WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Gained Him a Friend in Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator of many delightful child characters, earned a million dollars during his lifetime with his pen. but often walked the streets of London in search of material for his books without a penny in his pocket.
 One evening while doing this he was accosted by s>s,small boy who asked him for a penL.S Dickens searched his pockets, but Ssey were empty, and so he told the boy, who was shivering in the cold.
 Poor mani" exclaimed the little fellow, well go hunks together!"
 Dickens stood back in the shadow of the street to see what the outcome would be. The lad continued to beg, and finally gained two pennies. He came dancing to Dickens with jolly ring in his voice.
 Now" he said, well have two hot buns apiece!"
 Such generous spirit under such trying circumstances struck Dickens so forcibly that he took the lad home with him, and there he was fed and clothed, and started on the road to a better life.

GOVERNOR FAV0RS LAW.
"Grandfather Clause" to Constitution
 Meets Chief Executives Approval.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Gov. George w. Dona- ghey gave out statemnet endorsing the proposed constitutional amend ment, including what is known as the grandfather clause"
 The governor declared that from ev, cry point of view it is better to elimini- nate the negro from politics. He said that the negroes, as a whole, are pre- vented from voting now and that it would be better to do this legally than by intimidation. Until this is done he declared, honest elections cannot be secured in Arkansas. The govern or said that there are 100000 negroes of voting age in ArHansas, and that this number is sufficient to carry any election if they should be allowed to vote. The governor said that there are a few negroes who should be permit ted to vote, but that as race it would unquestionabiy be bad policy to per init their voting by wholesale. The governor urged that the amend ment be passed and that the abso- 1uteTy fair elections between white men be held.

PROTECT WOMEN TRAVELLERS.
Y. w. C. A. Will Take Care of lnex- perienced Women Who Stop in City.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Enlarging their field of service, the Young Women's Chris tian Association of Little Rock has made definite arrangements to take over the work of the Women's Protec- tive Association, and reorganize the plans for taking care of women who travel alone through the stations os this city.
 The Women's Protective Associa- tion was formed for the purpose of supporting a matron at the Union sta tion whose duties should be to look after youn9women travelling alone and give them such assistance in changes between trains as was deemed neces- sary. The protective feature was con sidered necessary because of the ex- perience which had been reported of young girls who had been ill-advised by strangers.
 The plan as agreed upon by the committee from the Y. w. c. A is to provide a matron at each of the big stations, the Rock Island and the Iron Mountain, who shall have police power and work through the city de- partment.
 It was found in the past two years that this power is necessary if the regulations of the city ordinances are to be enforced in regard to the pro- lection of the young women.

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved. But Further Work Is Needed to Stamp Out
 Tuberculosis.

Only four states Mississippi Ne vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no beds whatever in special hospitals or wards for eensumptives. Eight years ago when the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu' losis was organized, there were 26 states in which no hospital or sanato. rum provision for eonsumptiYes exist ed, and the entire number of beds in the United States was only 10000.
 While these figures would indicate a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu- losis, activity" says Dr. Livingston Farrand. executive secretary of the National association. in commenting on the subject, there are still prac- tically ten indigent consumptives for every one of the 30,000 beds, including those for pay patients. In other words, we have from 250000 to 100000 con- sumptives in this country too poor to provide hospital care for themselves. If tuberculosis is ever going to be stamped out in the United States, more hospital provision for these foci of infection must b. provided

I can do all my own house. work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week.

GOVERNOR GRANTS PARDONS.
Youth of Young Offender Gets Him
 Clemency.

Wc-tern Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock-GoV. Donaghey granted pardon to F. P. Ludtke of Bebas- tain county, wno was convicted last month on charge of forgery and ut- tering forged instruments S, and sen fenced to four years in the penitenti- ary. The governor took this action largely because of the fact that the prisoner is only 16 years old and was represented to him as being not en- tirely responsible for his actions. The amount involved was less than $10, and the governor regarded the punish ment as entirely out of proportion to the gravAy of the crime committed.
 Pardons were also granted to George Walker, who was convicted in the Washington county circuit court on a charge of grand larceny and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary, and to Roy Harmon, who was convicted in Crawford county on a charge of grand larceny and sentenced to one year in the reform school.

CITYS HEALTH REPORT.
Health Officer Files Report Showing
 Conditions for Month.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Lietle Rock.-Health Officer o. K. Judd filed his report for June with City Clerk Oliver. The report show ed only three cases om typhoid fever during the month, one of which prov ed fatal. He reported one case of diptheria and one of chickenpox. As city physician he made $40 visits to patients and wrote 1,016 prescriptions.
 That the physicians of the city are paying more attention than usual to filing vital statistics with the city clerk was shown by the fact that 70 births and 39 deaths were reported. The city clerk said that many physi- cians are careless about this phase of their work and that statistics for tn" reason necessarily are not complete, It is expected, with the reorganiza- tion last week of the health depart ment, an effort will be made to make the record of vital statistics of some value.

Where He Drew the Line.

An English earl, lately deceased, who had no family, was notorious for his hatred of children, and on one occasion he engaged as lodge keeper an army pensioner named McMicken. Some few months later McMicken's wife presented him with son and heir. On learning of the occurrence his lordship rode down to the lodge in a terrible rage.
 q hear" said he to MT. McMicken, "that your wife has a son."
 "Yes, my lord," said the man proud ly.
 Well, now, look here, McMicken; when put you here, it was to open and shut gate, but by the Lord liar ry, not to propagate"

Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at society dinner was given seat next to a noted scientist whose views were very ma terialistic, and at some remark he made on the origin of mankind, the lady found her temper tried beyond all bearing, so that she retorted: "I really don't care what you say. 1 be- lieve in the Bible, and there We are told that Adam was the father of all living"
 q really think you are mistaken" :" he said with smile, and so the sub. ject dropped.
 A few days later the lady, writing to bosom friend, told her of the oc' currence and added: q am too morti. fled, for I have looked the matter up and it only says that Eve vas the mother of all living, and so don't know whether to write to the profes. sor or not"

GOOD ROADS AND EDUCATION
Educators Have Plan to Work Roads
 for Benefit of Schools.

Western Ncwspaper Union News @ervice
 Little Rock-Prof. J. l.. Bond, su- pervisor of rural schools, returned from Faulkner county, where he made weeks trip in the interest of rural school work, and especially the consoli- dation of rural school districts. In company with County Examiner J. M. C. Vaughter. Professor Bond held a series of educational meetings. It was brought out forcibly that one of the objects of the meeting was to stimu- late a greater interest in good roads.
 q find people very much interested in the school district good roads plan that Prof. Vaugnter is presenting to the people in the school districts of his county" said Professor Bond. "The plan proposed by Prof. Vaughter is that at a meeting of the people of the school district a committee of two citizens of the district shall be ap- pointed, and it shall be duty of the committee to solicit and receive sub scriptions of money or labor to build better roads in the school district. All money or labor subscribed shall be used under the direction of this com mittee. Prof. Vaughter urges upon the people the fact that in building good roads to the school houses of the county they also are building good roads to three-fourths of the churches of the county and also that these roads lead into the main highways which lead to the markets. The people in the districts visited were much interested in the plan proposed by Professor Vaughter
 The advantages of consolidation of rural schools were also presented. There are in that county now 12 rural schools which employ two teachers, and six which employe three teachers. A number of these larger schools are the result of consolidation. The length of the school term for the rural schools is being increased and the school build ings are much better in every way than they were a few years ago. There is agoodly number of normal and college graduates among the teachers of the county, and the school spirit is good. When fully understood by the people, consolidation of small, weak districts is being favorably received.

Fiattery.

Two men, highly intoxicated, were walking home from their club, arm in arm, one night, when both tumbled simultaneously over some small ob- struction on the sidewalk. One rolled to the right and landed In gutter, while the other fell to the left and slid into a little trench that some workmen had been digging and left unprotected. For some moments after the fall dead silence reigned, and then the one on the left cried:
 'T say, old chap, cant you give me a bit of a lift?"
 And the man on the right called back: "Oh, you fatterer!"

 The right kind of food promotes re freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day.
 A lady changed from her old way of eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
 For about three years had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine the doctor would ask me to drop of potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feel ing would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank.
 When I started on Grape-Nuts, vom. iting stopped, and the bloated feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely.
 My mother was very much bothered with diarrhoea before commencing the GrapelNuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts food she is well, and says she don't think she could do without 1t.
 Tt is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when could not realize what they meant by bad stomach There is no medi- cine so beneficial to nerves and brain as good nights sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."

When Sunday school was we'll under way, he took one out and pinned it on his coat, feeling it an ornament. Un- fortunately, when the minister came round to speak to the dear children, his near sighted eyes were caught by the color.
