VOL. II. HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

According to official announcement, Vol II, of the Arkansas Historical Associations publications is now ready fer distribution, and those in terested in the development of Ar kansas from an unknown wilderness to one of the foremost states in the Union will--if Vol. I is to be taken as a criterion-find Vol. II full of yalu- able information.
 There are several reasons why this work should find a ready sale, chief 9mong which is that the association needs the money to continue their work. Those engaged ill the great task of preserving to posterity the events and incidents which occurred in the evolution of Arkansas from a haunt of savages and wild beasts to it's present high state of development fare performing a labor of love, and doing it with pleasure, but neverthe- less it requires the employment of funds which must come through gra- ltuities and the sale of the associa ltions publications. Indeed. the press | ing need of funds has greatly retard- ed the work, which may be said to be of priceless value to Arkansas and 1t is to be devoutly hoped that the financial embarrassment under which the association has worked heretofore will be removed at an early date.
 Any one desiring copy of Vol. II can secure 1t by sending the required amount to Secretary John Hugh Rey- holds at Fayetteville.

the conservation of the waste of wa ter in the spring or fall in reservoirs and lakes would afford much need
 ed supply in the dry season, which occurs with equal regularity later on
 each year. The government should put it's engineers to work at once making surveys and gathering data to furnish an intelligent basis for relief work to
 follow as soon as possible. The Wa
 ter question is feast or a famine
 every year in the West when a com
 paratiyely small expenditure would
 guarantee an equable supply the year
 round. The way to conserve is to

CONSERVING THE FLOODS.

One of the things that should claim the early attention of the commission on conservation of the country's natural resources is the regulation of the water supply in order to prevent the devastating floods and the subse- quent water famines which afflict large parts of the United States every year. The urgency of the need for prompt relief from these conditions is sufficiently emphasized by the present situation of affairs throughout the great Southwestern region extending from the Rockies to the Mississippi river, says the Kansas City Journal,

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

There is every evidence that the Christmas shoppers are beginning earlier than usual this year, and the merchant who advertises his goods early and often will get the bulk of the holiday business. Shoppers are becoming convinced by personal eX- perience that their own best inter- ests are served by doing all the buy ing possible before the inevitable rush Is on in all its fury. Human nature must be taken into account, and If the leverage woman were appealed to on behalf of the tired shop girls and for other similar reasons, the chances are that she would consult her own linclinations first.
 But while stocks are fresh. while lines of goods are complete and be. fore the aisles are congested beyond
 the normal. is the logical time for
 buying The longer 1t is put off the
 greater the probability that the very thing needed or wanted will have
 been taken and the dilatory buyer will have to take what is left. There is al- ways the certainty of a great many of two classes of buyers-those who
 are thoughtful enough to buy early
 and get what they want. and those who put off their purchasing until
 the last possible minute. The num-
 hers of the thoughtful buyers are constantly increasing. and everybody concerned is glad of it. Every mer-

A deyasting fire is fearful thing. But a more frightful calamity is to see river eat into the heart of a city and swallow up several blocks of it's most valuable property. If fire sweeps property away. most of the owners are indemnified with insur- ance. If they have no insurance they, at least. have the ground left to them.

HumbIing a Princess.

One night John Sharp Williams, while
a student at ~Heidelburg, Germany, vas
in attendance at a swell function at
which the guest of honor was a dark
skinned princess alleged to hail from
one of the South Sea islands. This
princess was magDificently bedecked
and beieweled, and her warm olive
complexion, set off by a mass OF black,
kinky hair. sparkling eyes, made her
the centre of attraction and the reign
ing belle OF the function. The mascu-
line-like Germans swarmed about her
like bees around a honeysuckle vine,
and even Dutch %femininity could not
discount the charm of her manner or the
beauty of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, of course,
and Immediately upon obtaining a near
view of the princess ~, says the BIZ
l0xi Herald, his Southern instincts rose
to the surface and his Southern blood
began to boil. Watching his opportu-
nifty, he managed to get the beauty's
elbow. Then reducing his voice to a
low, but perfectly audible key, he sent
into her startled ear this alarming
query:
Look here, niger, where did you
come from?"
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin-
cess turned upon her interrogation as
she heard the familiar intonation of the
Southerner, and looked in his unrelent-
ing face. Then she stammered:
Fun Souf CaroIiny, boss; but fob de
Lawd sake, don't tell it,"
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea Of a Southern negress in a
far away land and permitted her to con-
tinue her bold imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell. But the fact remains that the
princess realized that she was in the
presence of one who, from intimate
knowledge Of her race, had OWNED her
African origin, and she could only
throw herself on his mercy.
