LITTLE ROCK
 NEWS BUDGET
Items Gathered at the State Capital By the Picayune's
 Representative

Arkansas today has about as good insurance protection as it did before the legislature began to draft and pass stringent anti trust and combine acts, which drove many of the big insurance companies from the State. When the laws were modified so as to restrict only these companies which combined to fix rates in Arkansas, the big companies be- gan to come back and the little mutual companies organized in the state to fail. The Pruden- tial is the latest company to give a notice of return. and Geo. Tiles will probably be state agent, with headquarters in Lit tie Rock.

BOODLINC CASES
 TO COME UP
Probably All Will Be Tried Tn November a n d
 Dece Der.

Little Rock, Sept. IA. Prose cutting Attorney Roy D Camp bell. stated today that just as soon as the election is over, he would meet with the council for the legislators charged with boodling or perjury in connec- tion with boodling cases, and the dates for all the cases will he set for trial. Prosecutor Campbell seems anxious to get these cases out of the way. and it is probable that he will insist on the trial of the most of them in Nov. and December, thus get ting them all out of the way be- fore the meeting of the next leg : islature. It is certain the trial of Senator J. H. Holland. of Greenwood; charged with per- jury. who is a candidate for re- election today in Sebastian coun- ty, will take place before the next sesaion of the legislature. Prosecuting Attorney Campbell intimated the meeting with the attorney for the defense would be some time this week.

MAGAZINE FAKIR
 FINALLY CAUGHT
H. c. Lee, Who Has Work ed Nearly Every Town in
 the U. s. is Caught.

Little Rock, Sept. IA. HI. c. Lee, the fake magazine subscrip- tion solicitor is being held by the Little Rock police to hear from other places where it is known he is wanted, but if no more ser ious crimes turn up than the one for which he is wanted here, Lee will be prosecuted in Little Rock. Lee, who is young man of good appearance, has travelled over the country selling the Red Book and House Beautiful for one year for $1, collecting the money in advance and then leaving for greener pastures. Cards found in his suit case show he has work ed almost every town in the United States on this scheme, in spite of the efforts of the maga- zine owners to head him off, and was only arrested here when he was pointed out to the detectives by a man he attempted to fleece some months ago. Lee has a dozen or more aliases, and work ed almost exclusively among den- lists and physicians. He 50 close ly resembles a man wanted in Chicago for murder that a com plete investigation will be made before he is released.
 Lee came to Little Rock from Fort Smith, where he victimized a large number of people besides visiting other towns in the state and making good hauls. Le e was out in the police court this morning, but was sent back to jail for further examination later on.

From the Washington Post.
 All Americans love and venerate their ilustrious dead. and using the beautiful grounds of Arlington for national ceme- tery is a splendid tribute to the heroes of the army and navy. There is also in Washington the Congressional cemetery which is the last resting place provided bv the nation for the lawmakers of Amer lea. Thus it seems singular that there has been no national burying ground pro- yided for the Presidents of the United States.
 Recently there has been considerable talk of what is to be done with Presidents of the United States after they retire from office. Suggestions have been made that they be given seats in the Senate for life. and that they be pensioned for life. Aside from this discussion of what is to he done for the former Presidents during their lifetime, there has been some talk of providing a burying ground for the Presidents.
 Probably not one man out or tnou- ssand knows the burial places of all the different Presidents, with the exception Inf Mount Vernon, for the tomb of Wash . irgton is visited by tourists from every country, and is familiar to every Ameri- can.
 President John Adams remains were inferred at Quincy, Mass, beneath the portfco of the Unitarlan cnurcn. The tomb is in the cellar, and is built in be- hind large blocks of rough granite. The door Is a marble slab, with massive clasp padlock and hinges. In the church proper is the memorial tablet to John Adams and his wife. On the top of it is a lifeslze bust of the President and the tablet is inscribed with an elaborate eulogy of his services as a citizen and public serv- ant. John Quincy Adams, the sixth Pres ident of the United States. and the son of John Adams, is buried in the same

Management of Coal Mine
From Mines and Mineral. for I,,ne

from Mines and Minerals for June
 The management and engineering of n coal mine call for an unusual combination of technical skill and of business and ex- ecutNe acumen. The success or failure of an ore mine depends very largely uno, whether or not the ore body is continu- ous, and, especially If the deposit is rich. 'he working of the mine freauentIv dis
 plays lack rather than a knowledge of economical engineering. Coal however. Is bulky product and one that is compara lively cheap; hence the success or failure, of a mine depends very often upon the ability of the superintendent Take for instance, mine with an output of 30pl tons per day This means not only send
 ing out each day sixty 5O-ton railroad cars Of coal, but the handling of large amount of material required in the opera- tion of the mine in the way of timbe,. and other supplies. There are many miles Of underground track to be looked after and constantly repaired and extended
 Power must be provided for hauling. lioisting, ventilating, coal cutting, pump. ing, etc. All of this requires for it's prop
 CT accomplishment a knowledge of cleo trical, mechanical and civil engineering of no mean degree, and requires executive ability if economic results are to be ob- tained. The problem is usually a maxi mum output with minimum expense and frequently with minimum facilities and under conditions far from favorable whil, the competition is frequently keen. For instance, the man who must mine a seam of anthracite 20 inches thick and sell 1t in competition with the man who mines the same or better grade of coal occurring in seams from to GO feet thick has no mean problem before him. The men to cut and mine the coal are often incompetent and new to the business and must be instructed in the very rudiments
 Then this same foreign population must be Americanized and controlled, both in mine and outside, 20 that the student of sociology has ample range for his abili- ties. There are few positions winch call for more varied technical and business attainments than mine superintendency,

 Jefferson Designed His Monument.
 Thomas Jefferson is buried at Monti- cello, Va, in the family cemetery The granite obelisk, built of three pieces of rough granite, is designed from drawings made by Jefferson. Mrs. Jefferson is buried close by him.
 James Madlson's body rests in a lot at Montpelier, Va. This lot has an iron gate with the name Madison" on it. The monument, which is plain but graceful obelisk, was erected 2l years after his death by private subscriptions The inscription on 1t makes no allusion to his pubic services. His wife, Dolly Payne, is buried in the same lot.

Strawberry Sunshine.

The fruit for this attractive pre-
serve should be firm, of good flavor
and not over-ripe. Wash 1t gently,
hull and weigh it and put into pre-
serving kettle in alternating layers,
with an equal amount of best preserv-
ing sugar, berry layer first--to pre-
vent burning-and without water. 1t
must heat very slowly at first until
enough juice has separated to float
the mass of fruit and sugar; then 1t
can be brought quickly to boil and
boiled like jelly for 20 minutes. It is
then poured out into shallow p1atters
or pans and allowed to stand for two
days or longer, in the hot sunshine
until 1t jellies or thickens to the sat
isfaction of the maker. and then put
into glasses and covered with para
fine. II the days are dark. the same
result is placed by placing the plat
tiers a few times on top of the range
when the fire is low. or standing
them in the mouth of the oven. This
is less convenient way, and slower
but equally certain.

LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN In.
CANnESCENT LAMPS.

Love OF light is the greatest herr
tage of the human soul. And since
primeval man sat in the glow of the
swapping camp fire, every age has
sought to imp owe on the methods Of
dispelling the darkness between sun
down and sunrise.
AS rule, writer's of history con-
fine themselves to the most import
ant details and events, and readers
are too prone to associate the people
of the past with the conveniences of
the present.
Few realize that previous to the
invention of the tallowdip, by King
Alfred, the interior of the Saxon cas-
ties and banquet halls in England
were lighted with torches held in
iron sockets on the walls. OF course
they smoked and flickered, and it is
written that the wind blew the sparks
all over the room. In ancient Rome
and Greece the torch was the stand
ard method Of illuminating buildings
and streets although lamps, burning
fat from a rush wick, were extern
siyely used. -.
The advent OF gas was quicly ov-
ershadowed by the discovery of pc
troleum. And then, after thousands
of years of cropping about in almost
absolute darkness, the electric light,
discovered only about a score of
years ago, gave the nearest substi-
tute to actual sunlight known to man.
Since then great strides have been
made in artificial lighting until only
few days ago the scientists an
nounced the new tungsten electric
light, which is predestined to revo-
lutionize electric lighting.
The light from the new tungsten
incandescent lamps is pure white and
is very closely allied to natural sun
shine 1t is the first artificial illum-
inant by which all colors can be dis
tinguished. Color Is an ocular con-
ception. Without light there Is no
color. Red is red only because it has
the quality of absorbing all other
colors of the spectrum and reflecting
the red rays. Artificial lights in which
the yellow, violet, or red rays pre-
dominate cannot be used to match
colors. Under the clear white light
of the tungsten lamps violet Is not
blue; pink is not red; and blue is not
black as when looked at under any
other kind of artificial light. The
most delicate tints show cellar and
true.

Hints on Jellies and Preserves.

In jelly making season it Is a
good idea to procure some OF the
finest tumblers that are on the mar
ket for sale and fill them for the
children's school luncheons.
While preserving any of the fruit
juice that Is left over after filling
the cans may be put in the icebox
and used up in the fresh apple pies or
poured over the baked apples or
pears.
Flannel jelly bags are, of course,
the best, and when making them,
make two or three for use In case of
accident; they should be fresh each
year, for in one season they grow
hard and too close and thick for use.
All preserve skimmings may be
saved and thrown into the vinegar
barrel or demijohn, as 1t makes
mother" the so to speak parent of
the finest vinegar.
Do not forget that apricots make
delicious jam, which, II not made too
stiff, is fine for the filling of fruit
jars for early fall pastry. Their sea-
son in market is short, and II we do
not make note of 1t In the season
