Twin Lambs.

An experienced breeder says that in
the case Of twins it is well to pace
them with the mother in a small, sep
arate pen for a day or two, in order
that they may become acquainted, and
to avoid the danger of one of the lambs
straying away, which may cause trou-
ble., When lambs are born weakly
more care is required, and unless the
shepherd is with them to see that they
are sucked soon after birth they are
liable to become chilled and die. If
the lamb is too weak to stand up and
suck, it should be held up and some
milk MIXED into it's mouth, when it
will soon take the teat and help itself,
or the eve may be gently laid upon her
side and the lamb brought to the teat
on it's knees or side, and held, as above
indicated.

Do many housewives realize what
delicious sweet results when Spanish
chestnuts are added to the homely
breakfast dish Of stewed prunes? This
Is a foreign confection worthy the at
tention of Yankee cooks. We use it as
dessert when other ideas fail, rather
than matutinally, as prunes are served.
Wash and soak prunes over night as
usual. Boil chestnuts twenty minutes
after cutting a slit in each shell. Peel,
removing shell and the disagreeable in
ner skin. Then stew with the prunes.

 Grafton contest

Before a large number of graiu- attes of Heudrix College and visit ors, the annual alumni program was given at Hendrix auditorium this morning. The meeting was presided over by Prof w F. Hogan
 The program opened with a vocal duet by Misses Courtney and Maddox Ward Riggin of the junior class then read the senior prophecy, humorous forecast of the future of the class of 1909. After a violin duet by Misses Hartley and Little, the address of the occasion was delivered by Hon. M E. Dunaway of Little Rock, of the class of 1905 MT. Dunaway $ subject was Siren Songs and Singleness of Purpose. " Easing his theme upon the familiar incl
 dent of Ulysses fastening himself to the mast of his ship to prevent from being lured to destruction by the song of the sirens, he said tn at men today should lash themselves to the mast of steadfast purpose, to avoid being lured by present day evils from safe voyage to the port of successful career
 Singleness of purpose, enthusiasm and courage, said the speaker, were the predominant character istic of all who had attained sue cess or fame in life. A steadfast adherence to these characteristics, he said, would bring success long b fore man reaches his declining years.

livan brought with him plans for the reconstruction of the switching yards and also exhibited drawing in colors of a proposed new paSsen- ger depot. The latter is to be a handsome building of pressed brick trimmed with stone and tile roof. 1t is to be located just op- posite the presen 1t freight depot on the west side of the track. MT. Sullivan proposes to move the cot ton platform and seed houses to the east side of the track, just south of the present depot and fence in two small p arks at either end of the new passenger depot on the west side. The team track, according to .the plans, would be run from a point about opposite the front of Durham & Holman s office south of the cotton ware house.
 The only objection upon the part ot the city to the plans IS the limited space which would be left for street purposes surrounding the square. MT. Sullivan indi- cated that the company would be willing to surrender more ground for this purpose ill consideration of all equal amount elsewhere, and it is likely that some sort of an ar engagement will be agreed upon within the next few weeks.
 MT. Sullivan came in a special train, arriving from Little Rock about Q o'clock. In his party were Assistant General Manager J. w. Higgins of St. Louis, Gen eral Superintendent w. J. Mckee of Little Rock, General Attorney l.. P. Miles of Fort Smith and Trainmaster C. B. Wildman ot Van Buren, besides a number of clerks and stenographers. The party left at noon for Fort Smith.
