necessary to entertain a meeting Of this
kind. The hall was decorated with large
flags, chains and exhibits furnished by
Districts % and IS. The exhibition
by District % was splendidly prepared
and arranged and showed much careful
training, patience, and skill on the part
of their teacher, Miss Bolen. Owing to
the short notice the work was not SO ex-
extensive, but the exhibits from all grades
showed great ability and knowledge.
Miss Bolen deserves much credit for her
skill in the response % made.
The work from District 10 covered the
entire east side of the hall, commencing
with the sth grade near the front and
continuing in the order of the grades.
Each pupils work was put up. separately
and showed careful preparation. This
district is to be congratulated on having
such an able and up-to-date teacher as
Mrs. Basey.
Special mention should be made Of the
beautiful water-color paintings, showing
unusual talent; also Of the First Grade
Reader made by Little Norris McKeeth.
The colors, tan and purple, of District

hibits on the east side.
The exhibits of both schools were ex-
amined and much praise given the pupils
and teachers.
A splendid program was listened to and
remarks made Dy the trustees of both
districts; also by Mesdames Read, Hyde

oreana teacher, was present and made
some fitting remarks.
County Superintendent Avery was pres.
ent and made the meeting complete by a
speech in her usual enthusiastic manner.
Much benefit was derived t-om this
gathering, for it brought friends, neigh
bors, pupils, trustees and all interested
into closer relation. The benefits derived
from the exhibits can not be overestimat-
ed, as it shows the possibilities of the pu-
pills and awakens desire in them to do
better work.

BOY RUNAWAY
 IS NOW SOUGHT
LEFT HOME BECAUSE HE FEARED WHIPPING AFTER FIRST cET-
 TING ONE AT SCHOOL
Last Seen Out On the Little RoeI Road Where He Stayed All Night and Talked of Re.
 turning Home.

Wilbur Bunting, the II year old son of Mrs. William Bunting of 5G3 Park avenue, is missing, and has not been seen since last Tuesday at noon. when he left home apparently to go to the Ramble street school.
 II was stated last night that the only reason for his running away was probably because he had received a whipping at school, and had been told that if he got a whipping at school he would get another at home.
 The boy is II years of age, wore 2 blue shirt, black Anee pants, was bare- footed, wore gray hat, when he left home. He is heavy for his age, weighing 95 pounds, light complex ion, his right eye is defective, al of which makes him easy to identify If his whereabouts are observed by any who know the circumstances.
 The boy has been heard from but once since his absence and that was about five miles out on the Little Rock road last Tuesday night. where he passed the night at the home Of MT Hughes. It is reported that he said the next morning before leay- ing that he was going to return to his home, but that was probably to throw off suspicion as to his run ming further away.

RRAosTREET's REVIEW

New York, October Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Though a relatively iberal volume of road sales came out this week, the probabilities are that trade as a whole has reeeded a little from last week. This tendency is per haps due to the fact that buyers hav- ing covered their urgent requirements have again become cautious about future commitments.
 in other words they seem to pre- fer to let demand catch up with their stocks before again entering the markets.
 However, the developments of the week show that staple articles con tinue in comparatively good demand allowances being made for the fact that losses have occurred in some sections, while gains have been made in others. As it is, satisfactory or ders are noted for most lines jn dry goods, shoes, clthing, hardware. gro- ceries and kindred lines, though pur- chases of cotton goods are being made along conservative lines, pri- marily because of the recessions in raw cotton prices. Leather is firm CT while hides are higher and eastern shoe manufacturers report encourag ing orders from western buyers. Western trade in the latter has been he ped by wet weather.
 Strike of railway shopmen and clerks in the west and south cloud ahe industrial situation and hamper traffic in the sections affected and re- suit in some repair work being turn ed over to car building plants. In the iron and steel line prospects ap. pear to be more encouraging espe- eially for railway buying of rais and demand for finish goods holds up well, while there is more doing in pig iron, but at the expense of prices nevertheless. Collections re- main about fair.
 Business failures for the week ending October in the United States were POI against PAS last week. 192 | in the like week of 1910; 202 in 1909: 256 in 1908 and 192 in 1907.

 Yesterday there were large ship ments of swine, cattle, and horses and while they were comfortably quartered yet there are hundreds more en route.
 The racing feature of the state fair will furnish the big surprise of the fall festival. Already there are enough entrants in the various events to crowd the track with contestants in every number and the report of Presiding Judge Kennedy from Okla homa and Memphis tracks has not been received. When that comes it will probably contain the names oi more than Hundred other high class standard and thoroughbred per- formers.
 The horse show is also receiving much attention, and the various numbers loaded with splendid com. petitors for the various prizes.

up little objects a mile or more away
upon tree or wall, and never failed
the test. 1 suppose that it's some
native quality of the eye which has
always enabled me to meet like tests.
have been told by oculists that,
while they have been unable to de-
tect by any of their instruments any
difference between my eyes and those
of the average man, yet there must be
some difference difference located,
perhaps, in the nerve.
"One of the most amusing expe-
riences of the many that l have had
when friends were trying to test my
eyesight and catch me in a trap oc-
Cured when | was returning ons
morning to New York city from a
short visit to the country home on
Long Island of one of my most init
mate friends.
1.-THE great clock in the MetropoIi-
tan tower had been set going only a
few weeks earlier. My friend brought
me in his automobile to the city, and
as we were travelling between ia
maica and Long Island City l said to
him:
why don't you set your automo-
bile clock right? 1t is twenty minutes
slow
How do you know that?' he re-
piled. You haven't looked at your
watch
mo, but | see the clock on the
Metropolitan tower and the hands are
now pointing to ten minutes to nine,
while your clock reads half-past
eight
"'You can't see the clock on that
tower my friend replied Why, we
are nearly six miles away, and l can
only just make out the top of the
tower itself
81 do see the clock and the hands,
I said They point to ten minutes to
nine. Now you may test me- We
will see how long it takes to run in
from this point to the Blackwell's
Island bridge, wlsere it Is easy for
any one who is not near-sighted to
read the Metropolitan tower clock.
Then you will see whether am right
or not
When We were upon the Black
wells Island bridge my friend told me
that he could see the hands upon the
clock. They pointed to ten minutes
past nine. The hands upon his auto
mobile clock pointed to ten minutes
to nine. My friend locked at me in
establishment
Your eyes must be like tele-
scope he exclaimed And l told him
that others had made that remark"

it is possible to fly. If l can do that
the honor then attached to my name
will be worth to me a great deal more

About eight years ago Charles Pc
terson died. He lived long enough to
learn that the fuel-gasolene-
he expected some one to discover had,
in fact, been discovered But he was
old, somewhat infirm, and unable to
take advantage of this discovery. And
yet as he heard of the initial achieve
ments of the Wright brothers and of
the others in the field of aviation, he
felt sense of self-congratulation for
he believed with all his soul that
could he have had gasolene 80 years
ago, he would have been the first to
teach the world how flying could be
achieved.

Our little town O. BlueberryEille is
right up to date an about as progress
sive an public-speerited as any town
in the state" said Zedekiah Brush, as
he drove over the hills with the sum-
mer boarder
Fact is, some of US think the Sc
lec'men use the tax money a little too
freely keepin pace with the speerit
of progress that seems to be ii the
air nowadays Here, in the last year,
the town hall has had a new roof, an
a new boss shed has been built around
the church, an a new handle put in
the town pump, an a bridge costin'
most $500 has been built over Plum
Crick. The town clock has been put
in repair at a cost of $3.50, an
they've put three dozen new books in
the town liberty, an now they are
talllin' of offerin' a firm a bonus o
5000 to start a pickle factory in the
town. Once a lot O. selec'men git
the progressive fever, an the tax

but us taxpayers has to foot the bills

1T is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think Of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection OF
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is. almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. Fl L, Bos-
ton, will secure liberal sample OF
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

Thomas Huxley Would Not Attack
Any Mans Belief, but Simply
Asserted That He Himself
"Did Not Know"

Whoever was fortunate enough tc
hear the lectures delivered by the late
Thomas Henry Huxley, one of the
ablest men of science that the nine
teenth century produced, which Pro
lessor Huxley delivered in the United
States in centennial year, never fail
ed to speak afterward Of those ex-
traordinary discourses with amaze
ment and enthusiasm. While upon his
visit to this country Professor Huxley
delivered the dedicatory address at
the opening of Johns Hopkins uni
versity. Of that address the late Dan
lei C. Gilman, who was president of
Johns Hopkins from its founding until
his death in 1908, used sometimes to
say that, taken all in all. it was the
ablest address he had ever heard de-
livered by man of science, and he be-
lieved that it would ever remain a
classic.
Huxley's lectures in the United
States had for their topic evolution,
and as a result of the lectures, bris,
liant as they were and profound as
was his treatment of the subject, Hulk
ley gained a wide reputation through
out America as an agnostic. When he
was asked by one who had been a
student under him in England just be-
fore he returned to England if it were
true that he was an atheist and if he
did not feel some conjunction that
be should have so lectured in the
United States as to SOW the seeds OF
disbelief. he replied:

word which would tend to break down

Captain Leslie Coonbs Bruce, Famous
Marksman, Read Time on Metro
poIitan Tower Clock When
Nearly Six Miles Away.

Capt Leslie Coombs Bruce, who
died recently after a brief illness
which was presumably caused by his
exposure to the sun while playing
golf on one of the hot wave days Of
early July, gained a worldwide repu-
tation ten years ago as the captain of
the American rifle team which won
the international trophy at the
match held at Bisley, Ireland. He also
enjoyed a high reputation as rife
shot, having at one time held the
championship Of the American Rifle
association And he was noted among
his friends and acquaintances for pos
sessing pair of eyes that were eagle
like in their ability to distinguish
clearly at great distance objects that
were literally invisible to the ordinary
eye.

had ever had any training in the mat

tances and points in such manner as
to take accurate measurement of

Grewsome are the stories told of the
punishments inflicted on dishonest div

fleet working in savage seas, with the
men engaged mostly savages, no civ

quickly on the heels of crime or the
suspicion of crime. Neither judge, jury
nor form of trial is needed. Who is to
know if diver or two has disap-
peared?
The method of the industry makes
easy one form of punishment. The div

possible care, cases of divers paraly-
