THE THINKERS OF THE PAST
Friedrich Nietzsche Makes Comparison of Their Methods and Those
 of the Present Day.

Why does this thought enter and reenter my mind, and flash upon me in eyer-varying brilhancy ?-that, in times of yore, explorers, in their search after the origin of things, al- ways expected to find a something which might be of invaluable impor- tance to every action and judgment :; whereas now, the farther we trace the origin the less we feel con- cerned about our interests. The in significance of the origin increases in proportion to our insight into the origin; whereas the things nearest to, around, and within ourselves gradually begin to display color and beauty, puzzles and riches of greater importance than the older humanity ever dreamed of. Formerly thinkers used to move furiously about like captured beasts, intently watching the bars and their cages, and leaping up against them in order to smash them. Happy was he who fancied that he could spy through a gap something of the outside, something of the world to come and of the far away !-Friedrich Nietzsche.
 Ten years ago two energetic young women decided to open a tea room in Wellesley village, where the col lege students could get luncheons if they desired to take afternoon tea. It was so successful that corpora tion was formed, outsiders putting money into the enterprise. Now the corporation has changed into the Wellesley Inn corporation, and it is quite fourishing business. It is now a college clubhouse and the la- dies at the head of the organization are very proud of its success.

AN OLD-WORLD CLOCK.

One of the most remarkable sur vivaIs of primitive time-mcasuring appliances in England, says the De- cember Strand Magazine, may be found to-day amongst the flint knapp pers of Brandon. It consists of a candle stuck into a candle-stick often made of a lump of chalk, or of a psece of perforated draught brick. Into the candle are fixed tiny splint- CTS of flint at intervals, ascertaiued by experience, of one hours burning duration, so that when splinter drops the knapper knows he has worked one hour, and so on, and is thus able to ascertain how many gun fints he turns out in given time.

A NEAR RECOGNITION.

They were hurrying up the sub way steps in the Times building. Each one gave the other look of recognition, and then there was a handshake and this conversation
 "WcIl, l am glad to see you. Where and how have you been since last we met?'
 "Oh about town, same old busi- ness. You're looking pretty we'll. What are you doing in town"
 "Oh, down town as usual. Where is your office now?"
 Right in this building. By the way" as he was about to enter the elevator, somehow l can't exactly place you"
 ''Weli," said the other, q cant place you at all" And as they sep aratcd each wondered what was in the others mind.-New York Times

THE BUSINESS OF BEGGING
As in All Other Lines of Endeavor, It Is Industry That Commands
 Success.

'"There are" said a man who him. self lives without laboring, "beggars who put art into their work, who size up the man they are about to strike and determine on the best manner of approach, and then there are lazy beggars who use always the same formula, without regard to the man or the season; and you can easily imagine which of these two men gathers in the most money. But even the least inventive of beggars can make a living if he will only keep begging even in his humdrum way.
 "For, after all. it is everlastingly keeping at 1t that counts The lazy beggar who keeps at it, even in his lazy fashion, may indeed make more money in the long run than the man of talent who works only intermit- tently: so true is it that by industry we thrive, in begging as in all things else.'

4 TRIP TO DEATH VALLEY

The best novelty of the season will be brought to Conway when Trip to Death Valley will be shown in moving pictures for the first time ill our city. These pictures have been shown to thousands throughout the country and have given excellent satisfaction wherever pro duced. These pictures were taken at a great expense, from the front of train, going the entire length of Death Valley, and give those ill attendance an exact reproduction of this world famous Val ley.
 The trip begins at Ludlow, California, which is the junction of the Santa Fe and Tonopah and Tidewater railroad. Ludlow is town built in the heart of a desert wherein nothing grows naturally except sage-bush. A change of cars $ made here and after scenes around Lud- low, the trip on the Tonopah and Tide water railroad, going through the Amar- gosa Canyon on the way to Death Val ley, showing one of the greatest eng1- neering feats ever accomplished ln rail road construction work.
 After leaving the Amargosa Canyon, the balance of the trip is through the heart of Death Valley, showing the country which has always been looked upon with horror.
 After going the entire length of Death Valley, moving pictures are then showr of the Lila C. Mines in operation, the largest borax mines in the world. Pic lures are also shown of Death Valley Sink, 278 feet below sea level It is said to be the lowest spot on the face of the earth.
 Death Valley received its name 1T 1850. In that year a party of emigrants attempted to use the desert as a short cut to the gold field and perished from lack of water. The temperature here registers as high as I4o degrees and wat CT is extremely scarce.
 These pictures, which were taken re gently, are the only moving pictures which were ever taken of this famous valley, and it will give our many read CTS, who are fortunate enough to re ceive tickets, an opportunity to see this great valley, as it IS today.
 Tickets are free and can be obtained from your grocer or druggist while the supply lasts.
 Two nights, Friday and Saturday January P and 23. Three shows eacl night, at 7, s and 9 o'clock. Remem Der the place, next door north of Com mercial Hotel.

PARSEL CASE IS ON TRIAL
Slayer of Ehrenberg Faces Murder Charge
 in Pulaski Circuit Court.

Little Rock, Jan. p. 22.-Special.-
 Officers had to be sent into the
 country yes terday afternoon
 to get jurymen to try the Par
 sel murder case, which is now pro- gressing slowly in the circuit court. The jury was not complet- ed until the middle of the after noon and until after Judge Lea de- cided it was no longer practical to try for jurymen in Little Rock. Dr. G. M. D. Cantrell was the first witness called and he testified to the nature of the wounds ill the body. Former Coronor s. P. Vaughter was the next witness and he testified to the same facts. They both testified Ehrenberg had been shot in the back once. There were number of wounds in his body. This morning the state continued to introduce its testi- mony. The witnesses have testi- fled as to the position of the body when it was found in the plumb ing shop and to seeing Parsel and Ehrenberg talking together at a work bench near the window short time before the shooting.
 One condition which is being dealt considerably upon is that Parsel dragged the body of Ehren- berg beneath a work bench, or he crawled there and was shot in the back as he was doing so. The de- fense has witnesses to prove that this could not have been done as the heavy dust on the floor showed no signs of a body being dragged, and there were no bullet holes in the floor, as would have been the case had Ehrenberg been shot after he was down. The defense claims Ehrenberg could have been shot in the back as he was falling.

INDIAN WOMEN GOOD NURSES.

In some of the eastern hospitals Indian girls are taking courses in nursing, and are said to make the best kind of nurses. Application was made to Commissioner F. E.
