justified in making clever remarks to

The truth is that Ole Bull was not
classical player. As l remember him,
he could not play In strict tempo. Like
Chopin. he INDUCED In the rubato and
abused the portamento. But he knew
his public. America, particularly In
the regions visited, was not In the
mood for sonatas or coneertos. "Old
Dan Tucker" and the "Arkansaw Tray

both, played jigs and old tunes, reused
the echoes with the Star Spangled
Banner" and Irish melodies. He play
ed such things beautifully. and 1t

say that you didn't like them. You

A Insson For NAllie.

Mrs. Washington was strict disci-
plinarian about certain matters and
among other things always required
the members OF the household to fol
low the example OF her husband and
dress for dinner, which was at 5
O'Clock On one occasion Nellie Gus
It's and her cousin, Martha Cambridge
appeared at the table In their morning
gowns, but no comment was made
upon 1t until coach was seen APP
proaching and the visitors, some
French officers OF high rank and
Charles Carroll, Jr., of Carrollton. one
of Miss Custis' ardent suitors, were
announced. Instantly the girls, In
futter Of excitement, begged to be ex-
cused IN order to change their gowns.
but Mrs Washington shook her head.
No" she said. "Remain as you are.
A costume good enough for President
Washington IL good enough for any
guest of his" Needless to say, Miss
Nellie never overlooked her proper
garb for dinner again. National

While passing by an old fashioned
inn In Scotland the tourists were ut
tracted by an ancient bagpiper, who
was footing atrocious sounds through
an instrument that was both dilapi-

Wood Too Hard to Burn.

There are certain kinds OF wood that
are too hard to burn or refuse to Ignite
for some other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root. but 1t IL
II curiosity 10 come across piece OF
common deal-the soft, light wood of
which 80 many boxes are mnde-that
cannot be set fire to. The piece OF
wood Ia question was common white
deal from Sweden, but was remarka-
bic for Its comparative weight. 1t had
formed part of a boat belonging to n
whaler and had been dragged below
the surface of the water to the depth
of more than half a mile by a har'
pooned whale The length OF line and
the short distance from the point or
descent nfter being struck ut which
the whale rose TO the surface was n
proof OF the depth to which 1t had
dragged the boat Only part OF tho
boat came up again at the end OF the
line, and II WAS taken on board when
the whale had been killed. That piece
OF wood was SO hard that IL would not
burn in a gas jet. The weight OF wa

 GO 10 J0NESB0R0 HEADQUARTERS CHANGED
COMMITTEE DE. CIDES ON REMOVAL FROM
 CITY OF CONWAY.

The official headquarters and secre- ry-treasurer's offices of the state Farmers Union will be removed from Conway to Jonesboro, according to a decision reached by the executive con- mittee of that organization at Pine Bluff yesterday afternoon. No req son for the change of the offices to the northeast Arkansas town has been assigned by the committee, in fact, no official announcement of the removal has as yet been made, the committee deciding to withhold the announcement until some details have been arranged for.
 Propositions to the committee sub- mitted by Conway and Jonesboro, each town proposing to furnish of nces free of rent, as. well as fuel, lights, etc. Only three of the five members of the committee were pres ent, Chairman F. ". Broadnax of Van Duzer, J. E. Rogers of Magnolia and J. A. Blackford of Jonesboro. l.. M. Burge of Little Rock and w. D. Walker of Magazine were the absent members.
 Committeeman Blackford present ed Jonesboro's proposition and argued in favor of the removal of the offices, while Committeeman Rogers strongly favored the retention of the head quarters at Conway This left the decision of the matter in the hands of Chairman Broadnax, who favored Jonesboro
 Bids for the publication of the ln;on's official newspaper were receiv- ed. The best bid was made by the ConwayS Printing Company of this city, but inasmuch as the offices are to be removed to Jonesboro, it was decided to award the contract to w. o. Trout of Jonesboro, provided he would offer as good proposition as that submitted ythe Conway print ing concern.
 J. D. Doyle of Lawrence county was elected legislative committeeman to serve during the next session of the general assembly.
 It will probably be week or more before the union offices are removed to Jonesboro. Ray Fry, who has been assistant secretary under M F. Dick inson and Ben L. Griffin for several years, will continue to hold the same position under the new secretary treasurer J. B. Payne, and will move to Jonesboro when the change of headquarters is made.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, August 20.-Governor Donaghey has received from Cover nor Vessey of South Dakota letter requesting the people of Arkansas to withhold unfavorable opinion against J. c. Langston, who is charged with the murder of A. w. Shirey, until the witnesses from South Dakota have been heard.
 The Dakota governor says it has been reported to him that an effort is being made to discountenance the South Dakota witnesses who will tes- tify in an effort to prove an allbi for Langston. These witnesses, however, he says are personally known to him and he is willing to vouch for their truthfulness.
 In his reply Governor Donaghey said tat Arkansas people are noted for being fair-minded.

The Republicans of Cadron town ship will hold meeting at the court house tonight for the purpose of con sidering the advisability of nominat- ing a township ticket to be voted on at the September election. Five jus tices of the peace, constable and a road overseer are to be elected. J. A. Phillips, F. c. Bartlett, John Whitten and others have been mentioned as probable candidates for justice of the peace, and it is possible that w. H. James, who has already announced as an independent, may be endorsed for constable. So far as known, no one is being considered for the posi- tion of road overseer in opposition to the Democratic nominee, Walter Bowen.
