GOOD WORD FOR THE RAT.

Had it not been for a wire roll used in dressing the hair, Gertrude Brown, the 14-year-old daughter of P. s. Brown, would undoubtedly have lost her life when she was thrown from her horse the other aft ernOon.
 It so happened that Miss Brown had rolled her hair higher than usual and so the wire rat received the brunt of the fall. The injury was directly under the roll and was a jagged three-cornered hole. The girl fell on the back of her head upon loose stone in the street and the wire roll covered with hair kept the stone from fracturing the skull. Kansas City Journal.

FEARED FATE OF COMPANION
Possible Reason Why Dog Refused to Wear Collar That Belonged to
 Dead Chum.

A New York physician told this story recently in a little company where pet animals were being dis cussed: "We had two little pets. a Bohemian and a King Charles
 They were both bright, we'll behaved and affectionate, with a weakness for the baby and candy, They were SC much members of the family that when presents were distributed Tip and Rex were often remembered
 Once they got new collars, with 8 high key bell on one and a bell of lower note on the other. The Blen. helm, short time ago, got mixed up with the wheels of an automobile and went to dog paradise, and there was mourning in the nursery. A few days later the maid, before talk. ing him out, put the collar on Rex, but instead of jumping for the door, as he usually does, he howled and slunk back into the railways. Noth- ing could induce him to follow the maid, and when she tried to carry him he growled and showed his teeth
 and the cry went through the house that Rex is mad It was discovered that the dead dogs collar had been put on by mistake, and when this was removed he was himself again. It was evident that he would not wear his former companions bell"

ENERGY OF FLAT WHEELS.

The enormous energy developed by flat spot in wheel has been estimated by Prof. Hancock of Pur- due university. He finds that flat spot 212 inches long on a 33-inch wheel, carrying load of 6,000 pounds at 30 miles per hour, will deliver a blow to the rail of more than 1,000-foot pounds. The same flat wheel supporting a 55-ton inter- urban car running at 60 miles per hour, would deliver a blow with an energy of 9,500-foot pounds. Such flat spot would be produced by wearing off less than 0.05-inch of metal.

WORK OF ROADS CONVENTION
Much New Legislation is Recom-
 mended.
State Supervision is Favored and Govern OTIS Plan of Working Convicts
 on Roads is Approved.

Little Rock, Jan. 2S.-Special.- Their labors performed, the dele gates to the Arkansas Good Roads Association left last night for their homes, determined to do during the coming year what the most brilliant advocated in the way of building good roads in every To- cality of the state. The last days session was filled with short speeches, several score telling of their experience in road building. Every speaker devoted some little time to the excellent qualities of ce- ment and its superiority over every thing else for bridges and culverts. With all the good roads enthusiasts saying so much for cement, this year should be a revelation in the cement trade of Arkansas. Good roads were told of yesterday in counties where such things were not known to exist and the road builders of all counties promised to have the majority of the roads of Arkansas in shape for automo- bile travel, by the next annual meeting.
 The resolution committee late in the afternoon reported its recom- mendations. This committee re- ported ill favor of the establish ment by the state of an engineer and commission to lay off the roads of the state in an intelligent and scientific manner, and direct the material of which the roads should be constructed. It also approved of the propositions to take forever the net earning of the convicts of the state for good roads, their con- struction and maintenance. Other recommendations were, for the pur- chase ot rock crusher sites and the establishing of large crushers there to supply crused stone for the good road work over the state; the pub fishing of complete geological re- port of the state; the enactment of law requiring wide tires on all wagons; the endorsement of the Patterson bill in all its sections; and all appropriation for the estab fishing of a tuberculosis hospital in the state. This report was signed by Thomas c. McRae, R. F. Milee, s. J. Hunt, Ben l.. Grif- fin, w. T. Bessellieu, w. A. Ar mold, B. F. Seagraves, H. L. Rem mel, Dr. w. A. Bryant, E. A. Kingsley and E. P. Ladd, the committee on resolutions. The resolutions were unamin u ly adopted after being read by the chairman of the committee.
 The program yesterday was not adhered to, as only a few of the speakers were present, and there was sufficient entertainment listen ing to the views of the different delegates in attendance.
 When the convention adjourned it was with the intention of meet ing here again next year. H. l.. Remmel was elected as president, E. l.. Carter, secretary. Both are of Little Rock.

REFORM SCHOOL IS VISITED
Penitentiary Board Pleased After Inspec-
 tion of New Institution.

Little Rock, Jan. 2e.-Special.- - Chairman John R. lobe, Governor George w. Don aghey, Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood, and Commissioner Guy B. Tucker of the penitentiary board, yesterday afternoon made the trip to the Ark ansas Reformatory, seven miles from the city, for the purpose of looking over the institution. They are now talking of the excellent condition in which they found the institution. It IS probable the board will recommend an additional ap- propriation for the school this year so the inmates of the institution may be given course in manual training. Supt. Chestnut is now working the boys on the farm, besides spending a considerable time in the school room.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
X. The Delusion of a Warranty Deed.

A warranty deed is too often a delusion and a snare. l It sometimes conveys an abso- lutely bad title.
 Your lawyer will tell you SO.
 The warranty in the deed is no stronger than the present ability of the maker to make good.
 He may be dead when your defect is discovered; his estate may be insolvent.
 Again, your title may be held up as unmarketable at a time when a sale is extremely desired. For this annoyance you have no recourse on your vendor. It is your worry-not his.
