MRS. ALICE L'MAIRE
 LOSES HERE HOME
Residence of Former Pine BIuifian, Destroyed by Fire Last Saturday
 Afternoon, in Little Rock.

Fire destroyed the valuable home of Mrs. Alice LeMaire on Pulaski Heights Saturday at about noon, and the loss is complete. Mrs. LeMaire resided there but she spends much of her time with relatives in Pine Bluff and was at Pine Bluff yesterday when the house burned.
 The house was valued at from $6,- GOO to $S,000 and it is presumed was insured, though the amount of the insurance could not be ascertained. It is also said that the house was for sale and that local real estate man had practically negotiated a deal for the sale the day before it was burned. 1t was one of the most attractive res idences on Pulaski Heights.-Little Rock Democrat.

A Snake Story.

The family were at dinner when there came tap at door seldom opened. Winning no attention, it was repeated and again a third time. though more softly, and then the door was swung back and. behold, there was a snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head. in conformity with the decree Of tradi- tion and with Ezra's understanding of scriptural direction. crunched Brit. lsh boot. It was mother snake, who. having bravely overcome her fear of man. was seeking sustenance. not for herself perhaps, though she was starv- ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once. at any rate. did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood.-Geor B. NJ. Harvey in North American Re- rieW.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER,

 To the Voters of the Southern Dis trict, Arkansas Railroad Commis- sion:
 I hereby announce myself as a can didate for Railroad Commissioner, Southern District, subject to the ac- tion of the Democratic primaries of March 30. 1910.
 For four years past I have been Secretary of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, and have been more or less in- timately connected with many efforts to promote the prosperity of the whole state, especially along economic and traffic lines. My duties have taken me frequently before the State Rail- road Commission, and made me ac- quainted with both the letter and spirit of the organic law which it op- crates.
 I believe my previous training, re- cord and experience qualify me to serve as Railroad Commissioner in an intelligent, broadminded and fair minded way.
 My candidacy has the unanimous endorsement of the jobbers and ship pers' convention, called by Fort Smith without my previous knowledge, and held at Little Rock on February %, 1910.
 If elected, my motto will be: "A square deal for all.'
 If you do not know better man offering for the office, I will sincere ly appreciate your support.
 Very respectfully yours,
 JOHN l.. CALDWELL.

 The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that ef Hannuckburn, fought In the year l314. Apart from its bear. ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep- tional interest from the military point of view. as Rannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" while that of the Scots. on the other hand. was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into ''schil- troms. or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him. but Courtray and Bannock burn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schiltrom.' or hedgehog. forma- lion. and these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at AEincourt As it was the Scots who may be said 10 have originated the British square nt Bannockburn, so it .;,s they again, who at Ralaklava were "o hrst to discard it with thoir thin ,. fine. and tow. owing to euI -,Hnc d conditions of warfare t :s
