Soap in Center of Sponge.

Within the passage is a fastening de-
vice to hold the sponge intact after
the soap has been placed in the cavity.
1t will be obvious that there Is no
necessity of rubbing soap over the
sponge to secure soapsuds, as the soap
within the cavity will insure contin-
uous supply, the suds working to the
outside of the sponge through the
pores. Besides being useful as toilet
sponge, the Device would also be found
advantageous for all cleaning pur'
noses,

yes, sir"
you have been coming here two
evenings a week for tbs last three or
four months"
Yes, sir. Yes, I have been coming
here two evenings a week"
And our friends are beginning to
p1e two and two together
Yes, sir"
II mean by that that they think it
time I asked your intentions toward
LGcille.'
MY intentions!" exclaimed Harold
in surprise.
Yes, sir. If you are in love with
my daughter and wish to marry
her"
Miss Lucille is an admirable young
lady, sir, but / must say that had no
intentions, as you call them. I might
have later on, but up to the present
time l have simply thought of her as a
most charming young lady"
Then let me ask why you have
called so regularity"
why, to play poker with you, sir.
Some evenings l. have never even
caught sight of your daughter. 1t was
your suggestion the first time l called
that we play poker, and we have kept
it up ever since, and am about $50
out of pocket"
ooh, l see," observed the father
after a moment, and he led the way
into the library and proceeded to beat
the young man out of another weeks
salary.

GIRL NOT THE ATTRACTION.
Young Man Claimed Other Reason for
Regular Calls.

On this occasion, when shown into
the parlor, the young man did not find
Lucille waiting for him as usual, and
after five minutes had passed and he
was beginning to wonder, her father
appeared and said:
Harold, wish to have q word with
you this evening"

Set in Her WAY.

Dot took her city cousin out to the

The toSn Is the center Of your com.
munity. From it radiates your rural
mail service; in it center your tele-
phone systems On the streets Of the
town you meet your neighbors Satur-
day afternoons and exchange news
and experience. You go to it for day
of recreation when the snow comes,
the fair, or on holidays.
There during the winter lecture
course you hear great orators and ex-
cellent musicians. The political rallies.
the church conference or association
are held there.
By and by in the pretty little vii
lage church, whose spire you can see
from your farm, you son will preach
the gospel In the brick building two
doors from the corner, farmer boy
will open a law Office, and in the little
frame two blocks away another son
of the SOIL just back from college, will
begin the practice of medicine,
There is the high school to which
you send your children, and there
after awhile your daughter will teach.
And some day when you find the
farm work too heavy for your age, and
want to get near the children, you will
build on that grassy corner lot two
doors from the Methodist church and
move to town.
Yes, the town is mighty good
! thing to have, a pleasant thing; and
the more you put into it the more you
get out of it. For it grows according
to the trade it gets and the more it
grows the more it can buy and the
higher will go your land.
A good town, you know, where there
is plenty of work for carpenters and
bricklayers, and masons and smiths,
work for everybody at good wages, Is
worth ten times as much to the sur
| rounding country as the little sun
burned village where the carpenter
and the "storekeeper" play marbles in
the streets.
The Moral obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why 1t is right that the country PEG
pie spend their money at home is the
moral obligation.
The town is yours, yours to ruin o.
prosper. The same sense of obliga
ton should prompt you to support 1t
as prompted our old Teutonic ances
tors in the forests of Germany tt
stand elbow to elbow in protection o
their village. The same spirit Of loyal
ty should inspire you as fired thu
Highland Scot to spend his blood TO
the welfare of his clan.
The country town with all it's fault

Bears at alternating Time.

Many bears that hibernate dig into
a hillside to find nest. but for a
mild winter they are likely to roll up
in some shallow excavation or Dol
low tree.

ALI, SURVEY WORK
 HAS BEEN FINISHED
Work Will Now Proceed on Macadam Road in Road District No. 1-TO
 Rush the Work.

The preliminary work on the sur vey of Road Improvemnt District No. 1 has been completed, and the macadam work will begin in day or so, possibly Monday. Three men have been at work surveying for the past month or six weeks, and they have done the work in a very short time.
 The first part of the road which will be macadamized is the part just south of the work now being done by the government, little south of the city limits on the the Pine Bluff, Star City and Corners vile road. The work will be com pleted from that place to the resi- dence of A. o. Edwards, distance of about two miles, before the work will be commenced on the other part of the road. The stone and crushed rock for this work has been in this city for some time, and new cars filled with it are lined up and down Fourth avenue.
 The large bin just across from the Union Station, which Judge Gould was given permission by the city council last Monday night to erect, will be constructed in very few days. It will be used in storing the crushed rock and stone. Cars can if this way be unloaded with more ease, and the wagons loaded quicker.
 City Engineer w. J. Parkes has received an official copy of all the orders of the United States court at Little Rock in the matter of the suit between the city of Pine Bluff anc the Pine Bluff Light and Water company. The maps, as drawn bA Engineer Edward Fladd, have als( been received by the city officials and Major Parkes inspected then so as to be sure concerning thu places where the water compan! will extend their mains and othel details of the work. The work oI the new plant of the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company, in the western part of the city has beer started, and the ground will be broken in a few days. The lot is in order for the work to commence and when it is started in earnest

SIDEWALK NOTICES
 ARE BEING SERVED

- Mayor w. l.. Toney Friday and Saturday served notices on all prop erty owners on West Second, West Sixth and West Fifth avenues in front of whose property there are no sidewalks. The work on the con- struction of these sidewalks will be begun soon, unless the interested parties let contracts for the work in the meantime.
 Notices will be served on those who have sidewalks but not of the proper kind as soon as the work on these have been completed. Mayor Toney thought that sidewalks should be laid where there are none at all first, and then that the other places should be supplied with them.

They VIII Make n Showing Against
Senator Borall.

Federal Judge Whitson, VIII is pre-
siding at the trial Of United States
senator William Y. Borah, al Boise.
Idaho. notified the prosecution Mon~
day that the case had reached the
point where some testimony connect
ing the defendant on trial with the al
legged Idaho land fraud conspiracy
must be presented. The attorneys for
the government, acting on this sug-
gestion, said they would offer in evil
dence Tuesday the records Of the
county clerks office, showing that
scores Of timber deeds had been ad-
nitted to record az the request Of Sem
ator Rorah.
Judge whitson's notification 10 the
prosecution came at the conclusion OF
the testimony of the governments two
most important witnesses.
The trial went on Monday after
noon after abandonment of the morn
ing session because OF the illness OF
Of the jurors.
TIL testimony again had TO do large
~ with the actions Of former Gov.
Steunenberg in land dealings. Attor-
ney Hawley protested against wit
nesses being allowed TO give converse
tons with Steunenberg. He said they
had no bearing on senator Boraha
case and tended only TO "blacken the
memory of a man who cannot IN
swer."
The l~iveliest interest Of the day was
when l.. G. Chapman, general manal,eT
of the Barber Lumber company. vas
called to the stand as a government
witness. Mr.. Chapman brought many
books and correspondence which the
government desired. but refused point
blank to produce the company's &C
count books showing the amounts paid
for timber lands and to whom.
