MAY KILL CATTLE
 TO KILL THE TICKS.

Gravette, April 11.-Dr. Frye, cattle inspector of Fayetteville, was i'll the city few days since arranging to thoroughly cover this section with deputies, as we'll as the entire Washington and Benton counties in great effort to eradicate the Texas fev- CT tick, which is said to be we'll scattered over the entire two counties. He will appoint depu- ties in each and every township to take up the matter at once. Dr. Frye left the impression that he was armed with the authority to order stock killed unless the owner was willing to cooperate and rid their cattle of ticks and use such preparations as neees- sary to kill them. The contagion is said 10 have been introduced here q year ago when cattle from the Territory were unloaded at the Frisco depot and transferred to the K. (. ..S. There is quar- antine against the Territory on West. but none against Missouri. therefore shippers did and have several times taken the Territory cattle to Dodge, 1. T.. and came across the corner of Missouri via Southwest City, entering Arkan- sas by way of Missouri.
 \ number of cattle died in this section to be deputied last year, said to be from the Texas fever, however many scoffed at the idea. To what extremes the officers will carry matters Is to be yet learned.

MARY Was ObIioina.

The Dundee Advertiser tells a
story Of a country cleric, still on the
undcrside of forty, who was driving
home along road from an outlying
hamlet when he overlook a young
woman. He recognized her as
Mary, the maid Of all work at a
farm which he would pass on his
way to the rectory, so he pulled up
and offered her lift. Mary was
nothing loath, and the parson was
glad of her company. All the way
to the farm gate they chatted pleas
artly, as country people do, and
when her destination was reached
he set her down. Then she thanked
him for his kindness and his COM
pany. Don't mention it, Mary
don't mention it," he said politely
as he pulled the rug around his
knees and gathered up the roins.
''No, | won't" answered Mary in
an obliging tone, and the young rec
tor went on his way thoughtfully.

MEETING A LION.
Gorsed With Food, His Afrlean Maj
esty Showed No Fight.

That the lion is not always the
tearing, roaring, wildly ferocious
beast of legendary description may
be seen from the following story,
told by member of hunting ex-
petition sent to Africa to secure
animals for a menagerie:
81 was returning to our camp
after Sunday mornings visit to
the settlement, totally unprepared
to capture, and we never kill except
when forced to do so in self de
Tense. | had just topped a long in
cline and was walking my pony
when on coming around corner of
the road hidden by some trees
saw seventy yards in front of me,
basking in the sun on an open patch
of burned Grass, a magnificent full
grown lio. The sun was not strong,
and he was very, very lazily Ticking
his tail from side to side. He had
a short name, and his eyes were a
lovely amber red in the weak sun
light.
my first sensation was one of as
constituent, profound amazemcnt
and delight at seeing such a fine
beast. He was beauty, and it
seemed impossible to realize that he
was really wild as he lay on his side
looking at me with his head raised
as dog does when he hears his
masters footsteps He was as fat
as butter, sleek coated and glossy.
MY pony, as the breeze was COM
ing from the other direction, did
not mind him and went steadily on
without so much as pricking up his
ears. My dog was walking on in
front about ten yards and luckily
did not notice him. 1t was not UNI

| did within twenty yards, that / re-
allied that if the lion took it into
his head to fancy bit of white man

right.
'Aftcr | had proceeded some $50
yards the lion got up leisurely and
followed along the read behind me,
but after going about 100 yards he
turned into the bush at the side of
the road.
'The truth of the situation was
that his majesty had just gorged
himself, and a lion will not attack
unless hungry or wounded. This
condition saved my dog, for lions

CRUEL PUNIsHMENTs.
Sentences Imposed on Offenders BY the
Old Colonial Courts,

Alice Morse Earle instances in a
book on ''Punishments of Bvgone
Days solae of the picturesque but
often crue, sentences of the colonial
court.
In colonial days hog stealing was
considered one of the most serious
of crimes. At the first otfense the
thief's ears were slit, and at the sec
ond his ears were nailed to a pill
Tory, and at the third he suffered
death without benefit of clergy"
Deceitful bakers and careless fish
dealers had to close their ears"
while he who spoke detracting words
had his tongue bored by bodkin.
A Frenchman travelling in Ameri-
ca in 1900 describes the ducking
stool as pleasant mode" of pun
ishing scolding woman. He says:
"Of members We tonge is worst
or beste. And yll tonge oft doth
breede unreste worthe a ducking
stoole."
In 1886 Thomas Hartley of Vir-
ginia wrote of his witnessing the
! execution of ducking stool SEN
tence:
''Day before yesterday, at two of
We Clock, | saw this punishment
given to one Betsy Walker, who by
we violence of her tonge made her
house and her neighborhood uncom-

this Summer. Ye Woman was al
lowed to go under We water for We
space of p minute. Betsy had a
stout stomache and would not yield
until she had been under five times.
Then she cried piteously. Then
they drew back We Machine, united
We Ropes and let her walk home, a
hopefully penitent woman"
I 1t seems strange to read that al
most within the memory of persons
still living Mrs. Annie Royal was
, sentenced in Washington to be
ducked for writing vituperative
books. She terrorized the town by
editing paul Pry" paper. Even
John Quincy Adams pronounced her
a virago, and she was arraigned as
a common scold. Mrs. Royal was
sentenced to be ducked in the Poto-
mac, but afterward released on pay
ing a fine.
