It is remarkable how soon we all forget our troubles. A few weeks ago, when the roads of Faulkner county were in many places aal- most impossible, concerted de mand arose for a better system and better methods of working the roads. Now that the season for actually doing the work is ap- preaching, the roads have begun to dry out, and we seldom hear a complaint.

either right or he is imposing on the people of Arkansas, and the Democrat would like to see this thing probed, and done in the open. If Donaghey has misrepre- sented the facts he should be shown no leniency and if his state ments are true, the other fellow should be shown up in his true colors. Several attempts have been made to explain this matter , but like "Banquo's Ghost" 1t will not down and the people will never be satisfied until there IS a thorough investigation and the contractors are vindioated or con- demned.-Casa Democrat.

Senate bill AZ, providing for the continuing of the Arkansas history commission and the publication ot the Arkansas historical assocla- tion, has passed ssthe senate. The bill provides for small approprla- tion to carry out the valuable work which has been so suspicious ly begun, and it ought to pass the house without a dissenting vote. The foundation for an accurate history of our great state has all ready been laid by our distinguish ed former citizen, Prof. J. H. Rey- holds of Fayetteville, who has spent four years of untiring and .unre- paid work delving into the sources of Arkansas records of the past. It the bill fails to become law 1t will mean the loss oi all this work. We feel sure that our representa- tive will supportsit.

The Arnold bill, which became a law last week, is an infinitely better good roads measure than the Montgomery convict bill. The former provides for the formation of improvement districts of the ter ritory adjacent to propose perma- nent road, which may be organ ized upon the petition of a major ity in value of the property own CTS affected, just as drainage and levee districts and municipal inn provement districts are now form ed. After the organization of the district, the contract for the road IS let, and the cost is paid in notes to be redeemed in annual install ments. It may be some years be- fore Faulkner property becomes sufficiently valuable for us to en- ploy the law, but it is a good one, nevertheless.
