 Round was the center of attraction and this was patronized by yCung and old, many of the latter not having ridden the ponies for years They all enjoyed it though, as well as the two other attractions. Which all goes to show that the Graphic is THE paper of Pine Bluff, and that 1t is read and appreciated by everyone, The Graphic greatly values the patronage given it by the people of Pine Bluff and is glad to have been able to rem der them this little token of it's appre- ciation.

THE NUDE"
 GETS A SHOCK
Pari>ian "Stagc Artists" Jailed for
 Lack of Clothing.

Paris, JulH 2S.-The tria! of two music hall managers and seven women recently arrested as a result of Sena- tor BerenSer's crusade against the ex- hlbition of the nude on the Paris stage was ended today. One of the managers was sentenced to three months Imprisonment and fined $60 and two of the actresses Were given l3 days In prison and fine of $10. The others were acquitted.
 The piece presented which was con- demned was entitled Either dc Bluch.
 Tn acquitting the other persons on trial the corut held that the crcum- stances under which the two men ap- peafed on the stage must bc taktA into account. The distance from the audience and the immobility oi the ar- tlstic pose assumed by the partici- pants robbed the living pictures pre- sented of any suggestion of licentious- ness or obscenity, and left upon the spectators only the Impression of nat ural beauty. Neither the manage ment nor the actresses therefore were guilty of immoral acts
 The government is greatly dissatis- fled with the judgment handed down and the minister of public instruc- tion at once filed notice of appeal.

MEN OF EARLIER AGES.

Men Of Today?

were Ihey inc mental FeorS OF Su0
Men Of Today?
The general idea that our enormous
advances In science and command over
nature serve as demonstrations of our
mental superiority to the men of ear
lier ages Is totally unfounded. The
evidence of history and of the earliest
monuments alike goes to indicate that
our intellectual and moral nature has
not advanced In any pereeptlble degree.
In the second place, we find that the
supposed great mental inferiority of
savages is equally unfounded. The
more they are alphabetically studied
the more they are found to resemble
ourselves In their inherent intellectual
powers.
Even the SO long despised Australian
savages, almost the lowest in material
progress, yet show by their complex
language, their social regulations and
often by an Innate nobility Of char
acter Indications of very similar In
ner nature to our own. Ii they pos
sess fewer philosophers and moralists.
they are also free from SO large a
proportion of unbalanced minds-idiots
and lunatlcs-as we possess. On the
other hand. we find In the higher Pa
citic types men who, though savages
as regards material progress, are yet
generally admitted to be physically, In
tellectually and morally our equals, II
not our superiors. Thirdly, we

A Curious Grace.

The most curious form, or, rather,
expression. of grace after meat which
l have ever come across was that GUS
tomary at Clifford's Inn, one of the
vanished inns of chancery. The sOci-
ETY. consisted of two distinct bodies,
the principal and rules and the Kent
ish mess, each body having its own la
BILE. At the conclusion of the dinner
the chairman Of the Kentish mess, first
bowling to the principal of the Inn,
took from the hands of the servitor
some small rolls or loaves of bread
and, without saying word. dashed
them several times on the table, after
which they We're taken away. Solemn
silence relieved only by the thumps
prevailed during this curious substi-
tute for n verbal grace.-Cor. London
Chronicle.
