TOO MUCH OF A JOB.
Lack of Qualifications Kept Young
 Man from Embracing Girl.

An innocent young man with an honest ambition and fund of inexpe- rience once called on modern maid en in great city.
 After the usual preliminaries, he thought 1t was about time to begin, so he edged along on the sofa.
 Be careful" she said. warningly. Tt cost me nearly two dollars to have my hair done up. It is set for a week"
 With great respect avoiding this point of contact, he endeayored to put one arm around her waist,
 Look outl" she said. Don't get tangled up in this Irish lace. It cost s400, and it might be expensive for you to have repaired"
 With this the young man got up.
 My dear girl he said. had I the strength of Sandow and the agility of Japanese wrestler, to say nothing of the skill of Hermann, l would reach over carefully, take your beau tiful face in my hands, and kiss you. But somehow or other l can't seem to get my mind on it."
 And with this he ordered a taxi meter cab and in a few moments he was nothing but a cloud of gasoline smoke on the horizon.-Judge.

COURT HOUSE
 ANNEX IS DOOMED
Cracks in Walls of Building at Pine Bluff Widen and Big Crash Is Expected at Any
 Time.

Pine Bluff, Dec. 17.-The $l00,- 900 annex to the Jefferson county court house, dismantied and strip ped of its fixtures and furnish- iugs, which was left standing on the very edge of the river bank by the recent caving here, is doomed. Cracks in the building occasioned by the weakening ot the foundations have widened and rear wall of the big structure will probably fall into the river when the water recedes more.
 The brush and rock which has been placed along the bank at the rear of the annex sank from view today aud more is being placed there, in an effort to save the building. No persons are permit ted to go near the walls.
 The falling river caused light caving during this week al the rear end of the Knox wareho ouse at the foot of Chestnut street and the building is now standing on the edge of the bank. If more caving occurs the rear of the building will be partially destroy ed.
 The caying was checked iu the eastern part of the city some days ago and the situation there is much improved.
 The government fleet is at work rebuilding revetments In that section and the work will be pushed along the river front be- fore another rise. The Hotel Jefferson is safe and there is no danger of further caving there. The Arkansas has fallen 12 feet here since the maximum stage of several days ago.

Policemen to Study Electricity.

In addition to his other fund of in. formation, the Philadelphia policeman, who is esteemed by Mayor Reyburn to be the finest in the world, must here after have an elementary knowledge of electricity. The order has been issued by Director Clay. and Chief McI4augh lin of the electrical bureau is instruct. ing his first class.
 The wizard of the city hall believes that the man on the beat should know something of the mechanism of the fire alarm or police call box he daily pulls" In this opinion Director Clay coincides.
 Some of the men on the force have never been taught to distinguish be- tween an ampere and volt, and wouldn't know an armature from a rheostat.
 With his newly acquired stock of knowledge the Philadelphia policeman will soon be able to run disabled trol. ley car to the barn or repair the cleo tric battery of the bell that doesn't ring when he makes the round of his division just before election.-Phila delphia Ledger.

TWO PLEAD GUILTY
 TO CONTEMPLATING
J. R. Davis of Mammoth Spring Given Three Years in Prison and His Nephew Sent to
 Reformatory.

Batesyille, Dec. l7.-The trial of J. k. Davis and wife of Nam moth Spring, Fulton county, and their nephew, charged with mak- ing and circulating counterfeit money at their home, was held today iu federal court here and resulted in the conviction of Da- wis and his nephew, who pleaded guilty to the charges against them. Davis was sentenced to three years in federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, and the youth was sentenced to the reformatory at Bonneville, Mo. The boy is only IA years oI age.
 The case against Mrs. Davis was nolle pressed because ot the fact that she has several small children at home.
 The Davis boy was caught at- tempting to pass counterfeit mon ey at Batesville. After being ar rested he stated that bis uncle had a large amount of the bogus money and his story led to an in- vestigation.
 Davis and his wife were arrest ed at Mammoth Spring while re- turning from church and their house was searched. A complete connterfeiting plant was discov- cred. It was believed then that the plant was one os number operated under one head and COW eriug the entire middle west and south.

MAY NOT BE SERIOUS
Boy Who Fell Under a Wagon Loaded With Sand Is Quite Sore but
 Doing Nicely.

Isaac Lacy, the nine-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. G. ". Lacy, who was run over by a wagon loaded with sand Thursday after noon, is reported to be doing very nicely. There are no bones broken and although the child suffers some and is unable to move on account of the soreness, 1t is not believed that the iujur- ies will result seriously.
 II seems quite wonderful that the child's life was not crushed out. The wagon with its load of sand weigbed something over 5000 pounds. The rear wheel passed over one hip and across the abdomen. The family has been unable to learn the name of the man driving the wagon, but the boy stated that the driver was not to blame. Isaac was going home from school and started to hop on the brake beam to get a ude when he fell under the wheels.
 After the accident the driver, with the assistance of John Bates, carried the injured child to the nearest house, and after giving him temporary relief Mir. Bates placed him in his laundry wagon and hurried 10 his home and feared he was going to die before he could get there.
 Unless some unexpected trouble arises Isaac will soon recover.

II WANTS EVIDENCE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TIC QUESTION THE PRESIDENT
 ABOUT HIS MESSAGE.
WANTS 10 KNOW WHY HE CRITICISED II
Galleries Were Filled During the De. bate-House Wants President |: Furnish Evidence to Connect Mem bers With Corrupt Practices-Thc Presidents Son-in-Law Withdrew.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The House called on the president Thursday for the evidence on which he based hi3 criticism of congress because it re stricted the use of the secret service It's action entrusted strongly %itf that of the Senate Wednesday which avoided inviting a comeback from the president by undertaking an inyestt gation of its own.
 There was a marked contrast, too in the discussion of the resolution in the two bodies. The Senate Wednes day resented" and hurled back; |" the members of the House expressed no criticism. They merely asked foi information.
 The news that Perkins of New York was about to present the resolution spread through the capitol in a hurry and galleries quickly filled. The reso lution recited that portion of the mes sage which asserted that congress had restricted the use of the secret service because it had decided to escape in. vestigation. Then 1t went on to re quest the president to transmit to the House any evidence on which he had made the statements in the message and any evidence connecting members With corrupt practices in any official capacity. Then MT Perkins, tall and dignified, explained that the committee was merely seeking information on which to base a report.
 John Sharp Williams, on behalf of the Democratic members of the com. mittee, expressed the hope that the resolution would be adopted without debate. There was no evidence that the committee could discover, he said. not scintilla of evidence, to justify the president.
 The president has made a state ment that We are shielding criminals" he continued. "The country has right to know If he has the evidence. If he hasn't the country. which is mas ter of US both, can judge between us"
 The discussion was sharply limited by Representative Perkins. who soon called for a vote, whereupon Nicholas Longworth, the presidents son-in-law discreetly retreated from the chamber. The resolution carried with only single dissenting vote, Then came A vote on the 'whereases" of the pre-. amble to the resolution. One of these declaring that it was the plain infer. ence of the message that a majority of the congressman feared an investiea. tioh' was objected to, but only i f mem oers voted no on 1t. Two of them were the Kansas insurgents, Murdock and Madison.

PASTOR DROPPED
 IN A HURRY
Brilliant Divine Admitted That He Visited and Drank at Saloons
 He Is Dismissed
 To Haste.

Little Rock, Dec. l7,-Rev. r. F. Patton, who for the past two or three months has been pastor of the Third Street Chris. tian church, has resigned at the request of his congregation and left the city. The request for his resignation was made last Saturday, and so bitter was the feeling against him, that al- though he had announced his subjects for sermons on the Sum- day following, he was not per mitted 10 appear in his pulpit, and left the city shortly after ward.
 Mir. Patton was asked to resign following a confession that he was accustomed to visiting sal oons and drinking there. Rumors to thIs effect had been current for some iime, and when the officers of the church faced him with the charges, he not only did not deny having frequenisd saloons, but slys he saw no harm in 1t. There is no evidence that he ever be- came intoxicated.
 Members of the church, while much chagrined and mortified at the sudden turn of affairs, have been disposed not to make the news public, but after consulta- ton with other members of the same denomination in the city, IL was decided that publicity would be the best way to avoid ques tions, and would perhaps prevent some other church having a similar experience. It was stated that the facts in the case will be published in church paper.
 Mir. Patton's preaching satis- f.d his congregation, and his record in the pulpit was almost phenomenal. His sermons at tracted large crowds, especially his last one, which was delivered to railroad meu. He was to have preached last Sunday night on "Meu and Cowards..
