STILWELL PARK
 BILL PASSES

Dr. w. P. Parks today received telegram from Senator George Legate at Little Rock, saying that the bill allowing Mena to convey the Stilwell park property had passed both houses. It will be remembered that this property could not be deeded to the Kan sas City Southern Hospital asso- citation on account of its being given to the city by the Townsite Company, under terms that would not allow a sale being made or transferring it. This now removes that feature and Mena is prepared to talk business with the Hospital Association and as soon as they are ready to go ahead with their building they can do so.

THE GOFF CASE DISMISSED.
The Federal Court Holds That Road Was
 Not Legally Established.

The case in Federal court against Mir. Golf, living just north of town, was up for trial yesterday morning at Fort Smith. The judge in dismissing the case said:
 "The order of the county judge creating the public road across the Golf homestead leading to the Abercrombie and Kelly home stead, was not in compliance with tue law and was not worth the paper 1t was written on; that Golf had a right to keep anybody from crossing his land, except on a public road legally laid out, and before he can be guilty of obstructiug a public road the order creating it must be so clear as to place him on notice where the road was located"
 He further stated that nobody could read that record, locate and tell where that road was and in- structed the jury to return a verdict Of not guilty and the case was dismissed.
 The following were witnesses in the case from Meua:
 Judge w. Prickett, w. w. Whitley, Civil Engineer Robert son, Mrs. J. s. England, Mrs. M. E. Abercrombie, Orval Jacobs, Hugh Kelly, Ray Abercrombie, w. N. Martin, O. $. Moore Mrs. l.. c. Acruman and others.

The Sleeping Baby Smile"

It is interesting to see how old Is the maternal delusion about the smil Ing of babies in their sleep. All chil dren, asleep, are taken with a catch ing of the corners of the mouth which IS as unlike as possible to the real smile-the humorous and de lightful little silent sketch of a laugh appearing first at any age between a fortnight and month. Yet hu- man sentimentality has insisted on calling the sleeping grimace (due to fiatulence) smile, and even a smile caused by dreams of angels. And Saint Monica must have been as un. intelligible on this point as any other matron, for Saint Augustine, review. ing in his Confessions the growth of his own mind, mentions that ho had been told of the coming of infan. tine smiles. having appeared pre-. viously to sleep" Thackeray echoes St. Monica, for he shows us Amelia sitting by her child, who was smil. ing in his sleep" No baby ever smiled in his sleep yet, or Is ever likely to do so.
