DEATH OF POPULAR
 LOCAL RESIDENT
W. K. BAKER SJCCUMRS TO ELL. NESS OF SOME MONTHS AT
 HIS HOME.
Body Sent to Wynne For Intermelit-.. Deceased Member of Many
 Secret Orders.

w. K. Baker, 5S years old, a well known resident of this city, died Sun day afternoon at o'clock at his home No. 1lo West Sixth avenue. Mr. Bak- CT had been in declining health for the past twelve months hut was seri- ously ill, caused by complications, on ly three days before his death
 Mr. Baker came to Pine Bluff about six years ago from Wynne, Ark, and entered the paint and wall paper business in which he was quite sue cessful. Close attention to business undermined his health and in hopes of improvement he entered the con tracing business, which obviated the close confinement. He continued as contractor for several years but 2 breakdown caused him to abandon his work and since that time he has al, most been all invalid. Though he liveG here d comparatively short time h1 made numerous friends in business and social channels. He was identi- fled with several lodges and fraterna orders, among them being the Knights Templar and other Masonic bodies, Woodmen of the World, Knights and Ladies of Honor and Knights of Maccahees. He was also a member of the First Baptist church.
 Surviving are his wife and three children, Mrs. C. P. Austin and Cecil Baker, Of this city, and Ray Baker, who is now in the west for the bene- fit of his health.
 Brief services were conducted at the home at l2 clock yesterday by Rev. (. l.. W.-Reesc in the presence of large number of friends a body of Knights Templar i'll uniform and rep resentatives of other orders of which Mir. Baker was member Many beautiful floral offerings were sent by friends.
 The body was shipped on the Cotton Belt train to Wynne, his former home, where it will be inferred today. The pallbearers were the young men who made their home at the Baker home:

Buttocmllk.

Buttcrmilk will prolong tbe hu- man life for many years. That assertion has been proved by sev- 'eral of the leading physicians of the world--Pastcur and Mitchnc- kuff, of Paris. a-
 In the blood arc little cells known as lcucocytcs. These cells arc the scavengers of the body, and in their cOncaro surfaces are able to grasp a germ or foreign body and force it's elimination from the human system. The leucocytes, figuratively speaking, are the home defenders of the body.
 Under the microscope the home defenders can be seen flowing along in the blood streams. Sud denly they will stop as though they censed some new danger. Changing their shape to that of a V, they will penerate the blood vessel wall and pick up a stray germ, probably a typhoid or one or the many other varieties.
 When person wounds the skin and the blood runs, the home de- lenders rush t0 the afflicted part and prnject themselves into the surface of the abrasion, prevent ing the entrance of outside germ life. They give up their lives to attain their object, and the hard little ridges felt on both sides of slight wound are the lcucOcyte so tightly impactcd that their life less bodies help form scar tissue.
 As years pass that commend abl" action of sacrificing them selves s" the human body may live ceases and the little friends of the body once known as home defenders turn into a lawless ele- ment, ravaging the body they once defended.
 Metchnikoff and pastcur found that buttcrmilk contained an eIe- mrnl which prevented the leucOc- Nt"S from ravagipg the body. EX- pcrIments proved they would eat the buttermilk in preference io the human tissues.

The City'S Finances.

The city of Juneau has an in- come of nearly S5O.O0O d year. The aSSrS$"d valuation of the taXabl" property amounts tn uv- rr < ,iO0, ,0On, and nn this amount the city has received this year up to date. S22. .000. The city has already received Sl6,O0O from the federal license fees. and lhrre is $l .O0O in the hands of the clerk of tn" district court to be paid over. The city dock has brought to the city in profits in the neigh b0rhOod of about $2,OOO during tn" first ten months of this year, and has received in the neigh bnrhond of $l ,000 in fines.
 The retiring administration left in the city treasury about s5.5OO, bringing the entire sum available tn meet the city's expenses up to the n"ighborhOod of Si7 .OOO for the first ten months of the year. These figures are not exact, but they afford a pretty clear idea of one side of the municipal ledger. --Junrau Dispatch.

SnobS.

A SnOb IS person who be- licvcS he is better than other peO- pie, but is afraid the world will not suspect it unless he keeps ad- vcrtising the fact.
 A.. aristOcrat knows he iS bet ter than otl:cr people and pre- sumes they have good taste enough to know it, too. This en- 'ables him to make the world happier by mingling with it with out fear of soiling his standing. An aristocrat is of no real use, as an aristocrat, than a French poodle, but is not disagreea able and is often an ornament.
 The aristocrat is the diety of the snob. A snob is a man who has either been noticed by an aristncrat or is trying to be. This cOmpclS him 10 concentrate all his attention, courtesy and con- SlderatiOn on the ariStOcrat, and leaves him none for humble folks who have supper instead of din- ner in the evening.
 We refer to Snohs as "hr" ry- rlusivcly out of consideration to womenkind.
 It Is easy io tell q Sn0b, because of your desire tn hit him on his beautifully marcrllrd nose. as soon as you talk with him. By nature, he is Sn much like rnm- mon folks that if he ever got mix cd up With them no one could find him again. so il is neces- sary for him to distinguish him self, which he usually does by a lack of good manners. Meeting a snob is like meeting a cold cod fish in a fog. Talking to him is like holding conversation with a stern and distant dress shirt bosom.
 Tn" Snob judges men by their clubs and the cut of their coat tails and lives with eyes fixed f0ndly on the top of the society column. Sometimes he has brain. but he always has it. un- der excellent subjcctinn. He all ways has manners, but never enough to go around. He would rath IF accept cigar from a CO., tilli0n leader Ihan an office of great trust from inc ushanroode public. and his two missions in life are to break into society and then tn put his back to the door and keep nIhrrs from breaking in after him.
 There IS no open season on the snob, but there is always an open door in his vicinity through which he may emerge in haste. thus leaving him tn annoy himself alone.

knowing that there has been considerable doubt in the minds of laymen at least, to the future condition of the legal profession, am herewith repeating to you, as we'll as l can from memory, a few lines on that very interest ing subject, which were compos- ed by an old friend of mine at the time of his admission to the bar in the state of Michigan some forty years ago.--J.

"IMPRovINo" THE DELE.

Do the Baptists believe III a personal devil in this day and generation? The inference is forced by the alteration of the Lords prayer in the improved" Bible issued by the American Baptist Publication Society, in which "dcliver us from the evil one" is substituted for the time honUred "dcliver us from evil"
 A comparison of the Com- mandmcnts as they appear in the King James version and in the amended Baptist version indicat- es the extent to which the revis- CTS have improved Oh the great est English translators and eliminated antiquatcd langu- agc." "Graven image" gives way 10 "carvcd image" 'thc Lord thy God" to Jehovah thy God," and in place of visiting the iniquily of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth gener- ation of them that hate me-" the revision has visiting the iniqui- ty of fathers upon sons upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation of them that hate mo-"
 The exemption of daughters is noted. Other Improvements" are visible ill the substitution of the underworld" for "hell," and in inc change of "lovcth" and 'lcad- eth" to 'loves" and Heads"
 Certainly the rcvisers have not improved the language of the Bible, whatever they may have done for it's sense. But grant ing that the corrections afford slight additional ''lucidity of eX- pression," do they not subtract from the sacred text something of much more account than lu- ridiIy--namrly, the poetic beauty of an archaic dictiun dear In all lovers of Inc Scriptures?
 Why is il assumed anyway thai tln Bible needs to be periodically brought up 10 datC,' like a die ti"nary or school book "Graven" and "lcadcth' and "lovcth" may ne obsolete in daily speech. but, as Matthew Arnold said of the trumpet spakc not to inc armed Lhrone,' they are not "b"nlcir for poetry and should not hc for the Biblical prose which often iranscends poetry.
 While not intending Io descend from the sublime to the ridicu- inuS, yet, il seems that in mOdi- lying the wording of the Bible. the rcvisers have, like the own CTS of Alaska dogs, improved the animal by dcpriving him of his iail--all done with the idea of improving on what God has given him.
