Fruits and Small Travelling
Cases Are Ideal Bon Voyage Gifts
They Take Practically No Space in Saroon, and Rare Fruits
Are Away. Acceptable on Ship Case. Are ser1ieeabe
to Use in Packing.

When contemplating giving bon
voyage gifts to friends about to sail
for Europe. one fact should be borne
in mind, and that is that nothing
heavy should be presented. For lug
gage on the other side of the ocean
is not the simple matter 1t Is in
America and each price is carefully
weighed in the station before even the
shortest 3@nfney, The, weight ,allpw
aflce per capita is small and every
pound over weight must be paid for.
AS the first impulse is usually to
give several new books, the desire
must be curhed. Most persons take
their own supply Of literature. and
So extra volumes would be a bother
in packing throughout the journey.
Incidentally. books take space as well
as make additional weight.
Fruit is undoubtedly one of the most
successful gifts, The ordinary sim
pie kinds. oranges bananas. etc, are
furnished on shipboard, but delicacies
may sometimes be eaten when food of
other kinds is impossible. and a per-
son who Is not Ill on the ocean Is I'M

Shaggy Animal Said TO Be

NEW YORK. June tS.-staten Is
land has entered the mature taking"
arena with most peculiar animal,
said TO be cross between horse
aud buffalo. The beast is in the
possession of troupe Of gypsies en-
camped on the south shore of the is
land near Midland Beach. and is most

gypsy camp to-day the occupants re-
fused absolutely to show the animal
or to discuss It at all. After a search

endiugly hungry and will bless the
one who provides juicy fruits.
Tiny sort of travelling case which
will aid in reducing luggage and keep
ing down weight will be an acceptable
present. For example, silk or creton-
ne cases for shoes save the traveller
constantly searching for brown paper
In which 10 wrap the aforementioned
footwear. and II these cases are lined
With. plain fslh.FT- cloth thee pauaG1est
shoes may he put in. and the lining
OF the receptacle viii require only a
Wiping with a damp cloth. Another
acceptable gift is one of those self
lighting electric hand lamps that need
only the button pressed to make a
flare OF light.
In d strange hotel room or In a
cabin when one wishes to see quickly
in the night such light is invaluable,
and. fortunately, takes little space to
pack.
Thin leather photograph cases are
acceptable, for there are always a few
pictures ct be carried, and such cases
take no more room than the cards on
which the photos are pasted

Just About Town

Said our clever and highly esteemed neighbor, w. H. Mclean on Monday: T want to shake your hand and con graduate you on putting across Ar kansas on Wheels It's the biggest thing for Arkansas ill many a day Had l have known it 1 would gladly have taken a ticket in order to have helped you along in your good work. I'm thankful to friend Mclean for his kind sentiment, for l know he meant it, and, in this connection, II Brinkley was crowded with citizens of the Billy Mclean type, we would move things in Brinkley, and there'd be a better town.
 Prank Fedderer, the rice and realty man who moved here from Wisconsin to make his permanent home some months ago, says Arkansas is coming to the front fast, but nothing that has happened will bring such results as the recent showing given by the AT kansas on Wheels train. We or Brinkley must hook up and pull to- gether or else we cant get our share.

 At Omaha Mayor James Dahlman and those live Omaha boosters took off their hats to the Arkansas on Wheels party and wanted to know low it was that they had to be set pace by Arkansas.
 The entire 2,130 miles was one con- tinuous ovation, and those who went o nthe trip met in joint session before disbanding and voted it to be the greatest, grandest and most enjoyable trip of their lives, with not one single complaint or fault to find.
 Refore reaching Little Rock, on re- | turn, the matter of making the Ark ansas on Wheels permanent yearly proposition was taken up and an or ganizaton was effected with pr. J. B.

 The organization, as outlined,~is to be a stock company, with S10,000 cap Tital, and shares at $25.0 0per share.
 Everywhere the train showed there was the same apparent surprise at Ar kansas wonderful progress, and great sagacity at showing the doubters.
 Tn I)es Moines and Omaha there was wonderful spirit of progress that has brought these cities to the attention of the outside world, but at both of these places hats were doff- ed to Arkansas for having wheeled into the enemys country in deiib- crate plan to entice away their busi- ness capital and citizenship. Said Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, to MT Folsom: This is ONE better than even
 Omaha We've been thinking that for real live spirit that we of Omaha set the pace for all: but not so with Arkansas You people are showing us great State, wonderful and aston ishing spirit, and my hat goes off to you.'

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, April 4.-Some features of
interest were discernible through the in
tense dullness of the days dealings in
stocks although the day. net price
changes were inconsequential. One was
the extreme thinness of the market; IN
the periods when there were any stlffihgs
of animation. This was strikingiy mani
fest in the wide fluctuations az which
orders were executed in the little furry
which succeeded the assembling of the
supreme court There had been some

Exchange, directed against manipulative
practices. went into force today. The
wide field of the federal government S

was disclosed by the arrests of Saturday

hitherto unsupported volume.
The relapse of the market into Stagna-
ton after it became known that no
American Tobacco decision would come
from Washington today gave force to
the suppostion of other causes for the
neglect of the market than the suspense
of awaiting this important judicial de-

GOOD ADVICE
Given by Trainer Mike Murphy to

Mike Murphy, trainer of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania teams and the 1905
Olympic team gives the following good
advice to Marathon runners:
Don't run races of 10 miles or fur
Their unless YOU have lots of endurance
and are in training.
All the athletic glory in the world is
not worth a months ill-health.
If Marathon running leaves you
dragged out. quit it.
Every Marathon run demands cor
responding period of rest.
Easy cross country running IS the
best training for u Marathon
Long distance runners should be well
louriShed
W hen taking long runs. especially in
cold weather. keep your chest and
throat well covered,
Eat anything that agrees with you.
but cut out pastries.
Every trainer has a good method.
Stick to the method you started with.
NourishmentS such as pure fruit
juices or beef teas are good to have
with YOU.
DO not allow yourself to be Stimu-
lated in order to finish, Drop out first.
Pay no attention to hot pacemakers,
but run your own race.
DO not bother with being nourished
as long as yoI are doing nicely and
feeling well.

NEEDLE IN His BRAIN.
Convict May Have Been Insane When
lie Committed Crime.

Belletontaine, o., April Flour
years ago Frank Everett, of CraW-
ford county, Ohio. shot and killed a
man named Malone mechanic of Il
railway shop at Nina, New. He was
sentenced to life nrisonment. and
is now about to be pardoned for the
remarkable reason that a needle has
been found in his brain. which leads
to the belief that he may have been
insane when he committed the muir
der.
The defense offered III the trial was
that Everett was insane, and that he
was a victim Of epilepsy. Everett
himself. racked and tortued hy pain
and suffering spasams in his prison
cell, has frequently asserted that he
had a needle in his body.
Last week prison physicians dis
covered 4 needle imbedded in the LaSe
of the Skull Of Everett. He was re-
moved to the hospital. and it is hoped
that by removing the needle which
pierces the brain his full health may
be restored. Relatives living in Ohio
are endeavoring to obtain a PARDON
for the man that he may receive prop
or treatment.
