Like Mistress, Like Maid.

Have you ever noticed" asked the society woman, that lady's maid all ways acquires the same voice, over the telephone at least, that her mistress has? I don't know whether 1t Is un- conscious or deliberate, but 1 have no- ticed for a long time that whenever I ring up friend 1 am answered by what I think Is her own voice, but when venture to say, 'Oh, good morn ing, Gertrude behold 1t isn't Gertrude at all, nor Grace, nor Beatrice. but her very courteous maid. If, on the other hand, say, I should like to speak to Miss Millions,' then 1t proves to be my dearest friend, who is, of course, chilly because I have mistaken her melodious voice for that of the maid
 ''Yes, they even change their voices with change of mistresses. No, I don't know how they do 1t. I suppose 1t is the habit of being so adaptable. I should think some of them might even graduate on to the stage and do character work. New York Press.

That the natives of Nigeria are ca pablo of advanced forms of education Is apparently proved by this little incl dent told by Constance Larymore in "A Residents Wife In Nigeria"
 My husband told me that in the course of the patrol they passed through valley where the inhabitants of the rocks and hills above apparent ly made their homes in holes and caves. One member of the party idly asked what was the scientific name for cave dwellers, the word having slipped his memory for the moment. No one appeared to be able to supply the word. But then the native inter- preter, plodding along behind, came up, saying: Pardon me, sir. Don't you mean troglOdytesT
 ''The Englishman, amazed, asked where he had ever heard such word, and George replied placidly, I was reading a dictionary one day and saw it.

The Aeroplane in War.

Judging from the present outlook 1t seems that the field of the aeroplane in military work will be distinct from that of the dirigible balloon. It will not be able to carry great weight, like the dirigible, but it will be much swifter. Being smaller and more com pact, and requiring no gas-making ap- paratus, it will be more easily trans ported. A single supply ship could carry a whole fleet of them, and they could be quickly put in action. They will probably become the cavalry of the aerial army, while the heavier and more formidable will constitute a com bination of infantry and artillery From Henry B. Hersey's The Menace of Aerial Warfare" in Century.

 By all the laws and the prophets of precedent kenwOrthy should have made stormy exit at the height of the quarrel. In staying on when the final word had been said and grim si- fence had succeeded the heated accu- sations and counter accusations he was guilty of an anticlimax But Ken worthy was no respecter of precedent, and at present it mattered not rap to him whether he was guilty of an nnticlimaX or not He only knew that he was utterly miserable and that the fine view he had of Alicias back turned to him with an obviousness not to be gainsaid-was in nowise encour- aging.
 He sat i'll the hammock, his face a study of contradicting emotions, gag ing abstractedly afield and pulling the silky ears of Rajah, the brindle bull terrier that lolled beside him. Twice he essayed to speak, but each time as he raised his eyes and caught sight of that uncompromising back the words died on his lips.
 At length he looked down at the dog. A whimsical smile curved his lips and he looked grimly toward Alicia who to all intents was interested in the distant landscape.
 "Rajah, old boy" he said, addressing the dog, it strikes me that women are getting very unfair these days. They accuse chap of all sorts of things. and when he offers to explain

THE DUTIES OF THE
 ATTORNEY. GENERAL
Which Makes MT. Hal |. NOrw0Od One
 of the Busiest Men Tn the State.

Little Rock, July 12 When stumping the state to be elected Attorney General Hal l.. Norr wood informed the voters if el-' ected he would spend his entire time in lan honest endeavor to make them a good attorney gen. eral. He has made good on his promise and by the hardest sort of work running every day into the night he has kept up with the demand made upon him for legal opinions. He has been away from the office one day since he was inaugurated except when he went on official business. This one day he was off to deliver a speech and nothing political en- tered into his discussion on that occasion.
 Attorney General Norwood has
The Prescott daily news., 1909-07-12

hours of digging through law books tONnravel Besides these few duties the Attorney General is daily called upon by one or another state official for advice upon the legal procedure in con- nection with some item in the discharge of this duty.
 Besides the matters already mentioned, Attorney General Norwo ood has since he took charge of the office last January receiv- ed over 2OOO letters, a number of which were unofficial and which thel office was not requir- ed to answer but the Attorney General has answered all that are official and wherever it was possible the inquiries of coun- ty and township officers. The law makes the prosecuting attorney the legal adviser Of the county and township officers upon any matter in (which the county is interested and many of these in quiries have been referred to the prosecuting attorneys by Att torney General NorwOod. Many letters make inquiries on school matters and these. are referred to the Superintendent of Public Instruction whose Huty it is to advise the school officers in re- gard to school laws.
 Many persons write to AttOr- hey General NorwOod upon pure ly private matters in which nei- ther the state or county has in- terest While he would like to ac- commodate them with an answer 1t is impossible for him to do so as he is too busy a man to give unofficial letters attention so his stenographer mails to these people a circular letter exI plaining the duties oG the Attor- ney General,
 Attorney General Norwood is active in the discharge of all du- ties in connection with state boards of which he is a member d ing since his inaugural ton.
 There are many criminal cases on appeal in the Supreme Court and many have been disposed of during the present term, and nearly every one affirmed. The fact that the other duties of the Attorney Generals office require close attention of Mr. Norwood h-s assistant, Mr.. Cunningham is given an opportunity to devote hlS whole time and attention to the criminal cases pending in the Supreme Court Since the allow ing defendants convicted of fel- cnles to give bond pending ap- peals became a law. the number of criminal cases appealed has materially increased giving Mr. Cunningham a great deal of work to operate the states case in them.
 Attorney General Norwood was born in Sevier county in 1871. Af- ter attending the country schools he went ito Hendrix College. ater to University of Arkansas and was afterw ards a student in the law department of the Washing ton-Lee University at Lexington Val, He twas married in 1892 to Miss Kate Anderson. In the same year he was elected to the House of Representatives from Seyier county, In the following year he was llcensef to practice law. He was elected prosecuting attor- ney of the Ninth Judicial district ln 1894 and reelected in 1S96> He then moved to Mena in 1898 and was elected to the State Sen ate Ill 1900 and served in 1901 and 1903. In 1908 he was elected Attorney General receiving more votes than any other candidate with opposition.

Hagerstown. Ind, Jan. 2o.-Owing
to the very fine conditions of the
weather Sunday it was estimated that
nearly five hundred people from diff
ferent sections of the county visited,
during the day, the grounds, west of
town, on which the pumping station
of the Tidewater Oil company of Rob-
inson, Ill.,, is being established.
Grounds Being Cleared.
The grounds since being cleared of
many of the trees and stumDs are
fast becoming filled with the neces-
sary material to be used, as each day
brings in several car loads of mater
ial and equipments. Switches have
been laid SO that the cars may be run
into the grounds to be unloaded. The
buildings which will be erected will
nearly all be of brick. Over twenty
five car loads of brick have been I'M
loaded now and more are to come.
The foundations of several build
ings are laid, among which is the one
In which the engines are to be plac-
ed. This building is 100 feet long and
ed building which is thoroughly
equipped with a blacksmith shop.
Near by is another in which nothing
but the tools are kept. Offices of the
superintendent have also been COM
pleted. Those buildings which are
finished are already in constant use.
The many men employed by the COM
pany are at work early and late.
Building Of Reservoir.
At a distance of about forty rods
from the engine house a reservoir is
being constructed, the leWee of which
is 20 feet. In this mammoth tank,
the diameter of which will be so feet,
will be built. The capacity of this
tank will be hundreds of barrels of
oil. In case of fire the oil can be let
out into the reservoir. At least five
cottages will be built for the use of
the men and their families, who will
have charge of the station.
Will Benefit the Town.
Hagerstown residents are hopeful
that the establishing of the pumping
station will be Of benefit to the town.
Many unemployed men and boys can
now have no excuse for being idle for
there is plenty of work and good
wages offered. Houses for rent are
in great demand in Hagerstown at
present and it is thought when spring
opens up that the town will be on a
boom as several are arranging with
contractors to erect residences to
meet the requirements of the new
corners.
The Light Inspection Car company
is also assisting in large manner in
the booming of the town. A night and
day force of men are now on the pay
roll, many of them having been form
erly employed in factories at Rich
mond.
