tons committee Mr.. Clark holds a
place second to no Democrat, except
John Sharp Williams, leader of the
minority, who Is a prospective can
didate for speaker of the house.
"A member Of congress is a pretty
busy man." said Mr.. Clark, 'if he
amounts to anything. have worked
on a farm, clerked in a country store,
edited a newspaper. conducted a law
business and been a member Of the
Missouri legislature, but my expert
ence is that none of them, except the
Missouri legislature, afford as siren
uous life as term in congress. For
instance, l get on an average forty
letters a day from my constituents,
every one of which has to receive at
tention. Three fourths Of them can
be answered by my clerk without an
noyance to me, the others, however,
require my personal attention. The
committees of congress meet at 10
O'Clock in the morning and to be of
any use on them a member has to pro-
vide himself with a lot of special in
formation, which requires time and
study.
Among the greatest committees of
congress are the ways and means, the
appropriations, the judiciary and in
terstate and foreign commerce There
are occasions when other committees
are of great Importance, but they are
not permanently 50, circumstances
giving them a temporary prominence.
The army and navy committee at
times receive national attention, but,
ordinarily, they affect the interests of
the people far less than those | have
mentioned.
Il believe that in fifty years the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee will overshadow all others in
its Importance and that its duties will
require the best efforts OF the biggest
men in the country. Our Internal and
oversee commerce is growing at an
astonishing rate and is destined to
lead all others. The work of con-
gressman is increasing from year to
year and the burdens of such an office
grow heavier all the time. For in
stance, the organization of the patriot
ic societies like the Daughters Of the
Revolution, the Colonial Danes and
many others in which membership i'm
pinges on the candidate being able to
trace her geneology back to the Rev.
olutionary war, has added to the woes
of a congressman. He receives scores
of letters every year asking that the
government records be examined to
ascertain whether any of the ancestors
Of the applicant fought in the struggle
for Independence in order that the
open sesame may be had to these Or
ganizations. While these petitions are
Of no consequence to the general pub
lie they are OF real Importance to the
applicant and must be attended to II
the congressman desires to continue
in public life. They take up lots OF
his time but in spite Of that they can
not be ignored.

PINE TREE BREAD.
KAMSCHATkANS USE THE INNER
 BARK OF PINE TREES.
Macerate 1t in Water and Bake Good, Wholesome Bread-The Pine Keeps the Blood Pure and
 The Body Healthy.

In Kamschatka the people live in earth-covered pits. MT. Kennan com pares the sound of their language to that of water running out of a narrow mouth jug. Their bread is made from the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace rated in water and baked without flour. They are a hardy race, the Pine keep ing the blood pure and the various or gans of the body in a healthy condi- them.
 A noted specialist in throat and lung trouble, who established camp for consumptives in the Pine Woods of Maine, and whose remarkable cures there have attracted great attention half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine mixed with two ounces of Gly- cerine and one-half pint of good Whis- ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will heal and strengthen the lungs, break up cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients can be secured from any prescription druggist at small cost.
 Inquiry at the prescription depart ment of a leading local druggist elicit ed the information that the Pure Vir- gin Oil of Pine is put up only in half ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in round wooden case, with engraved wrapper, showing the name-Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) guaranteed under the Food and Drug act, June 30, 1906 Prepared only by the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O. plainly printed thereon. There are many rank limitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), which are being put out under various names, such as Con- centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never accept these as substi- tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably produce nausea and never effect the desired results.

Columbus Cunnitubby, a full-blood- ed Choctaw, probably is the oldest Indian in the United States. He is be- lieved to have passed his one hundred and fourteenth year.

Even now his mind is clear, but he is so feeble that he can not talk more than two or three min utes at time. He has g children and 109 grandchildren.

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec
 ognize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev enue of the pope before the separa- tion of church and state in France was the toll or tax on titles of nobility and decorations. Since the rupture the French government no longer rec ognizes the ennobling titles and dec orations of the holy father. To have the right to wear the Vatican ribbon, or to be called count, it was necessary to obtain a confirmation of title. This gave much perplexity to the candi- dates.
 The question has just been settled Queen Wilhelmina has consented to validate such titles and distinctions. The result has been an amusing pill grimage to The Hague-and also in an increase in the price of these pom tifical favors.
 In the last few weeks the French Knights of the Golden Spur, of the Holy Sepulcher of Christ, of Gregory the Great, of Plus TX. have greatly in creased.
 The revelations regarding fraudu- lent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof E. F. Ladd, state commis- sioner. have occasioned almost as much of sensation as the exposure of adulteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked Pure White Lead" often contain other substances such as chalk, barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so- called White Leads" contain not an iota of genuine White Lead.
 The farmer is large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their con- tents. That would enable every paint buyer to buy intelligently.

Whole Acre Lifted Out of Place.

Propelled by some force beneath the surface, an entire acre of ground near Underwood farm, seven miles from Danville, has been raised and is now from six inches to two feet above the level of the surrounding land. Formerly the land was on a level with the land surrounding 1t. The change took place in single night Farmers
 nthe vicinity claim that last Satur- 1ssyI night they heard strange noise as of cyclone, but could not account for the noise until it was discovered that this acre of ground had been raised from level with the surround ing land.
 There is no one here who can ac- count for the peculiar phenomenon, but it is the belief of many that it was caused by gas. At the end of the raised land there is clear break, and the land is several inches higher than the land immediately adjoining it. To ward the center of the acre the land is about two feet higher than near the edge. Hundreds of persons living in the vicinity have visited the scene in the last few days, but no one is able to give an explanation for the peculiar condition. Many fear that the lifting of this acre means that an extinct volcano has broken loose and fear that other sections of land in the vicinity will be lifted out of place.
 For Killing Negro Child.
 w. l.. Honeycutt, Bob Moss and Jim Hester, white men, were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the Lonoke Circuit Court and sentenced to 12 hours in the penitentiary. The three men were charged with kill ing negro child. It was alleged that son of Honeycutt became involved in an altercation with John Lewis, a negro, and that on the following night the three men armed themselves and, going to the home of the negro, de- handed admittance. The negro being frightened, refused to admit them and threatened to shoot if they did not leave. It was alleged that the de- fendants then shot into the house, hitting the baby which was sleeping on the floor beside it's mother The men denied any connection with the shooting.
