ANTl-SAlOON LEAGUE
First Meeting and Opening of Campaign
 Against License, Great Success.

small notice of six or seven lines published in each of the two papers of thls city last week, announced the opening Of the campaign of the Anti saloon League against Liquor License m this county, and that Hon. W. F. Williams, Rev. George Kirker, and others, would address the people at the court house Monday night. August s, at s o'clock.
 Accordingly, large audience of in- terested citizens assembled, among whom were quite goodly number of ladies, and Hon. o. B. Rollwage was chosen to preside, which he did in his usual able and happy manner Dr. J. 0. Rush was chosen as secretary, and the Honorable Highl Sheriff made one ot. his happy characteristic speech es, which was full of enthusiasm. He
 was followed by Rev Kirker, of the
 Presbyterian church, who made an earnest appeal. The writer arrived a little late, and regrets that he did not
 have the pleasure of hearing those 1 two speeches, which we understand
 were of high order and full of good
 feeling. But just after we arrived the chairman stated that if any per son present desired to be heard. or desired 10 hear any other person
 present, they would make it known. and Hon. NJ. B. Norfieet was called for by many eager members of the audience. Judge Norfeet has an en-
 viable reputation as an orator, and he responded gracefully in a powerful speech of fifteen minutes which was full of enthusiasm and an oratorical gem. His remarks were pointed and frequently applauded He pledged himself and swhateyer of ability he may possess To the work of keeping St. Francis county in the dry column.
 Capt. James Russell was next called for, and responded in few we'll chos- en words in which he stated in effect that he believed that the present dry regime had been of inestimable value to St, Francis county from every stand point. and hoped Forrest City would never again have an open saloon nor license the sale of liquor; that he k and has been opposed to il. and be- lieYed thatresults morethan justified his position on the question.
 At the conclusion of Capt. FusseI,s remarks, Hon. w. E Williams asked to have the floor again for a few min utes, and again entertained ali who heard him, his remarks being plain and sincere and injecting quite a good deal of wit into his remarks kept his l hearers iH roar. He said he didn't yet know how he came to be there, and accused the preacher of trying to smoke him out, and stating that he had never been on the fence. and had | declared himself on every rail fence in the county, or words to that effect. l He wished he could make a speech. and there were cries of "go ahead; go ahead; you're alright, etc, and finally just quit amidst a great outburst Of good feeling.
 Rev. Milford was called. and made a snort but earnest speech, declaring ehat when IL was all over the saloon people would have to say that he had treated them fairly.
 At this point quite a number rose

WORK OF Y. NJ. C. A.
STATE COMMITTEE
Conserving Force Of Major POT-
tiOl Of the Organization,

Many persons who are reasonably
well informed or the Y NJ C. A.
work as that is exempllned in vari-
Gus institutions, classes and other ac-
tivities, are not clear in their minds
concerning the part which the State
Committee rlays. The State Com
mittee, however Is the conserving
force Of the major portion of the Y.
NJ. c. A. work An unfortunate lack
Of funds prevents the Y. NJ. c. A. in
many places paying for the services
at the rate commensurate with the
talents which the work demands AS
d natural result positions of secre
tarlCs, educational secretaries, ETC.,
are continually open because as soon
as the young men have demonstrated
their ability in these lines, they are
called-to other and more profitable
fields of work.
It devolves, then, on the State Com
nhttee to supply these places temper
arily and help them in every way in
getting the needed man to fill these
positions permanently.
To a large extent this new talent
is recruited from the College Y. NJ.
c A. work and field, in which Pres
iGent Emory w. Hunt Of Denison
University has been particularly ac-
tive and peculiarly successful. Many
young men just leaving college are
filled with the spirit of enthusiasm
fresh for their work and equipped in
every way to take hold Of the actiyi.
ties which particularly engross young
men and the Y. NJ. c. AS generally.
They are willing to take this work
for very small salaries which for the
most part they could not think Of ac-
oeptlng for any great length Of time,
This is only one Of many of the
activities of the State Committee, but
f. Is the one which, II no others ex-
listed, in the Judgment Of the Y, NJ
C. A. workers, amply justifes its ex
istalce and makes all the local as
sociations gladly contribute to its
support.
The State Committee Is now en-
gagged upon a plan which 1t is hoped
will put its business operations upon
a business basis and enable It to con-
tinue and increase in the unques-
toned field of usefulness It now oc-
cupies.

"one OF my birds tappingl" breathed
the quick-witted girl "You know Mrs
Waythes house was wired for electric
lights, but It has never been connected,
and heavy wires hang down In front
Of my window, and the sparrows perch
there, and then the wires tap on my
window like signal to me. call II

will be three or four birds all cuddled
together there at once. believe they

a great while they have awakened me
at unearthly hours, with their tap
ping, but usually II comes In the
morning"
ITS no matter, ,said Baton.
He turned on his heels as though the
affair were of no consequence.
A rush of thoughts crowded her
mind. This explained 1t all. then. This
was the reason he had come into the
country to find her. He had obeyed a
supernatural summons. The girl down
at Lonsdale" could understand that, OF
course. He had lost all interest in her
Iva Hayman-now that he knew
there was no mytery to probe. OH
But Just as she reached that point,
Baton wheeled back and caught her
by the shoulders.
you did think of me last night by
your fathers bed" he said. you did
wish | could know? You wanted me
to come? Is that part true?"
She tried not to look at him, but
his eyes insisted.
rs It true?"
yes" she acknowledged, under her
breath; her heart had begun to beat
so loudly that It seemed as If he might
hear what It was saying. It said it
over and over, and its message brought
hot flush to her face, she made her
try to draw away from the grasp on
her shoulders.
what are you thinking?" he asked,
as If he had a right. What thought
came into your head just then?"
Throb-throb-thr went that tell
tale heart. Was It possible that he
could hear every word that it said?
She could never tell him-never!"
Tell me-" he insisted.
His eyes were looking into hers,
and then, to her horror. she heard her
self putting words to those heart
beats.
Hes in love with a girl down at
Lonsdalel"
Il am mott" denied Barton, as II he
had been accused of murder; and the
next instant that gossiplng little
heart was muffied tight in a great
overcoat, learning a new song, which
went:
Hes in love with you! He's in
love with you!"

Marie Spiridonova.

In Akatoni, the penal colony, Is
one Marie Spiridonova, whose beauty
is so great that the reports always
read: That though showing proofs Of
all she had undergone, her great
beauty is not really marred" This
young girl had taken it upon herself
TO mete out justice to the governor
general of Tomboy for haying gone
through that province with fire and
sword. He would order peasants to
be whipped, keeping them tied for
two or three weeks lying on the
floors in barns, and taking them out
each day to be whipped again, until
death relieved them. The bench where
the whipping was done would invaria-
bly, be next to the barn where the
men lay, and thus the blows and cries
of the tortured man were heard by
the victims within. Spiridonova went
to meet the governor general at a
railway station, drew out her revol-
yer. which she carried in a muff, and
shot him dead at distance of thirty
feet. Before she had time to use the
revolver on herself she was Jumped
upon by the guards and officers, beat.

Baton, as in a dream, heard Mrs.
Waythe's voice running on. He was
so positive that Iva Hayman had been
there; had been so strangely certain
that he should find hereunder some
unnatural onditions-behind that
closed door that for the moment he
was unable to comprehend the facts
as they We're. In a half-dazed way he
obeyed the summons and walked into
the room. while harrington fingered
resentfully on the threshold.
Suddenl. without knowing why he
did 1t, Baton crossed the floor and
lifted the cover from the typewriter
There was a sheet of paper set in

The
Mysterious
Message
By MARTHA KICKER

When Iva HaymGn's place was va.
cant at supper and again at breakfast
harrington looked worried, but it was
Barton who inquired at the close of
the meal what had become of Miss
Hayman.
Indeed, | don't know what to think
Of it, said Mrs. Waythe, with mother
ly anxiety. She never come in at all
last night, and it's the only time she
ever stayed away"
She was in her room last night,
Mrs. Waythe,' asserted Baton.
oh, you are mistaken" said his
landlady. I've knocked and knocked
at her door this morning without get
ting any answer"
We'll, l heard her up there about
three o'clock this morning." insisted
Baton. Her room being just over
mine distinctly hear any noise there"
he continued.
harrington shook his head q don't
believe she came in last night. She
and were pretty good friends and l
think she would have told me If she
were going to any frolic," he said.
i tell you l know what | am talk
Ing about" Baton repeated. She must
have come in very quietly, but she was
up there and she worked on the type
writer little, just before three
O'Clock. I'd take my oath on it."
i know she writes little stores and
articles for the papers" Mrs. Waythe
said She works at it evenings and
has just bought a machine so she can
typewrite her own manuscripts. OH
what If something has happened to
her up there all alone!" she cried
tremulously. Il hadn't smelIed any
gas, but-or, excuse mel"
She hurried up the stairs, Baton and
harrington following after a moments
hesitation while the rest of the board
ers awaited developments at the
table.
By the time the two men reached the
top floor Mrs Waythe was shaking
Miss Hayman's door and calling her

the girl regained her poise enough to
rally him on the strangeness of his

of his coming to her as he had, but
though he had no way of guessing IT
this was only a partial explanation of
her sudden restraint The truth was
that she had, at that moment, remem.
bered an extremely incongruous fact,
which kept intruding upon her now
with every word he spoke. She was
wondering, with chagrin, how she
could have forgotten, even in the first
surprise of seeing him, those haunting
words Of Mrs. Waythe, told to her a
few days previously:
He's in love with a girl in
Lonsdale, and she's a heartles crea-
ture that has led him a chase for five
years."
Baton kept hoping as they talked
commonplaces for a return Of the
friendly, confiding atmosphere, but he
was disappointed. He was so disturbed
by the change in her manner that it
was not till he was on the point OF
leave-taking that he suddenly remem-
bered to wonder once more what the
Lonsdale girl would say to all this.
He was still standing near the door,
the position he had taken on rising to
leave, when, abruptly, without a word,
but with a curious expression on his
face, he unfolded slip Of paper and
handed 1t to her.
A wave of color swept from her meek
to her nair, and she laughed nerVously
as she took the paper and tore 1t nerv-
ously across.

JEFF TAKES OFF
DAY FROM WORK
Sort Of Rests Up at His
Camp-Billy Papke Has
Arrived

Ben Lomond. Cal, April 20.-Visitors
to Jeffries's training camp yesterday
were disappointed. The big fellow not
only failed to box, but he did very little
work Of any sort. Instead he took the
tranquil treatment and dozed off into
beauty sleep for the greater part of the
day His trainers advised the rest, as
Jeff has been going il pretty stiff for
an old man.
Billy Papke has arrived. He brought
no sparring partner with him, so ii is
up to Jeff's trainers TO work him out
Billy will not start work for few
days.
Papke today expressed much surprise
at Jeffries's good appearance From
some of the pictures 1 saw in the pa
pers," he said, y thought Jeff look ed
like an old man, but he looks no more
like an old man than do. He is down
in weight and appears to me like man
who never had been out of the ring
Jeffries's layoff yesterday apparently
Gid him much good.

York yesterday offering a free ringside
seat and transportation to and from

be auctioned off, it is understood.
