CLEARING HOUSE
 OFFER REFUSED

The offer of the Pine Bluff Clearing House and the local banks to cash the May scrip issued by the city for S2 1-2 cents On the dollar has so far met with refusal. Five employees of the city have cashed their scrip aggre- gating about $270, but the remainder think that the discount is too much and have decided to hold their war rants indefinitely. No further steps have been taken by the Finance Con- mittee. The police say that they thought the offer of the Clearing House would be eighty-five cents on the dollar. The scrip was taken by the Cotton Belt bank on a quotation of S2 1-2 and each bank of the city was to take it's pro rata. A campaign of economy in civic administration was to be started and it was thought that the city's financial affairs were fairly strengthened. The refusal of the city's employees yesterday to ac- cept the offer of the Clearing House leaves the condition of the city as before. So far, however, Chief Stew art has persuaded the men to remain though many are in urgent need of their scrip.

The Crafty Brother.

4 man had two sons. The elder was virtuous and dutiful. the younger wick Cd and crafty. When the father was about to de, he called them before him and said: T have only two things Of value-my herd of camels and my blessing. How shall I allot themT'
 "Give to me-" said the younger son thy blessing, for 1t may reform me The camels should be sure to sell and squander the money"
 The elder. disgusting his joy, sah that he would try to be content with the camels and pious mind. It was % arranged, and the man died. Then the wicked younger son went before the cadi and said: Behold, my brother has defrauded me of my lawful her itage. He is so bad that our father, as is well known denied him his blessing Is 1t likely that he gave him the cam els?"
 So the elder brother was compelled to give up the herd and was soundly bastinadoed for his rapaclty.

Advantaees of Madness.

The truth is, fear. that madness Aas q great advantage over san.i!
 Sanity is always careless. Madness l: always careful. There Is great dea' of falsehood in the notion that trut! must necessarily prevail. There is this falsehood to start with-that if maD has got the truth he Is generally happy And if he is happy he Is generally lazy. The incessant activity, the exas yerated intelligence, generally belong 10 those who are little wrong and just little right. The whole advan tage of those who think that Bacon wrote Shakespeare, says Gilbert J. Chesterton, writing in the Illustrated London News, lies simply in the fact that they care whether Bacon wrote Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage of those who do not think it lies in the fact that they do not care about 1t. The sane man who is sane enough te Dee that Shakespeare wrote Shake speare is the man who is sane enouSh Aot to worry whether he did or not

They Wouldn't Salute.

Black Jack Percival. who was na. val captain in the old days, once brought cargo of Spanish jacks home In a man-of-war. He was in Spanish waters when the jacks were given to the United States by Spain and was ordered to bring them out In his ship. It made him angry, but he got the beasts aboard and sailed for New York When he came through the Narrows the guns had been rolled back, and out of every port there stuck jacks head. Thus decked out and without salute. he came to his anchorage. The admiral commanding sent posthaste to de- mand why Captain Percival had not ealuted II didn't salute" was the doughty captains answer, because ! couldn't.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on tho blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one

Describing a Railroad.

The Pail Mall Gazette in 1890 asked in England. And one English kicker answered thus: "Sir-The Southeastern railway Is the very worst railway in the world. The engines are asthmatic. Its lamps are trimmed by foolish vir- gins. It's fares are excessive. It's car riages let in the snow in winter and are furnaces in summer Its motto is unpunctuality.

Mr.. Calais bases his assertion that | am

for such a statement. You socialists that

you, do you expect to get more value than
