HAD FEW ATTRACTIONS.
The Post of Private Tutor In New York
 In 17o8.

The Post of Private Tutor In New York Tn f7o8. When a young Englishman named John Davis landed in New York in 179S it was his intention to become the architect of his own fortune by getting into some family as private tutor. This scheme he confided to MT. Carl tat, a bookseller, only to be discour- aged. "Alas." runs the gentleman's statement in page of MT. Davis book entitled Travels of Four and a Half Years In the United States of Amer1 ca, l" ''the labor of Sisyphus is not equa- to that of private tutor in Americar r'
 ''Let me examine you Httie." said the bookseller ..Do you write a good hand and understand all the fntricacies of calculation2"
 "No."
 '"Then you will not do for private tutor. It is not your Latin and Greek. but your handwriting and c1phering. that will decide your character. Pen manship and the figures of arithmetic will recommend you more than logic and the figures of rhetoric. Can you passively submit to be called school master by the children and cool massa' by the negroes?"
 'tNo.''
 ''rhen you will not do for a private tutor. Can you comply with the hu- mility of giving only one rap at the door that the family may distinguish that it is the private tutor. and can you wait half an hour with good humor on the steps till the footman or house maid condescends to open the door?"
 'sNo."
 'NThen you will not do for a private tutor. Can you maintain a profound silence in company to denote your in- feriority, and can you endure to be helped last always at the table-aye, after the clerk Of the coupting house ?''
 .sNo."
 ''Then you will not do for private tutor Can you hold your eyes with your hands and cry 'AmenP when grace is said. and can you carry the children's Bibles and prayer books to church twice every Sunday?'
 "No.''

A Look Ahead.

Simon had just paid a long delayed bill at the grocer's, partly in response to many urgings and partly because he happened to have the requisite ready money. The grocer, an old friend in spite of his persistence in dunning. thanked him heartily. <
 Good for you, Simon,'' he said gra- ciously. 'fYou deserve credit for pay ing up this way.'

VIII Continue
Capitol Tax Levy
Present Levy of One half Mill Will
Have to be Continued for
Two Weeks

Little Rock, Ark, Nov 10
The State Capitol tax levy Of one
half mill will have to be con-
tinued for at least two more years.
That is a settled fact, from all ap-
pearances. The only question is
whether or not it will be advisable
to repeal it even at the end of two
years.
Governor Donaghey himself states
that it will have to be continued
for at least two years longer. When
asked if he did not think it would
have to he continued four years
more, be said that such might be
the case. He could not tell as yet.
"But 1t will have to continue for
two years longer any way" he de-
clared very emphatlcally.
"At the expiration of the pres
ent completion contract or when
the appropriation made by the
last legislature for the completion
of the new statehouse is exhausted,
there will he deficit in the state
capitol fund of 500, ,O0O," said he,
'as the taxes for the past two years
added to what was in the fund at
the time the last Legislature met and
appropriated $795, 900 for carry
ing forward the work of compile
tion, we're not equal to the appro.
priation."

Another Chapter

With the dismissal of the charge
against Robin Cooper who was
charged with completely in the
murder of Senator 4. w. 'Carmack,
at Nashville on November 9th 1908,
another chapter has been added to
the history of Tennessee.
Two years ago Robin Cooper and
his father, Duncan B. Cooper met
former Senator f. w. Carmack on
a public street in Nashville. Shoot
ing began, and Carmack was killed.
This was the result of bitter pollt-
ical campaign in which Carmack had
conducted fight against Duncan b.
Cooper as the adviser of Gov. Pat
terson, through the columns of the
Tennessean, of which Mr.. Carmack
had become editor.
The Coopers pleaded self-defense,
but after a lengthy trial in which
they were prosecuted by Atty. Gen.
McCarn before Judge Hart, the
Coopers were convicted of murder
in the second degree and were sen.
fenced to twenty years. imprison-
ment.
At the trial, it was admitted that
Robin Cooper fired the fatal shots,
and the prosecution insisted that
his father melted him to do so, and
probably fired one or more himself.
Last spring the supreme court af-
frmed the verdict of the lower court
as to Duncan B. Cooper, and two
hours later Gov. Patterson pardoned
him. The verdict as to Robin was
reversed and he was granted a new
trial, the decisions in both cases be-
ing by a divided court. 7
Atty. Gen. Anderson, who recon-
mended the..verdict of not guilty
for Robin Cooper Tuesday, defeated
McCarn for reelection during a po-
Iitical fight recently, and in the
meanwhile also Judge Hart had died
and Gov. Patterson appointed his
successor, A. b. Neil.

the vote cast at the last election,

Honor To Whom Honor Is Due
Editor Star Herald:

Editor star Herald;-
The undersigned is the treasurer

board of missions and as such re-
ceives the quarterly reports of the
twenty-eight pastors serving the
missions charges of our conference.
These reports are made on blanks
furnished by the treasurer and are
Uniform as to matters IN the report,
but of course there is a difference in
regard to work done and results
achieved.
1t gives me great pleasure to IN
form the church at Pocahontas and
Biggers, through the columns of
your paper, that in their pastor, Rev.
w. +. Tuten, whose quarterly re-
ports are before me that they have
the most faithful and interchangeable
pastor among all whose labors are
thus taken into account.
In order that his industry might
stimulate others and thus serve as
an example to them and that his
own people might know the extent
of his pastoral work, ! take great
pleasure in giving tito them.
Brother Tuten reports having Wis
ite lIo families and to have pray
ed with 81 during the first quarter
and during the second quarter he
visited so families, and during the
third quarter he visited 200 families
and held prayer in so homes, and
for the fourth quarter ending No
vember the l4th he visited 200 fam.
lilies and prayed in so homes.
Such report is without parallel
among our missionaries and certain
" entities him to be known as one
of the best pastors in our whole con
ference and churches be serves, and
his people generally, ought to be
congratulated on receiving suOa ex-
Cellent visitation.
