CITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

A proper extension Of the sewer. age system of Hot Springs wiil be necessary quite soon. The mains laid years ago have been added to and ad- ded to until there Is demand for new set of city mains.
 rreyious to the last Legislative ses- sion there was hope that the state would do something to- wards giving cities of the first class the right to bond themselves for per manent public improvements, but that hope faded out in selfish political wrangles that occupied the attention iof the political lawmakers.
 There is no particular reason why the people of city like Hot Springs should expect that the next Tesisia- tive session would do anything more for tho relief of cities of the Nate than have the past sessions.
 In Little Rock there are some ne cessary improvements, and the Idea of an improvement district which will be the basis of the improve ments Required, has been promuI- gated, with appar~nt success. It IS the only relief.
 If we could reasonably hope that our permanent improvements now nc cessary, could be made through the medium of bonds. within another two years, that would be sufficient and coul6 he waited for, but hope under the circumstances is unreasonable, and the people may as we'll face the fact that necessary improvements must be made within our own mu- nicipality.

HARTMAN TO GET LICENSE.
Not Too Close to the Wilkins School
Attorney General Rules.

Prosecuting Attorney Van Zile for
warded to Secretary Schreiter, of the
council committees, Monday, an opin-
ion of the attorney general which per-
mits Joseph Hartman TO open saloon
at No. 204 Michigan-ave. Objection
was made on the ground that the pro-
posed saloon was within 400 feet In
direct line from the Wilkins school,
which Is on Porter-st., between Sec
ond and Third-sts., thus violating the
provisions Of the Warner Cramton law.
There was contest as to whether the
measurement should be taken in a
straight line, or on the line of the
street.
The attorney generals opinion lays
down the rule that the measurement
must be taken along the center of the
street, starting from a point In front
Of the door of the saloon and running
TO point in the center OF the street
opposite the school or church door.
This makes the saloon $40 feet from
the school in one direction, and $40
feet in the other. Chairman Ellis said
in view of the opinion, the license
would probably be granted.

This Is Jimmie Fl Months old;
THE Baby Thar Never Smiles ,

MINNEAPOLIS. May 15.-Jimmie
looks out upon the world through
eyes which express an eternity Of sor.
row. At Sheltering Arms, where he
is lovingly cared for. together with
other bits OF human flotsam and jet
sam, he is known as the baby that
never smiles"
Study his portrait and you will see
written In melancholy characters the
tragedy of little life from which
all the sunshine has departed. And
that life is spanned by only 81
months. Smile if you Will at the idea
that such a mere baby can feel and
grieve over a heartless world, but
those who care for Jimmie believe it
is true.
Jimmie has a mother, but his home
is an institution" No papa comes
at night to kiss mamma and toss baby
into the air. That all ended when
Jimmie was only eight months old.
Papa disappeared; mamma had TO go
to work and Jimmie had to go to
Sheltering Arms.
For three months he wept his little
heart out in one unbroken agony OF
grief. Then he dried his tears, but
the world had changed. All the
brightness and sunshine had gone out
of IL through the cruel selfishness OF a
father who wasn't man enough TO re-
main at home and care for his family.

at least once a week. She cuddles

before the common council. Tues
day night with certified check of
$1,000, it is possible that the bid
of j. S. Affeld on paving Ave
stretches of street will be held up
and the streets will be re-advertised
Affeld was the lowest bidder, and
the streets committee last week rec
commended that his bids be accepted,
the total amount being about $50 900
Aid. OstrowsM asked that the bids
be held up for one week, but the
committee could not see ii that way
The council put the matter over, how
ever. Monday, Aid. Gilman said
that a party whose name could not
be given at present would put up n
check for 900 as a guarantee that
a lower bid would be secured IL the
work were re-adyertised The matter
was held up pending the appearance
of the check at the council meeting
Tuesday night. Aid. Merritt objected
to the procedure as unfair TO Affeld,
saying that the would-be bidder had
bad faith with the city in
not submitting his lower bid earlier.
II was stated, however, that this had
been done in the past.

child's natural world. In nature ev-
