LINE TO
 BE REBUILT

Several car loads ot material have been stored here by the South western Telegraph and Telephone Co.,, to be used in rebuilding their line from Little Rock to Fort Smith. Manager J. A. Frisby of the local exchange states that the work of reconstruction has already begun at Little Rock and that the gangs will soon reach Conway. The company has secured right-of- way from the railroad company and their line will be moved few feet inside instead of just outside the light-of-way as it is at present.

NEW PRIEST WELL LIKED
Father Zell who Succeeded Father Feger is
 Popular with Catholic Congregation.

Father Zell who Succeeded Father Feger is
 Popular with Catholic Congregation.
 Rev. Father P. Zell who recent ly succeeeed Rev. Father A. Feger as pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church in this city has already won the affection of his congregation and is one of the most popular priests that the local church has had in years. Rev. Zell came here last month. He was previous ly pastor of St. Anthony's church of Millvale, Pa, and St. Mary S church of Detriot, Mich. For the past four years he has devoted his time in serving missions to the German-speaking Catholics all over the country, especially in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan. He speaks huently three languages, English, French and German, and will address the congregation every Sunday inEng- lishitwice month at the same time either in German or i'll French.
 Rev. Zell invites every one to at tend the services. He also says to his people that if anyone desires to consult him upon any question for them to feel free to call at his office at any hour.
 Some improvements are now being made upon the rectory, among them being the installation of electric lights.
 Rev. Feger, the retiring pastor, who has served his people for sev- eral years, is also much loved by his congregation. Feeble health, however, has prevented him from being more active ill the pastoral work, and of late 1t has become necessary that he should have a period of rest. He will remain here until the end of winter, after which he will go to Pittsburg, Pa, where home for priests is main tained.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
VII. Depositing Your Money in the Bank.


 Would you take five twenty-dollar bills from your trunk, roll them in a wad and drop it through the keyhole of bank?
 Would that be the way to deposit SIoo.oo?
 No; as a sensible business man, you would enter during banking hours, make out a deposit slip, hand it with the money through the cashiers window, and receive proper credit in your pass book.
 So, in paying out good money for real estate, the same business wisdom die tates that you require the simple formal ity of an abstract of title. It is the only safe way.

POINT DU GARD.
An Ancient Concrete Bridge In the
South Of France.

An Ancient Concrete Bridge In the
South Of France.
In the south of France is a concrete
arch bridge known as the Pont du
Gard, which was erected in the year
SO b. G. The concrete in this was not
composed OF crushed stone or other
small aggregate of the variety now EN-
ployed in concrete bridge work, but
was of the old style, consisting Of al
ternate layers of large and small
stones, gravel, ETC., and Of cement
tious materials. vitruvius describes
the materials and methods In use be-
fore the Christian era, and other
writer's like Albert in 1S45 and Pol
ladio in 1870 accurately describe the
method which 1.-The ancients" (as they
call them) employed "of using boards
laid on edge and filling the space be
tween with cement and all sorts Of
gether."
1t is very improbable that the Pont
du Gard would have withstood the
rigors of climate Of the northern
United States. but its actual state of
preservation, as well as that of many
other specimens Of ancient concrete
work, proves that II modern work l.
honestly executed 1t will many times
outlast any reasonable bond period. so
that very small yearly sinking fund
per cent Is all that Is required for
properly designed and erected concrete
work.-Cement Age.

SHOCKED THE HOSTESS.
A Practical Joke That Was Perpe-

A Practical Joke That Was Perpe-
trated by Eugene Field.
There are many stories incident to
the career Of the late Eugene Field,
who not only wrote songs for the chill.
dren. but who was at times fond of
practical jokes, which illustrate his in
imitable humor.
On one occasion he played an unex-
pected part at a dinner given In honor
of himself and his wife which, while
II had Its serious side, was made all
the more enjoyable by the grave de-
pertinent of Mr.. Field.
The dinner was given by a leading
Chicago family. When all were seat
ed. Mr.. Field repaired to the pantry,
only to return in a few moments with
a dozen or more costly gold embroid-
cred wineglasses, the property Of the
hostess, which, to her silent astonish-
ment, he proceeded to hand over to
each guest one by one. souvenir of
the occasion.
Great was the merriment when it
was realized that the hostess had not
contemplated parting with her cher
ished glasses. But Mr. Field was not
yet content. Returning them to the
pantry by previous arrangement with
the butler. he took up tray Of old
bottles and other broken glassware
and, pretending to stumble, dropped 1t
on the floor. apparently shattering the
valuable wineglasses.
The feelings of the hostess may be
imagined, for 1t was some time before
the real situation was understood.

The marvels of friction are infinite.
The use of the sand blast for polishing

now 1t il followed by that of blast
of simple hot air. 1t is the velocity
that gives the polishing power. The
articles to be treated are placed in a

at II very high speed. and heated air is
blown FROM pipe through the basket.
high polish is thus produced very
rapidly. Nickel plated articles that
