President Taft talked the matter
over with several senators.

having been educated in the jesuit
college at New Orleans and later at
| Georgetown university, Washington.
At the age of sixteen he enlisted in
the Confederate army and fought all

mitted to the Louisiana bar and began
practice in New Orleans.
He entered politics at the age OF
twenty-nine, when he was elected a

Ing on the supreme bench of his ma
tive state at the age of thirty-three as
an associate justice
His next public Office was awarded
him in 1890, when he was elected to
the United States senate, succeeding

larity was attested to by the fact that
he received the entire vote of his party
in caucus and was elected by 119
votes against II received by his Re-
publican opponent.

The Palace Drug Store

1t is pleasure at any and all
times to enter as conveniently
arranged and tastily kept store as
that of DR.. w. Il. Hamil, proprie-
tor of the Palace Drug store, dealer
in drugs and sundries. If there is
any profession in which 1t is neces-
sary for a man to thoroughly know
his business it is that of the drug
gist and in this particular regard
Pocahontas is peculiarly fortunate
as DR.. Hamips competency in com
pounding drugs is acknowledged.
In addition to carrying a complete
line of medicines the store is stock
ed with notions, fine cigars, per-
fumeries, toilet articles, paints, oil,
etc in fact everything that is us
ually found in a frst-class store of
this character. The soda fountain
and excellent service assists in max
ing this place one of the most at
tractive in Pocahontas and DR..
Hamil is ably assisted by Taid
Hughes, who is an expert in the
dispensing of soft drinks and creams
of which this department is well
supplied.
The promptness and correctness
with which every order is filed is
one of the pleasing features which
characterize the Palace Drug Store.

PUBLICITY is A
PAYING INVESTMENT
fort Smith Has Reaped A Harvest
by use of Printers Ink

"Fort Smith during the past
year spent $4,000 in advertising
that city az a logical and advanta'
geous location for factories and
other industries, and the business
men who contributed this fund feel
that the money has been well spent
in expending the sum in advertise
ing more than 5000 inquiries were
received by The secretary, which
means that at least that number OF
people now know that Fort Smith
ls on the map.
Several new factories were secur'
ed and it is estimated that the city $
population has been increased by
this method fully 1000.
Plans for another years publicity
campaign will be made at onoe'on
a more far reaching basis than ever
before"

Easter

The term "Easter" is supposed to
have been derived from Ostera, or
Eastre, the goddess of spring, and
the personifiCatlon Of the morning.
The feast of this goddess was cele-
brated by the ancient Saxons in the
spring of the year.
The ancient pagan festival was
utilized by the early Christian
fathers and by them turned into the
Christian observance now known
throughout Christendom as "East-
er." There was a difference among
the eastern and western churches as
to the date of this observance, but
in 325 A. ID. the council of Nice
declared that the Easter celebration
should be held on the first Sunday
following the full moon on or after
March 81. IL the full moon should
happen to be on Sabbath, then
Easter shca.d fall on the following
Sabbath.
The Christian Easter commemo-
rates the most vital fact in Chris
tianlty. In these days it has been
made an occasion for the display of
flowers and millinery, but underly-
ing all else is the basal fact that
Easter commentaries the resurrec-
tion of Christianity's founder.
Christianity, as divine revela-
ton, stands or falls with the estab-
lishment or overthrow of this fact.
If the resurrection of the prophet
of Galilee was not an actual and
accomplished fact, then his claims
70 the spiritual leadership of man
kind are spurious. He based the
success Of his mission on the fact
of his resurrection. If he did not
rise from the grave, he was bias
phemer or an ignUant frantic
If he did rise, as he predicted
he would, then the seal of divine
truth was upon all be taught and all
he wrought.
There are many who cannot be-
lieve in the miracle of the resurrec-
tion. For them the Easter celebra-
tion is all foolishness. But multi.
tudes believe with unfaltering faith
in this triumph or the God.ma over
death and the grave.
To them Easter is a day of cheer,
hope and JOY. The basal fact of
Christianity gives foundation and
force to their faith and hope. More
Joy bells will peal forth their notes
of victory today, more glorious an
thems and oratories will break forth
from human hesrts and voices, more
human tongues will speak and sing
the praises of humanity's Christ
shan at any time since the angels
said to the affrighted women at the
gateway of the tomb: "He is not
here, he is risen, as he said; come,
see the place where they laid him. "
The Christian faith is too deep
rooted in the heart of h umanity
ever to die away and the annual
Easter celebrations serve to
strengthen that faith.

PALS HE PREACHED ON"
BETRAY PAROLED THIEF,
All-arOund Crook to Return to
Cape May Prison.

TRENTON, Dec. 12.-Treachery tc
his pal, upon whom ne ''peached," has
resulted in the arrest of A. c. Knox, oil
Cape May county, who is wanted by
he State prison authorities for vio-
lating his parole. Knox is regarded b.
the authorities as an adept in almost
any line of crooked work. He was
committed from Cape May county in
September, 1905, to serve nine years
for uttering forged checks n obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
In 1909, after serving about half his
sentence, he was paroled. He obtained
a position in New York with a taxi
cab company, and after being employed
there nearly a year disappeared, and
1t was found that he had been robbing
the cash boxes of the company.
Following this action KNOWS parole
was revoked by the State prison Of
flcials here. Then he was traced to
California and Mexico and back TO
Maryland. His path through the coun-
Try was plainly marked by clever
swindling schemes. About a month ago
four men were arrested in New York
for pulling off a clever tobacco swim
die. One OF the foul obtained his re-
lease by giving up" on his pals. This
was Knox. The three who were con-
victed, learning of his ~treachery, dis
closed to the New Jersey authorities
his identity.

URGES CITIES TO BUY
ALL THE WATERSHEDS.
Mayor Mcbride Plans Con-
ference.

PATTERSON, Dec. 12.-It WAS learned
yesterday that Mayor Mcbride has
made a proposition to municipalities in
the Passaic Valley district and other
cities, which, il adopted, will result In
the wiping out of private water COM
paniey in this section of New Jersey
and the creation OF a municipal water
supply. A conference of the various
municipal authorities viii be held
shortly in this city.
The idea ia create an inter-city water
supply was ~propagated last spring, and
according to the plans now under way
the allied water companies, including
the Passaic Water Company, which
supplies Paterson. win be bought out
and the system maintained as a public
enterprise.
The Mayor has declared that Pater-
con should own its own water supply.
but this is impossible under the present
laws. Mayor Mcbride believes than an
inter-city supply can be made possible.
The idea is to have q public supply so
that cities may obtain water at a
lower price.
In his proposition TO the municipalie
ties the Mayor has asked II they are
zach willing to appropriate Il sum based
on 800 for each 100000 gallons of wa
ter used a day to defray the prelimin-
airy expenses incident to the purchase
of the private rights The plan now Ia
to acquire the conpany's rights first
and then with tho permission Of the
state authorities to develop the
Wanadue or other watersheds for a
greater supply.

WRESTLING GETS SECOND
TRYOUT TOMORROW NIGHT

Wrestling of the brand so success
fully introduced by Joe HUMPHREYS at
the Grand Central Palace recently Will
get its second tryout at the Palace to-
morrow night. If this carnival ends as
satisfactorily as the last one, 1t may
be safely said that the sport will have
been firmly established, for a time at
least. HUMPHREYS again has as his great
drawing card, Zybszko, as the star
performer, but this time the weighty
Pole is given a harder task to per-
form. His job will be a finish match
with DR.. Roller, best w out of three
falls. Zybszko, recently undertook to
throw Roller In thirty minutes in
Chicago, but failed. Frank Gotch, too,
tried TO put Roller down In thirty
minutes, but didn't succeed. 1t will be
seen. therefore. that Roller is some
wrestler, and Is likely to give "Ayb'
a tough session.

T~anengath. a ~14-year-old Harlem school
girl. is dying in an uptown hospitai
as the result of eating too much
Christmas candy. She was taken to
the hospital Saturday night in an I'M

from the counter of a department store
where she had found employment dur
ing the holidays.
She was munching a piece of the
candy in the store on Saturday, when
she suddenly fell to the floor in con-
v~ulsions, which ended only when she
lapsed into Inconsistencies.
The police have been ordered by the
coroner's office to investigate the cir
cumstances of her condition and OBJ
tain for analysis samples Of the candy
which made her i'll.
