Some miscreant, unresponsive to the charm evoked by the combination of two friends, a starry sky and broad eXpanse of moonlit water, some rank materialist whose phlegmatic disposi- tion was never stirred at a philan- thropic act, some petty seeker after gain, some rogue, has stolen the broad, comfortable bench so fittingly placed on the Mulberry street wharf by Harry J.

At least the bench has disappeared, and all that meets ones eyes upon the green sward are the two upright posts that supported the back of the seat No more can loveSick youth stray to it's soothing recesses and gaze upon the silvery moon, regent of the night likening her in his ecstasy to his lady fair.

GERMANS MEET
 IN LITTLE ROCK
CAPITAL CITY BEDECkED WITH FLAGS AND BUNTING FOR THE HAPPY OCCASION.
DEVELOPMENT" WAS THE WORD
Sons and Daughters of Deutschland Assembled at Turner Hall to Make Merry by Singing the Old Songs and Accounting the Experiences of Earlier Days.

Little Rock-A sign bearing the word Wi kommen," entwined with German flags stretched across the entrance to Turner hall, at Com merce and Fourteenth streets, aptly expresses the sentiment of the city of Little Rock toward the German American Federation of Arkansas.
 The city fairly outdid itself Mon day to we4come to the capital Of Ar kansas the sturdy Teutons who have rendered such valuable service in the development of the state. The red, white and black of Germany was everywhere in evidence. Practically every business house in the city was decorated in honor of German day. German and American flags waved from nearly every building in the downtown business district-the col CTS of the fatherland entwined with the red, white and blue of the adopt ed country. Many residences were similarly decorated. Half the vehi- cles seen on the streets bore Ger man and American flags. Every where was the spirit of welcome.
 And the sons and daughters of Deutschland made the most of the fact that it was their day. Assem- bled at Turner hall 800 strong, they enjoyed themselves as only Germans can, with the old songs which re- called happy days in their native land.
 The festivities continued through out Tuesday.

HAVING FUN WITH A BANKER
More Appreciated by the Player Than the Victim.

Councilman F. A. Drew is fond of playing practical jokes on William H. Lee president of the Merchandise clede National bank. MT. Drew was for years a director in MT. Lees bank.
 While the bankers were waging their recent war upon prohibition, MT. Drew late one night rang up MT. Lee at his home and represented that he was reporter assigned to get MT. Lees views on the situation.
 MT. Lee complained somewhat bit terly on being called out of bed at that hour of night to give an interview, but finally got warmed up to the subject and for 30 minutes pictured the deso- lation that would result in St. Louis if Missouri went dry.
 Let me see,' said MT. Drew at the conclusion of the interview, you are Mir William H. Lee, whisky man, aren't you?"
 Mo- snapped MT. Lee, "I am MT. William H. Lee, the banker"
 "Oh," said MT. Drew, apologetically, q am very sorry, but 1 wanted to talk to MT. Lee the whisky expert, and not Mr Lee the financier.
 MT. Drew hung up the receiver be- fore the explosion occurred on the other end of the wire.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what tre- mendous appetites farm hands usually have; but while they eat well they work well, too. 5
 Here's good suggestion about feed ing farm hands. Give them plenty of Quaker Scotch Oats. A big dish of Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and cream or milk is the greatest break fast in the world for man who needs vigor and strength for a long days work. The man that eats Quaker Scotch Oats plentifully and often is the man who does good work without excessive fatigue. There is a sustain ing quality in Quaker Scotch Oats not found in other foods, and for economy it is at the head of the list. To meet needs of those in different climates Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in regu- lar size packages and dramatically sealed tins; the latter for hot climates.

 New Yorl1.-An aeroplane flashed past the white dome of Grants tomb, then turning gracefully in midair nver the waters of the Hudson, shct like falcon back to Governors isl and, ten miles away. Wilbur Wright of Dayton, O., thus placed his name in the rank with Hudson and Fulton in one of the most spectacular feats in the history of aeronautics
 This was one of the most pleasing events on the program at the Hud- son-Fulton celebration.
 Over the masses of warships, from whose decks the hoarse cheers of the sailors were borne up to him in his elevated seat, he flew for twenty miles-ten miles up and ten miles back-remaining in the air for B minutes and 33 seconds and alighting at the Aerodrome without mishap.
 During the flight business was practically at a standsti.l in all that part of Manhattan from which view of his remarkable performance was available. Harbor craft shrieked their applause, cheer after cheer swept up from the banks of the Hud- son and the lower baylor the Day ton aviator had made good,' crown ing the aviation program of the Hud- son-Fulton celebration with record.

Dies on Eve of Wedding.

Atlanta, Ga.-After coming from Chickasha, Okla, to become the bride of R. P. Luther, prominent insurance man of Atlanta, Miss Lou ise Murphy was stricken by ptomaine poison on the eve of her wedding and died in a few hours. The body was taken to Chickasha, arrayed in bridal robes and accompanied by the man who was to have been the bride groom.
 The romance of MT. Luther and Miss Murphy dates back over pe- riod of three months, the two becom- ing acquainted in July, when the lat ter was visiting here. Before Miss Murphy left Atlanta in September for her Oklahoma home MT. Luther had the assurance that she would re- turn at an early date and become his bride. Miss Murphy returned and the wedding day was fixed, but she was fatally stricken as soon as she reached here.

WHERE THEY LEARN ECONOMY

Of IA girls in turn she had inquired: Have you worked in minister's family?" None of them had "Too bad" said the ma tron to the manager. None of these girls will do.''
 May I ask, said the manager, why you are anxious to know if these girls have worked in ministers families? ?'
 Why, the fact is, we're very hard up just now said the matron, candid ly; q want a girl who knowc how to economize, and those who have worked in clergymen,s families, I've discov- cred, have learned that lesson"

Little Willie, suffering from an at tack of toothache, had paid his first visit to the dentist, accompanied by his mother. Father, on his return from the office that evening. was nat urally much interested.
 Didn't it hurt?" asked father.
 Sure, it hurt" replied Willie.
 Weren't you scared when the dent fst put you in that big chair and started all those zizz-zizz-zizz things?'
 "Oh, not so much.
 That was brave boy. But surely, you suffered?"
 "Of course I suffered. But I just kept repeating over and over the golden text we had in Sunday school last Sunday"
 The golden text? What was it?"
 Why, Suffer little children to come unto me-" replied Willie, glibly. q kept saying that over and over to my self, and the first thing I knew it didn't hurt any more.'

 T was telling friend about it and she said, We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children
 q was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as we'll as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be fact.
 My first trial was failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so fiat that I was in despair despair but determined to give it one more trial This time we followed the direc- tions and boiled it fifteen minutes aft CT the boiling began. It was decided success and I was completely won by it's rich delicious favour. In short time I noticed decided improvement in my condition and kept growing bet ter month after month, until now am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleas ure I would not return to the nerve destroying regular coffee. for any money"
