TWAS IN 'TATER TIME.
One Thing, at Least, the Mother Was
 Positive About.

The late Senator Platt of Connec- ticut enjoyed funny stories and could tell a good many himself. Notwith- standing his long public life. he al- ways remembered a yarn that he car ried from his school days.
 One year when the district schools opened in his town one of the teach CTS. in making a record of the ages of her pupils, as required by law, found that one little girl, who came from a family not noted for being especially bright, was unable to say when her birthday came.
 So in order to complete her records. the teacher walked two miles to see the girls mother one afternoon after school Asked if she could remem- Der just when her daughter was born. the woman thought for some little time, and then with a sort of pug zled look, said:
 Well, the gal was born in 'tater time. that's sure, but l can't member whether they was a-piantin' on 'em or a-diggin' on 'em."

Three clerks are busy at the state auditors office filling in the names of Confederate pensioners, who will prob. ably receive their warrants about the middle of the month. It is not believed that the disbursement of the fund will be held up by Auditor Moore, in view of the recent construction that Acting Governor Pindall has placed on the matter and his promise to the state officials to remove all penalties which they may incur if the fund is expended Between eight and nine thousand warrants are to be filled in with names, amounts and the work entails considerable labor. One extra clerk is aiding the regular staff of the auditors office.

My wife was taken badly with ecze- ma fer three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is en- tirely recovered.

The calendar of Surreme Court cases has been completed by Supreme Court Clerk English, and notifications have been sent to the attorneys of the State informing them of the date the court will convene, namely on Sep tember 30. The calendar is within six months of the date of filing, sit uation almost without precedent in the history of the court. In past years 1t has been necessary for cases filed for appeal in the Supreme Court to be docketed for hearing two and pos sibly three years ahead. The court has gained on the cases rapidly in the past. few years, and it is now pos sible to file a case the latter part of July and have it called in February. The calendar this term will be light, the number of cases to be heard being considerably less than at the last sit- ting. MT. Justice Riddick, who has been in Minnesota for three weeks, has returned to Little Rock.

Bid Loss In Cotton.

According to a summary compiled by Commissioner Tucker from the county crop reports that were recent ly published there will be a big loss in the cotton crop for 1907 over last year. The decrease will amount to nearly 30 per cent, the figures for the present year being 70.1 per cent of 1906. Arkansas last year pro- duced 1000 bales, estimated. The approximate output this year will be 59,641 bales. To make the latter total conditions from now until the staple is picked must be normal, the weather must be favorable for good develop ment, and no further insect damage or the early visitation of heavy frost. A cold spring, reduction of the acreage and other evils, such as boil weevil and heavy rains, are respon- sible for the poor showing of the Arkansas crop. Other states have nearly all suffered the same troubles, and the cotton crop as whole in the Southern States will be materially less than last year.

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
 Cooking.

A little boy down in N. c. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam fly.
 She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says:
 They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so we'll that when re- turned home began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly.
 My little IS months old baby short ly after being weaned was very i'll with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried every thing. She became so emaciated that 1t was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in little warm milk.
 Well, it worked like charm and she began taking it regularly and i'm provement set in at once. She is now getting we'll and round and fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts.
 Sometime ago several of the family were stricken with LaGrippe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of fdod but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated us.
 We all appreciate what your fa- nous food has done for our family" There's Reason" Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
 NobIeman Had Never Tried.

The earl of Surrey, afterward elev- enth duke of Norfolk, who was mo- torious gourmand and hard drinker and a leading member of the Beef steak club, was so far from cleanly in his person that his servants used to avail themselves of his fits of drunken ness-which were pretty frequent, by the way-for the purpose of wash ing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corpse and performed the needful ablutions.
 He was equally notorious for his horror of clean linen. One day, on his complaining to Dudley North at his club that he had become a per feet martyr to rheumatism and tried every possible remedy without suc- cess the latter wittily replied:
 Pray, my lord, did you ever try a clean shirt?"

Must Pay For Furnishing Passes.

The State of Arkansas won its suits in the Pulaski Circuit Court against the St Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company, and obtained judgment for $10,000. The cases were brought by Lewis Rhoton, as prosecuting attorney, it being charged the company violated the law by furnishing senators and representa- tives in the legislature of 1905 with free transportation. The Company filed demurers to the complaints and attacked the constitutionality of the act that makes it unlawful for railroad companies to furnish free transporta- tion to officers. The cases were argued before Judge E. w. Winfield. The State was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton and the railroad company by T. M. Mehaffy, general counsel After ti.e argument the court overruled the demurers and gave judgment in each of the five cases for the maximum penalty of $10,00O. The money goes into the general fund Of Pulaski county. Before judgment was announced the defendant elected to stand on the demurrer. The Arkansas constitution of 1874 provides that the legislature shall prohibit railroad com panies fro mfurnishing free transpor- tatton to any legislative or judicial officer of the State. In 1887 the leg islature passed an act making it unlawful for railroad company to fur nish free transportation to any such officer and fixed maximum penalty of $2,000. The same legislature also made it misdemeanor for any such officer to accept or use free railroad transportation and fixed the penalty at fine and removal from office.
