A FATAL CARD. ::
How II Killed the Religious Depart.
msnt Of the London Times.

How Il Killed the Religious Depart.
msnt Of the London Times.
When the Thunderer decided to de-
vote one or more Of its columns daily
to an ecclesiastical department all Eng
land sat up and admired. The man
chosen to conduct the column was a
rather elderly and occasionally con-
vivial younger son who for years had
contributed church news to the paper.
but had never dreamed that he should
attain the extreme honor Of actually
becoming one Of the editors OF the
Thunderer. that world shaking power.
The promotion went to his head, made
him dizzy. He saw himself a power
in the land, one whe perhaps would
make or unmake ecclesiastical digni.
tarieg.
On the morning of the announcement
Of the new venture the new incumbent
came into town on his usual train from
Surbiton, his head swimming with de-
light At the foot of Ludgats hill he
met an old friend. whom he forthwith
led into the Green Dragon bar.
Arthur" said he. I'VE really must
celebrate. What d. you suppose has
happened? Oh. you'd never, never
dream 1t! Look! What d. you say to
that, old boy!"
"That" was a newly engraved card
on which appeared this announcement:
MR.. CECIL APPLEBY BoTsFoRD-
HETHERINGToN.
Ecclesiastical Editor. The Thundersr.
"My word, old chap. it's the most de-
lightful news I've heard in an agew
cried his friend. Lets have just one
more. y'.re's to you! SUGGEST"
Before he reached Temple Bar the
ecclesiastical editor had met Eve other
friends. To tn nth he observed:
cd We know. Ned. with that card I
could call on the ar-archbish'p 4 Can
terbury. Yes. He'd see me immediate
ly. won'erf'l card this. Indicates posi-
ton 4 strordinary responsibility m
dignity"
Hallway to the once Of the Thunder
er Mr.. Botsford- Hetherington hailed q
hanson.
Have you," he inquired, with much
gravity-"have you fast and well ap-
pointed cab? Yes? Very well, then.
You may drive me to Lambsth palace"
At the palace a footman took one of
the new cards and conducted the own
er of it to a pleasant reception room,
where he snuggled in q vast chair and
instantly went to sleep.
The archbishop Of Canterbury hap
pened to be very busy with bis chap
lain, but at the sight of the card he
felt sure that something Of importa nee
was at hand and sent bis chaplain to
inquire. That tall. slender. dark. ascot.
ic gentleman strobe slowly to the re.
ception room and after a slight but
decorous struggle succeeded in waking
the caller.
His grace" said the chaplain. "begs
to know now he can serve the Thun-
derer?"
Tell his grace" responded Mr.. Bots
ford that I'm awfly
busy thinking and I'm sorry 1 shan't
be able to see him till tomorrow. Very
sorry"
Forthwith be relapsed into slumber.
Two sturdy men deposited him in his
fast and well appointed cab and order
ed the driver to deliver him at the Of
fee Of the Thunderer. There the &C.
clesiastical editor and the ecclesiastical
department simultaneously vanished

SUNBURN DOES
 NOT GIVE HEALTH
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 Again are many young men and maid ems, with not a few of their elders, walk ing, running and variously riding about the country with heads barred to the sun. They do this despite many incidental discomforts and a decided 1iminution 't such personaj charms as they may pos sess, from a notion that such exposure somehow eonduces to health. We cannot at the moment think of any belief that has less of fact for foundation than this one, since it has none at all. On the con- tary, for a white man or woman to go pareheaded under the tropic sun of an American summer is distinctly and se- riously injario us, a statement that cah- not be doubted by anybody who will give q little intellectual consideration to the known effects of fervid sunlight on light ly pigmented skins. or will call to mind how the more successful and brainy races living in hot countries dress theni- selves.
 The Arab, though a swarthy fellow, wraps himself closely, head and all, in the volumnious folds of a heavy woolen garment before he ventures on q desert journey, while all through the hot parts of the east men of the higher and ruling classes, instead of going with bare heads, wear enormous turbans. In neither case, probably, is the costume a conscious adaptation to climatic necessities, but lie men who through the centuries have thus protected themselves have survived and prospered, while those who did not do it have either died out or have sunk to the level of the commonest laborers, stupid and hopeless
 This is the lesson of universal expe- rience, but it is unheeded by our bare headed brigade, who cling to the delusion that anybody who is deeply tanned must inevitably be in rugged health As a matter of fact tan has nothing to 10 with health, except as it is a protection from sunburn, and as it usually goes with an outdoor life and the Inhalation Of much fresh air. Instinct, the infallibe guide. prompts everybody except negroes to keep in the shade when the sun is hot and bright; it is only fallacious reason ing from inadequate and misunderstood data that leads foolish white folks to dis card their hats in summer

Parsons RAstinn Well.

Thomas Parsons, who was cut during a difficulty with A. J. Caldwell day be- fore yesterday, is resting well today, and unless some unlocked for complications set in his wounds are not considered se- rious. Caldwell came in and gave himself up this morning when he heard that there was warrant for his arrest, charging him with assault with intent to murder, and made the required bond of 5000 to await preliminary hearing before Jus tice Gum, set for August 3.
 Parsons was doing some work on the county roads that run by Caldwells s place, and 1t is said that trouble arose between the two well-known men over the proposed digging of a ditch, to which Caldwell objected being dug on his place. and as result of the fight that fol- lowed Parsons has a knife wound in his back and several about the head.

The Tactful Doctor.

From Success Magazine.
 A physician in a small town in North ern Michigan got himself into a serious predicament by his inability to remember names and people One day while mak- ing out patients receipt his visitor s name escaped him. Not wishing to ap- pear so forgetful, and thinking to get clew, he asked her whether she spelled her name with an e or 1. The lady smil- fngly replied, ''Why, doctor, my name is Hill.''

A Close Call.

Lightning struck the home of D. W. Owen, superintendent of the mines at Ishkooda today almost completely demol- ishing 1t, but causing no injury to the occupants of the house.
 Mr. r.-and Mrs. Owen and little child were seated at the dinner table and the serv- ant was in the kitchen when the lightning struck the roof, tearing of a greater portion of it, and also tearing out almost one entire side of the house, yet not a scratch did any of them receive. which is most remarkable incident as the house will have to be practically entirely rebuilt.

Dr. VinsonhaIer a Consul.

Dr. F. Vinsonhaler of Little Rock has received the appointment of Bel gian consul for the state of Arkansas. His appointment. which was secured by Paul Hageman of Philadelphia, Bel gian consul general to the United States, arose from a chance remark made at dinner party in Little Rock when Mr. Hagefnan was here last winter.
 Mr. Hageman was the guest Of the XIV. Club at a dinner in the home of H. F. H. Eberts. During the evening, one of the members of the club re- marked that there are now two Bel gians in Little Rock, MT. Hagaman and Dr. Vinsonhaler. Immediately afterward. Mr. Hageman went to Dr. Vinsonhaler and asked him if he was a native of Belgium. Dr. Vinsonhaler replied that his family had emigrated from Belgium over POO years ago.
 From this incident Dr. Vinsonhaler appointment resulted.

Expect New Industries.

Al the luncheon of the Business Mems League, held Wednesday in the Southern Trust building, Charles Me Kee, vice-preSident of the State Ma tional bank, spoke in an encouraging way of the rice mill and handle fac tory fo" Little Rock He is certain both industries will be located in Little Rock in less than a year.
 Both of these industries will be backed mainly, if not entirely, by Lit tie Rock and Arkansas capital. At the most conservative estimate, MT. Mckee believes it means the actual investment of S15c00 for the handle factory. While all the plans of the handle factory have not been worked out, it is possible it will mean the establishing of main plant at Little Rock for finishing the product and subsidiary plants in the state
 Little Rock is in the heart of one of the finest hickory wood districts in the United States. There may be better fields for hickory" said MT. Me Kee, but do not know where they are" Hickory finds it's main commer- cial use in the making of handles,
 River transportation was discussed, but the rice mill and handle factory had the right of way"

Three-Cent Rate Now Prohibited.

The order issued by the Arkansas Railroad Commission prohibiting the trunk lines of Arkansas from enforc- ing the Scent passenger rate in this state went into effect at 12:01 o'clock Monday morning.
 The commission will probably tol- low the same course taken in the freight rate controversy and order a hearing, to be held some time this week, at which the railroads will be asked to show cause why the commis- sion should not prosecute them for failure to comply with the order which went into effect Monday morning. The railroads will refuse to comply with the order, as they did in the freight rate case, and it is generally under stood that the commission will not accept the arguments of the railroads at the hearing to be held. As the re- suit it is thought suits similar to the two filed by Prosecuting Attorney Campbell Saturday against the Iron Mountain and Rock Island for the fail ure of those roads to comply with the commissions order regarding freight rates will be filed by the states at torneys.

State Capital Notes
Delegates are Appointed.

Realizing the vast importance to Arkansas of a large and enthusiastic delegation in Washington during the days of the River and Harbors Con gress next month, Governor Pindail has completed a lengthy list of ap- pointments as delegates and every man named will be a live advocate of Arkansas interests in river i'm provement The list is made up large ly of citizens in those sections wnere the need of river improvement IS most keenly fel:, which is very logl- cal idea. since they are not only more interested but shave better grasp of the manner in which ex- isting conditions should be met and remedied.
 Governor Pindall himself will at tend unless some contingent matter of State importance interferes. He has named the following gentlemen as delegates. and notice of their ap- pointment being sent out by Secre- tary I tile:
 G. E. Beech, Medford; Luther Sul- livan. Watson; c. T. Blackwood, Yan- cepin; l.. E. Burnett, Pendleton; Charles Dupree, Watson; Dan k. Ryan Red Fork; J. E. Peoples, Red Fork: l. N. Moore, Dumas; Floyd Massey, Watson: Gus Waterman, Dumas; w. k. Kirby, Warner; J. Hellums, Grady; John Wainwright, South Bend; Walker Jones. Cummings; s. A. Woods, Saras- so; H. D. Palmer, Star City; D. C.. Bell, Pine Bluff; James Gould, Pine Bluff; George R. Lacey, Arkansas City: J. w. Tender, Richland; c. H. Haley Richland J. S. Ross, Arkansas City; w. A. Martin, Capt. Pat Henry. Henrico; Douglas Jordan, Capt George Adams, w. w Mecham, I-aconia; Capt Charles Blackburn. Avenue; Hon. John Ike Moore, Helena; J. k. Bish. F. F. Kitchens, Helena: Joe De- Marks, Arkansas City; w. w. Boles. Arkansas City.
 In addition to these the appoint ments include all members of the St. Francis Levee Board, the Red River Improvement Association, all sheriffS and county clerks of Eastern Arkan- sas counties.
 Governor Pindall has taken unusual care in the selection of delegates, and it is safe to say that the State that exceeds Arkansas in number of dele gates or enthusiasm at the congress will not be found among the sister states aurallV distant from the nation al capitol.

American Farmer.

The American is on top. He hold. the destiny of this country in his grasp and yet he is not grasping.
 He makes few demands and asks few favors
 He only wants what properly belongs to him and if these things are secured every interest in the nation is served.
 Among the few things which he craves is to be governed so econimi' caIly. that the burden of taxes may be lowered.
 He asks for lower freight rates that the products of his farm may reach market where the consumer can pur chase and consume.
 He asks that the laws which place an unjust burden on him be repealed that exact justice to all may be se cured
 He abhors all laws granting special privileges and opposes all measures which build up fortunes for one class and impose burdens upon another class.
 He lays no claim to superior cltizsn, shin but looks with suspicion upon the svcopbant who lawns at his feet.
 He admires manly independence of the seeker after political prefer, ment and dispises fraud and political cowardice.
 He is courageous and generous. ratient and forgiving; but will never ,,,hsor;be to the doctrine that the spoils belong to the victor.
 He knows that there should be no spoils. for spells are tainted with de. ception and deception is born or corr,,ntion. .-Oklahom Farmer.
