OF the road. There they were lost in
medley Of other tracks. some OF rabbits
and others OF men and boys.
You kIddies stay here till | come
back" said Big Brother. II want to
drop of over the bank and see II there
are any fresher tracks than these. I'll
call TO you after I few minutes, or re-
turn" Then Big Brother went out OF
sight under the high bank bordering the
river.
Suppose we hunt for a rabbit now"
said Bobby. Big Brother has left us TO
ourselves
But how can we kill it II we find it,
asked May. Then, the full meaning OF
her words dawning upon her, she quickly
added: But | wouldn't want to kill
dear little rabbit: would you, Bobby?'
Bobby thought seriously for n minute.
The picture Of dear little bunny that
he had once owned, cunning little pet
which had been given to him by his
grandpapa came to his mind. He shud-
dered at the thought Of any one killing
his dear little bunny And were not all
rabbits alike? And might not any chance
rabbit that came In their path be his lit
tie bunny that had run away one night
when the cage had accidentally been left
open? All. yes. so it might. ''No-o-o.
May" Bobby answered slowly, IL
wouldn't want to kill a rabbit. II might
be Bunny what run away last summer"
'oh-h-h. so 1t might" And May opened
her brown ey.o very wide. And Just at
this minute Bobby's eyes caught sight Of
sonnet hing which made them omen very
wide too. He was looking inside a fal-
len hollow tree. He stopped over. that he
might the better see the object which
had so suddenly caught his attention.
"a rabbit" be whispered TO May. See
him sitting all huddled up inside that
rotten log? Oh, isn't he a pretty one,

The SNOWFALL Battle.

Fierce and long the conflict ragged;
Strong foes were In the fght.
Each warrior bold. with steady aim.
Did battle with his might.
Stern breastworks stood OF beaten snow.

Wild shouts did rend the air

Wide Publicity Given by Railroad to
 Arkansas Resources.

If Arkansas gets the full benefit of a campaign of advertising which has
 just been launched by the Missouri Paciiic-1ron Mountain for the purpose of settling the unoccupied lands and developing the latent resources Of the State, hundreds of industrious settlers and millions of working capital should in the near future be attracted to the State.
 This exploitation of the lands and resources of the State is in the form of display advertisements in the large agricultural papers all over the North and East, of the publication of illus trated magazine and newspaper arti- cles showing what the farmers of Arkansas have done and are doing: of the prominent mention of Arkansas in time tables and folders which have a wide circulation among people who travel in every part of the country, and supplementing all this, of the is- suance of one of the handsomest book lets ever issued by any railroad, en- titled "The Homebuilder in Ark ansas."
 his book, which is sent free to every old-state inquirer about Ark ansas lands, has ss pages and maps of the State and the United States. The cover design in colors is a thing of beauty. It shows an Arkansas farm home surrounded by orchard and vineyard, with a held of thoroughbred Jerseys grazing on an alfalfa meadow, in the foreground. There are about 70 illustrations of the various phases of farm life, some of them represent ing scenes in our own locality. The States position among other common wealths, it's advantageous location in the matter of market conveniences and the favorable climatic conditions are all discussed in way that appeals to the homeseekers. After these subjects there k q discussion of the various crops and industries of the farms and then particular mention is made of each locality, the whole array of in- formation being carefully indexed.
 The advertising in the newspapers brings to the railroad many inquiries about Arkansas lands and investments. When such inquiries are received, a copy of the book, with other informa- tion, is forwarded and T. C. Kimber, Immigration Agent, of the Company, follows this with a series of personal letters giving more specific facts, and from this time until the correspondent is located, the railroad keeps in close touch with him, never failing to put in word for Arkansas.

Cnpid's Capers.

Love is no respecter of age, sex or color-the rich, the poor, the old. the young, are game alike for his uner- ring arrow. There is no shield power erful enough to ward them, no parental authority so stern as to pre- vent it. as MT. and Mrs. W. 4. Wil- kins realized.
 Miss Willie Lee Wilkins left home Tuesday morning ostensibly to attend Crowley Ridge Institute, of which she was pupil, but about l o'clock met her sweetheart, NIT. Roy Weier, near the courthouse, and wended their way to the Catholic parsonage where they were made man and wife by Father Buscher, and then repaired to the home of the groom's father, and the brides mother was notified and sent for, and as all good stories end, they all kissed and made up and lived happy for ever afterwards.
 Miss Wilkins parents objected to the marriage on account of the tender age of the bride, but love laughs at locksmiths and parental objection. and as the groom had secured the license few days in advance. he took advantage of this opportunity.
 The brides parents undertook to head the young couple of. a. the bride was under age, but the deputy sheriil arrived a bit too late, for the manly groom introduced him to his wife as soon as he entered the house
 The bride is the daughter of Mir and Mrs. W. A. Wilkins, and while young in years, is magnificent woman, and will make fitting mate for the husband of her selection.
 The groom is the eldest son of Mr. c. c. Weier, and shows his wisdom in the choice of his mate.
 May good fortune attend the young couple on the voyage down the river of life, guarding all the shoals and rocks, drifting along in the sunlight of the love which bound them to- gether, is the wish of The Times.

How to Cure a Cold.

Be as careful as you can you will occasionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability one that has an established reputa- tion and that is certain to effect quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It has gained q world wide reputation by its remark able cures of this most common of ail- ments, and can always be depended upon.

Chamberlain < Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by J. T. Sanders.

REPORT ON FORESTS AND
THEIR IMPORTANCE

Washington, Dec. IL The first
figures Oh the inventory of the forests
of the United States which the Nat
|ional Conservation Commission has
make were presented to the Confer
ence by Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah,
Chairman of the Section of Forests
of the Commission. Senator Shoots
report is a summary of the great mass
of statistics which the first inventory
represents. The report represents six
months work ON the part OF the For

striking figures of the Forests inven-
tory. In part the report Is as follows:
What Forests Do.
Next to our need of food and watec
comes our need OF timber. Our indus
tries subsisting wholly or mainly upon
wood, pay the wages OF more than one
and one-half million men and women.
Forests not only grow timber. but
they hold the soil, n they conserve
streams for all useful purposes. How
far forests increase the rain is not
yet known. 1t Is well known that they
check wind, and work against excess
i've heat or cold. That they make for
the fiber, health. and happiness of
each citizen and OF the, nation, has
been known since history began.
The fish which live in forest waters
furnish each year ~twenty-one million
dollars worth OF food and notices.
than half as much Is furnished by the
game which could not exist without
the forest.
What We Have.
Our forests now cover $50 million
acres, o. about one-fourth of the Unit
ed States. The original forests cover
