ton. Try them. They are among the
best I know. (But remember that
mental concentration must be used
also in all other athletic practice.)
Stand facing the wall of your room,
a few feet distant from it. Put the
right foot forward, throwing the
weight of the body on it, drawing in a
full breath as you do so. Place the
right hand on the wall in front of you,
at the most convenient level (nearer
the height of the shoulder than the
height of the waist, and, bracing
yourself, push. Push as though you
were trying to push the wall down.
This must not be done jerkily, nor, on
the other hand, too slowly. Then,
bringing back the right foot, and bring
ing the body again to an upright pos
ture, bring forward the left foot and
place the left hand on the wall instead
of the right. Push again as before.
Recover your upright posture, let out
the long breath slowly, draw in an
other and repeat the performance, be-
ginning again, of course, with the
right hand and right foot.
Do this six times the first day, in
~creasing at the rate of two per day un-
til you get it up to twelve. Now,
when pushing, every single muscle Of
the body must be at work. Push as
though you felt that the wall would
topple over IN you unless you pushed
il back. That is the only way in which
this splendid exercise can do you any
good. If you are going to let you
mind wander to any other subject yol
might as well not push at all. Done
with mental concentration, this is per
haps the best exercise for all the mus
cles.
Now here is another mental con
centration exercise" for developing

MAD DOG SCARE
 AT VAN BUREN.

The mad dog scare assumed a high stage of excitement when 1t was learned that the dog who bit Mrs. Earl Neal had genuine case of the rabies, as that report came from St. Louis where she Is under treatment. The dog that bit Mrs. Neal was sent to St. Louis at the request of her attending physician for examlna- ton, with the above result. When this was learned there was an increased anxiety felt over the probable tate of the little grand son of J. D. Lloyd, who was bit ten by a mad dog the same day as was Mrs. Neal. A mad stone had been applied to the wound, but rather than take any further chances the boy was sent to the Pasteur Institute at St. Louis for treatment. Van Buren Press.

TRIBUTE TO THE
 LATE PROF. $. ]. WOOD.

Hersehel Hughes, of Whitener, in writing the St. Paul Mountain Air, pays the following tribute to the late Prof. $. D. Wood, Mir. Hughes being a form. pupil of Prof. Wood when lie taught at Pea Ridge:
 The educational career of Prof. $. D. Wood, who recently died in his Springdale home, embraced thirty five years of continuous service Tn the schools of North west Arkansas. His years at the Pea Ridge Masonic College were perhaps the happiest of a beauti- ful and successful life. The elevated ethics he so perlstently inculcated lifted the entire student body to grander spiritual plane. Those who heard his occasional lectures Ill the college chapel can never forget the simple and touch ing beauty of his utterances. With the ardor of the old proph- cts, he believed that all souls were Gods. that the heavenly Jerusalem covers the whole plain of the hereafter, and nobly did he plead for all to come into their high heritage. How he loved this wondrous world, it's day and night, its fruits and flowers, it's seraphic souls. How he enshrin- ed himself in the hearts of the college students as the tender and trusting teacher, the kind and ever faithful friend.
 The years never dlnmed the boundless enthusiasm of his youth.
 For him the beauty of the world was ever flew, its order still enchanting, its joys still in- toxicating, it's problems still in- viting, it's work still engaging. Tn ose who knew him best realize that he fell III the midst of his labors, with his highest hopes unrealized, his inspiring ideals unattained. But It Is better so. The starry soul of him who was a student all his years. will con- tinue it's investigations amid brighter conditions i'll the univer- sity of the skies.

Said he would vote for bill in congress to prohibit the manufacture of liquor, and also one to prohibit the imper- tation of whiskey into a prohibit tion state.
 Touching on state politics he said lie was not d candidate. and did not know that he ever would be. That he was glad that he had lived long enough to see the steam roller pass over Ben Grif- fin, state secretary of the Farm CTS Union, and flatten him out. That Griffin wanted to be presi- dent at the recent state meeting, bet was defeated, and charged that he had led the Union into politics. The speaker urged the farmers to organize, but to keep clear of policties.
 Senator Davis was especially severe in his denunciation of those Democrats who scratched the ticket at the recent election, and said that If there was a Jeff Davis Democrat in Springdale Township who scratched Tod hunter to show him to him and he would ''eat him. boots, spurs, and all. Said that after the re- cent primary somebody wanted to know if he would vote for Donaghey, and he wanted them to understand that he had never scratched a Democratic ticket In his life. and that his hand would fall palsied at his side if he were to do such thing. lie said he voted for Donaghey and didn't have to hold his nose either, as some Democrats not thousand miles from Sprlngdale had stated they did when they voted for him. He hoped Donaghey would make a good governor, and that time would show whether he or those who voted for Donaghey were right in their choise for governor. He said a man who would scratch a Democratic tick ct ought to be bored for the hol- low horn, and that the first time his wife caught him asleep she ought to sew him up in sack and beat him to death.
 He thanked the ladies for their presence, and said time was when the ladies would not come out to hear him speak.
