NO BIG DEFICIT LIKELY
The Board of Commission
Well Satisfied With Pres
ent Conditions.

The Board Of Penitentiary Commits
sioners adjourned yesterday after
noon after having been in session at
the prison two days. All the mem
bers We're present and those residing
in other parts Of the Territory re-
turned to their homes last night and
today.
Much important business of a rou
tine nature was transacted at the
meeting. The most important matter
however, was the presentment of a
report by Superintendent Marion Lit
trell of the probable gross receipts
and probable amount of disbursements
for the next three months or until
the end of the present fiscal year
This report shows that Superintendent
Littrell is making determined effort
to have "both ends meet" instead of
having a large deficit at the end of
the year, which seemed inevitable
when he assumed charge OF the prison

To Proceed With Improvements.
The commissioners authorized the
superintendent to go ahead with re.
pairs and improvements that are
necessary and for which funds are
available. They also authorized him
to sell certain old junk in the prison
yard.
The inventory filed by Superntend-
ent Littrell was received but no &C,
tion will be taken on it until ex-Su
perintendent Arthur Trelford submits
a like document.
The board refused to allow r. c.
Garrett, assistant superintendent to
draw two salaries, one of $1OO month
as assistant superintendent and anoth'
er of $50 a month as brick expert at
the prison. The legality OF such pay
ment was referred to the attorney gen.
eral for an opinion and pending this
the salary as brick expert was held up.
Everything was found to be moving
satisfactorily at the prison under the
careful management Of Superlntend'
ent Littrell and his assistants.

IMPORTANT 70 THE FARMER

The importance of instruction in agriculture is becoming more and more apparent in the South A new law to authorize the teaching of elementary agriculture in the public schools is now in effect in this state It shonld and will be supplemented at the next legis- lature by an agricultural school for Ar kansas. We can not afford to remain in the back ground in these matters.
 President Soule, of the new state agriculture college of Georgia, an- nounces that that he will hold ten days cotton school next January. Such topics as the study of cotton soils, dis crimination in fertilizers, rotation of crops, care and selection of seed, etc, will be taken under consideration. Now, it is true we still have those who are inclined to make fun of the book farmer, but the coming farmer of the world is the book farmer. If Arkan- sas needs anything today it is the right kind of book farmers. It is quite pos sible by improved methods to add $10,- 900, 000 in value to the cotton crop in Arkansas. Is an instruction and in formation to bring about this increase worth anything to the state? Then again, the cotton crop is only one crop. There is great need for the right kind of an agricultural school in Arkansas and we will have it.

 She replies: Somebody has stolen my slipper. I cannot walk"
 Then they carry her. chair and All, into the middle of the room, while a loud knocking announces gro tssque, ragged vendor of boots and shoes.

Few Ely O. Eait Africa.

The new fly of East Africa, describ. ed W. Donitz as Cordylobia murium, was discovered by Dr. Robert Koch as parasites in the skin of rats suspected of plague. Flies matched from the mag gots in just one month. It is supposed that the eggs are laid in the earth and that the larvae attached themselves to the parts of the rats touching the ground. Larvae of another fly of the same genus are found in boils of rail road builders in Guinea.

TO GET MEALY POTATOES.
Must Be Boiled and Looked After In
Proper Manner.

Potatoes, to boil we'll together,
should be as nearly equal In size as
possible. Wash off the mold and
scrub them very clean with a hard
brush, but neither scoop or apply a
knife to them in any way; even to
clear the eyes.
Rinse them well and arrange com.
pactly In a saucepan so that they may
not lie loose in the water and that a
small quantity may suffice to cover
them.
Pour this in cold and wien 1t boils
throw in about a teaspoonful of salt
to the quart and simmer the potatoes
until they are nearly done; the last
two or three minutes let them boil
rapidly; when quite tender, which
may be known by probing them with
a fork, pour all the water from them
and lift the lid of the saucepan to al
low the steam to escape: place on a
trivet high yer the fire or by the
side of it until the moisture is quite
evaporated; peel and send to the
table as quickly as possible. Irish
families always prefer them served
in their skins.

For the invalid or the woman whd

the mos delectable OF French matt

The four points made by these Sits

MADE A NEW FASHION.
Good Joke Played In Old Days on
Would-Be Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
a good story OF a trick played by a
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
Of Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, OF the proud humor which IL
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
to be made. John brakes, a shoe
iAAker, coming to this tailor's and see
Ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
lame price and pattern and make 1t
OF the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and ~perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have 1t made of the self-same
fashion that yours Is made Of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make i'll" John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear 1t. Perceiving the same to be
full of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, 'for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have l made yours" by my
latchet!" quoth John brakes, Il will
never wear gentlemen's fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.
