server of human life and character, and his intensely sympathetic nature was we'll ballasted with humor and solid, common sense But I have of- ten wondered if it is fortunte or unfortunate accomplishment to be able. at the same time, as he was, to laugh with his mind and cry with his heart. People are handicapped for the stern battle of life who have this gift of seeing with their thoughts as v:vidly as with their eyes. It was this keen perception, this deep sym pathy, and profound understanding of the Spiritual as we'll as the mental needs of his pupils which brought him the universal adulation, rever- ence and love of them.
 In looking back at ones own life and trying to trace what are the things that have had a deep and per- nlanent influence on ones character, how rarely is it possible to point to a particular person and say, "that person gave me the message I most needed, made me take the right turn, gave me the requisite bias, the mo- mentuous impulse;' yet I feel that many of the alumni, as we'll as a vast number of the present students of the Pine Bluff High School, can point to Mir. Benton as the Stimulus.

 He taught us that ill our small sphere we should live truly and purely, to practice courage and sin cerity, to help our fellow sufferers to encourage all the sweet, whole some joys of life, to- Sum up at night what thou has done

 His untimely demise terminated a useful, unselfish life, spent in an all truistic effort to inculcate in the stu dents the desire for noble attain ments. His ending brings us to the mystical region of the Spirit, the re- zion of intuition and intellect, which is a far stronger, more vital and more general region than the artis- tic or the intellectual. And further, there comes the deepest intuition of all, the relation of the human Spir- it to it's Maker-its originating cause It is easy to submit to the will of God, when it sends us joy and peace, when it showers blessings upon us.

ing knowledge.
 To some few it is a natural voca- ton, and to the elect of those few Mr. Benton belonged. He was a born teacher, with him it was an art and he felt it demanded a skillful ar tlst, just as medicine demands medj- cal tact ill him who has medical knowledge, as philosophy demands ph1losophic tact from those who nre- tend to be philosophers, as poetry de- mands to be essayed only by poet.
 lie was a skilled artisan in his chosen profession, for he had the rare gift of imparting knowledge and ms yeneration for what is small and mean and noxious was so perfectly and constantly before us, that uncon- sclously the ideas of what lines we should follow were inculcated within our impressionable child minds. with out any evidence that the rules and regulations of our future lives were being studied and absorbed.
 Four years his wise and under-
 standing hand guided us through tne valley and the shadow of ignor- ance. While we have only come to the beginning of the way, the path of rectitude, of high, clean living. of pure thoughts and noble ambitions has been cleared for us. For be- l1eve that there is in life a great and guarded City, of which we ma; be worthy to be citizens. We may truly reach that City over the road of er- TOT, pain and blunders; but the road has been cleared by our teacher, and we can discern the City afar off, with her radiant spires and towers, her walls of strength, her gates of pearl.
 l speak in a parable, but those who are finding the way will under stand that the road is the we'll worn one of ambition. The is known by many names and wears different aspects to different hearts. To me it is the City of Achievement. No one who has entered there is ever in any doubt again He may wonder far from the walls, he may visit it but rarely, but it stands there in peace and glory, the one true and real thing for him in mortal time, and whatever lies beyond
 The best work of the world is done, not by those who organize on a large scale, who are lauded and prais- ed by press and public, but by those who work faithfully on individual lives, in corners and in by-ways. Their success depends upon the power that they may posses of in spring effort. Such success has crowned MT. Bentons arduous exer- tion with the many students who have been under him.
 As an Educator he had no peer. He has, by the example of his own in tellectual activity, given us the de- sire for greater erudition. He has launched us on the sea of life, with the memory of his extraordinary yer satility of mind, his restless energy, his high ideals and lofty ambitions to encite us on to more earnest en- deavor for the attainment of our ideals.
 He was shrewd and wonderful ob-

If is we'll known fact that among the other idiosyncrasies of our pecu- liar mental makeup, we atoms on tbis mundane sphere are always look inp to "far off heights;'' to far away countries, to far away days, for the fulfillment of every desire, ambition and hope, when in the humdrum, ma teralistic workings of our daily life the fundamentals of every one of these may be found.
 The old adage, That from afar the fields are always green,'' can be di- rectly applied to this.
 Human nature is very much tho sane the world over. We look to the past or future for the motifs of OUT daily life, for that felicity which Ibsen says, "must be found ill the seeking and not in the results And while, from the pages of history and literature we learn of many famous heroes and men of great erudition and charm, the stage of the world today about us is crowded with in- teresting and fascinating personali- ties, rich in contrasts, in character istics, in humor, in pathos; daily with souls that cringe and plot, we Sinais climb and know it not"
 So in selecting the subject for my final thesis, I have not delved into the realms of long forgotten lore, "
 the archives of the lives of famous men; but have taken one, known and beloved by all of us, one of natures noblemen, our late lamented princi- pal, Instructor and friend, Robert Talbot Benton.
  The sea gives her shells to the
 shingle,
 The earth gives her streams to the

it was the conclusion of the arbi- !rators that this advance should bf. gwen solely because the cost nf liy- ing has advanced at a very substan- tlal rate. In addition, number of increases were granted where it was shown that extra work was demand ed.
 In the freight service the raise will average between II and 12 Der cent. The same is practically true so far as yard men are concerned. Members of the brotherhood who work on the bib type of engines op- erated on the various lines will re- ceive an addition in pay amounting to between 15 and 16 per cent On these big engines the pay hereafter will average in the neighborhood of $3.SO per day and in a number of in- stances $4. It is evident that the railroad employees made good on the proposition that the increased cost of living entities them to more pay.

Chicago, H., June 11-Twenty-sev- en employees on fifty-one railroads operating west, northwest and south west of Chicago will receive a wage increase aSSregating $3.0G0,000 a year as result of decision given yesterday by the arbitration board chosen some time ago to pass upon the demands of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen IF an increase in pay.
 The award of the arbitrators means an increase in wages all along the line ranging between ten and twelve per cent. The arguments of repre- sentatives of the railroad employes that the increased cost of living at the present time fully warrants a boost in pay were sustained by the arbitration board, which held that an increase of 15 cents day is due the railroad employees who are paid on the basis of their daily toll and that a similar increase should be paid to the men whose remuneration is fig tired on the hundred sched.
