THE DUTIES OF A NURSE.

It is surprising what a really crude idea many
people in this enlightened day and age of the world,
have Of the duties of nurse Nursing is one Of the
most important of all professions, and as usual
thing the welfare of the patient depends fully much
the constant careful attention OF skilled nurse
as upon the knowledge Of the by the physi-
clan. A Minot trained nurse was called into home
in town not far from this city, recently. Although
she arrived at eight o'clock that evening, she
given evening meal. was lying at
deaths door from TYPHOID fever and she needed
every moment of the attention OF the nurse that
she could possibly spare her. A nurse in home
you may know, has to do duty both night and day.
catching wink of sleep now and then, but never
must she neglect the patient in any particular The
medicine must be given at just exactly the right
hour and in the most exact doses. The nurse must
watch the pulse Of the patient to warn the doctor
of pending danger. In short there are thousand
and things that she must look after closely
or her patient might die. nurse, you may re-
member, it not usually called unless the case is
very serious one. q. s' #'..
In this the husband informed tho nurse
that she was supposed to get the meals, keep the
house tidy wash and dress the little boy and send
him to school, wash the dishes, do the washing
and change the wearings apparel Of infant. In
addition, she must follow the Instructions OF the
physician. The husband provided but the planest
kind Of food, no fruit, no beef, merely bread an
egg and some coffee. He was too penurious to
hire girl to wait on the nurse and his family,
and himself cooked the meals when tue nurse re-
fused to be a kitchen drudge. No wonder the nurse
jumped her job and took the next train back to
Minot. We trust that the mans poor wife may live
but she has great odds against her, under such
circumstances. When the nurse comes into your
home, don't forget that her life is drudgerv at
best. Don't expect her to split the kindling, build
the fire. scrub the floors, wash the clothes, cook
the meals, wash the dishes, look after the baby
and send the children to school, If she lick Of
sense she will refuse to do these things.

struck ut the bulls pitched. That the
bulls so straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case
There is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinctlvely American sport. Other coun
tries have tried baseball. but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That Is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball.
Tor baseball without umpire killing IL
like football without girls In the grand

players or the silent Cuban spectators

Americans did not know what to think
of it-until they counted up the gate

SPECIAL TRAIN
 10 MONTICELLO Board of Trade Directors to Meet This Morning to
 Accept Invitation.
WILL TAKE A BAND
To Make the Trip Over the Iron Mountain in One Day-PIan to
 Dispose of Tickets.

The directors of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade will met. this m0rp- ing at ID o'clock at their headauar- ters on Chestnut street for the pur- pose of taking some action on all in- vitation which was recently extended the Board of Trade and the people Of this city and section by the people of Monticello and Drew county to at tend the big barbecue and cornerstone laying at the site of the new State Agricultural school at Monticello on next Thursday, August Il. In all probability the directors will ar range to charter special train over the Iron Mountain, which will accom- modate all from this section who will go to Monticello on that eventful oc- casion. A band of music will be taken along to enliven the trip.
 At a meeting of several prominent members of the Board of Trade, held yesterday, Secretary J. L. Caldwll was requested to call the directors togeth- CT this morning for the purpose of taking some action relative to the special train. They recommended that the invitation of the people of Drew county who hope to entertain ten thousand visitors at the corner- o+o J,o and th hat rangements be made for the special train.
 Agent H. x. Atwood, of the Iron Mountain service, has guaranteed special, consisting of engine, baggage car and three coaches from Pine Bluff to Monticello and return on Thurs day, August II, for $269. The fare for the round trip will be S3.30 and tickets will be on sale August 10 and ii and good for return on August 13. The Board of Trade, however, must guarantee eighty passengers for the special.
 It is figured that the band will cost about $75. The train will leave Pine Bluff at about 6 a. m. arriving at Monticello at 10 a. m. Returning the special will leave Monticello after supper, returning to this city at 10 or ii o'clock the same night.
 The plan of the Board of Trade is to get the merchants, wholesalers, travelling salesmen and others to pur- chase the tickets, distributing the ex- pense among them. All others who desire to make the trip to Monticello on that day, however will be welcome to travel on the special train. The State Agricultural School to be es- established at Monticello is for lief ferson county students as we'll as those of other counties in the Dis trict and the Board of Trade believes that this city and county should be we'll represented.

NEGROES WANT
 TO CHANGE SCHOOL
Urging the Sale of Branch Normal College Here and the Establishment of an Agricultural School in
 This Vicinity.

Prominent negroes of Arkansas will make an effort to get the next leg is iature 10 dispose of the industrial normal for negroes at Pine Bluff, and to get the state to purchase several hundred acres in that vicinity for the purpose of establishing an agricul- tural college in connection with the school. The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas is now con- sidering the right of the board to make such change. The negroes of Little Rock who are behind the movement are also planning hospi- tai for the treatment of negroes in the city ''The school at Pine Bluff teaches mostly literary courses, says John E. Bush, receiver of the land office in Arkansas for the United States, and one of the leading ne- groes of this section, and that is not what the negro needs. We have too much literary education now, with tGO little demand for educated ne- groes. What we want is schools that will teach our people to make, shoes ard boots, to build houses and grow onions, potatoes, corn and cotton. If the state gives us something of that kind we will make rapid progress with the negro race.
