TAKING OUT MOB INSURANCE
London Property Owners Apparently
Fear Violence of the Hungry
Unemployed.

A genuine novelty in the way of
insurance has just been introduced
in London, called 'mob insurance" :"
1t is taken out by merchants against
possible losses through rioting or
looting by mobs. This does not
mean that merchants fear the suf-
fragettes are about to burst all
bounds and inaugurate a reign of
terror. Protection is rather sought
against the violence of the unem-
ployed, who are unusually numerous
in London this fall, and are likely
to become more so as the winter ap-
proaches. The most active demand
for this queer insurance is in the Vi
cinity of the parliament buildings,
which would naturally be the OBJ
jective point of mob melted to
make demonstration against the
authorities. Nothing may occur to
justify the fears Of the merchants
who are seeking this form of protec-
tion, but it is significant of condi-
tions in the worlds metropolis.

THE AUTOMOBILE CURE.

Motoring having been decried for
a sufficiently long time as nerve
racking sport, a French physician,
DR.. Mounteyrat, now comes forward
with advice to use it as a remedy for
nervous and mental ills. One may
even cure anaemia and sleeplessness,
he assures us, by judicious motor
travel. From observations on the
blood carried on during several
eight-day tours the doctor concludes
that the number of red corpuscles is
increased about twenty-six per cent.

feet being much the same as that of

WoMEN's FEET GROWING!

Prof. Gieler of Munich. after ex-
tensive study in Europe and Amer
lea, has come to the conclusion that
women's feet are rapidly growing
larger. The time may come, he
says, when in the matter of feet
there will be little difference between
the two sexes. He has made careful
measurements of the proportions of
feet on ancient statues, and has COM
pared these measurements with the
feet of modern women, always to the
advantage of the latter. He at
tributes the change to the growing
taste for walking, athletics and other
outdoor exercises. Frenchwomen's
feet are increasing in size at a rapid
rate.

After two years of constant work,
in which many disappointments
were met, the plans of General Man
ager Louis Garrett for the eonstruc-
ton OF an interurban electric rail
way between Little Reek and Hot
Springs are about to be realized.
1t was authoritatiyely announced
Tuesday by General Manager Gar
rett, Of the Little Rock & Hot
Springs Electric Railway company,
and G. J. Kramer, president of the
proposed line, that bids for the con-
struction of the road will probably
be advertised for this week, and
certainly not later than the first of
the year. AS President Kramer
expressed it: eff we are unable to
give the people of Little Rock a
Christmas present, we will certainly
hand them something of value by
New Years. The consummation of
the plans for the construction of
the road was received this week
when word from Eastern capi-
talists that they would furnish
the bulk of the funds necessary to
build the line. This money will be
advanced on bond issue. Con-
struction will start soon after the
contract is let. The road will cost
$1,500,000. OF this, one-fourth
will be obtained from the part sale
of stock to Little Rock and Hot
Springs investors. The remainder
Of the necessary money will be OBJ
tained from a bond issue, for which
Eastern capitalists will subscribe.
The fnanciers have been over the
proposed route several times, the
last time lately. On their return
to the East they conferred with their
associates and agreed to finance the
largest end of the construction ex-
pense. The roads cost, 81, 100000,
will include the expense of right
of-way, construction and equipment.
The length Of the road will be 81
miles. Its terminals will be at the
Marion hotel i'll Little Rock and
the Eastman hotel in Hot Springs,
traffic arrangements with local trac-
tion lines having been made. Termi-
nal waiting rooms will be erected
near the two hotels named when
the road is built.

Buren city council recently reso--
luton was adopted annuling the wa
ter rental contract with the Van
Buren Water company. The reso-
luton set forth at length the terms
of the franchise under which the
company through negligence is al
legged to have failed to supply pure
and wholesome water for a period
greater than 60 days, thus giving
the city under the terms of the
franchise the right to annul the
contract for water rental. P. II.
Morris, of the Second ward, was
the only alderman who voted
against the resolution.
At the recent meeting of the Van
Buren city council a committee
was appointed to ascertain what re-
course the city had against the Fort
Smith Light & Traction company,
or what steps might be taken to
annul the company's franchise for
failure on the company's part to
furnish sucn gas and electric light
service as contemplated by its fran
chise. The committee is expected
to report at the next meeting of
the council.

SYNOPSIS.

Mad" Dan Maitland on reaching his
New York bachelor club. met an attrac-
tive young oman at the door. Janitor
o'Hagan assured him no one had been
within that day. Dan discovered a wom-
ans finger prints in dust on his desk,
along with a letter from his attorney.
Maitland dined with Bannerman. his at
torney. Dan set out for Greenf1elds, to
get his family Jewels. During his walk
to the country seat, he met the young
woman in gray. whom he had seen leav-
Ing his bachelors club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed 1t. By G. ruse she
lost" him. Maitland, on reaching home.
surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe
containing his gems. She, apparently,
took him for a well-known crook, Daniel
Anisty. Half-hypnotized, Maitland opened
his safe. took therefrom the jewels, and
gave them to her, first forming part
nership in crime. The real Dan Anisty,
sought by police of the world, appeared
on the same mission. Maitland overcame
him. He met the girl outside the house
and they sped on to New York in her au-
to. He had the Jewels and she promised
to meet him that day. Maitland received
a "Mr. Snaith," introducing himself as a
detective. To shield the girl in gray,
Maitland about to show him the jew
els. supposedly lost, was felled by blow
from "Snaith's" cane. The latter proved
to be Anisty himself and he secured the
gems. Anisty. who was Maitland's dou-
BILE. masqueraded as the latter. The
criminal kept Maitland's engagement with
the girl in gray. Anisty feared for the
safety of the gems.

endure the paroXysms of shame. That
she should have stopped so low!
Presently the fingers relaxed, and
her whole frame relaxed in sympathy.
The black squat had passed over;
but now were the once tranquil waters
ruff1ed and angry. Then languor
gripped her like an enemy; she lay
listless in it's hold, sick and faint with
disgust of self.
This was her al1-sufficient punish
ment; to have done what she had
done, TO be about TO do what she con-
templated. For she had set her hald
to the plow; there must now be no
drawing back, however hateful might
prove her task.
The voice of the cabby dropping
through the trap, reused her. This is
the Martha Washington, ma'am."
Mechanically she descended from the
hanson and paid her fare; then, sum-
moning up all her strength and reso-
luton, passed into the lobby of the
hotel and paused at the telephone
switchboard.
