OUR LITTLE
ROCK LETTER

Little Rock, Dec. 10. (Special)
Walter Cotter, the cotton broker
in the city, yesterday stated he
firmly believes the next legislature
will repeal the anti-futures bill and
permit the brokers to again operate
in Arkansas, though he stated he
would have nothing to do with
the legislature or work to have the
act repealed.
The south is now at the
mercy of New York, said Mr..
Cotter, "and cotton is fully two
cents per pound lower than it
would be if the brokers were doing
business in the south. The farm
ers are finding this out, and they
will themselves ask for the repeal
of the act sooner or later. If there
was any chance to deal in futures,
5000, 900 or more bales would be
held back and thus aid the farm
ers in their fight for higher prices,
when now the cotton must all go
on the market, and the farmer re-
ceives what new York is willing
to pay"

Unfortunately the explosion of the
stokehold had killed the chief engineer
and one of his juniors, while six stok-
ers were dead and several injured.
1t was discovered that before he died
the chief had shut off steam and thus
prevented the accident from assuming
far more serious proportions. The sec
ond engineer, Newcastle man named
Walker, who rushed to the engine
room at the first indication of mis-
hap. found his chief lying in collapse

the steam to escape freely; then he

of the explosion differed little from the
thunderous blows of the sea. but the
stopping of the engines awoke him in

The stewards. most of whom under

asking for help in a situation which
they we'll knew to be desperate. They
drew near reverently and even joined
in the simple lines:

During the brief silence which fol-

FRECKLES REMOVED
BY HOME TREATMENT

AS a rule. when playing only a strict OBJ
servance of the customs of polite society
can prevent the feelings Of some one being
hurt. 1t is an unfortunate and odd fact
apt than any other slight thing to strain
friendship. and women otherwise polite
become shining examples of rudeness.
Most women play cards 20 win the
game. Perhaps. a s is sometimes said, they
are born gamblers. Be that as it may.
there are few who can lose with good
grace. and to learn to accept defeat
courteously. even though j., be through
the stupidity. and not the bad hands. of a
partner. is lesson that cannot be too
quickly acquired.
The difficulty OF being agreeable when
losing may be lessened for a woman by
remembering that she is playing for d-
version. not for gain: and also that to find
fault is the height af bad manners
Need of Courtesy.
Punctilliousness is undoubtedly the key
note to courtesy in ar invitations to card
parties. and in the manner of conducting
one self afterward. AS soon as the invi-
tatioE is received it should be acknowl-
edged, being either refused or accepted. To
keep hostess waiting for Sc veral days is
NEST inconslderate and not good form. for
to play cards fixed number of guests is
necessary, ana unless the hostess receives
refusal in time to substitute another
friend her whole afternoon may go awry.
The invitation should always be &C
knowledged in the precise form in which ii
Is received. If 1t comes on a visiting card
the date being written and Bridge or
Euchre' at a certain hour. the answer
must be written out formally in the third
person. 1t is no longer considered good
form to return a visiting card with re-
SretS or acceptance.
An informal note of invitation takes an
informal response.
Well-bred guests make it rule to be
as prompt for card party as for a din
ner. Only when all are present can the
game begin. and none has the right to
keep roomful waiting. In cases where
guest is delayed 1t is expected that her
excuse will be a good one.
from the moment of beginning the game
each player should remember that it de-
wolves upon her to pay strict attention, to
play her best and under no circumstances
to critlcise. She is not likely to do the
latter when not interested in the game
but when Indifferent the fact is all too
apt TO be patent in the carelessness OF
her own play. This Is not only incon-
slderate to her partner. but rude to both
her and the hostess. Each guest knew
before accepting that she had been invit-
ed for cards, and did she not care TO play

issue Paper Effective.

Another simple way of stopping nose
bleedings is to wind a piece of tissue pa
per about two inches long into a tight roll
half the size of the little finger This is
then placed in the mouth under the upper
lip. as far up as 1t can go. OF course, this
brings 1t just beneath the nose. and with
the tongue the roll is kept in position.
The advantage of this is that the PAGER
presses against the arteries leading to the
nasal passage. and stops the blood before
1t can reach them.
This has the merit of being simple and
inoffensive and acts quickly.
In very severe cases. tying a handker-
chief around the arms and legs making
the bandages tight enough to stop cir
culation. effectually stops the nose from
bleeding. In removing the bandages. all
must not be taken OF at once. but each
one slowly. that the blood may not flow
quickly, breaking out again at the weak
place. When the bleeding is so severe as
to require this treatment. 1t would be well

FATAL DOSE OF WOOD ALCOHOL
DEATH OF MRS. NELLIE JOYCE
IN HOSPITAL.
Coroner Decides Woman Had Not
Intended neutrality-suspicious.
for Funeral

Mrs Nellie Joyce. thirty-four years of
age died at the Emergency Hospital this
morning about $50 O'Clock. death having
resulted from drinking wood alcohol. The
coroner concluded that the woman did not
take the fluid for the purpose Of ending
her life. but thought she had probably
taken it as substitute for another bever-
age.
Mrs Joyce came here from York. Pa.
about two weeks ago to act as demon
strator in a department store. her hus-
band following her week later. They
occupied rooms at 1O02 18th street north
west. where. 1t is stated they did their
cooking. eating and sleeping. Ut was
stated to the coroner that the wood alco-
hol had been purchased to use i'm cook
ing stove. The husband of the young
woman j. A. Joyce. last night saw her
have the alcohol bottle in her hand and
feared she had drunk some Of its con-
tents He knew she had used it last
week and had to be given hospital treat
ment. and last night he asked her if she
had taken any of it.
Husbands Discovery.
1t is said her answer was that she had
not touched the liquid and he thought
nothing more of the incident until this
morning about $50 o'clock when she be-
came ill., He then detected the odor of
wood alcohol and realized what she had
done The ambulance was summoned
from the Emergency Hospital and the
sick woman was hurried to that institu
ton. Her death ensued about one hour
after she reached the institution.
Mr.. Joyce remained at the hospital
from the time his wife was taken there
until after the case had been disposed of
by the coroner. He was employed by the
telephone company in York, and after
ward by the gas company. leaving the
employment of the latter corporation to
come here with his wife. Arrangements
were made to have a local undertaken
take charge of the body and prepare it
for burial. 1t is likely that the body will
be taken to York for interment.
