The father and several neighbors ran up and found that the boy had turned his chin upward and the churn could not De removed. The upturned bottom of the churn finally had to be sawed oft before the child could be released, and the little chap emerged from his unique head covering almost dead from fright.

GOV. LITTLE NOW
 IN HIS HOME
But Ghost of Former Self, Broken in Health, the States Chief Execu- tive Is Again Among His
 Friends in Greenwood.

Greenwood, May 2l.-BToken in health, his mind affected by the long, severe strain, Governor John $. Little returned to Arkan- sas yesterday evening and went to his home in this city, the ghost of his former self and consider ably weaker than when he left for Texas. Few people were here to greet the returning exec utive, but those who saw the shodow of John s. Little could hardly recognize the man who had left Greenwood to become governor of the state of Arkansas.
 Governor Little arrived over the Frisco Railroad from San An tonic. Owing to the fact that the Frisco does not go through Greenwood, the train was stop ped at Jenson, small station l2 miles from Green wood on the main line. At this point the train was met by two carriages, one of them for the governor and his party and the other containing Jasse Jones, mayer of Green wood, and two or three other prominent citizens of this city. The governor was assisted into the carriage by Drs. Hailey and Putnam, and despite his pallor and ieebleness, he greeted his friends with a smile and told them he was glad to get back.
 At the door of his home Gov erner Little was met by his two daug ghters, whom he has not seen since he left for Corpus Christi, aud the greeting was very pathet- ic. The governors feebleness was such that 1t was necessary to carry him up the steps at his home, the long ride on the train having exhausted him completely.

MlIady,s eath.

It Is said there Is but one carbonic acid bath in New York. and it is in the home of a very rich widow. The apparatus as described is complicated and expensive. The acid is allowed to escape from stout metal cylinders. where it is stored under pressure. and mixed with the bath water. The eff feet upon the skin is highly stimulat ing, Such bath leaves a feeling Of great freshness. The widow was ad. vised to visit Nauheim several years ago for a heart disorder, the waters at that celebrated German village be ing naturally efferyesceut and strong ly carhonated. She dared not under. take the ocean voyage. and the arti leial Nauheim was installed in her home.

NO PARDON FOR PISTOL ToTER.' J
The Governor Also Indicates His Policy
 Regarding Liquor Law.

Little Rock, May 23.-Acting Governor Pindall yesterday re- fused to grant petition for the pardon of Bert Freeman, con victed recently in the Prairie cir cult court on the charge of carry ing a pistol and fined $50. The following was endorsed on the petition: "The facts herein, while persuasive, do not rebut the proof admitted that Freeman in fact had the pistol and unlaw- fully, so the pardon must be denied"
 The governor also laid down his policy in the matter of par dons for the crime of selling liquor without a license. II. C. Westmoreland of Marion county, convicted of this offeuse, and sentenced to two years imprisor. ment, has served more than a year, but the governor would not countenance the illegal traffic by entending to him executive elem. ency. His action IS endorsed by the best people of the state.

CoTT0NsEED OIL AS FOOD PRODUCT
High Authority Talks Against Adulter-
 ation and Patent Names.

Norfolk, Va, May 2. A twc- hour address by Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of the De- partmeut of Agriculture, was the feature of today's session of the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' Association, iu eleventh annual convention here. Dr. Wiley's subject was "A Great Name is Rather 10 Be Chosen Than Great Riches" He dwelt at length up- on the harm 10 the cottonseed ir- dnstry that is worked by adulter- atiou and by the use of patent names. He referred to the value of the simple name ''cottonseed oil, ]" and urged upon the crushers to do away with the patent designation and use the original. He spent some time discussing the commercial value of the pro- duct, and advocated purity of proportions witnout exception. He declared ic to be great food product.

ARKANSAS FRUIT
 CROP } MILLIONS
John P. Logan Sees Prosperity Ahead This Year for Fruit Growers Here Because of Shortage in
 Other Sections.
Prom the fiazette.

From the taZette.
 John P. Logan of Granuiss, secretary of the Arkansas State Horticultural Society, does not share the pessimism expressed in some quarters regarding the fruit outlook for the year in Arkansas.
 He says that while the cold weather and frosts have damaged the crop in some sections, Arkan. sas will still have fruit to ship by the trainload to Illinois, Mis- souri, Kansas and Northern states where the crop will be next to a total failure. MT. Logan is con- fident that with the advance in price which will follow short crops in other states Arkansas fruit will bring growers $3,00o,- 900 this year.
 "There is oue thing that every loyal citizens of Arkansas should be proud of" says Mir. Logan iu discussing the matter for the Gazette, "and that is her fruit, and the fruit growers of Arkan- sas are especially proud of the product this year. The cold spring and frosts have blasted the apples and peaches in Mis- souri, and the peaches in Texas, but the fastidious fruit eaters of the United States will not have to go without fruit, for Arkansas will supply them.
 "Benton and Washington coun. ties have fair crop of peaches, while the Van Buren district will ship at least 750 cars of the luscious Elberta, and this year a new peach raising district will share the honors with Van Bureu.
 "The country along the Kansas City Southern railroad, including tue shipping points from Meua south, Hatfield, Cove, Hatton, Granniss. De Queen and Horatio, will ship at least 400 cars, ard judging from the quality of tue fruit that was sent to me for ex- hibitiou at he worlds fair, l can safely say that they will equal that of peaches raised anywhere. While Arkansas will ship 1 peaches by the trainload, at the same time the shortuess of the crop in other states will cause it to bring good prices, and 1t is a safe estimate to say that the peach crop of Arkansas alone will bring a million dollars to tte fruit growers of the state.
 "rhe apple belt will have a good crop, aud while some varieties are little shy, there will be fair crop and the pros- poets are tor good prices. /"
