Japanese towels ever since they were
introduced In this country. This home

the neatest kind of couch cover; two
serve for roomy pillow cover; one

neat for the dresser, washstand or buff

fifteen inches In width. The material
looks like n good quality of cheese
cloth, and the stencil effect is made In
blue. green and red. and often little
black Is seen. One can get them In the

be purchased In any of the Japanese

Very Harmless "Tiger" Was Irish
 mans Companion in Cage.

The manager of wild animal show was so unfortunate as to lose by death the only lion in his collection. After trying in vain to replace the loss he finally secured an Irishman to appear in his exhibition on all fours in the lions cage, wrapped in the dead beasts skin. This plan worked we'll enough for while, and the public was fooled One night, however, 1t be came necessary. in the course of one performance, for the lion to enter the tigers cage. Pat pleaded strenuously behind the scenes against being sent into the other maneater's presence; but his employer was unyielding, as surfing him repeatedly that the tiger was harmless. Though well-nigh dead with fear. Pat, after long and vigorous persuasion. at last crawled into the tigers cage: No sooner was he in the case than he lost what little courage he had left, and lay down. calling in a hoarse whisper, Please don't bite me i; l ain't no lion; I'm an Irishman." The tiger appeared thoroughly disgusted, and in a moment he growled back, Shut up, you fool. so am I."-Har- per's Weekly.

While no definite plans for the Construction of the build- ing or of raising the fund necces sary were outlined, the decision to erect the structure seems to be a foregone conclusion, and only the details now need to be worked out.
 In the preliminary talk 1t was decided that fund of about $20, 900 be raised for the purpose, but owing to difference of opinion as to the manner of rais- ing the fund no definite action was taken at this time. The plan most favored was the sale of stock in shares of SlU0 each, but a number of other plans were ad- vanced and the matter postponed

 IL is also stated that it is not likely that any other candidate in Scott county will announce for this office and 1t seems almost certain now that the race for state senator will be between Mr. Sanford of Scott'county and John P. Logan of Polk county, who has already announced himself as candidate for this office.
 These gentlemen are both we'll known throughout the district, each being shrewd politician, and no doubt great interest will be manifested as to the final out come of this contest.

Pine Bluff, Feb. 7.-Frank Bonner, the negro, who was ar rested i'll this city several days ago by Patrolmen Walter Stewart and Carver on charge of for. gerry, was yesterday bound over to the Jefferson county grand jury by Justice J. A. Frazier. Six charges of forgery are pending against Bonner and the present grand jury will in all probability return true bill in each of them.
 The negro prisoner does not deny the charge against him. His scheme was worked here for several days before the police finally "took him in" He would visit a home, inquire as to who lived there, and then after learn ing the name of near by neigh bor would write note to the latter asking a small loan. sign- ing the name of the first house wife visited. After securing the supposed loan the negro would disappear.
