He Lived There All Right.

An anxious father got wind of the
rumor that his son was leading rath-
er a convivial life at college. But
the son strenuously denied the charge
in letters to his father. Still unsatis-
fled, the father made an unexpected
visit to his sons lodging place and,
giving the bell a manly pull, was met
by a grim faced landlady.
Does Mr.. James Smith live here"
asked the father.
HE does" replied the landlady.
Bring him right in"

Finds He is Married.

Batesville, March 25.-Sim Wo- mack who didn't consider pros- poets of welded bliss alluring enough to warrant spending the price of second fee for getting "hitched" and who permitted his hancee to go back to her father's $ home now finds that by waiting two and a half months he has not only saved his dollar but has wife besides, for it has just been estab lished that the first ceremony for which he spent his good money was legal and binding, although it was not considered so from the time it was performed, Jan. ?, un- til this week. Prosecuting Attor- ney w. R. Reese of the I4th judi cial circuit has just passed upon the validity of the appointment of magistrates.

EASY WAY TO GET RABBITS
Trick of Duluth Man May Be Some What Unsportsmanlike, But 1t
 Is Effective.

A Duluth man says he has the newest and best way to catch rab- bits. He finds creek running through a swamp and follows it un- til he comes to a place where the rabbit tracks are thick. Then he scrapes the snow off a large surface of the ice and piles bark and wood in the middle of the space. In the evening just after dark he lights the fire and leaves the spot. In the morning he comes back with pack sack and picks up the rabbits.
 How does he get them?
 It IS this way: When the rabbits see the fire they get curious and go out on the ice. They sit around gaz- ing at the flames until the fire goes out, never noticing that the surface of the ice has melted, and after the heat subsidies they find they are frozen to the ice and unable to move. The man comes around with a club n the morning and kills the rabbits

In Memory of Bro. J. R. Suter

To the Wo1shipful Master, War dens and Brethren of Green Grove Lodge No. Io7 F. & A. M. We, your committee appointed to present suitable resolutions sacred to the memory of Bro. John R. Suter, who departed this life on March IS, 1909, submit the fol- lowing:
 On August 5, 1872, Bro. Suter petitioned this lodge for the de- grees, was initiated on October 5, passed November 9 and raised to the sublime degree of Master Ma son on December IA, 1872, and re- mained true, loyal and jealous Mason until his death.
 On February 22, 1896, he was placed upon the the honorary roll on account of long and faithful services in the lodge and this mark of distinction was to him an oasis Ill the desert spots of life.
 Bro. Suter was born i'll Switzer- land in 1929 and came to the United States when a young man and located in Illinois. Shortly after the close of the civil war, he came to Arkansas and has resided here since, He was one of God S noblemen; honest, faithful, reliable and industrious. Innocent and un- suspecting as a child and knowing himself to be true and honest, he looked upon the human race as honest and good, and seemed not to be able to distinguish between acts of interest and affection.
 Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Suter this lodge has lost a worthy, faithful and valient mem Der; the community a valuable and upright citizen; christianity an ardent and humble follower of the meek and lowly Jesus and the world an honest, honorable man.
 Resolved, That this tribute of respect be published in The Log Cabin Democrat and be spread up- on the minutes of the lodge and that the members wear the usual badge of mourning for 30 days.
 Fraternally submitted this March I9, 1909.

Baked Men.

Workers in porcelain factories are
literally baked, but by some miracle of
use and wont they remain sufficiently
underdone to live. At least If they are
not quite baked they endure stronger
heat than that which browns the Sun

porcelain is finished are kept at the
fercest heat used in any industry. A
chain of workmen, their heads and
bodies swathed in fireproof garments,
take the finished pieces from the fire
one at II time and pass them to the
cooling room. The man at the head
Of this chain-he who stands nearest

A Woman Soldier.

Eleonore Prochaska, born March II,
1855, at Potsdam, was the daughter of
a sergeant. After being brought up in
the military orphanage of that town
she became a cook in some citizens
house. When the great war against
Napoleon broke out in 1913 she was
led away by enthusiasm to quit her
town secretly. By selling her poor be-
longings she procured male attire and
weapons and enlisted under the name
Of August REM in the Lutzow corps.
On account of her tall, slender figure
her sex was not discovered until she
was mortally wounded. This happened
in the encounter in the Gohrde forest,
Regierungsbezirk, Luneburg, Kreis
Dannenberg, Sept. 1G. 1913. The Prus-
slams were there attempting to storm
a hill occupied by the French, she act
ing as drummer. In 1868 monu-

other in 1889 in the old churchyard of

What's In a LabsI.

There Is good deal Of art In adver-
tlsing, and 1t has to be adapted to the
public it seeks to meet. Edward
Reeves in Brown Men and Women"
makes clear that what attracts the
American market may not serve that
purpose in the islands of the south
seas. He tells an experience which a
food firm had with one of those sea
girt communities. The natives get
very tired of fish, but are fond of
canned beef, which they buy when
ever they have money. That they are
nothing more than children in their
ideas the traders find out to their cost
IL they are not careful. An exporter
of canned meat was nearly ruined by
clinging to the trademark Of drag
On's head. Shipment after shipment
was sent out from San Francisco, each
can branded with the flaming dragon.
The natives shuddered at the sight of
the hideous thing They were not go
ing to eat the disgusting beast In
vain the agents tore Off the labels; the
natives were suspicious and would not
buy. The whole shipment had to be
returned and put In fresh cans with q
fat OK or sheep on the label All the
natives fully believed that the figure
on the label was true picture OF what
was inside.

The Water Clock,

The earliest application Of the clep-
sydra principle to produce motion was
by Tsiang Hung, A. d. 126, who made
an "orrery" representing the apparent
motion of the heavenly bodies around
the earth, which was kept going by
dropping water. In the sixth century
Of the Christian era an instrument was
in use in China which indicated the
course of time by the weight Of water
as 1t gradually came from the beak of
bird and was received in a vessel
on a balance, every pound representing
a one-hundredth part Of the day Of
twenty-four hours. About this time
mercury began to be employed in
clepsydras instead Of water.
