England Wants icsmen.

London Lancet: The supply Of pure
ice in his country for domestic pur-
poses is not as abundant or available
as it should be, n it is absurd that
practically the only shop where 1t may
be obtained is that kept by the fish
monger. who keeps 1T, not for the pur-
poses of consumption. but for the COOL
ing OF fish. The ~fishmonger.s shop does
not always represent an environment,
that is, sanitarily speaking. satisfac-
tory; yet, when ice Is wanted in sick,
ness or in health the only. tradesman
that can be found to supply 1t Is the
flshmonger. n his supply Is usually
limited. 1t seem ridiculous that in
the English summer the demand for
ice should not be suficient to warrant
h establishment of a special agency
for its supply.
We feel sure that IL such q scheme
could be organized 1t would be widely
appreciated and would succeed as soon
as h public realized how much better
and how much healthier 1t is to have
their food and beverages kept cool dur.
Ing the days OF a hot and ~seasonable
summer. AS 1T is, they have to be
content with the semi LIQUID butter and
mawktsh lukeWarm beverages which
should be cold, especially those which
are aerated. A cheap and abundant
supply of pure ice for domestic pur-
poses would Civ the hOuee-keeper q
chance Of keeping a cool store room
in which meat, poultry. eggs and other
%perishable articles of food could be
preserved. Not only would waste OF
food be so prevented, but the rayaRes
Of the p%utrefying agencies Of hot
weather would be checked and the food
saved from becoming unwholesome if
not positively dangerous. In fact. we
imagine that nobody will deny the very
great advantages derived from keeping
certain foods cold in the summer, and
preserving them in a state At for con-
sumption and attractive to the eve and
palate: and yet practically no steps are
taken to supply such an Important
need.

Leo Fox was his name. and FoX he
wa by nature as well as by his name,
though how his parents could have
saddled him with such Il combination
as Leo" and Fox" is Il mystery, as
they were people of good birth and
education. But Leo was quite another
sort. and l hope l may be forgiven
err"
The characteristics OF his species are
pretty generally known. so l need not
enlarge on them, but curiously enough
there vas in this young man also a
vein of pure cunning; he thoroughly
enjoyed deceit for its own sake, and
was never so happy as when playing a
double part.
You will say that l nave given my
self away now, n that 1 must have
some reason for taking away another
man's character.
For he best of reasons l could not
do that-he simply had no character,
but l admit I had good cause both to
dislike him and for my poor opinion
of him.
Leo Fox was engaged to Miss Angel
or to be more correct, Miss Angela
Devine-and cad as he was, 1 have
heard him give as a toast, The Divine
| Angel!"
Miss Angel, as I always called her,
was the only daughter of old Devine,
a rich country banker, we'll known
for his philanthropic work and temper
ance leanings-I had nearly said fads
blu in spite of these little drawbacks
he was a most charming old gentleman
: in all but n respect, and that was
that he could not be brought to see the
real character of the man to whom he
a promised his beautiful daughter.
Leo's parents died when he was
about fifteen. The whole OF their for
tune having been swept away by the
failure OF an investment for which MIR.
make amends by adopting the lad, and
in time making all fair and square by
a marriage between his ward and his
only daughter.
Leo was certainly as fond Of Miss
Angel as it was possible for him to
looked upon him AS just Leo" and
criticised him nc more than we usually
do those with whom we have been
brought up. But after the engagement
there came a change.
Perhaps 1 had something to do with
1 had a considerable reputation as
one Of the coming men at the School
of Art i'm the neighboring town of
Hampton, and having i~ntroductions to
old Mr.. Devine, 1 became installed as
drawing master in ordinary to his
daughter.
My modest income was, however, by
no means to my taste, and 1 determined
to try for press work. Very soon 1
cut the School of Art altogether. but
went over to Little Hampton village
regularly to instruct my best pupil, for
h had a clever turn for caricature,
and m day l came upon a collection
of drawings in which her acquaint-
| anceS figured.
There was a capital sketch of me
as "Rrer Rabbit which I did not in
the least resent, and Leo was "Brer

Of this festival. Saman, the lord OF
death. called together the wicked
souls that within the last twelve
months had been compelled to in
habit the bodies of animals. That the
celebration Of Halloween comes from
the Druids is further proved by the
fact that even yet in some parts of
Ireland October 81 is known as
"Oidhche Schamna," or the vigil of
Stamina. On to the ceremonies of the
Druids there were grated, later on,
some of the characteristics of the
Roman festival in honor of the god
dess Pomona, held about November
first, in which nuts and apples figured,
representing the stores of winter pro-
visions. From this ancient GUS
tom came the habit of bobbing for
apples and roasting nuts, which was
observed for centuries on October 81,
in merry England.
A custom survived until recently in
the highlands Of Scotland and Ire
land. of building great fires on Hal
lowe'en and placing as many stones
in the dying embers as there were
persons at the bonfires. The next
morning a careful search of the ashes
was made and If there were any peb-
bles displaced, the person represent
ed by that stone, it was thought, would
die within the next twelve months.
A great many of the ceremonies
which were used later in the obser-
walton of the holiday grew out of the
belief that fairies and ghosts and
witches roamed abroad on Hallow-
cen. Fortune telling is favorite
pastime on Halloween as in the eff
fort to discover future partners in
life. Children born on Halloween are
supposed to have the faculty of con-
versing with spirits.
The main thing to remember about
Halloween is that you should be
pleasant, good fellow every day in the
year. Then when the festival comes
around the boys won't feel like steal
ing your gate or soaping your win
dOWs.

WILL REDUCE
 EXCESS BAGGAGE
Charges Under Regulation Bill Offered By Grant And
 Passed By House.

Little Rock, March With the passage of the bill by Repre- sentative Grant of Jackson Coun- ty yesterday, the house has start ed on its way to enactment a measure that will coax out huge smiles of gladness from the trav- cling salesman and the individu- al of histrionic aspirations, for the proposed measure makes both drummers sample trunks and theatrical costumes baggage in the literal sense of the word. Heretofore these articles have been classed as excess" and their owners have been required to pay over the usual excess charges for their transportation.
 Other features in the Grant bill include that of interest to the general passenger, in which the railroad is required to send a passengers baggage on the same train that conveys the passenger himself, provided the said bag gage reached the station 30 min utes before train time. The pro- posed law also gives the passen- ger the right to recover Aspecu- lative damages up to the amount of $10O, for delay or in convenience experienced in the loss or miscarriage of baggage.

TO INVITE
 OUTSIDE CAPITAL
Repeal Combs Act Taxing Corpo, rations and Pass Henderson
 Bill

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 15. The
 Legislature has completely re-
 cast the statutes regarding the
 assessment of franchise and cor
 poration taxes. Several days ago
 the Jacobson act, drawn by At torney General Norwood, repeals the Wingo act of 1907, providing fees for the entrances of corpora tions into the state.
 It is estimated that that will
 bring great deal of outside cap |ital into Arkansas. Tuesday af-
 ternoon the house passed without
 a dissenting vote the Henderson
 bill, originating in the senate, which repeals the Combs act of 1907 fixing an annual franchise tax of $2O0 on all corporations.
 The Henderson act, it is estimat-
 ed will yield an annual revenue of $2OO, 900, where th4 Combs act yielded only. $6O,o00, and it will relieve the smaller corporations of the tax burdens imposed by the old law. as The Henderson act taxes all corporations one-twentieth' of one per cent on the capital stock subscribed and issued and em- ployed in the state of Arkansas, except building and loan compa- nies that pay flat tax of $25 a year. Insurance companies with less than $500,OOO capital stock shall pay $25 a year and over half million capital, $50 year. Under the Henderson act corporations of $5O,OOO capital stock or less will pay one-half as much as under the old act, and those from $oo,- loco to one million will pay ap- proximately the same.
