A Bright Young Life En- led.

Jefferson Davis. the subject of this
sketch, was born in Jasper, Arkans -,
Dec, II, 1850, and died at Harrj son,
Ark, Nov. oth, 1908, aged i years,
10 months and y DAYS. He was the
younger of two sons born TO Mr. and
Mrs. Sam ", Davis, who were long
and favora bly, known in the p.ne-clad
hills and fertile valleys of their south
crn home.
jeff was left father'ess in infancy,
and his elder brother passed to the
Better Land few years ago, leaving
him the only son of his widowed moth
er, and the one cherished I'd i Of his
sisters hearts. Indeed, so rich in the
domestic virtues was the character of
our young friend, that to the tilial du-
ties of loving son, he soon added the
protecting care and watchfui guard
ianship of tender father, Nobly
did he strive, and ably did he succeed
| in filing the difficult office of The
Man in the Family" now left so des'
olate by the loss Of the only son, the
only brother.
He was richly gifted bv nature in
all the essentials of leadership. AL
ways at the head of his class, he was
a favorite with his teachers; the lead
; ing spirit of the playground. he was
little less than a hero to his young
companions,
AS evidence of his strength of char
acter and hold on public favor, it need
only be remembered that he was chos-
en- Page in the Arkansas legislature,
and served with credit during the
terms Of 1905 and 1907, This honor
he won, coming from the republican
county of Newton, although a staunch
juvenile democrat, and the son of a
prominent member of that party.
| Here a. elsewhere he was dcservedly
popular, and won all hearts by his
kindly courtesy. He possessed in a
remarkable degree that rare sympa-
thetic temperament that blends sweet.
| ly and unconsciously with every phase
of spiritual and mental ne d. He was
ever en- rapport with his company
and was as helpful to the aged as TO
the Young. And while he was intel
lectually companionable to the prIct.-
cal man of affairs, he was ever happy
in the presence of romping childhood
or prat.iug infancy.
The void seems unbearable-impos-
sible of ever being filed in hearts that
| loved him, and whose love he 50 warm
ly returned, But his young life was
happy and eminently useful, Nem.
ory is rich field wherein his family
may often roam again in the sweet
companionsh Of days gone by. He
/ died hnDDy and gave uuui,tu ka bic
evidence of his peace with God.
His mother, Mrs, Sam w. Davis and
his sisters, Miss Eliie Davis and Mrs.
Clay Holt, have the warmest synpa'
thy of all. NJ.

Coincidence.

A Washington newspaper wants to
know what coincidence Is,
Suppose Little Willie is reading the
story of William Tell the same day his
rich and doting uncle is buying him a
bow and arrow!
Suppose again, that father has sent
a barrel Of apples TO the house and
that mother has gone visiting and left
Willie's younger brother in his care,
If Willie suddenly assumes san.
culinary attitude, sets brother against
a tree, places an apple on his curly
head, la William Tell and Gessler-
like, endeavors to shoot the luscious
spheroid from Georges head-that Is
a coincidence!
II Wilie's mother comes home be-
fore he has hit the apple, that is q
calamity.
But If Willie escapes a good whip
ping-that is miracle

,dsEGK LAWFUL MONEY
According to Decision Handed Down
by Judge Iangan ut Goldfieid

In giving Henry Weber check for
$4,000 Copt. Thomas Hooper thus
paid him in lawful money of the
United States. says the Goldfeld
Tribune.
[ This is the essence of a highly i'm
portapt decision rendered yesterday
by Judge Largan in the case against
the we'll known mining operator. 1t
forms d precedent for the state in
matters of this kind, especially as
authorities all over the country are
more or less weak or contradictory
upon the subject of a check being
lawful money.
The defense argued that the check
should not be introduced in evidence
for the reason that the Weber in
dictment recites that he received
$4,000 lin lawful money of the
United States" whereas this check
could not be construed as such, even
though it was subsequently cashed.
This formed one OF the main points
upon which the defense relied, and
from the ruling of Judge Langan an
appeal to the supreme court will be
taken on this question. The court
said in part: Il have examined all
of the authorities as presented. or a
great many of them. rather, as pre-
scented by defendant and presented by
the state, and while there are some
authorities-and very fev-that take
the view as presented by counsel for
the defendant, under the great
weight of uthority-modern author
ity. / will term tt am Of the opin-
| ion that draft or check Is only an
evidenciary fact. The check was sim
ply the fundamentally through
which the money was obtained or
transferred from the account of Cap
tain Hooper to that of the defendant.
The sole question in this case is. did
the defendant embezzle the check or
embezzle the money paid on the
check. IL he embezzled the chack
