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

The earl of Surrey, afterward elev- enth duke of Norfolk, who was a mo- torious gourmand and hard drlnKer and a leading member of the Beer- 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 or "ash- ing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corpse and performed the needful aplutlohs.
 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 trleo every possible remedy without sue cess the latter wittily replied:
 Pray, my lord, did you ever try a clean shirt?"

Supreme Court Calendar.

The calendar of Supreme 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 Toe docketed for hearing two and pos ssibly three years ahead. The court has gained on the cases rapidly ln the past few years, and it Is now pos sible to file case the latter part or 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.

Of Little Faith.

At the Pine Grove camp ground in Canaan, Conn.,, a little girl was re- moved by her mother for disobedience and being naughty to her playmates. The child was told that when she said her prayers at night she should seek forgiveness and ask the Lord to help her be a better girl. Here is the prayer which the youngster made un- der protest:
 "Oh, Lord, want you to help me to mind my mamma, to help me to be a better girl, to help me to be good to my playmates, to-but, pshaw. Lord. what's the use? I 'spect you don't believe half I'm saying"

Auditor Draws Warrants.

Auditor Moore has settled the mat ter of the position he would take in regard to the expenditure of the com mon school fund by drawing warrants as they are asked. In relation to the Confederate pension fund he will, in all probability, do likewise. but he has made no statement, preferring to meet the situation as it comes to him. The statement of Acting Cover nor Pindall relieved both the auda' tor and the state treasurer from all liability that they would incur in cash ing the warrants.

Penitentiary Board In Session.

Following the agitation of the bad flour which it is alleged has been in use in the penitentiary, the board, which is now in session, has ordered all bad four to be destroyed, and new supply purchased. After the flour question had been disposed of the board took up the matter of the education of the inmates of the reform school. By the statute, passed at the last session of the legislature creating the reform school, it was provided that the boys and girls confined should receive three months education each year. It was the belief of some of the board members that the school should be established immediately and Secretary of State Ludwig answered the objections of the oppo- nents of the plan who contended 1t is alleged, that for the balance of the year the inmates would be required to work and go to school later. The dis cussion was long on this proposition, but finally was settled by the unan1- nous vote of the members in the appointment of l.. Perry as special instructor of the school at salary of $50 per month. MT. Perry's name was placed before the board because of his qualifications for the post, hay ing been employed in the reform school at Nashville, Tenn. The appoint ment was made at the suggestion Of Superintendent Chestnut. Dr. R. l.. Russell, present penitentiary physl- clan, was appointed physician of the reform school and will receive S25 per month as salary for the additional duties. The board passed upon the awarding of the contracts for supplies for the month of September and adjourned to meet in special session September 12, when the retention to his position of the superintendent of cooks, the lighting of the reform school with electricity and the con- sideration of the parole of several prisoners will be acted upon.
 Big Loss In Cotton.
 According to summary compiled by Commissioner Tucker from the county crop reports that were recent ly published there will be 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 941 ,000 bales, estimated. The approximate output this year will be 659,641 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 a 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.

Action Caused Speculation.

The action of the State Charities Board in adjourning without vote on the matter of resembling the former vote by which E. c. Lucas was ap- pointed superintendent of the Blind School, has caused considerable dis cusslon at the state house. Prof. Futrall will hold office as superinten- dent until October 1, when he is SUD- posed to retire, and MT. Lucas to suc- ceed him. As the board now stands, there are three members who are for Prof. F>utrall, and four for MT. Lucas. J. c. Williamson, who holds the balance of power, is desirous or removing to Texas, and has demand ed of Acting Governor Pindall, it is said, the right to name his successor on the board, which Governor Pm dall absolutely refuses to do.

Williamson, in the event Of not be- ing able to designate his successor on the board has stated, it is said, that he will remain in Arkansas so that the present controlling majority may be retained in power
