stood aghast when William K. Van

Bernard M. Stanley, of this city,

Ormond, Fla. Even that record paled
into insignihcance, when on January

made the mile on the same course IN
20 Is seconds. The record stands at
those figures today.

however, has never been accepted OFF,

a bicycle behind motor pace was l min

In the first place, we boil them with steam; in the second place, we give them eight diff ferent waters, overcoming the sOapy smell you have from washerwomen; in the third place, if a garment is missing you have recourse, while in nine cases out of ten if anything is short from the washerwoman they say nothing for fear of losing her; fourth, prices are such that it is as cheap to have them done by us; sixth, if it rains it is the same, you get your washing; seventh, you don't have to worry about your washwoman not be- ing after your linen; eighth, we are prepared with our new machines to turn out 50,000 pieces a day, and, as we have gone to this expense, we feel that the people of Pine Bluff will give us a trial, and if your work is not , satisfactory it costs you nothing.

STOWAWAY SHOWED
 HEAD TOO SOON

New York, Aug. 26.-When the President Grant of the Hamburg American line sailed from Hamburg 10 days ago Christian Boerja, 19- year-old gardener from Frankfort, was safely slowed away in No. lifeboat on the port side. During the voyage Christian remained snug in his berth and lived on the rations of biscuit and water which a thoughtful government insists must be carried in the boats.
 Unfortunately, on Monday morning the stowaWay put his head out from under the boat covering to get whiff of fresh air. He was seen by Fourth Officer Funk and now Christian will be deported on the President Grant when she sails for Hamburg next Saturday.
