RATHER A POINTED REBuKE.
Ministers Amendment to Usua! Grace
 Fitted Circumstances.

A Pennsylvania divine formed one of a house-party in Philadelphia where the younger son, in accordance with what the clergyman observed to be his constant habit, as soon as he had seated himself at breakfast inn mediately possessed himself of large slice of bread, the quality of which he proceeded to test by liberal mouth full.
 The minister, stickler in such mat. ters of propriety, gazed blandly at him for moment or so; then he fold ed his hands and closed his eyes in preparation for grace.

ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw-suf. fered Untold Misery-Perfect
 Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

My son, who is now twenty-two yeears of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema was some thing terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. l used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend leased me to try Cuticura. At last decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold misery. began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905."

State Was Wrongly Rated.

Guy Tucker, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, has giv- en out statement in which he cor rected the rating given the State of Arkansas at the recent meeting of the Southern Commissioners of Agricul- ture held at Birmingham, Ala, in re- gard to the amount of cotton that was produced by Arkansas during the past year. MT. Tucker states that this State was rated at the convention as having raised 95O,000 bales of cot ton. Instead of that amount, he says that it is his belief that the amount can not possibly exceed 100000 bales, and he does not believe that it will exceed $50, ,000 bales. MT. Tucker stat ed that he did not give any such sta tistics to the commissioners and does not want it understood that he gave out those figures. The State of Ark ansas last year raised S9o,O00 bales of cotton

State Capital Notes
State Charity Board.

Much business has been transacted by the State Board of Charitable h. stitutiens since it went into session Monday morning. The contract for the erection of the contagious ward at the State Blind School was let to Domican Krah for s2,625, with the un- derstanding the contractor file bond for similar amount to satisfactorily do the work. The heating contract was let to the Pump and Pipe Company for S453. The pay roll for the month of November was allowed, with the ex- .ception of S125, the salary of Profes- sor Futrall, which is being held in abeyanee. After being held up for a month, on the grounds the bill was ex- horbitant, the state penitentiary bill for electricity furnished the insane asy- lum was ordered paid. Allowing a week of holiday at the Deaf Mute h. stitute and the State School for the Blind, resolution was passed, also one appropriating p cents per capita to be expended for Christmas presents for the inmates of the Deaf Mute In stitute, the superintendent of the school to purchase the presents.

For School Improvement.

That Arkansas is to keep abreast of the educational movement is indicated in the newest feature in the develop ment of the general program for edu- cational betterment being worked out under the direction of the department of education. This feature is the es- tablishment of school improvement as- sociations As is well known, the school improvement association and it's auxiliaries in this city, as well as in other cities, have proven one of the most efficient stimulators in school progress. Perhaps no single element of organized effort has been more beneficial. Realizing this fact, the de- partment has undertaken the spread of the school improvement association endeavor, and the results are begin ming to be seen. Already several or the towns throughout the State have organized associations, and others are to be organized at an early date.

To Remove Penitentiary.

That the State penitentiarg should be removed to the State farm was the attitude taken by Governor R,ndall at the recent meeting of the Vd, and is the unqualified opiniC | IT State executive as to the pr,. EIf1 e''e tion of the State penal institG~ in discussing the matter Governor doin- dall expresses the belief that with the establishing of the various enterprises now on foot, the location of an experi- ment station and the development of an experiment farm, the erecting and maintaining of a bagging plant, and the introduction of kindred enterprises, the question of What shall be done with the convict? will solve itself. There will then be use for all the con victs at the farm, and of course the penitentiary should then be located at that point, for convenience in handling the prisoners. In fact there would, if all eonivcts could be given employ ment at the farm, be no occasion for having the penal institution at the State Capital.

made known to us our origin and des- tiny and the means of attaining it.
 He has brought not only light to our intellects, but also peace to our hearts. that peace which springs from the knowledge of the truth and the hope of the eternal life.
 He has given benediction to, the home by proclaiming the unity, sanc- tity and the indissolubility of mar riage. The wife is no longer the slave, but the partner of her husband; she is no longer tenant at will. but the mistress of her household; she is no longer confronted by usurping rival. but she is the undisputed queen of the domestic kingdom.
 The aged poor are no longer at the mercy of heartless masters. They are not cast aside like a worn-out machine. Their life is sacred like that of in- fants, and they are comfortably pro- vided for in institutions now spread throughout Christendom.
 The tender and compassionate spirit of Christ has caused orphan asylums and hospitals to spring up and bloom in every land There is no phase of human misery and suffering that does not find solace and relief in these es- tablishments.
 Human slavery has, at last, melted away before the effulgent rays of the gospel. To borrow with a slight para phrase the words of distinguished writer, we can say with truth that slave stands redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled as soon as he plants his foot on the sacred soil of Christen- dom.
 The gospel proclaims the dignity of labor Judged by it's standard, every honest employment is honorable. how menal soever it may be.
 Christianity has been a peacemaker to the nations. By her beneficent in- fuence she has made wars far less frequent than they used to be under pagan regime.
 Let us not grow weary Of the salu- tary restraints of Christian life. Let us not cast wistful glances toward Egypt, from whose bonds we have been rescued, nor long for its flesh pots. Let us glory in our Christian heritage; and, above all, let us not be guilty of the mockery of leading pagan lives while making profession of Christianity, recalling to mind what the apostle said to our gentle fore fathers: "Ye were once darkness: but now light in the Lord. Walk as the children of light"

HAD NO DOUBT OF HIS FATE.
Mir. Jerome Evidently Was Aware of
 His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife of Judge Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost heyseopk, and since she had no osher Ifsodrce she rolled up her sleeves and for week provided such meals as the judge had not enjoyed since those happy days when the Blanks did not keep a cook The judges delight was so great that by way of appreciative acknowl- edgment he presented Mrs. Blank with beautiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally, the incident was good deal noised about among the social acquaintances of the Blanks and a spirit of envious emulation was de- veloped in certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited the story to her husband. "What do get, Jerry?" she asked, If l will do the cooking for a week?" 'Well," said Mir Jerome, "at the end of a week, my dear, you'll get one of those long crepe veils. San Francisco Argonaut.

The first of these orders states that all passen- ger trains shall run on time, with cer- tain designated exceptions. The second relates to accommodations at depots and on passenger trains. An important section of the second order is that conductors of passenger trains shall furnish every passenger with seat.

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on erape-Nuts.

The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly.
 Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system.

How He Did It.

Early in the morning session, when the pupils were feeling bright and happy, the teacher thought it good plan to give them sentences to cor. rect, both as to grammar and sense. She accordingly wrote on the black board:
 "The hen has four legs. He done it."
 Thoughtful little Ignatius, at the foot of the class, pondered deeply, and at the end of 15 minutes time, allowed for correction, he wrote:

G1 and yet we knOW nm as we know a familiar friend of yesterday. From his features not one line is lack ing. His flower like childhood, the purity of his youth, the majesty and beauty of his increasing manhood, the atmosphere of character that he car ried-all, all are fully known. Stand ing on the hilltop, we look down upon populous valley holding in its lap shining towns and cities, and from the mount we look down across the career of Jesus, bright with parables, spark ling with deeds of mercy, glorious with wonder words and works. Once none so little but that Jesus was less in honor; HOW, none so exalted as singer, scientist, reformer, artist, poet, but that he seeks to borrow new fame by linking his name with one whose star has climbed zenithward into a solitary pre-eminence.
 In the republic every citizen is one eighty-millionth of a king. In the civ ilization of to-day every leader who has conquered the love of the genera tion he has served is one fraction of the Christ life, and has borrowed his inspiration and ideal from the carpen- ter's Son. More wonderful than all else is his unfolding perfection. In general perfection means the purga- tion of imperfections. Slowly some Thorwaldsen rubs off speck of mar ble dust here and sandpapers the mi mute roughness there. Slowly, with here stroke and there stroke, the artist carries his canvas toward ideal beauty With infinite ensures and in- terlineations the poet polishes his per feet verse. Success is the residuum left after a thousand artistic failures.
 With God it is otherwise. All his sweetbriar has to do is to unron. So it was with Jesus He unfolded each faculty as a rose it's petals. Lo, there was nothing to be added, and nothing to be taken away. And yet he grew in wisdom. By experience, by work, by travel, and conversation he gath cred knowledge about the fields, the woods, the sea, the sky, about men, tools and events. Also, what we never would have dared to say the word of God says. His memorabilia declare he grew in favor with God" Gods confidence and love were increasing events, marching steadily toward the day when the voice was heard whis- pering, Thou art my Beloved Son. in whom I am well pleased" And this message falling on the inner ear was the bliss of his solitude and the re- ward of his work.

No spring rises higher than it's source. and Mary the singer explains the sweetness of the song.

Board Approves Watkins Action.

The Confederate Home Board met Thursday in regular monthly business. Besides transacting business of routine nature, the board approved the action of the Executive Committee in dis missing from the Confederate Home James N. Ferguson. The board also sustained w NJ. Watkins, superinten- dent of the home, in his dealings with Ferguson. The latter was alleged to have been insubordinate and to have aroused Watkins to such an extent that the latter struck him, with the result that the superintendent was fined in court for striking Ferguson. the lat ter having taken the case into court. Ferguson was afterward dismissed from the home, where he had been an inmate for two years. It was report ed to the board that the home was in the best of shape, with a member ship of about 80 or 100.
