Interpretation upon her great respon-

seemed poor indeed, absorbed only in
petty considerations, and seeing every
thing down the narrow vista Of the
correct" Her eyes followed the
young girls course through the room,
easy to trace by her shining blond
head, and the unusual righteousness of
her muslin gown. She stopped be-
side two women, and with certain
sense of pleasure and embarrassment
Flora recognized one of them-Mrs.
Herrick. She caught the lady's eye
and bowed. Mrs. Herrick smiled,
with a gracious inclination in which
her graceful shoulders had part
1t gave Flora the sense Mrs. Her
ricks presence always brought her,
of protection, of security, and the pos
sibility of friendship finer than she had
ever known. She started forward.
But Mrs. Herrick, presenting instantly
her profile, drew the young girls
hand through her arm and moved
away.
Flora WINGED as If she had received
a blow. The other people who had
heard the same gossip of her had
been, on account of it, all the more
amused and anxious to talk to her.
She felt herself judged-judged
from the outside, it is true-but still
there was justice in it. She had been
flying in the face of custom, ignoring
common good behavior. in short,
sticking to her own convictions in de-
fiance of the worlds. And she must
pay the penalty-the loss of the pos
sibility of such a friend.
But it was hard, she thought, to pay
the price without getting the thing
she had paid for. 1t was more like a
gamble in which she staked all on a
chance. And never had this chance

Account of a Sad Accident

The following clipping, giving an account of the sad accident to Lynn Hawkins, the 12.year old son of Rev. and Mrs. J. s. Haw.8 kins, is taken from the Edna (Tex.) Herald:
 The hired woman was ironing in the servants house, not con. nected with the dwelling, and the gasoline stove used to heat the irons was not giving satisfaction so she attempted to turn it out. Lynn came in with an open buck. ct of gasoline to fill the reservoir -spilling some of it, their was an explosion from beneath, which was doubtless caused byl the unobserved blaze on the| burner. The flames leaped| above his head, but he carried the bucket of flaming fuel out side the building to save his little| sister and the building. His fath1 CT was in the barn yard not far away from where Lynn ran at once for help, chased by the de mon flames cutting away his clothing and the tender skin Of his body from his waist to his collar. Mr. Hawkins grabbed him as quickly as possible and plunged him into water trougl whereby the flames were at once extinguished. Only a few sec onds Were required to play everyy part of this horrible tragedy. Bul the poor little gasoline saturatea boy was too badly burned to eve recover. The attending physd ians, Drs. Rad key and Ricl mond, with Miss Walker,
 trained nurS e, succeeded
 keeping him alive but shor time, from Wednesday about on o'clock till Friday night. Hon was held out by the loved 0nea but the sad announcement WI
 made by Miss Walker that

Arkansas Is Going 10 Advertis.

The following clipping is taken from the current issue of the American Lumberman, the big, gest lumber journal in the world, and those who knows the facts it reciteS, will the more appreciate the article, which if published in it's entirety, would make three or f UT columns.
 Arkansas is righteously tired and weary of the "Traveler" and his coonskin covered hut and the drawing dialog which goes with a story that was never lived and never told. Arkansas had pio- neerS who were th4 Sia its of their time-giantS in intellect, and giants of physical force. The man still lives au hlnts deer-and finds them, too whose memory runs easily back to the time when in all the length and breadth of Arkansas there was not single glass window in the state. There yet lives in ArkauSaS a man who mounts his horse without aid of an tipping block who holds the distinction very modesty-of having built the first mile of railroad in that state. Yet in the short span Of time between the birth of the man and the time at which his vigOr declines, after which he can no longer ride and hunt, has been built up in that state a civilization that is cleanly, wholesome and has traditions of the past quite as glorious, shines quite as bril-. liantly in the present, and has hope for the future quite as promising as that of any other state in this union of states.
 Arkansas has just begun to find out that it knows very little about itself. It has only recent ly discovered that 1t has resour- ces.
 You who have travelled through Arkansas mostly throug h, but never very far from the main lines of it's railroads never have seen a dozen peach trees in a group except fitting glance through car window, perhaps and yet do you know that there are hundreds and thousands of acres of trees on which the peaches are now ripening in the summer sunshine?

cen tly is telling what he knows about peaches.
 Colonel Brown and other pub lie spirited citizens recently took an excursion down in the Ozan Lumber Company country out of Prescott. This is not adver- Using, so the name of the county will not be given; but it was somewhere in that Prescott and Northwestern railroad section of Arkansas which the enterprise of J. H. BemiS and his sons has opened up in the last ten years; somewhere contiguous to, in or near the diamond fields of Ar kansas that Col. George Russ and his friends found the peach orchard: A peach orchard, sir, as big as cattle range or an endless meadow; a peach or chard, sir, which contained hundred and sixty five thousand peach trees; peach orchard, sir, through which piked roads had been built for the convenience of those who worked and picked; a peach orchard so large that it's various portions are connected by series of telephones for the convenience of the workers"
 It is not easy to quote swift spoken words which flow with enthusiasm. Colonel Bro w n may not have arranged his con- versation jdst as you heard it, but these above are the facts. The orchard to which Colonel B. own referred is only one of many such. Will N. Benis, of the Ozan Lumbe Company, can tell anyone the particulars who may want to know, for it is not the particulars concerning the resources of Arkansas which it is in your province to tell
 It is only the general picture in which you have interest; it stands above all other facts that the world at large and that her citizens themselves need infor- mation-and this is one of the reasons why Arkansas is going to advertise.
 Arkansas has concluded to wake up personally. She has concluded to set the alarm clock just few ticks off the edge of Roaring Prosperity, and then, when the clock has struck and

From the Strand Magazine.
No more popular figure existed in the
CID Theatre Royal, Dublin, than Levy the
conductor. He was the father of some
very celebrated musicians-one of them
was Levy, the cornet player, who made
such a sensation with his cornet and his
diamond rings in the promenade concerts
ar Covent Garden, under Riviere's direc-
ton, rs years ago. Old Levy had a very
large. family C"Faganini redivivus" was
another of his famous sons), and story
is told that when conducting the over
ture to an opera in Theatre Royal boy
jumped up from under the stage and
said: 'Misther Levy! Misther Levyl
Your woive has just had a babbyr 1.-THE

Pay and Work Of American Pastors

A special report of the census bureau
the gospel in this country at 1868. The
cities pay larger salaries. The salaries of
Unitarian clergymen in cities average
1858, while the Episcopal church is sec
ond with 1922, and the Presbyterians third
with SLIT.
While II is true that the minister In
rural districts receives as a rule house
rent free, and is the recipient of many
gifts from the members of his flock and
of many concessions from schools and
railroads, and even storekeepers, yet be-
yond all question the American minister
does more difficult work for a small sal
airy than any other man In the entire
community. There is a general assump-
ton that the man who ministers to the
people In spiritual matters needs fewer
creature comforts than his neighbor, who
handles cotton or grows 1t or mends the
soes of shoes. The laborer is worthy of
his hire, and the man who has the cure of
souls should not be treated exceptionally.
The pastors occupation does not con-
Eist alone Of preaching and praying. He
has wide range of duties, and the man
reasonably well paid. The average re-
ported by the census bureau should be
considerably increased. It should in fact
IN these days OF high cost of living be
doubled.

Steel BargeS For the Mississippi

The wooden barge that made two round
trips between Pittsburg and New Or
leans a year is to be displaced by steel
barues that are expected to make at least
five round trips to New Orleans, carrying
steel rails and other mill products to the
extent of 100000 tons a year. This vol
u,ne of business is to be expanded until 1t
reaches at least 900 tons a year.
The new steel barges that are being
constructed for the United States Steel
corporation are to be 200 feet long, S6
feet beam and 10 feet inches deep. The
screw type was adopted. the rakes fore
and aft being the same. The barges are
to he of steel construction throughout
with the exception of a wood floor in the
hold. The draft of these barges loaded
to capacity will be feet. The barges
light will draw rs inches.
The American Bridge company's plant
at Ambridge, Pa, is building these barges
and 1t Is also building many other barges
for carrying bulk oil and coal, and for
transfer purposes. It has an order from
the Illinois Central railroad for four steel
barges to carry gravel for ballasting rail-
road tracks. It is also building four steel
barges for the government to be used
In government river work.
The construction of steel barges for use
on the rivers of the country promises to
become great industry, and the estab-
nshment of a plant of that nature near
Tuscaloosa will soon be greatly needed.
Possibly the American Bridge company
win establish plant in this district. 1t
Is subsidiary company of the Steel cor
poration.

Cotton Bills Of Lading

1t Is regrettable that an end cannot be
put to vague rumors concerning the is
suance of fraudulent bills of lading in the
south. These rumors cannot be headed
off because no steps have been taken in
the bankruptcy court or elsewhere to
bring out the truth and the whole truth.
The indications are that the matter is to
be suppressed. The rumors go on, there
fore. increasing as they spass from one
Imaginative person to another.
The bankers see the plight that cotton
producers have been put in by the knight
Yancey failure and the lack of full public
information, and they have devised bill
that is now before the Senate. The bill
is known as the Stephens bill and the
House unanimously passed 1t. The SEN
ate should do likewise.
The bill simply makes common car
rier. who issues an order bill of lading
or a straight bill of lading, responsible to
the consignee for the goods named, espe-
cially If bill does not bear the word
duplicate.
Why not? A carrier that issues a bill
of lading covering goods that the car
rier does not possess or control. certainly
should be held responsible. Such car
rier has simply done what should not be
done.
The enactment into law by this session
Of Congress of the Stephens bill would no
doubt restore confidence in southern bills
of lading and prevent any undue depres-
sion in the price of staple as the bales
come rolling into market next fall. Con-
gestion next fall would be hurtful 10 the
producers of the crop, and the Stephens
bill will, it is believed, overcome all the
fears and rumors bred by the Knight
Yancey failure.

Torrance of the Dame aux Camelias, +"
the representations of which play we
have long since ceased counting, left at
1879 the next morning in her motor car
for Rouen to begin a tour of several
weeks in the French provinces. She will
motor from town to town every day and
act every evening. The divine lady sets
the most remarkable example of human
energy in modern times. When she mo-
tored away from her house in the Boule-
ward Pereire she was given a charming
send-on by troops of girls, who brought
her flowers. Some who made them by
trade had even fashioned flowers espe-

she must have spent hours of overtime

enough to throw T. R. and the entire

future growth and development of this
great section of the world.
You don't hear of any kickers here
abouts in these days The shoulders of
the ambitious ones are to the wheel Not
only in commercialism, but In educa-
tional and artistic development Mayor
o Brien, of artistic instinct himself, has
continued, elaborated and developed the
city beautiful idea inaugurated by his
predecessor, Mayor Ward. Parks are
being beautiied, streets improved. and
the good work is proceeding in every part
of the community. Some of it may be a.
bit slow because of lack of funds. but
it will go faster later.
And right in this connection, the more
think of 1t the better I like the idea
which was thrown out in this column last
Sunday of dispensary system for the
Greater Birmingham.
Former Governor Jelks estimates that
a dispensary would bring a revenue of
something like one million dollars an
nually for Jefferson county. Doubtless
his figures are high, but were it only half
this amount, look what Improvements
could be made on the streets, the county
roads and In public school building.
It Is a foregone conclusion that the
next legislature will pass a local option
act. 1t is likewise true that the people
CT Birmingham are sorely tired of the
several hundred blind tigers now being
conducted without any revenue to the
county or city. So let us have a dispen-
