SCHEME TO. STOP REPEATING
Mission Head Stamped on tho Beg
gars' Wrists "I Ate an
Hour Ago.

For the first time in ten years the
shabby man wore gloves, which he
had wheedled out of an opulent aims
giver.
"Had to have 'em,o he said, "to
hide my wrists. Just see here"
The gloves were peeled off and the
inscription, q ate an hour ago." was
shown on the back of each wrist.
"Been there two weeks" said the
man, "and nothing but the mercy of
heaven has kept me from starving to
death. Clapped on yith a rubber
stamp that notice was, at little
missionary place where the down
and outs can drop in every evening
for cup of coffee.
"The superintendent wanted to
discourage repeating. He did it by
means of a rubber stanp. | was one
of the first guys he tried it on. The
ink used that night was the kind
that sticks in the wash, and every
one 5 US poor devils who got bite
then have been advertising the fact
ever since. The sign queers US at
other free lunch places, for nobody
will believe it is two weeks old. May
be it will wear off some time. Until
it does it's gloves for mine"

The attendance at the Assem-
bly, this year was so large that
the hotels were unable to accom-
odate all, and many had to be
turned away for want of room.
Most of the cottages are named,
and some of them are very sug-
gestiye; for instance, Mr.. Wren
calls his home "Wren's Nest, :"
DR.. Lyon calls his home Lions
Den,a DR.. Savage calls his Wig
wam,o while other homes are
called aBide.a while, y "Rest-a-
bit, a Comfort, "TangleWood, .
"Tip-top, " and scores of others.
Three old Washington people
are here at this time, Mrs. Lizzie
Simms Holdemen, Mrs. Maggie
Mclaughlin Thrueall and TIL e
writer. Quite a good many are
here from other parts of Ark,
while all the southern states and
many of the northern are repre-
sented.
The costof a season here varies,
but most of the rates are high.
Board and room cannot be Sc
cured for less than $50 month,
but many people rent rooms and
do light housekeeping, better
known as Tight bread eating,'
thus making expenses lighter.
On Sept. | great many leave,
but hundreds Of people stay till
October, and a few even later.
A small village a half mile from
the grounds furnishes all the
groceries needed, while noun
taineers come to the grounds ev-
cry day with all sorts of country
produce, which is about the same
price as at home
The personelle of the place is
the very best. and one never sees
any of the illiterate monntaineers
except as servants. College men,
literary people, wealthy and aris-
tocratic Southerners make cup the
population, while hundreds of
ninistepsand their families spend
their vacations here.
Only one thing mars my hap
pinesshere and that isthe thought
that my fr1ends ana Tamily can't
be here too.
