Senate Passes Pension Bill.

The senate passed the Leigh bill appropriating SI,ooo, ,ooo for Confederate pensions. This bill will now go to the governor for his approval. The bill repeating the stock law in White county was lost. The Kirsch pardon board bill was reported from the house and an effort was made to reject it, it being declared unconstitutional. The bill was finally referred to the judiciary committee. The Hurst assessment bill was read twice and referred to the same committee. H. B. POS, Leigh and Dunaway preventing cruelty to children and giving the Arkansas Humane So- ciety jurisdiction in such cases, was read twice and made special order of business for Friday morn ing. H.

Story Of the Three Holy Children
and Their Song
BY THE HIGHWAY AND BYWAY"
PREACHER
Copyright. 1908, by the Author, WIS. Edson.)

Based on the Apocryphal Book OF
the Song of the Three Holy Children
The Book as Part Of Daniel.-The Greek
translations of Daniel, like that of
Esther, contain several pieces which are
not found in the original text. The most
important Of these additions are con-
tanned in the Apocrypha of the English
Bible under the titles Of 1.-THE Song Of
the Three Holy Children" 1.-The History
Of Susanna" and the History of Bel
and the Dragon" The first OF these
pieces is incorporated into the narrative
of Daniel. After the three cenfessors
were thrown into the furnace dan.
$3.50, Azarias is represented praying to
God for del%iverance (Song Of the Three
Children 3:22); and in answer, the angel
of the Lord shields them from the fire
which consumes their enemies C3-2O,
whereupon the three, as out Of one
mouth" raise a triumphant sons (29-6S),
Of which a chief part 1866 has been
used as a hymn in the Christian church
since the fourth century. The additions
are found in both the Greek texts, the
Xxx and Theodotion, in the Old Latin
and Vulgate, and in the existing Syriac
and Arabic versions. On the other hand
there is no evidence that they ever
formed part of the Hebrew text, and they
were originally wanting in the Syriac.
Various conjectures nave been made as
to the origin of the additions. 1t has
been supposed that they were derived
from Aramaic originals, but the charac-
ter OF the originals themselves indicates
rather the hand of an A~lexandrine wri-
ter; and it is not unlikely that the trans
lator of Daniel wrought up traditions
which were already current and append
ed them to his work.

Law of Attraction.

The attractions of men to women
and women to men are full of the most
perplexing inconsistencies and contra
dictions imaginable. 1t is, for instance,
a physical law that magnetism is not
simple attraction of one thing for IN
other, but the difference of two oppos-
ing forces of attraction and repulsion,
of which the former is the greater.
The same law holds in relation to the
attraction of men and women for each
other, in which, as a rule, the mascu-
line is the superior force.-T. P.'s

Centuries ago when Babylon was
in the height of her power, and she
had stretched out her mighty arm
and had crushed the fair Jerusalem
and had taken her people and placed
them in exile in the country far to
the east, there were three devout
Jews in the service of the king named
Ananias, Azarias and Misael, or &C
cording to the names given them by
the king and recorded in the Book of
Daniel: Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-

Now 1t came TO pass that the
mighty king, Nebuchadnezzar, had
caused to be made a great image of
gold, which he had set up in the great
plain before the city. And when he
had gathered all the people in that
place, having arranged a great feast
In honor of the image, he command

SKIN ERUPTION CURED.

That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep
Scratched Constantly.
Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven.

when about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. It
began in October; the first I noticed
was a little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then I bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February She has never
had another rough place on her skin.

Forestry Figures.

The forest service is one of the
branches of the government where
everything is not outgo. Last year the
receipts from sales of timber, grazing
fees, and permits for special uses of
forest resources amounted to 81, s42,
PSI. 81, an increase of S271, ,222. 43 over
the 1907 figures.
The amounts paid the states and ter
ritories, to be expended for roads and
public schools from the years receipts,
amounted to S447, 053. 10. Chiefly be-
cause of increasing the revenue to the
states from 10 per cent in 1907 to 25
per cent last year. there was total
increase of 1924, 0S1 90 in the amounts
payable to the states.
In addition, the national forests
yielded heavily to the public in free
use. There were so, permits grant
ed for the free use of timber by set
tiers, schools and churches, during the
year, against II. 399 in 1907.
The grazing receipts for 1908 were

The Wreck at Dotsero.

Perhaps no greater railroad disaster
has ever occurred in the state than
that at Dotsero, a little station above
Glenwood Springs, on the d. &. r. G.
No. 5 passenger was pulling down
grade at so miles an hour and crashed
into double header stock train going
up. Gus Oleson, engineer on the
passenger, claimed to have read his
time wrong and thought he had eight
minutes in which to reach another
siding. He shouldered the blame of
the accident in his badly injured
condition. The conductor on the
passenger train pulled the bell cord
when the speed was not checked at
Dotsero siding and called attention of
passengers to his warning. Immedi-
ately the crash came, the three huge
engines were heaped in pile of scrap
iron, the chair car was telescoped and
% peopled killed, while as many more
were injured, some of whom will die.
Many distressing and horrible stories
are connected with the loss of lives in
the wreck. Children asleep were hur-
ried into eternity almost without
awakening. Tales of suffering and
grief were most heart-rending.
One of the condolences of the wreck
was in the fact that the two Oleson
brothers. engineers, were driving en-
gines on the trains collding.
Few who travel by rail realize that
their lives may be in the balance
against a moment of alteration of mind
on the part or the engineer. but this is
an instance proving how truly it may
be.

Day. is becoming a regular celebration
event, being revived in many good
towns East and West, and that Delta
should try market day." inviting
everybody to town and off fering prizes,
much as they did at "Delta day"
year ago. There is no ques tion but
such enterprise on the part of towns
helps to draw crowd, get the people
together and create general enjoyment
and good feeling. Delta should have
another "Delta day." or Market day
whichever name may be best suited,
and it should be made gala day for
town and country.
