KNEW HIM AND LOVED HIM
Or. Courtenay, Mutilated Veteran Of
the Confederate Army, as He Was
In Tippah.

DR.. Courtenay entered the Confeder-
ate army as a surgeon, and after the
surrender found himself without home,
family, or fortune. His right coat
sleeve dangled empty; the hand that
had saved so many lives could not
save itself. 1t had been amputated
after Gettysburg, and the story goes
that Lee hims elf-the name is always
pronounced slowly and reverently in
Tippah-had said, Il wish | could give
my hand to save yours, doctor" An
other loss, equally grave, but less
conspicuous, was that of his left lung.
1t was this trouble that had brought
him to Tippah's mild climate, for near
ly 20 years he had lived there alone in
his three-room cottage, riding out ev-
cry day to his little farm, five miles
from town, and reading and smoking
far into the night. His library was
the wonder of Tippah. Books in five
languages lined the walls of his house
all in the cheapest bindings, for the
say, it was the meat in the nut he
cared for, not the shell outside. He
never practiced medicine, except oc-
casionally among persons too poor to
pay for medical advice, or, more fire.
quently, in serious cases when called

he had never taken a fee in Tippah.
Every one believed implicitly In his

have saved him; Dr. Courtenay said
so."-Lilian Kirk Hammond in the

This remedy, as all readers doubt

MORR|LTON RfAPS
A RICH HARVEST
MONEY IN STRAWBERRIES
CITY A BUSY HIVE OF INDUS
TRY NOW, RECEIVING ABOUT
$4,000 A DAY.

Right at the present season, when
business of all kinds is almost at a
standstill in nearly every Arkansas
town, Morrilton is one of the busiest
places on the map, and Strawberries
are responsible for it, according to w.
D. Cole, Jr., secretary of the recently
organized Faulkner County Truck
Growers Association, who visited
that place yesterday. Mr.. Cole says
the farmers in the vicinity of Morrill,
ton are wildly enthusiastic over the
berry business, one of them going so
far as to cut down a 50-acre orchard
Of fine five-year-old liberia peach
trees in order to set out strawberries
this year. And yet the cold figures
show that business sanity of the
shrewdest type characterizes such ac-
ton as this. From about LOO acres
in berries this year Morrilton is re-
ceiving an average of $4,000 per day,
paid in cash to the growers as the
berries are delivered The average
production is considerably above 500
per acre, running in numerous in
stances over 5000, and this despite the
fact that the season has been one of
the most unfavorable that could well
be imagined.
While Mr.. Cole was in Morrilton
yesterday five cars of berries were
shipped. Yesterdays price was 1925
per crate, the average value of car
being $1,315. The berries are being
shipped to Colorado, Nebraska, Wis
cousin, Iowa. Minnesota and Canada.
"People around Morrilton are quit
ting everything and going into straw
berries" said Mr.. Cole. "They are
making more money per acre, even
with a short berry crop, than five
crops of cotton on the same land
would bring them. An army of prob
ably 1000 pickers are kept at work.
Two cents a quart is paid and even
the society women are picking straw
berries. Experts make as high as
81 day and school children easily
make 81 day. The cashier of one of
the banks told me his deposits were
increasing from $4,000 to $1,000 a
day, the money coming from nothing
else except berries. With LOO acres
already bearing, several hundred
acres were planted this spring, and
the acreage will probably be doubled
next year"
Business men of Morrilton extend
ed through Mr.. Cole an invitation to
Faulkner county farmers and bust
ness men to come to Morrilton Mon
day and spend day watching the
workings Of the industry He has Sc
cured promises from quite number
already to make the trip and thinks
a large crowd will visit Conway's
neighbor city on that day, provided
weather conditions are favorable.

large scale means to town cannot be

OF EARTH MOVEMENT
Sir George Darwin, Noted English Sci
enlist, Delivers Interesting
Address on Tides.

Sir George Darwin, the noted scien-
fist. who was the guest OF the Authors
club in London recently, delivered an
interesting address on his theory OF
the tides. Everybody knows that the
tides are due to the moons attraction.
In the tidal motion the movement OF
the water causes friction and a conse-
quent slowing down of the motion OF
rotation of the earth, as brake would
do. The effect, though almost intin-
itesimal, becomes appreciate In time,
although 1t has not yet been meas
ured. But 1t must exist, and this SLOW
ing down being due principally to the
action on 1t, with the result that the
moon will move further and further
away from the earth, owing to the
yielding of the system. The opinion OF
many authorities Is that the moon
was shot off from the earth at the por-
ton now filled by the Pacific ocean.
AS 1t Is still moving further away and
the rate of rotation of the earth dim
inishing the time will come when the
length of the day and that OF the lu-
mar month will be the same, and the
earth and moon Will again revolve as
a rigid body When that occurs the
day will be IS times as long as our
present day. But the sun also pro-
duces tides and similar effects, though
on a smaller scale. So the year, too,
will be heightened.

CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY
Passing Of the Milk Train, Not Charge
Of Bull, Caused Young Farm
er's Haste.

In rural New England the passing
Of railway train Is still a matter
of public interest quite astonishing to
visitors from the city. Last summer
three ladies' from Boston hired an
abandoned farmhouse in northern
New England, in a region devoted to
dairying. One warm August day they
walked through the rocky pastures
to a farmhouse three miles distant,
in quest of two weeks supply Of
butter.
On learning that they had come
through the fields, the farmers wife
exclaimed: why, you can't DO back
that way alone! Our bulls out there
in the back lot. and only day fore
yist'day he freed my son-in-law on a
stun for two hours. I'll have him go
home with you"
With some misgivings on the part
of the women. the little procession
started back under the guidance Of
the young man. the ladies carrying
had gone about quarter Of mile,
when the escort suddenly called, eX-
citedly: Come on" and started on
a run toward higher ground.
Thinking that they understood the
occasion of his activity, they needed
no urging to follow him. On and on
they sped, throwing away their but
ter as an impeachment to their speed.
Finally, bathed in Precipitation and
gasping for breath, they sank ex-
hausted on rocky ledge whittier
their guide had led them.
Standing just above. he waved his
arm in a dramatic gesture toward the
valley below, where freight train
could be seen crawling slowly out
from between a cleft in the hills, and
shouted: There she goes-the milk
train!"-Youth Companion.
