But, alas, she nearly always found
The chair occupied by the large dog.
Being afraid Of the dog, she never
dared bid 1t harshly to get out OF the
chair, as she feared that IL might bite
her. but instead she would go to the
window and call eats
Then the dog would rush to the
window and bark, and the old lady
would slip into the vacant chair
quietly.
zone day the dog entered the room
and found the old lady In possession Of
the chair. he strolled over 10 the win
dow and, looking out appeared much
excited and set up tremendous bark

AL men are equal in Gods sight.
There is no black. and there IL no whits.
There is no high, and there is no low;
There is no friend and there Is no foe.

The petty distinctions OF rank and caste

Has stilled the heartbeats and Rtopped

And The fires Of hell burn Just as bright
For the rich or poor, for the black or

But one day he picked up crystal which glinted brightly in the sunshine and seemed to hold the light more than any other he had noticed. He took It home to add to his collection. Rub bing it against another crystal he mo- ticed that 1t cut 1t. He then decided to take the stone to Murfreesboro and get some other persons opinion on It. MT. Huddleston rode muleback toward Murfreeboro. Possessed now with the Idea that the crystals on his land were valuable. he kept his eyes on the ground as he .rode, along. Passing through one of his fields his eyes caught a glint of reflected sunshine from a pebble in the dirt Dismount- ing. he picked 1t up and proceeded on his way.
 Eventually he showed it to Judge J. c. Pinntx, who. finding that it. cut a watch crystal like a glass cutter. ad- vised him to send it to Little Rock. The specimens were sent there and thence to New York, where experts de- clared they wete diamonds.
 Dr. Henry & Washington, of New York, visited the Huddleston place, but in the meantime eighteen othor diamonds had been found. making twenty-one. After a careful investiga- ton. covering several weeks, pr. Wash- lngton gave 1t as his opinio3 that the company formed by Little Rock men had included all of the diamond bear ing area in their purchase.
 Since that time systematic effort has been made to locate the crater pipe chimney or tube. as 1t Is variously called. Diamonds are formel by the specialization of carbon and are brought to the surface of the earth by volcanic action By this upheaval a tube or chimney Is forced through the rock and the diamonds are found in the blue clay which Is then deposit- ed.
 In the original upheaval several dia- monds were forced to or nearly to the surface of the pipe. and it was these surface stones that were first found bv MT. HuddIeston and others. They were freed from the mother earth by the erosion of the blue clay by ex- posture of the elements for hundreds or thousands of years.
 core drill was put in and by its use the crater and its dimensions were ascertained Diamonds to the num- Der of 140 have already been round even with the inadequate machinery Most of these have been on on near the surface, and three or four have been found by pan washing, though on- ly the crudest method of working has yet been pursued.
 When work was systematically begun Colonel Theodore Hartman. of Little Rock, was selected as manager, ana he went down to devise an economical method of developing. He has made the best find. He picked up stone which weighed four and half carats. Flaw les blue white gem.
 John Peay of Little Rock, had sim liar luck. While overseeing his men he picked up superb canary diamond weighing one and half carats, flaw less and so perfect in shape that little cutting will be requiged to make ir a marketable gem.
