SEES FLYING SQUIRRELS.
Portent Moves Hunter to Repeat and
Sign Pledge.

Poptown, O.-Sandy Andrews has
signed the pledge, and henceforth will
be found sitting close by the side of
the driver on the water wagon. 1t all
came about when he went hunting for
squirrels the other morning.
Recollecting that it would be cool
sitting in the woods at dawn waiting
for the squirrels to pop out of their
holes in the chestnut trees, Sandy
took with him a flask of anti-chill.
He consumed a large part CT it and
was gazing up through the branches
when he caught sight of a squirrel.
He was about to fire when the animal
leaped straight out into the air and
began to fly among the trees in a
most graceful way.
The hunter was astounded. He had
never heard of squirrels flying and he
doubted his eyes.
Two more squirrels came out, and
they, too, started to fly. Then more
kept coming.
"This is no place for me-" cried
Sandy, as he picked up his gun and
hurried home. 1--WE seen many
things in my life, but when I behold
flying squirrels it's time to indorse the
prohibition movement"

WHISTLES TO sooTHE SNAKE.
Native Naturalist Advises How TO. Dis

Nashville, Tenn.-AnyboGy who can
whistle need not fear a ~rattlesnalle, is
the dictum of JOIN T. Shelton. Q.
Petersburg, Tenn.
Nobody in Petersburg has ever tried
whistling in any emergency of the
kind, but even Naturalist John Bur-
roughs would not be able to convince
them that it would be a dangerous
%expedient.
Jack" Shelton is a man of authority
in those parts. He carries a gun to
back up any statements that may be
contradicted, and therefore no one has
ever successfully combated him or
found him guilty of a mature fake"
Consequently when he dropped into
the office of his town paper, the editor
evidently gave him all the space he
needed to enunciate his ideas on the
application of the whistle to the
RATHER.
Should you ever encounter a rattle
snake" said Shelton, and it was all
put in cold type forthwith, don't you
be afraid. Don't fight him. Just
whistle softly-ever so softly-just as
though you were rocking a baby to
sleep-something pathetic, if you can
think Of it. In a minute you'll see the
gentlest snake possible. He'll close
his eyes and his whole body will
culver.

at the interurban station and in 3(
minutes 1000 persons surrounded the
building. Cars were stoned as they
started out. At other parts of the
city cars were stopped and the strike
breakers were driven off. Two car!

THE COLORED

The teachers who are in attend ance at the county institute at Mer- Till school are doing some very good work, judging from the subject mat ter handled each day.
 Spelling recitation, conducted by MT. Brownlee, in the afternoon ses- sion was full of interest. especially the dealing with the roots of words. and the great value of the early teach ing of di9critical markings.
 Reading, one of the essentials of the old schoolmasters' course, was handled to marked degree of excel fence by M~ West, who stated that the children of modern school days were lacking in this great branch of the public school course.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
 IS THIS SUGGESTION

Editor Graphic:
 1t seems to me that if the Board of Trade, the Arkansaw Travellers and others who have so interested them selves in getting conventions to come to Pine Bluff would spend some of the same energy in getting factories established, instead of the everlasting howl about hard times and idle peo- pie, prosperity every day would be the rule This letter is written to call attention to the fact that canning factory has been built and paid for. Now for lack of capital will lie idle and $25,000 worth of beans, peas and tomatoes that have been contracted for and raised by the small farmer are rotting and those who raised this truck in good faith will be ruined. It is a disgrace to Pine Bluff and to the everlasting shame of the men of means to allow such thing to hap pen. Is there a man in the confines of this city who can or will take hold of this project and save 1t from lying idle this season?

Schlenker had retired and hearing the door slam, he grabbed his revolver and though partially asleep, he ran towards the front door, firing his pis- tol as he ran. Hearing Mrs Schlenker scream from fright occa- stoned by her husbands actions, MT Reinach ran back to the house and as he was coming up the front steps he received a deadly bullet. His death was instant. The bullet went out the front door as Mrs. Schlenker hurried from the house in fear The friends of the two principals in the sad affair are still confident that it was an ac- cident. MT. Schlenker was crazed with grief for many days. He has not fully recovered from the shock.
 Mr. Schlenker declared after the tragedy that he thought burglars were in the house and hearing his wife scream fired at the object on the front porch, little believing that it was that of his most beloved acquaintance.

The tragedy is be- ing thoroughly investigated and many witnesses have been subpoenaed to testify before the inquisitorial body.
 It was supposed that he case had been closed, MT. Schlenker having been acquitted by coroner's jury at 8 hearing held several days after the tragedy. New features have develop ed in the case, it is said, and the States attorney declares that he has evidence that warrants a more con- p1ete airing of the case.
