Surprised on Her Birthday.

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. A.
Leforce, at the corner of Delaware
avenue and Ilrewer street, became
suddenly quite alive yesterday morn
ing about IL o'clock, as friends began
pouring in and taking possession Of
things. The good lady, so little given
to taken thought for her own cele-
bration, was aroused to the fact that
this was her birthday and that her
friends had decided that she should
not forget it. They had come prepar-
ed. being laden with bushels OF pro,
vision and an abundance Of forest foli-
age and crysanthemums. In short
time walls and tables were handsome
" decorated, and the tables groaned
to be unburdened; and as the feast
was tempting, the relief came soon.
1t was happy day. Mrs. Leforce re-
ceived some handsome presents and
good wishes. Among
present we're:
Mrs. Lucy Keyes, Mrs. Lizzie Athey,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Leforce, Mrs. Ma
~ Balentine, Misses Mary and Ellen
Balentine, Mrs. C. J. Taylor and
and Mrs. Samuel Leforce.

Arkansas State Fair.

Little Rock, Sept. 17.-Special The coming state fair at Hot springs is attracting the atten- tion of thepeoplefro all sections of the state and the interest men of f.prominence are taking in the meet is remarkable. Just before leaving for Lincoln county yes terday afternoon Governor Pin dall was asked regarding his opinion of the Fair in reply to which he said:
 The State Fair at Hot Springs is an Arkansas industry; it's in auguration and maintenance is the outcome of ArkansaS's de- velopment; it's purposeis to place on exhibition samples of Arkan- sass products; it's continuation should be more encouraged be cause it is a necessity in the task of properly proclaiming and ex hibiting to the public the re- sources of our great and growing state. Neither Arkansas nor any other state can afford to keep it's light under bushel Great ex- hibitiOns of national importance | find as their reason for their ex- istance the mission they perform in exhibiting resources. Busy, hurrying human life is impress ed with what it sees on the way and as it sees, the lesson of use fitness of resources is learned. Local exhibitions under the au- spices of the several State Com mercial bodies have proved the usefulness of and have eXempli- fled that which we claim for the Arkansas Fair. The fact that Arkansas has within her borders such enterprising and progres- sive men as those who have in augurated and are developing such industries as the State Fair should be source of great grati tication to Arkansas and every true citizen Of the state should feel a source of pride in and en- courage it."

Senate Journal Nearly Completed

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The proceedings of the Senate of the recent General Assembly is in type and all the proof of the copy has been read by the Senate Journal Committee except a DOT tion of the last days proceedings. The committee expects to read this part of the proof today, which will complete it's work.
 The committee, which is com posed of Senators Carlock, Hami- ter and Harrison, has been en- gagged in the preparation of the Senate Journalaboutfour months. Much of the work of copying the journal for the printer was done by George H. Trevathan, secre- tary of the Senate, at his home in Batesville.
 The journal when printed will make vOlumn of from 800 to 600 pages. It was expected that the report of the joint committee appointed to investigate matters relating to Reconstruction of the new state capitol would be made a part of the Senate journal, but this was found to be unnecessa4 ", as the report is contained in proceedings of the house, in which the resolution authorizing the appointment of the committee originated. This report is in it. self bulky volume and has al ready been printed.
 The bound volumes of the pro- ceedings of both Senate and house will probably be delivered to the secretary of state within the next 50 days

 We suppose it is generally known that in times of imminent danger the old snake opens it's mouth and the little young ones run in for protection. But, in this instance it was of no avail.
 This is true story, vouched for by w. E. Sutton, and MT. Neimeyer has Mr. Roberts as a witness of the wholesale des- tructionof this family ofserpents.
 The "Hee Flaw Man" may note that this was on the next day af ter Friday the thirteenth.

Laneburg- Sutton, Sept. l6.- Weather fine. Real autumn is here and it makes us feel better.
 Health moderately good. Some few cases of chills.
 Cotton picking is in full sway this week.

Direct evidence Of the return Of the
same individual bird Of migrating
species to a particular spot season
after season Is not easily obtainable,
bat N. C. Beers believes that he has
such evidence concerning chipping
sparrow at Lakewood. N. j.. says the
Youths Companion. A few years ago
he heard little bird concealed in the
top OF maple uttering a peculiar
song which he could not recognize.
The next season he heard the same
peculiar song in a tree but a few
yards from the original point. This
time he identified the bird, which
seemed to have learned a song Of Its
own. The third year he did not visit
Lakewood at the proper season to
meet his little friend. but the fourth
year he heard and saw it again near
the same spot. 1t appeared always to
make its summer home in the trees
on an area not more than two acres in
extent.

"Out Of style and out Of the world.
Is q common viewpoint OF women, and
It may be Milwaukee as she has
watched New York and Chicago and
other cities boring under their streets
and establishing subways, has felt
the same way. for she is busy at the
present time perfecting a system Of
tunnels New York's subways were
constructed for passenger train serv-
ice, those Of Chicago primarily as tele-
phone and electric light eonduits, and
later for the transportation Of freight,
and now Milwaukee comes into line
with her tunnels for the purpose Of
supply ttg steam from a central plant
for the heating Of the big buildings Of
the city.
Already two miles Of the tunneling
has been perfected. The tunnels are
under the principal downtown streets.
On the west side there is about $500
feet Of tunnel. and on the east side
somewhat less. OF trenches there Is
abouteone mile on the west side and
two ON the east The tunnels and
trenches underlie or pass through the
streets. It will be seen that the vest
side system OF tunnels passes under
the street from the northwestern cor
ner Of the Public Service building at
Third and Sycamore streets. and from
there goes north and east, being inter-
sected at the cross streets by other
extensions. The largest stretch Of
straight tunnel is that on Second
street from West Water to Clybourn
streets.
East of the river the tunnels are
served by the Oneida street power
plant and pass under the road from
the south or Oneida street side Of that
building. The largest stretch Of tun-
mel on the system is on this side Of
the river and runs under Market and
East Water streets from Biddle to
Michigan streets.
Branching from this system Of tun-
nels is a system Of trenches. they be-
ing used where the volume Of bust
ness is not sufficient to call for large
tunnels The tunnels are used. not
merely to transport steam to build
ings on the streets under which they
pass, but to carry the big feeder pipes
to the smaller and more outlying sec
tions which are served by smaller
pipes buried in the trenches.

The position Of the angels Is not mate
rally changed. but the lines OF con-
tour are. The hair and expression are
different. but there is no question OF
sex In them. They are angels, and
could not make them mere men.
Aside from the artistic impossible
ity Of making a brawny. muscular
figure for such purpose, It would,
to my mind, be sacrilegious.
AS the angels now stand recut,
they are to me neither men nor
women-they are but angels. I don't
know what they may be to others.
The figures are changed, OF course,
but they are by no means the figures
Of men. In recutting them | kept my
mind on the idea that they must be
strong, powerful angels. not gentle.
sympathetic. heavenly figures. Per
haps IL is the power that / wished
to impart in the recutting and new
designing that marks them and
stamps them with a more masculine
form"
