 With Speaker Milwee presiding, the house proceeded to consider the passage of the bill. Then again the opposition showed its strength and cunning and delayed a final vote for several hours; but with Representa- tive Kerwin, aided by Representatives Glover, Bradham, Floyd and others, leading the fight for the adopt on of the senate bill the enemy's rout fin- ally became complete and Governor
 Donaghey was again sustained by the conservative members of the leg islature. Representative Kerwin merited general commendation for his skillful handling of a most vex- ing condition.

 AT FIRST BAPTIST

Sunday is to be Spring Rally Day. at the First Baut.st church. The of this fact means a day of enthusiasm from the Sunday School hour at nine thirty in the morning throughout the services of the whole day.
 The eleven o'clock service is the hour of special interest for the day and we hope to have present at ii o'clock every res' dent member of the church with all his household. We especially expect and urge all moth- CTS to bring their babies. We want the little fellows in this service. Don't be afraid that they may cry, that will not be counted a disturbance.
 The pastors subject for this morn- ing service will be, Jesus In the Home" We will close the day with an evangelistic service at night All friends who want to see our First Baptist church people at their best are invited to start in with us at the Sunday school and go through the services of this day with us. Let ev- cry Baraca and Philathea determine to make this day record breaker for these two great classes.

SAYS KERWIN'S WAS
 MASTERY SKILL
Ft. Smith Southwest American Talks of Recent Comp by JeffersOn's
 Representatives in House.

The Southwest American of Fort Smith has the following interesting story dealing with the fight for $75,- 900 State Capitol heating appropria- tion bill, in which Judge E J. Ker- win of this city, figured prominent ly:
 "It required the exercise of the keenest parliamentary action in the house to concur in the senate bill providing for the appropr ation of $75,000 to defray the cost of install ing a heating plant and completing other work preparatory to the oc- cupancy of the new state capitol.
 "The measure was originally intro duced in the senate by President Toney, who was compelled to force the fighting and overcome prejudices before the upper branch of the as- sembly finally passed the bill. It was used as a target for some poli- ticians in the. senate, although there were members who seriously opposed some of its features; but there were also elements that availed themselves of the honest opposition to harass the state admin 'stration.
 "When the measure reached the house the same tactics were pursued there, and with much more malevo- fence. The bill was hung up and the opposition marsh alled to insure it's defeat. Gov. Donaghey was appeal ed to in order to induce him to make "a compromise to secure it's passage. but the executive remained passive and advised his friends that he would not interfere with the details of leg islation. He had recommended the appropriation, and if the legislators
 ponscientAously defeated his plans it was up to them to do so.
 Finally Representative E J. Ker- win of Pine Bluff became convinced that the time for radical action had come and he at once proceeded to confer with conservative men, in- cludmg Speaker Milwee, and all agreed that Gov. Donaghey had been unjustly and most undeservedly made the butt of those who felt that they had a grievance against the state administration.
 "The bill was at once taken up fol final consideration in committee O1

Wrote Novels to Cain Rest

had discovered that by writing down
what his fancy dictated In the quiet
of his library after hard days work
he found that he soothed his own
nerves, quieted his brain, and, after
an hour or two thus spent. was in
a perfectly normal condition and able
to obtain sound sleep. Quite acct
dentally he had made the discovery,
In an idle moment picking up his
pen and writing down what his fancy
dictated.
Il was sure that what DR.. Mitchell
had found good treatment for nerve
WEAKNESS l should find equally ad-
vantageous, and I determined to try
the experiment. One night, after
day of great labor, I went to my
library, put two or three cigars upon
my library table and as I smoked
them let my fancy have full sway.
Almost instantly I found that the
operation of the mind which the play
of fancy makes possible served as q
real brain rest. Moreover, it was q
physical rest. So I speedily con-
tracted the habit of writing fiction
after my regular days work was
over. Sometimes I write until an
hour or two after midnight. Then
delicious languor, perfectly normal,
comes to me, and go to bed as GER
tain Of sound sleep as is lad who
has played out Of doors all day. In
just this way have written my two
novels, and I hope to write others
in the same way" Which he did.

TASTY WAY TO SERVE FRUIT
"Macedoine," a Mixture Of All Kinds,
Is Something That All Will
Appreciate.

Macedonia may be made with any
combination of fruit, fresh or canned,
dried or preserved. At this season
of the year mixture of fresh pines
with oranges, prunes and any left
over fruit juices can be utilized. The
little evaporated German cherries
make rich fruity Juice. Wash, soak
over night and stew gently until all
goodness is extracted. Strain and
sweeten. Add pineapple, peeled and
shredded; some nice prunes soaked
over night, the pits removed and the
meat cut in small pieces, two or three
oranges peeled and cut in bits, and
any surplus left over from canned
or preserved fruits. Stew gently,
sweeten to taste, and serve with but
tered waters or brown bread sand
wiches. This will keep some time. II
it shows signs Of fermenting, boil up
again.
If desired gelatine may be added to
this. allowing level tablespoonful
granulated gelatine to each cup of the
macedonia. Soften the gelatine in
cold water, then dissolve over steam
or add to the hot macedonia The
bits Of fruit may be left in or strained
out as preferred. Pour into small
molds or on earthen dish. spreading
the mixture about an inch in thick
ness. When firm cut in cubes.

SYSTEM WORKS WELL:
GROWING VALUE OF HoUSEKEEP-
ERe' PENCIL AND PAD.
Hours Of Searching Saved When All
Things Are Enumerated az They
Are Put AWay-Family's
Whereabouts Accounted For.

1t was when making a visit that l
learned how pencils may simplify
housekeeping. My friend took me
hrst to her storeroom. at the top of
the house. where were many trunks,
boxes and packages. Each one bore
paper or card on which was written
list Of it's contents. "You see, I
never have to apend any time looking.
tor anything" she said, because
whenever an article is. put away the
fact is noted on the box or package.
When anything is taken out it is
crossed off from the list. A pencil and
tablet on the door make this the work
OF an instant. and thus I save myself
hours Of searching"
We went to the rooms of the vari-
Gus members of the household, and on
each closet door hung a pencil and
tablet. $50 far as possible have the.
possessions of each member stored in
his Closet said my friend, but when
this is not possible note the fact on
the back Of the tablet, telling where
each article may be found. One year
l was taken sick in the autumn just
when winter clothes were needed, and,
thanks to this method, the family were
able to find their heavy coats, gloves,
caps, etc., without ever once coming
to me-"
Hall closets were treated in the
same way. In the kitchen there was
tablet and pencil, on which to write
a list of articles needed, another on
which were written the menus for the
three meals of the day, while a drawer
OF alphabetically arranged cards con-
tanned recipes. Before I thought Of
this SYSTEM" said my friend, II was
often annoyed by not seeing on the
table dishes which I thought had or
dered, and sometimes my cook and l
had differences of opinion as to which
of us had forgotten. Now there is
never any trouble. And now I must
show you one thing more"
This proved to be tablet in the hall
on which the various members of the
family wrote when they went out.
Here I read: LAT dentists; home

lunch" ITS such help to the maid,"
was her comment, and knew without
her telling me, how much running up
and down stairs it saved.
It is needless to say that adopted
her system at once, and l cannot say
how many times in the years that
have passed l have thanked my friend
for showing me the value of a house

Countjnu Our Hours.

ITO count no hours but unclouded
Ones" and forget all others. is ono
way, We are told, of scaling the
heights of happiness. To those who
know but little of the darker sides Of
life and who are as yet inclined to
value their blessings more as rights
than as privileges. the advice seems
der is that it 10 not more generally
needed. There are many persons,
however, to whom an upclouded hour
marks some great event in life, and
to whom those hours come SO seldom
that to count them in the final results
ing. The hours that pass so slowly
for some, weighted as they are with
cares and responsibilities and sdr-
row, rush by with amazing speed for
others. The hours Of all the days OF
all the years bring their own mes
sages to each one Of us. At no time
have they ever brought the same mes
sage to all. They may duplicate their
tidings to many persons, whether
those tdings be of Joy or sorrow. but
never at any one time do the hours
mean the same thing for all Of Gods
people. Either there is Joy for thou
sands and sorrow for millions, or sor-
row for thousands and Joy for mil
lions, while to countless others tho
same periods of time are of no spe-
cial import.

An Arabic Pompeii.

The discovery Of what may be
called an Arabic Ponpeii in the neigh.
borhood of Cordova has recently been
reported. This was once a pleasure
resort of the great Khalif Abderrah-
man ILL.,, who erected it between 936
and 9G1, has been jealousy concealed
by the Spanish Psychologists, and
came to light accidentally through the
examination of certain fragments of
Arabic sculpture of the tenth century
recently deposited in the museum of
Cordoya. The remains may be as
signed to the Egyptian or Copto-
Arabic school, and among them the
most remarkable are the specimens of
glass-work with silver sheen, the
secret Of which has long been lost,
and the painted and glazed pottery
made out of calcined clay. So far,
the excavations appear to have been
most inefaciently conducted, and much
valuable material has been destroyed.

ment will now arrange for the scien-
tific examination Of q site which 10

Realized His New Dignity.

John Barrett, director Of the bureau
of American republics, once spent a
year in Washington trying to break
Into the consular service. He had no
other employment during that time
and toward the end Of his tedious wait
he got pretty short Of money and was
obliged to eat at the cheapest restau-
rants in town.
One afternoon he was preparing to
break a few crackers into five cents
worth of milk at one Of those walton
yourself restaurants, when a friend
came in.
Congratulations" said the friend.
What on?" asked Barrett.
"Why, haven't you heard? You've
been appointed consul to Siam!"
Without saying word. Barrett
pushed aside his crackers and milk.
arose and began to adjust his necktie
md cos+ collar.
'<Well, you're not going to let the
appointment take your appetite, are
you?" asked the friend.
"Certainly not" replied Barrett, but
1t would hardly be proper for the con-
sui to Siam to eat in a place like
tbis. I'm going over to the Willard"

RAIN.

The soft thud and patter of rain
upon the roof are as musical to the
Imaginative listener as is any sym
phony. Monotonous dipping on thick
leaved trees soothes ones WEAKNESS,
and makes the opportunities of life
seem easily resisted. One can be
lulled to fair visions during transient
spring shower, and gain the sense of
sharing the destiny of nature. But,
sometimes, the storm brings moods far
from serene when it sweeps along
with a kind of fury. Heavy clouds
make noon as dark as night, the air is
thick and ominous. rain pours in
sheets of gray that gusts Of wind
shake into fine mist Trees bow to
the ground under the rush Of the

continually, while often a sharp fash

"Mr. Douglas answered that there
had not been a moment when he had
been afraid of Lincoln as a debater.
All through he had been confident
Of his ability to hold his own in the
give and take of debate and in the
presentation of arguments. He hest
tated for a moment, thinking appa-
rently, and then continued:
al, of course, have perceived that
Mr.. Lincoln is very strong with the
crowd, but have felt that I have
held my own with the crowd as well
as he has. There is one thing, how
ever, of which I stand constantly in
dread. When Lincoln begins to tell
a story I begin to get apprehensive.
Every one of his stories seems like
a whack upon my back-that Is ex-
actly the effect that the allegories and
anecdotes, of which he is master, have
upon me. Nothing else-not any Of
his arguments or any of his replies
to my questions diSoarbs me. But
when he begins to tell story, I feel
that I am to be overmatched.'

Jerusalem's Public Ovens

There are public bakeries in Jeru-
salem. The dough is kneaded at
home and carried in great Jumps to
the public ovens. These are to be
found in almost every street. They
are cavelike vaults, running down be-
low the street level. At the back of
each vault is the oven, with a sort
of we'll before its open door. In the
we'll stands the baker, with a long
paddle In his hand, upon which he
puts in and takes out the loaves.
The oven floor is marked out in
blocks. so that the baking of each
family is put on a separate block.
The loaves, which are about an inch
thick, are of the size Of . tea plate
and have a hole in the center. The
baker makes them from the dough,
bakes them, and returns them hot
from the oven to the customer. He
receives two cents for each half
dozen loaves, or he may instead take
a toll Of one loaf for each dozen. Be-
fore starting the baking he greases

Car to Make Iona Trip.

The threat that he would never visit
Denmark as long as King Christian
lived, made years ago by the car Of
Russia, is recalled by the news that
he hac made plans for an extensive
European journey which will include
the country which King Christians
death made free to him. The trip
will be the longest he has ever taken
in Europe and will carry him through
Finland, Scandinavia, including the
cities of Copenhagen, Christiania and
Stockholm. and thence to Berlin to
visit the German emperor and to Italy.
The date for the cars departure on
the tour has not been fixed, but it
will probably be this month.
