Colonel J. B Trulock Tenderly Laid to Rest in Eternal Sleep in Beau tiful Bellwood Friday After.
 noon.

J. Burton Trulock, who died "Wednesday night at his home, No. 20 South Laurel street, was laid to rest in. sleep eternal in Beautiful BellWood cemetery Friday after noon at 4:3O o'clock. The obseques which were held from the family residence at o'clock were largely attended, the members of the Ell;s lodge and the J. Ed Murray Camp of Confederate Veterans attending in body. Colonel Trulock was buried in a suit of gray, peacefully resting in a metallic casket, bound in gray broadcloth.
 At the residence gathered large concourse of friends, business as- sociates and others. Short services were conducted by Dean Robottom of Little Rock.
 Borne by eight of his -close friends the casket of gray was car ried from the house to the hearse and the funeral party proceeded to Bellwood cemetery. The process ion was an unusually long one and was fitting testimonial of the es- teem in which the deceased was held by his many admirers and friends.
 After the casket was lowered, tender hands arranged the many flowers and when the last floral piece was set, a mound of flower $ completely covered the grave.
 A more generous, upright spirit never left it's frail tenement of clay and winged it's flight to better and purer world. He was earnest, chiv- alric, independent, and as honest as he was brave. He wore no mask all saw his noblest virtues and ad- mired them, saw his faults and forgave them, for he wore them openly on his breast, and was al ways and everywhere what he seem ed to be. Emulate his virtues and bury his frailties in oblivion.

BEFORE MAKING HIS
 MAIDEN SPEECH
Characteristic Letter From Jefferson [. Before He Jumped Head Over Heels Into the Chilly Waters
 of Senatorial Dignity"

Little Rock, Dec. l3.- One of the letters so characteristic of Senator Jeff Davis, written to a friend in Little Rock two days before he spoke on the trust bilh reached Little Rock this morn ing. It reads as follows:
 "I received your welcome letter of the 9th inst. and was indeed glad to hear from you. In fact, l would be glad to see an Arkan- sas dogs tail wag this way now. 1 have jumped head over heels into the chilly waters of seuator- ial dignity and custom, and the old members are looking rather crosseyed at me and 1 think they are framing up to give me the worst of it, but 1 will try to hold my own day after tomorrow. The newspap pers here have been kind to me, especially of the North and East, the Hearst papers, the Baltimore Sun and the New York Herald. I have prepared a skele- ton of my remarks and given 1t to the Associated Press, with the 'pizen' left out. I shall inject that on the floor. 1 will make a regular Arkansas stump speech and give the old members touch of high life. Most of the senators say l will have a packed gallery. If SC, 1 will be pleased. Senator Tillman very seriously and con- idently reminded me today that he hoped I would make good, but his tone indicated that he was not sincere.
 II will leave here on next Saturday and be home about Tuesday. Senator Clarke will leave, he tells me, about Tuesday week for home. We are abso- lutely dolug nothing, and I see no reason to hang around the hotel when you are dying 10 see home folks"

GOV. PINDALL
 BECOMES ACTIVE
Removes Members of the School for the Blind Governing Board Because of Their Friendship of Prof.
 Lucas, Now in Charge.

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-The fight over the superintendency of the state school for the blind is now on in earnest. Prof. T. A. Futrall has resigned and Prof. s. D. Lucas is in charge of the in- stitution. Four members of the State Board of Charities were yesterday afternoon removed by Acting Governor Pindall; four partisans of Prof. Futrall have been appointed and 1t is thought the friends of Prof. Futrall on the new board will endeavor to have Prof. Lucas removed by charges of incompetercy, with trial before the Futrall board, and the reappointment of Prof. Futrall.
 The attorneys of Prof. Lucas say the law is plainly on their side, and as Prof. Futrall is no longer in charge, he N Il not be unless the Supreme court places him there. They also say that the members of the new board, if such is permitted 10 stand, will not dare to trump up such un- reasonable charges against their client.
 The action of Governor Pindall followed a consultation with Prof. Lucas and ex-Governor Dan Jones, his attorney. The re- moval of the board memb bers was only in line with Governor Pin dalls expressed determination several months ago. The board members removed are E. l.. Mat lock, Van Bureu; T. J. William son, Mt. Olive; c. E. Cruce, Nor rilton and Joe l.. Davis, Mag. nolia. James l.. Yates, state treasurer and president of the board, who is also a Lucas partI- san, would have been removed also if his position was not secure by law. The new appoin,ees are Wallace Bruce, Fort Smith; AL mira Flennikeu, Eidorado; A. $. Hays, Russelyllle and E.. c. Par sons, Malvern.

Labor.savlna Impolltsness.

We wish some record had been pre- served of the time saved by changing from the old-fashioned profound in- clination of the head toward the earth perhaps itself a labor-saving i'm. provement on an earlier ceremonial of greeting in which the forehead was brought. oriental fashion, in actual contact with the foor-to the modern brisk nod. We wish there were sta tistics to show how much time man. kind has gained in cutting courtesy down from paragraphs to grunts. We doubt whether all the yaunted econo- mics of laborsaving machinery have equsled those of labor-saving impolite ness.

could not help knowing that l was singing well, and felt a fine exhila- ration in the surroundings.
 Mr. and Mrs. Logan were facing me and did not see what saw as l started on the last stanza. A young man walked from the shadow of the fir tree to the office. He lifted his finger in warning 10 me, and pro- ceeded with the singing as though nothing had happened, but watched him narrowly, although l could not believe that he meant harm when acting so openly. He stood still in the shadow of the office until I finished.
 There was silence for a moment, then Mrs. Logan arose in a be- wildered way, tossed her arms wildly and moaned, not loud but with searching, penetrating voice: o where is my boy tonight?'
 "The figure in the shadow cried aloud the words: here am mother She turned as Logan and 1 sprang to our feet. Tommy, Tommy, she murmered, as the strong young fellow folded her in filial embrace. Logan said as severely as possible: Young man, do you know that you are wanted by the grand jury?' Yes, father, but the song 1 just heard and mothers heart-breaking vail determined me to stand my trial and pay the penalty like man. 1 was skulking near the house in order to get provisions to keep me until after the court would adjourn. Now, I will stay here tonight, and tomorrow I will go to town and plead guilty. Then 1 shall never gamble again, please God
 Amen said the father, and the son added: Mother, you will never again have to ask in earnest, where is my boy tonight. !"
