: Miss Jessie Rose ret,1rnaf

Miss Jessie Rose returned Sunday from Carlisle, where sh, has been confined to her bed a the home of her parents. Miss Jessie's many friends are indeed glad to hear her saying Mum ber' again.
 The many friends of Dr. Z T. Bennett, former presiding elder of the Helena district, vii be glad to learn of his return from Chicago to his home in Forrest City very much improv. ed from his recent severe ail- ments. The Doctor had gone there to have an operation per. formed on a limb that had been stiffened by infamatory rheuma stism. Mariana Index.
 The White River Confer. ence of the M. E. Church South, which is to be held at Forrest City this year has been postpon- ed two weeks. It was to have convened on November 23rd. The date now set is December z. The people of Forrest City are making great preparations fool the event.
 Postal Savings Banks have been approved for one town in each state as a starter under the late law: Stuttgart is the town selected in this state in which to try the experiment.. So far as we have heard our bankers seem to think the Postals will detract very little if any of their depos- it's, and otherwise may be bene- ficial to their business. The gov ernment has long been in the printing business to the detri- ment of printers. It now goes into the banking business, and there is no telling how soon it may go into the general mer- chandise, drug, grocery or other lines. Forrest City Times.

Had You Thought of This.

The merchant who advertises his goods advertises and helps build up the town. The hustline advertising business men are the ones that make a town and are entitled to the trade of the pub lie because they work not fol themselves alone but for the gen. eral up-building of the commu. nity.
 l The advertising merch ant is like a Barnacle on g ship. He moves because the town moves, retards it's progress rath- CT than helping it to grow. The town and community would be better off without him or his business. He is a parasite upon the business of the town, doing nothing to stimulate or enlarge the towns business activity but merely sapping his own exist ence out of the life of the town.
 He is like the drone in the bee hive. Doing none of the work of up-building the town.
 The business man who does not believe in advertising does not believe in fostering any public enterprise, but he does believe in, when he gets cus- toner, pumping him good and hard. His motto is small sales and big profits.
 These are things to be remem- bered when you come here to trade. If you believe in the growth of your city patronize her enterprising business men.

Ancient Barge From the Thames.

At Westminster, where the WORK
of building the new County Hall is
rapidly progressing. the BLACK
Thames mud has yielded up an in
teresting relic Of the past in the form
of the remains of an ancient barge
in an excellent state of preservation
The first signs Of the vessel were dis
covered last February, and since thai
time the work Of clearing away the
slime in which it is embedded has
been carefully proceeding. The work
has disclosed a boat eighteen feet
wide by nearly forty feet long, solid
ly built Of oak. There is no sign
that n metal was used in its con.
struction, and the planks, which are
between two and three inches thick.
are held together by stout wooden
pegs.
To the lay mind it appears prob
able tnat the boat. vas abandoned

marshes owing to bad steermanship
or in the course of a raid, and that it

A Window Pane Photograph.

Photographed on a window pane
at the home Of DR.. L. L. Capron at
Central City, Neb., is the face and
figure of Miss Alice Logan, of Omaha.
The likeness was first seen a few
days ago, when DR.. Capron happened
to look into the house from the out
side, although facts show that it was
impressed there a full year ago by a
freak of lightning. DR.. Capron was,
of course, startled at first, because
the image appeared to be that OF a
young woman sitting at the window,
with features most distinct and de-
sign and color of dress plainly visible.
Miss Logan having been an inti-
mate friend of the Caprons for years,
the doctor was in no doubt as to the
identity of the person revealed in the
picture. On being asked Miss Logan
remembered we'll being seated iQ the
position shown in the window pane
while a thunderstorm was raging out

corded of the outlines of human
hands being registered by lightning,
but the case of a woman's likeness be-
ing preserved in a pane of glass is
something new to Nebraska.-Wash-

Eureka.

Eureka, or, rather, Heureka, Is the
exclamation of Archimedes, the SYRIA
cusan philosopher, when he found out
how to test the purity of Hiero's
crown.
The tale is that Hero suspected
that a craftsman to whom he had Civ.
en- a certain weight of gold to make
into a crown had alleged the metal,
and he asked Archimedes to ascertain
if his suspicion was we'll founded. The
philosopher, getting into his bath. OBJ:
served that the water ran over, and
it flashed into his mind that his body
displaced it's own bulk in water. Now,
suppose Hero gave the goldsmith one
pound Of pure gold, and the crown
weighed one pound, it is. manifest
that if the crown were pure gold both
ought to displace the same quantity
of water; but they did not do so, and
therefore the gold had been lamp
cred with. Archimedes next immersed
in water one pound Of silver, and the
difference of water displaced soon
gave the clue to the amount of alloy
introduced by the artifcer. New

Handicapped People.

Much of the important work Of the
world has always been done by men
severely handicapped - by physical
detectives, cripples, the manned, and
the chronic invalids; and this is some
thing for US who live in an age Of the
cult of athleticism to bear in mind.
Darwin was subject to distressing
headaches all his life, and yet he
made good" as the phrase goes,
leaving an immortal name in the hall
of fame. Sir Andrew Clark, physi-
clan to Queen Victoria, was, as a
young doctor, told by older men in
his profession that he had but n
lung and would die in six months.
eff 1 have but one lung" he said, ut
must do the work Of two" His long
and eminently useful medical career
did not terminate till he was past
three-score and ten. One of the most
progressive statesmen of Mexico, the
late General Carlos Pacheco, who was
compared by President Diaz to a COM
bination locomotive, had but n arm
and one leg. Half a man, but worth
a man and a half" the President re-
marked of him.-Mexican Herald.

JUDGE BREWERS TALE

views. A Washington diplomat re-

Justice Brewer in illustration Of the
need for tolerance.

Color Effects.

IN writing OF color effects on white
costumes Vogue says that many of
the white costumes have yellow and
pale copper tints for collar, cuffs and
front emplacements to the Etons or
short box coats. Some Of these are
of silk, some of cloth in the chiffon
quality, while linen and pique in yell
lows, pinks, cerise and blues are also
used for such contrast trimmings.
All gray costumes of a light shade in
the softest of fine linen crash
trimmed with silk braids to match,
are extremely distingue, having
enough white lingerie worn for relief
in chemisette and in partial sleeves
to make further becomingness as
sured. Some of the white-haired ma
irons seek darker grays and e
them with brilliant touches Of cardi-
nal red, burnt orange and parrot
green inset in plastrons, turnover
collars, revers and cuffs of white an
tique lace or of very yellow lace, the
costume presenting a very dressy eff

The Telephone in the Country.

The farmers wife has a new re-
source. Her lot has been improved
in many ways in the last ten years.
The separator" and the creamery
have relieved her of the severest toll
Of the dairy. The rural free delivery
brings magazines and newspapers to
her door. Lately the telephone has
put her within distance of her neigh
bors. The nearest farmhouse may be
half a mile away, and the village
three miles. The lines of poles and
the wires, perhaps merely the wire
fence, have suddenly drawn her into
an intimate relation to both, unknown
to her before. To one who has never
experienced the solitude of the farm
it is hard to realize the JOY Of the
wife and mother at being able to con-
suit a friend about the cut of the
baby's coat, the recipe for mince pies
or the dose of cough syrup.
The demand for the telephone in
the country is imperative. EVERY
body's got one," said the village
storekeeper to the city visitor.
"Why, there's three families that's
being helped by the town, and every
one of EN- has got a telephone. Old
Mis- Bearce says she'd rather go
without her v~ictuals than have the
telephone taken out!" What a testi-
mony to the desire for human COM
panionship! The gossiping instinct,
ome cynic will say. But, after all,
what is that but the wish to compare
notes on the permanently interesting
study of human nature-a study as
fascinating to the unknown country
woman as to h efamous psychologist?

A Novel Picture Gallery.

PHOTOGRAPHERS always have a large
collection of plates on hand from
work done and passed out of use.
Generally these plates go through a
chemical bath and have all foreign
matter removed, leaving the glass
clear. A club of men which boasts
several photographers, amateur and
professional, among its members has
recently acquired a new country club
house for it's summer use. In reality
this is a much tumbled though pic
turesque old Pennsylvania farm
house. The club members, with
much enthusiasm, have been spend
ing some days in repairing the place
and making it fit for occupancy. The
windows were all paneless, and for
the club to buy the quantity of glass
necessary to fix them all up was uot
of the question. An ingenious mind
got to work; the photographers were
called upon for contributions in the
form Of old plates, and now the old
farmhouse is a curiosity to all who
have entry there, for the members
who did the glazing decided that the
plates were good enough as they
were without cleaning, SO every pane
is a discarded negative. Its all
right" said a member; cts the be-
ginning of a picture gallery.

Now For the Spiral Garter.

An eminent London physician,
whose speciality is the treatment OF
children, inveighs against the mod
ern suspender-a substitute for the
garter introduced during recent years
and very generally worn by the pres
ent generation of girls.
= The suspender is at attachment of
the stay that clips the edge Of the
stocking above the knee and keeps
that garment taut and trim. Mothers
and nurses applaud it's neat appear
ance, and children like it because it
is comfortable. But many of them
are prone to the use Of the %suspender
in a very tense form, injurious to
health and growth, urging against a
loose strip of elastic its inability to
keep the stockings from wrinkling.
The old elastic garter worn loose
defeated it's own aim; worn tight it
interfered with the circulation of the
blood. The suspender in its taut
form is apt to press unduly upon the

her down. 1t is condemned on this
account by the specialists, who rec
ommend in its stead the old-fash-
toned grandmother's garter, made of
cotton.
These were knitted by hand upon
two fine steel pins, and usually four
teen stitches were set on the first pin
and the simplest knitting pattern
known was employed. Expert knit
tiers, however, chose to embellish
their handiwork with openwork bars
between solid pieces, to vary the mo-
notony of the design. The essential
characteristic Of the garter was its
length, which was never under one
and a half yards and often measured
close upon seventy-two inches. 1t

knowledge and experience were more
important to educational progress
than a political pull. Therefore Mrs.
Young got elected and the politicians
got left.
Chicago has about 500 public
schools, and Mrs. Young is boss Of
every one of them. Chicago has 30S.-
900 school pupils, and Mrs. Young is
to a large extent the arbiter Of their
educational destiny. When she vas
first elected some persons had their
doubts as to whether she would meas.
ure up to the requirements Of the sit
uation. Nobody seems to have any
such doubts at the present writing.
1t is generally conceded that she has
made good in every particular. The
schools were never better conducted,
and the system was never more har-
monious. The teachers like Mrs.
Young, the pupils adore her, and the
taxpaying public is well pleased.
Mrs. Young is sixty-five years old,
and doesn't hesitate to say SO. In the
light of her achievements, the Osler
theory isn't worth a cent. The Ma
tional Educational Association has
done itself credit in selecting her as
its president. - Louisville Courier

People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
sooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance Of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping te%aspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with a little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meagez amount Of butter, and one
cup of wellmade Postum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot. car
b%onaceous foods have been left OUT
The result is a very marked d~ifference|
In the temperature Of the body, and
to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-l
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly sssimilatec by the|
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment In food,|
and it's application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.

Mrs. Ella FIagg Young.

Speaking about remarkable women
in the United States, no n should
overlook Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, Of
Chicago. She was elected president
of the National Educational Associa-
ton in Boston the other day. When
Mrs. Young wants an honor of that
kind all she has to do Is to say so and
leave tie rest to her enthusiastic
friends.
The nominating committee Of the
National Educational Association did
not favor the election Of a woman as
president of that body. The commit
tee was against Mrs. Young, and it
recommended a man for the place,
but Mrs. Young's friends got busy i'm
mediately, and when the voting was
over Mrs. Young's name lied all the
rest"
It was the same way a year ago
when Mrs. Young ran for S%uperinten-
dent Of the Public Schools of Chicago.
Half a dozen men wanted the job, and
strove for it with might and main.
These men had influence in a political
way. She had never attended a ward
convention in her life. She knew
nothing of party rules or usuages.
She had never cast a vote or fixed"
a precinct, but she knew a lot about
schools, for she had been teaching a
long time. The Board of Education
took the sensible view that school

Choosing q Trunk.

A good trunk is not necessarily an
expensive one, but it may be service
able and of neat appearance. Always
select a trunk of skirt length. Small
trunks are usually ~thirty-lve and
t~hirty-nine inches long-not long
enough for placing full length skirts
in them. A paper lining in a trunk
usually covers cheap material, and
pique or cretonne Innings are usually
earmarks of better grades. Stat
braced trunks are durable, yet less SO
than plain trunks with bound cor
ners. Mark a trunk with initials, star,
or conventional design so that ii
may easily be found when some rapid
transit is necessary at a railroad sta
ton. Always have two keys and in.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND
Has More Romance Attached to 1t
Than Any Other Institution.

Has More Romance Attached 10 IL
Than Any Other Institution.
There is no institution that has
more romance attached to it than the
Bank Of England, according to Ches-
ter E. Symonds, a banker, of London.
cit has been nearly ruined on sew
eral occasions; it has been beset by
thieves, one gang robbing it of more
than $500, 900 thirty years ago; for
gerry and frauds have been practiced
upon it by the most accomplished
criminals in history, and yet AS safe
as the Bank of England is a saying
which, in spite Of the institutions
many ups and downs, Is true to the
letter. Had it not been for a very
smart use on the part of n OF the
directors the bank would have failed
over a century ago.. This is what hap
pened: A panic sprang up among
banknote holders, a panic that spread
and spread before any n was aware
of what was happening. One morn
ing, just after the hank opened, an
angry and excited crowd thronged the
street, demanding cash for notes. The
value of the notes in the hands of the
mob was actually double that Of the
gold in the bank, and the outlook
was a bad one. Gold had to be got
to pay to every claimant, but that
took time. So the directors sent men
with notes into the crowd, and their
claims were attended to first. Each
was paid in s~ixpences and shillings.
Some Of them walked away with sacks
of shillings over their backs, but the
time gained by this method of pay
ment saved the bank, and every claim
was paid. .... ...r r..
after this the bank decided to re-
assure its depositors by displaying in
the windows and ear the cashiers
desks sacks overlowing with sover-
eigns, but the public did not know
that the sacks were full of coal, with
only a layer Of sovereigns on top
