other day a man was looking for q
certain patented article and tried five
arugstores in turn in the same neigh
oorhood before he was successful Nat
uraily in the stores where he failed,
the offer of something just good
was made, but that wasn't the thing
lhat hit him hardest.
In the second store the druggist
said Il did have that stuff in stock.
put | never had any call for it, The
only people who ever asked for it were
the agents of the company, and they
were around here all the time to see
II we had it in stock. So I gave it up"
In the next store, block away. the
druggist said. Yes. I did keep that
once. but when I ran sout of the first
supply | never could get the company
TO send any more. I was looking out
TOT the wagon all the time. but for
three weeks at a time they never sent
It up here, so I got tired of waiting.
Now | don't keep it
You can tie them. but you can't beat
them.

Human Hair Elastic

A single hair; which can support a
weight of two ounces, is so elastic that
it may be stretched one-third of its en-
tire length and then regain its former
size and condition. according to the st.
Louis Dispatch.
DIR. Pincus has measured the growth
of hair by cutting off circles about one
inch in diameter from the heads of
healthy men. and so comparing the
growth of the patches with that of the
rest of the hair. He found that the
growth rate generally became slower
after cutting; that in some cases the
hair on the patches grew at the same
rate as the rest. but that it never grew
any faster
The ordinary length of the hair on
the head ranges between % inches and
about 40 inches. the latter being con-
sidered unusually long. It has been
calculated that the hair of the beard
grows at the rate of one line and half
a week. This will give a length of six
and a half inches in the course of a
year.

 Will Senator Jeff Davis meet Prosecuting Attorney Rhot II Saturday night in Argenta, or not? is the chief topic of con versation on the streets at this time. Since the quick getaway at Perryville, on Monday of this week, on the part of the Senator there has been a rumOr to the effect that be will cut the Ar genta date Saturday night, and not meet MT. Rhoton. On the other hand his friends assert he will meet Mr. Rhoton, from the fact that earlier in the campaign he invited the prosecuting attor ney to meet him in Argenta, for the purpose Of discussing the difference between them, face to face.
 Argenta, unlike Little Rock, is supposed to support Senate" Davis in almost anything he goes after.
