When the late Pierre Lorillard was a boy, his mother, being annoyed by moths that destroyed the woolen cloth ing and other material of the house. hold, agreed to pay him cent apiece for every moth he would kill in the house and bring to her. The same bargain was made with his brothers. Jake, George and Louis. Hi course of time Mrs. Lorillard noticed that, while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to 25 cents.

Original of FaIstaH.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough. he showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned 1t with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolfs matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for, having married widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime.-Lon- don News.

kniahted Actors.

It is m odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize the names under which they had won fame. The question arose with the first proposition to confer kn;ghtAood on q gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodribb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's diamond jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire. How ever, the three actors knighted by King Edward bore cognomens of their own invention. Sir Charles Wyndham was born Culverwell. and Sir John Hare, Fairs. AS for Sir Herbert Beer bohm Tree, his brilliant wife once put 1t "'Tree' is fantastic thing we just tackled on. We're all plain Beerbohms -piain as brother Max"-Argonaut.

The Old English Prize Ring.

In the latter days of the English prize ring innumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off fight. A favorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties, so that the question of magisterial jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers and Heenan fin 1860 special train was run from Lon don bridge to secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets. pugilists, clergy and, 1t is said. few bishops, cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the fight occurred.-London Chronicle.

FAMOUS FLYING
 MACHINE INVENTOR.
Strong and Vigorous at Age of 90 and Enabled to Live to See His Life's Work. Crowned
 With Success,


 Life's Work. Crowned
 With Success.
 MT. Henry Clarke Moore, of Tama, Iowa, who is 90 years of age, has just completed his first flying ma chine. His brain has been kept clear and alert and his nerve steady, and the perfection of his invention made possible by his daily use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky, as his only invig- orator and tonic-stimulant
 In an interview with our corre- spondent he said: For several years I have been greatly troubled with dormant and sluggish action of the lower bowels, which caused me intense suffering. No treatment seem- ed to benefit me until finally I was induced to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and it gave me immediate relief. I steadily gained my health and strength, until now I am as viz orous and active as man of 50 years of age. My mind is as clear as it ever was, and I have done some of the best work on my invention the last few years, which proves my mental and physical condition. Please bear in mind that I am a temper ance man and do not advise any one to use alcoholic beverages except as. a medicine, but do firmly advise all old people and those who are run down to use Duffy's Pure Malt Whis- key as I have, as I believe it is the greatest support to those who are weakened by age. In. my case it stimulated and built me up; it quickened circulation and made me feel more alert and able to do things. I believe in being temperate in all things, eating as well as drinking. If by some means the hu- man being could be educated to strict temperance in all things, what a difference we should soon see in the human race. There is one thing certa:n-if every one would do as much to. educate the people to temp- erance as the makers of Duffy's Pure Malt .Whiskey do there would be no such thing as intemperance."

WOULD CHANGE
 DELIVERY HOURS
Pine Bluff Ministers to Ask Postal Department to Change the sunday Hours to Permit POstOffice
 Employees to Attend
 Church.

The idea of changing the opening hours of the postoffice Sunday morn- ing ill order that the clerks and oth- CT employees might attend church, was interestingly discussed at meet ing of Pine Bluff Ministerial .Asso- citation at the Y. N. c. A. Monday morning. Nothing definite was de- cided on, but the various pastors in- tend to take the matter up with the proper authorities and will endeayor to have the opening hours changed so that every employee of the post office may be allowed to attend church.
 The office at present is opened at 11:90 o'clock every Sunday morning. At nearly all of the city churches the Sunday morning services begin at II o'clock which makes it impos- sible for postoffice employees to perform their duties at the post of- flee and attend the services also The ministers will probably consult with Postmaster F. c. Furth on this sub ject; and he will take up the matter with the postal authorities at Wash iHgton.
 The. officers of the Pine Bluff Min. :sterial Association were elected as follows for the ensuing year: Rev s. E. Full, president; Rev.; w.. C Davidson, vice, president and ". R. Stich secretary.

loss of between $4,000 and $4,000
Two men who were sleeping in a shed

burned, the loss being $4,000, and re-

believe that both fires were incendiary.
The blaze this morning was discov-
cred shortly before o'clock, and when
the fire department arrived the lumber
piles, the shed containing finished
goods and other buildings were on
fire. 1t was with the utmost difficulty

and the police have good description
of them. This is the tenth fire that has
occurred in this city in the last two
months and the warehouse owners and
