Working On Capitol Nights
 By Using Electric Lights

Little Rock, August 19.-Night has been turned into day at the new state capitol and night force began work ing there Wednesday. Electric lights have been placed about the dome so the work of concreting the shell for the stone can proceed at night as well as bv day. Additional electric lights are being placed in other parts of the building and by Monday night the contractors will be ready to put a night shift on in all depart ments. The work will continue "A hours a day until the building is com pleted. and the contractors believe by working the shifts they can have the building ready for occupancy before December l, the date originally agreed upon. The stone on the dome has been set above the base of the steel frame and the stone on the outside serves as a form for the concrete shell, but a wooden form has been construct ed for the lower side. Fully 100 ne groes are worked in each of the con creting shifts, wheeling barrows of concrete from the top of the hoist to the dome.

Storekeepers Are Not
 Allowed to Peddle

Little Rock, August 19.-Owning a store and being a county or state agent does not entitle man to leave his store and peddle his commodities over the county without being vio- lator of the state anti-peddling act, is the gist of an opinion rendered to- day by Attorney General Norwood. Several applications for opinions in the peddling act have been received during the past week by the attorney general, one coming from a firm of Assyrians which operates a big store in Fort Smith and has peddlers all over the state. This concern wanted to know if it was forced to pay $50 annual license for each peddler to the state, and $50 for each county in which he operated. An affirmative answer was given and the next day the Assyrians sold their store in Fort Smith.

HAD BOUGHT A GOLD BRICK
City Man Found Himself All to tlss Bad In Ills Purchase of Coun-
 try Homo.

William Raymond Sills regular vo cation, in addition to decorating the lobby of the Broadway theater, Is to put pieces in the paper about Lew Fields. For this he receives salary said to be larger than-but what's the use.
 Sill's most notable achievement sr date is a bouncing baby from whom knowledge of his fathers ealing has been withheld thus far. The need Of country air for any reputable off spring was impressed upon Sill by Mrs. Sill last summer, and one eve ming the head of the household tri' umphantly laid a formidable docu- ment in the lap of his fireside conn., panion.
 What's this?" she demanded.
 Deed of the farm," replied Sill.
 Whose farm?" she asked.
 Yours, mine, the kid's," answered her husband.
 Examination of the document proved that 1t called for II acres of land. Subsequent inspection of the property revealed 5000 barrels of the choicest Long Island swamp; 2.000 gallons of malaria and an unlimited supply of eau de board of health. Sill promptly christened the estate Marshmellow Arms and began to cultivate.
 The last time he struck a balance sheet he rejoiced to learn that by his ardous toll he had raised half-acre of pond lilies (yellow), six families of muskrats, and a "scab" bullfrog that croaks only in the afternoon.
 That farm would be great prop osition," sighed Sill, eff I only could get Annette Kellermann to work it for me."-From an article in The Green Book Album.

Walked to Parliament.

All members of parliament did not ride to London from their constituent cies in the old days. MT. Barclay of Ury, who represented Kincardine- shire in the eighteenth century, al. ways walked the whole way doing his 50 miles day with ease. Mara. thon runners may note that his re. freshment on the journey was a bottle of port, poured into bowl and drunk of at a draught. George III took much interest in Mir Barclays achievements and said: 'I ought to be proud of my Scotch subjects, when my judges ride and my members of parliament walk to the metropolis.

Citizen Writes Concerning
 Exorbiant Rates to Boarders

The Log Cabin Democrat has receiv- CIV the following communication from a party who is greatly interested in Conway educational institutions: "Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 q have no wish to criticise those of our citizens who have been taking boarders for our schools during the past years, but I fear that they are adopting a mistaken policy by raising the price of board for the coming session, as I understand many intend to do.
 "The cost of living in Conway should not be higher than at other places, yet Fayetteville offers to the students of the university board, laundry and incidentals at prices ranging from S12.50 to $1500 per month. The Teachers College at Danville makes it's rates from 5000 to $12.00 per month: Warren Training School of fers board as low as S12.00 per month, Ouachita college charges from Sl2.OO to S14.00 per month, Bonneville Co., educational Institute fixes its rates from 5000 to $12.50 for board, and many other schools are offering ln- ducements for outside patronage, by way of low rates for board and such changes in their courses of study as will appeal to the young person desir- ing a course in advance of that which may be afforded in his own town.
 "Already students who had intended to enroll in one of the other of our schools have given up the idea, and will attend where the rates for board are more reasonable. Are our citizens wise in thus checking the attendance at our schools, and, incidentally, the progress of our town?"

THE OPTIMIST.

"We love the man with the rose on the tongue; the man who sees the boys dirty face, but mentions his bright eyes; who notices your shabby coat, but praises your studious habits the man who sees all our faults, but is quick to praise and slow to blame.
 "We like to meet man whose smile will brighten up deadness, whose voice is full of music of the birds, whose very handshake is an inspiration. He makes us forget our troubles as the ravens croak is forgotten when the woodthrush sings. God bless the man who makes us laugh and feel glad that we are a part of this merry old world. There is plenty of trouble here, and we need no increase of it. There is a lot of dying done ahead of time.- Selected.

RING IS 3,20O YEARS OLD
Ornament Once Worn by Court Beauty of Egypt-Is Fine Example of
 Ancient Carving.

The Musee Guimet of Paris has just acquired priceless treasure. provided that 1t will bear investigation better Louvre few years ago M. Guimet. whose name the museum bears, Is an antiquarian and a voluminous writer on antiquities. He seems quite satis- lied that he has added to his collection a ring of the time of Rameses H.. whC iourished about 1900 years before our era.
 The ring was acquired from family of Grenoble in whose possession it had been for long years, and the former owners produced documents which sat isfied M. Guimet as to the authenticity of his acquisition. The ring bears heiroglyphic inscriptions showing that it graced the hand of Nefritarimeri Mout. one of the gives of the once powerful monarch of Egypt.
 The ring is of thick gold carrying comedian stone rectangular, large and flat The stone is inclosed in gold and the ring itself is ornamented with a fillet of gold Tine stone tells the story in hieroglyphics said to repre- sent the kins and Nefritarimeri The perfection of the entaillure is consid cred a proof of the genuineness of the ring, for the modern engravef seldom succeeds with that sureness of cut which is the wonder and admiration of all who are familiar with the ~ngrav. ing of the ancients.
 The ring, we are further told, al though gracing the hand of a court beauty of Egypt in the depths of the past ages. would not be much sought after by fashionable lady today.

SAY WORRY DOES NOT KILL

Modern science has brought to hgh' nothing more suriously interesting than that worry will kill. More re, markable still, it has been able tt determine from recent discoveries just how worry does kill.
 It is believed by many scientists who have followed carefully the 1 growth of the science of brain diseases that scores of the deaths set down tc their causes are due to worry and that alone. The theory is simple one so simple that anyone can readily un- derstand it.
 Briefly. says the Journal of Physio- logical Therapeutics, it amounts to this: Worry injures beyond repalr certain cells of the brain, and the brain being the nutritive center of the body, the other organs become gradu- ally injured. and when some disease of these organs or a combination of them arises death finally ensues.
 Thus worry kills. Incidentally, like many other diseases, it creeps upon the brain in the form of a single con- stant.. never-lost idea and as a drop ping of water over a period of years will wear a groove in the stone So does worry gradually, imperceptlbly and no less surely destroy the brain cells that lead all the rest, which are, so to speak, the commanding officers of mental power, health and motion.
 Worry. to make the theory still stronger. is an irritant at certain points winch produces little harm if 1t comes at intervals or irregularly. De- casional worriment the brain can cope with. but the irritation and the reiter- ation of one idea of disquieting sort the cells of the brain are not proof against.
 It is as if the skull were laid bare and the surface of the brain struck lightly with hammer every few seconds with a mechanical precision, with never a sign of stop or the failure of a stroke. Just in this way does the annoying idea the madden ing thought that will not be done away with, strike or fall upon certain nerve cells. never ceasing, diminishing the vitality of the delicate organisms that are so minutes that they can be seen only under the microscope.-EX.
