Milk from Oil Can.

San Francisco.-A little baby whale,
only sixteen feet long and of pale
pink complexion. was the cause OF
much solicitude and sorrow on the
part of the captain of the pilot-boat
Lady Mine.
At first Captain Pentland. on spying
the queer object floating on the wa
tiers off Meiggs wharf, thought 1t was
a boat turned turtle. On nearing the
object, however, he discovered 1t to
be forlorn orphan whalette and his
soft heart was moved to compassion.
He resolved to mother it, but how?
That was a new experience in his
salty life. and he was stumped. Sud
denly he bethought him of quantity
of milk in his messroom. The captain
rushed below as one inspired. There
was the milk. but where was the w,.ale
bottle? In vain he searched for an
appropriate vessel. Then his eyes lit
on an oil can.
This he seized, filled with milk and
hurried abaft. He was doomed to
grievous disappointment. The waif of

TEACHER A SUICIDE
PRINCIPAL OF PINE BLUFF
 SCHOOL ENDS OWN LIFE.
signed by Relatives or Friends.

Pine Bluff-Prof R. T. Benton principal of the Pine Bluff high school committed suicide at 7:20 o'eloek Mon day morning at his home, 406 East Twelfth avenue, by firing bullet into his brain. He used 3s-calibcr re- volver. The weapon was placed against his right temple and only one shot was fired. He died almost in- stantiv.
 Prof. Benton arose at the usual hour and apparently prepared to go to the high school to take up his customary duties. He ate hearty breakfast and passed from the dining room into his bedroom. A few seconds later shot was heard and when his wife and oth- CT occupants of the home rushed into the room they found the lifeless body of the teacher lying on the floor The smoking revolver was nearby and blood was flowing from a wound in the right temple.
 The motive of Prof. Benton $ suicide is not clear, unless it was due to de spondency over the recent death of his mother at Mt Sterling, Ky. His unus- ual manner at the Pine Bluff high school for the past ten days was gen. orally commented upon by pupils, but it was not thought that he was plan ming to end his life.

Helena.-J. w. Bishop, general coun- sel, and Martin Walsh, general freight agent of the Memphis, Paris and Gulf railroad, spent Saturday and Sunday in Helena conferring with business men of the city with reference to the ex. tension of the line to this city. Be. fore leaving Monday MT Bishop said that the proposition of Helena had been accepted and that the line would be built to this city. Temporarily, at least, he said, Helena would be the eastern terminal, but eventually the line will be extended to Memphis. Pos. sibly bridge will be erected across the Mississippi river at Helena.
 The road asks three years in which to complete the line to Helena, but Mir Bishop said he thought it would be completed much sooner than this. The terms of the contract will not be made public at he present time. MT Bishop in company with President Brown will return to Helena as soon as the road 8 board of directors has ratified the agreement, at which time contracts will be formally drawn and signed.

Court Condemns Pistol "Toter."

Pine Bluff.-In empaneling the lief ferson county grand jury for the March term of the Jefferson circuit court, Judge A. B. Grace delivered a forceful charge, in which he emphatically de- nouneed the carrying of concealed weapons and the little regard for the gaming laws.
 Judge Grace declared that no man in the county is high enough above the law to escape indictment if he violates it, nor is any man too low to receive protection under the law. He urged the grand jurors to institute a thorough investigation of all persons who make a habit of carrying conceal ed weapons. He argued that a man does not wear weapons for ornaments, but that when he places one in hip pocket it is in preparation to kill some one. After crime is committed, he said, it is common thing for the de- fendant to say "I saw him reach for his hip pocket" " zone of the remark able things about such tragedies, ' said Judge Grace. lis the fact that in almost every homieidal ease the de fendant invariably comes forward and pleads that he did not have any inten- tlon of harming anyone.

 The healer anointed each with liquid from a little bottle and said prayer

An Egg Within an Egg.

Marked Tree-Mrs. Paul Leather wood, wife of the cashier of the Bank of Marked Tree, has the prize hen of this town. It is only common breed biddy, but she gets there just the same. The hen has nest all to herself and she lays double-shelled eggs-two at time-both in one shell, though the i'm ner egg has q shell also. The eggs are good deal larger than the ordinary ones, and as the bank cashier is very fond of this delicacy, Mrs. Leather wood, in preparing some for his break fast last week, selected one of these large eggs. On breaking the shell shs was greatly surprised to find, beside the white and yelk, another perfectly formed egg encased in it's shining shell.
