Ship Begins
Settling.

How this word crept In from outside
no one seems now to know. Immedi-
ately the crew began TO man the boats.
Then came the shudder of the riven
hulk of the once magnificent steamship
as 1T slid back from the shelving ice
upon which it had driven, and its bow
settled deeply into the water.
We're lost. We're lost" was the
cry that rose from hundreds of throats.
The ship is sinking. We must drown
like rats"
Women in evening gowns. with jew
els about their necks knelt on deck,
amid the vast, fear-stricken throng,
crowded about the lifeboats and prayed
for help. Others, clad in their night
clothing, begged the officers to let
them enter the boats.

NAPOLEON III. IN AMERICA
Real ,Louis Was Not as DiIapidated as
He Has Been Pictured by
Mark Twain.


Probably no written portrait OF the
third Napoleon is better known to
Americans than that embodied in the
rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain
in THE Innocents Abroad, ~ where he
contrasts the emperor Of the trencH
and e. ruitan Of Turkey at their
meeting I'm Paris in 1867. 1t was
thought very fine and stirring at the
time but fl is picture to provo*e
curiosity and amusement today. Mark
T"lia described how the future en-
Fer5r carried his dreams with him
into exile, how ho associated with the
common herd in America, and ran foot
races for a wager, how he walked his
weary beat. a common policeman Of
London. That he carried his dreams
into exile that his belief in his star
never Wayered, is unquest1onably true

How to Attract the Birds.

1.-THE matter of attracting birds to
your yard is all very simple, particu-
larly If you happen to have an old
grape-arbor, a bit of shrubbery or a
tree or two. OF course, they won't
come without encouragement. 1t may
be, even. that you will have to give up
your old cat, but you will soon find
the sacrifice amply repaid. For to the
heart OF little bird, cat is the very
embodiment of prawling destruction.
Then you must have a feeding-board.
on which to spread such dainties as
bits of boiled potato, sodden bread Gin
summer, cracked corn, rice, crushed
nuts of various kinds trimmings from
meat. and suet. For birds soon grow
to love the hands that feed them. -

ENGLISH Taxi Rates.

There are one hundred taxicabs in
the city of Sheffield, England. The
tariff rate is one shilling (24.3 cents)
for the first mile, and after that Sd.
(six cents) for each quarter of mile.
This rate is for one to four persons,
and includes such baggage as is car
ried inside. For outside luggage a
fixed charge of Sd. piece is added to
the cost Of the journey. The meter
mechanism is also affected by a clock,
so that when a taxicab is allowed to
stand with the flag down it registers
at the rate of one mile Cor one shilling
cost in every Is minutes. A taxicab
may be contracted for by distance, as
when one wishes to make trip of 40
miles or more a special price is made
of 10d. GO cents) a mile, and a stop
of several hours allowed without

Made First LIGHTNING Rod.

Nearly everybody believes that Ben
jamin Franklin was the inventor and
constructor of the first lightning rod.
In this particular they are mistaken.
as the first lightning catcher was in
vented by a poor monk of Bohemia,
who put up the first lightning rod on
the palace of the curator Of Preditz.
Moravia, June IS, 1854. The apparatus
was composed of a pole surmounted
by an iron rod, supporting II curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filled with iron ore.
The entire system of wires was uni
ted to the earth by large chain. The
enemies Of the inventor, jealous Of his
success, excited the peasants of the To-
cality against him and under the pre-
text that his lightning rod was the
cause of the excessive dry weather
had the rod taken down and the in
ventor Imprisoned.

COUNTERFEITING CHARGED.


Little Rock, Nov. 29.-Robert Fos-
ter, aged 26 years, was placed in the
Pulaski county jail Wednesday night
ris, on charge of making and pass
by U. S. Deputy Marshal John T. Bur-
ing counterfeit money. He has been
bound over to the federal grand jury
by Commissioner Burnett at Pine
Bluff, his bond being placed at $1,000,
and at the present time there appears
to be little likelihood of his giving
bail If not, he will have to remain in
Jail until next April, when the grand
jury meets again.
Foster does not discuss the case
much, except to declare his inno-
cence. He is son of Judge r. F.
Foster, one of the most prominent cit
liens of Cleveland county, now resi-
dent of Florida, where he went for his
health, and member of the state cap
itol commission. Several men have
testified that they have received bogus
coins from Foster.

Value of Travel.

Goethe says that no man has a
right to write until he has travelled
and lived Certainly no one has a
right to think he knows what life
offers or what earth can give until he
travels.
Travel does more toward letting US
go free of our human limitations than
anything else in life. 1t frees us by
giving us large views, a wide sense
of opportunity, fuller comprehension
of the lavish hand which has strewn
beauty over the earth.
Above all, travel numbs grief be-
cause it lifts US from the personal in
to the universal life, the life trium-
plant, whatever be the fate of the
fragment called ones self-Harper's

Good takers are rarely good writ
ers. and vice versa. Good takers are
those who fill up the conversational
gaps. 4 conversational gap is the ab-
sence of talk Caps come when
thought lags. Takers must be ready
to jump right in and fill up the gaps
without thinking.
Good writer's must make gaps;
great, huge thinking gaps, which must
be used for concentrated meditation,
after which comes the written result
of that meditation. Good takers must
stop talking when they commence to
write. This is always hard for them.
Good writer's are too careful what
they say to consent to fill sudden talk

This may make it clear to many a
woman why her literary ambitions are

CHAMPIONSHIP
IS DISPUTED

Little Rock, Nov. 30.-The eXecu-
tive board which has control of ath-
letics of the schools of the state, has
rather complicated proposition in
the awarding of the secondary cham
pionships, which was contested for in
football by the high schools of the
state. Fort Smith, Van Buren,, Tex
arkana and Pine Bluff claim the title,
all having passed through the season
without a defeat at the hands of an
Arkansas team. Fort Smith and Van
Buren, played a tie. Fort Smith is
now demanding a play-off with Pine
Bluff, but the board will probably or
der Pine Bluff and TeXarkana to con-
test for the honor, and Fort Smith
and Van Buren, to meet again, and
then the winner of the two games
probably meet in Little Rock to settle
the dispute.

From SaturdaX's Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The large storage barn and tool
house on Col. j. E. Titles river bot
tom farm was totally destroyed by
fire at an early hour last night. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, with ST.
200 insurance. The barn contained
about 1900 bushels of corn and all
the farming implements used on the
plantation. Some of the corn was
saved, but SO damaged by fire and
water that it is almost worthless. A
few of the farming tools were also
saved. The origin of the fire is un-
known.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE
TO BE ORGANIZED HERE

| From Mondays Daily.
Now that the football season is
over the coaches of the various jnsti-
tons of Conway have turned their at
tention toward basketball. All the
schools have an abundance of mate
rial and fast teams are expected to
represent each school. The armory
will be converted into an indoor court
and the games will be played there. A
large grandstand will be built on eth
err side with capacity of about 400
people.
Heretofore games could be played
only when the weather permitted, ow-
ing to the fact that there was no in
door court, but with the armory
court, games can be played both in
the daytime and at night, in any kind
of weather.
Coach w. o. Wilson of Hendrix
had a squad of 80 candidates out ev-
cry afternoon last week, and he said
that he will have one of the best
teams the college has ever turned out.
Only one of last years regulars is
back this year, but several high school
stars of last year are out trying for
positions on the team.
Under the direction of Coach Stew
enson, the Normal squad will begin
practice this afternoon. He stated to
a representative of the Log Cabin
Democrat that prospects for good
team is very encouraging.
The High School win have boys
basketball team this year for the first
time in the history of the school.
Coach Scott has a world of material
from which to select team, and he
believes he viii have one of the best
High School teams in the state.
Capt. o. d. Longstreth will have
charge of the militia team. He has
had great deal of experience as a
basketball coach and will doubtless
turn out first-class team.

The elephant looks stupid enough,
but his intelligence is developed to a
marked degree. Dr. Romanes tells
several interesting stories of these an
imals. A man was one day feeding
a tame elephant with potatoes which
the elephant took from his hand. A
small round potato fell on the ground
just out of reach.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to get it the animal blew SO strong a
blast Of breath against it that it was
dashed against wall. from which it
rebounded so far that be easily reach

often blow just beyond small objects
out of reach SO that the reelected cur
rent Of air will drive them toward
him.
DR.. ROmanes repeats the story Of
an elephant that was chained to a tree
near little oven In which his driver
had just baked some rice cakes. When
the driver went away leaving his
cakes to cool, the elephant unfastened
the chain from his leg, uncovered the
oven, opened it, ate the cakes, and
covered the oven with earth and
stones as he had found it. He then
returned to his place, and wound the
chain about his leg as it was before,
although he could not fasten it. The

| plant with his back toward the oven
