THE SYSTEM AT THE BAsrrLE

We drove for some time, and being
perfectly acquainted with the streets
of Paris, said to the officer. ''You are
not taking me towards my hotel" He
replied: yes; little distance from
it." Then I asked: eff a prisoner, and
you are going to confine me, won't you
allow my servant to wait upon me with
my linen, and where are you going to
carry me?" He assured me that I
should want for nothing and would
soon know where [ was being taken.
The coach stopping, the officer called
out loudly: "Put down the bridge by
order of his majesty the king" The
truth then dawned upon my bewilder-
ed mind that I was to be confined in
that horrible prison known as the
Bastile. After passing three bridges
We drove into a courtyard. Leaving
the coach I was led into large room
wei furnished. The officer took the
commandant aside, then retired, wish
ing me a good night. The latter rang
a bell and a man dressed like a cook,
in white flannel waistcoat, a large
apron in front and a white cap over
his hair, entered. He proceeded to
search me, and took away every arti-
Gle on my person. Meanwhile ". st.
Sauveur, the lieutenant governor of
the Bastiie, entered and ordered the
man to prepare my room in the fourth
story up. Then the commandant whis-
pered something to him and wished
me good night, as also the governor.
I then followed my guard, the cook,
who took me across the court OF the
Bastile, through a large door. and up

TWO LICENSES ARE
ISSUED TO We'd
SAME YOUNG LADY

Another matrimonial romance de-
veloped yesterday at the court house
when a marriage license was granted
to certain couple.
1t appears that some weeks ago a
license to wed was granted to young
man of this county who desired to
contract marriage with a--young lady
also Of this section. There was moth
ing thought of the matter at the time
and the weeks have slowly passed by,
but the minister's returns were never
made on that license.
Yesterday young man applied for
license which was granted and the
paper that means so much happiness
to some folks was issued and no more
notice taken of the transaction than
of any other ordinary license.
But the romance in the matter came
to light when Deputy Clerk Chambers
went to index the record and this
couples names had to be entered in
the index. The index showed that a
license to wed had been issued to
another man and lady of identically
the same name and age as the lady in
this case.
Whether it is case of simply du-
plicated names or means romance
Deputy Clerk Chambers could not say,
but he does say that he is inclined to
believe it is the same lady and that
she has changed her mind as to the
man.

EDITOR MAY GO TO JAIL

twenty of the most famous gambling
palaces in the United States have
been forced to close their doors, eight
thriving pool rooms, where hundreds
gambled daily, on ponies galloping in
all parts Of the United States, have
been driven out, two race tracks put
out of commission and numerous other
reforms effected. OF the two tracks,
Essex park was forced into bank
ruptcy, while Oaklawn, Dan Stuart's
famous half-million dollar plant, has
been turned to more legitimate uses
as the headquarters Of the Arkansas
State Fair association.
R. o. Schaefer, the youthful editor
of the Daily Bulletin, who is largely
responsible for the accomplishment
of these reforms, is but 20 years of
age, and appears even younger That
he has the courage of his convictions
is shown by the fact that once before
he went to jail, editing his paper
from behind the bars, rather than pay
a fine imposed for contempt of court.
