Making the Money Last.

Rosa Bonheur used to say that her
youth was one of great poverty. Then
she would add some droll stories
about the family method Of regulat-
ing its finance. The studio was COL
lection of odds and ends, and NJ. Bon
heur knew how to turn that disorder
TO account. When he received money
for his work he would take n handful
Of coin and throw it at random about
the room. Then in times of stress,
when there was apparently not a far
thing left i'm the house, the entire fam
lily would set to work searching in
hooks and corners. Sometimes they
would find a five franc piece, and that
warded off starvation. To perfect her
self in her study of animals young
Rosa spent days in n slaughter house.
The men were perpleXed at seeing a
young woman there and sometimes
made it disagreeable for her, but good
NJ. Emile, a butcher Of great strength,
announced that whatsoever annoyed
her would have TO reckon with him.
Then she was enabled to work undis-
turbed.

FIouainq Petty Criminals.

Flogging. claimed by some to be a
survival of barbarism in England, Is
given credit by others as being the
most potent factor in Kidding London
Of petty criminals and assuring public
safety. Many criminals become so fa-
miliar with the prison routine as 10
lose all horror of it, In fact, life is so
wretched for certain classes Of unde-
sirables in London that they would
commit petty crimes as a means Of
gaining entrance TO a prison were il
not for the wholesome fear of fog
gings. The cato nine tails used for
the ioggings has been deprived Of its
knots and is not laid on so strenuous
ly as in the old days, while with young
offenders the birch rod is brought into
play. A physician is always on hand
to stop the fiogging should the culprit
evince signs of fainting. Although the
flogging punishment has thus been
mitigated, it does not seem TO have lost
its observation-disclosures Mechanics.

Noticn was received today in proscott of the decision of the Arkansas Railroad Commission which locates a new passenger station for this city at a point hotween Pine and Olive streets, two blocks from Elm Street and three blocks from Main Street. The commission's report in the matter follows herewith;
 To the St. Louis Iron Mountain
 & Southern Railroad Co.,
 Due and legal notice having been given that the Railroad Commission of Arkansas would on Thursday, November End, 1911, hold a special meeting in the City of Prescott for the pur. pose of taking up and consider ing the petition from the citizens asking that the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company be required to build and maintain a new depot at a point opposite the city Park in the said city.
 And the matter coming on for hearing at said special meeting the petitioners were represented by attorneys J. O. A. Bush and WF. Denman, present, and the St. Louis Iron Mountain X Southern Railway Company was present by it's Attorney General w. E. Hemingway, and J. A. McDougal, Supt, Judge w. k. Hemingway, for the Iron Mount ain Railway, stated that plans had already been prepared by his company for a new and mod ern brick union passenger sta tlOn to be built at the junction of
The Prescott daily news., 1911-11-11

Main, Elm and Walnut Streets which Is extremely objectionable and dangerous.
 7. The citizens of Prescott, and patrons of the two railroads appear to be unanimously in fay or of a union passenger station on account of the convenience to the travelling public and for the fact that it will facilitate handling joint express shipments more especially perishable fruits and vegetables which should not be delayed in transit or handled by wagon between points. 3. A union passenger station can be located at the junction only without imposing undue hardships and great burden up on the railroad it being stated at the Prescott hearing by officials of the F. 6 N. w. R. R. that this railroad was unable to obtain either a right of way through the streets of Prescott or trackage right over the Iron Mountain Railway from the junction to the proposed site op. posite the the City Park.
 1. On account of the fact that all warehouses in the the said city are now located near the said junction and switches can be operated from the south end or near Pine Street with greater facility and less danger to human life.
 5. In the opinion of the Com. mission the junction site is the best from an operating stand point and is more convenient for a majority of the people who are to be served.
 This Commission has investi- gated this matter very thorough ly and has considered every in. terest to be affected, not over. looking statements to the effect that property values would be i decreased at certain points in the city of Prescott, and in our opin. ion the location of this depot at a point two blocks from Elm St., , and three blocks from Main St., in said city could not decrease property and realty values in the slightest degree.
 It is further ordered that the plans submitted by the St. Louis Iron Mountain X Southern By. Go. for new brick union pas senger station at Prescott be and same are hereby approved, said station to be erected near the junction of the two railroads be- tween Pine and Olive Sts in Prescott, as shown on plan HI" of proposed locations--except that the platform is to be moved to the north a sufficient distance to leave Olive St. entirely open, and said St. l. I. M. X $. By is to provide suitable street cross ing at this point.
 It is further ordered that the said St. Louis Iron Mountain X Southern Railway is to begin work of constructing this depot within 30 days from this date.

 By order of the Commission.

that next year the Central Associa-

because there has been lack of study

Quincy, our Neichbor.

What will our friend and neighbor
the donor of $4,000 of good coin OF the
realm to be equally distributed among
seven c. A. clubs, do now that she
has lost in one OF the greatest bat
ties ever waged in minor league
OF the country? Will Quincy knock
humbly at the I'M. league door with
the prospects of an opening being
made for single seasons play, or
will Harry Hofer sit quietly by for a
few months and rap the Three Eye
league entrance next winter again
OF course Quincy win say, Soft pedal
on that In. dope but the sporting
ed believes that surmises are IN or
der now that Secretary j. H Farrell
has been so cruel In full sympathy
with the Illinois city which support
ed the compact little circuit for se--
eral years. it must be said that the
latest chapter in that citys history
has had a pathetic ending. Quincy
has cast enyious glances at the Three
| circuit for several years and it seems
cruel fate that She should come to
such rude awakening after the
pleasant dream. Why Keoklk fans
should favor Waterloo as against
Quincy is hard to tel, bur the cigar
store bugs were joyed Saturday morn
ing when they opened the pink sheet
and caught the story After all is
said and done it would appear that
Quincy has been a sucker and the
bait which she eagerly nibbled has
been OF the expensive variety. How
ever, Waterloo yictory could hardly
be predicted when the Iowa city made
