TT USBAND. sed Ma the other mite,
you remember you & me was
speaking about littel Bobbie
having sumthing to do during the sum
mer months. vile he is having his vaca-
shun. so that he wuddent let his mind
git dun or let hisself git lazy,
l remember, sed Pa. You wanted
me to git him job down on the paper
as a office boy. & l put the crusher
on the idee. sed Pa. Well what is on
yure mind now?
l have thought of a other skeem. sed
Ma You know that Mister Upton that
jest calm here from San Francisco. he
is going to start skool for jur-
nalists.
Wat? sed Pa, another skool for jur-
naIists. 1t seems to me. sed Pa, that
there is moar skools for jurnalists than
thare is journalists themselves In The
good old days, sed Pa wen | was lern-
ing to be newspaper man. l never
went to a skool l jest went into a
newspaper Office & took the good with

But this Mister Upton is a vary
smart man. sed Ma. he must be. His
wife sed he was one of the smartest
men on the coast.
Well, sed Pa. if his wife sed so it
must be moar than true. Usually the
things a wife says about her husband
are moastly knocks, if she gives him
a boost it must be true But l still
stick to the thing ! sed first Speek-
ing as a old & experienced newspaper
man, / do not beeleeve that any boy,
however brite, can lorn to be a news
paper man in skool for journalism.
Jest then Mister Upton calm In. Ma

He has thin, nervus hands. sed Mis-
ter Upton. Thin, nervus hands are al
ways to be found on riters. that is, on

what Mister Upton sed about nervus,
thin hands. I doant see WHARF thin.
nervus hands is a sign of genius, sed
Pa. Monkeys have thin, neryus hands.
Let me tell you sumthing, sed Pa.
l have been a newspaper man for many
yeers. & thay say I am a fairly good
one. If I was ever to teech a lot of
boys to be newspaper men. this is the
course of study l wud lay out for
them
1. How to pleese the editors

mummy from the editors.
8. How to explain yure absence to
the editors
T. How to git a editor to talk you

That is all, sed Pa. but I doant want
littel Bobbies to be a newspaper man

TINE American dances like the Tur-
key Trot and the Grizzly Bear
which ! have been introducing
in Europe are taking like wild fire over
here
In the first place. they are new they
are American, and they are so differ
ent from the old time waltz. You can
make them different or "Oh! so differ
ent," with the accent on thee exclama
ton according to the way you dance
them.
OF course. on the stage one has to be
sensational. No one would pay the
slightest attention If one merely
waited around, especially in ordinary
clothes When am doing simple
little step or dance ! am much more
particular about having startling and
original costumes than when am
dancing a sensational novelty. which is
sure to take without the aid of startling
gowns

Oriental Dress.

with these American dances | think
have struck on a very happy combi-
nation. A dress which is staid, to say
the least, and just the kind Of thing
that one would wear in the street, with
a panel Of satin in front and a ''V'
shaped bodice. But if you look more
closely you will realize that it is not
quite as demure as it looks for under
the panels of the front breadth the skirt
is arranged into a trouser effect which
enables me to kick and dance without
being hindered by my skirt. I think
this is rather original, just like the
dances Most artists who have chung to
the modern evening dress have their
skirts slit at the side, but that has been

An Imitation.
1 Now, in dancing the Grizzly Bear l
give an imitation, but l hope it is an
elegant version of the dancing bear
with arms up and knees bent as he
hops about My partner faces me in
this and often we cross our arms as in
the picture and hop backward or for
ward &or to the side, as we have ar
ranged. according to the music Of the
dance
Beginners think this is very easy,
but no two people can dance these
| steps without a good deal of practice,
unless they are holding on to each
other The hold is done by grasping
each others shoulders or | grasp my
partners shoulders while he takes me
around the waist with knees bent as in
the picture We hop and sway with
the music This is the real Grizzly
Bear step and | don't see anything OBJ
iectionable to it. though Of course one
can make it so if one wishes to-
After beginning the dance in this
way we let go of each other and hop
one in front Of the other for four
steps, as shown in the illustration,
each dancer going in the opposite di
rection, only for two steps each then
stopping and making the other two
steps back again, so that you land in
the original position with the man
back of the girl The pose for the end

of the girl over the extended arm of
the man behind her
They now take hands. her right
hand being in his right and she being
close to him in the ordinary dancing
position. He takes a quick step back.
she pirouettes or whirls away from
him at arms length He pulls her
back again and they alternate back
ward and forward for eight more
measures; the final pose ends with her
close to him looking into his eyes. in
what Is called the Fascination pose"
of the waltz
Suddenly each OF the partners begins
to sway in opposite directions; the girl
sWays the farthest, and he catches her
around the waist as If she We're about
to lose her balance. Turning her
around so that she faces the audience
with her back to him, they once more
begin to sway. she bending very low
and he catching her. At the end of the
eighth measure they ire both bent to
the floor where they assume the posi-

CONGRESSMAN
 BRUNDIDGE
FOR UNITED STATES SENATE MAKES A STIRRING
 SPEECH AT COURT HOUSE.
Paid Splendid Tribute 10 Thi5 City as National Health Resort, and
 Criticised Record of Jeff Davis.

Congressman Brundidge, who is a | candidate against United States Sena- tor Jeff Davis for the democratic nom- ination to the senate, spoke in this | city yesterday afternoon to fair | sized audience at the court house. Congressman Brundidge is a forceful speaker and his criticism of his op ponent, at many times, was strong and stirring.
 MT. Brundidge paid a splendid trl- bute to Hot Springs as the most i'm portant of the government reserva- tions, and as a great national health resort which should receive much more attention from the national con gross than it 1had received in the past He pledged himself, if elected to the senate, to do what he could to help place Hot Springs in the front rank of the points of interest in this coun- 1 try
 ''If Hot Springs was located in one of the northern states" said MT. Brundidge, the government would naturally have been importuned and would have appropriated millions of dollars to the improvement of the city and particularly to the improve ment of that part of the city which is a permanent reservation of the United States"
 In this line he spoke of the fact that direct representation in the congress of citizen of Hot Springs would do much toward making the city what it should be. Naturally, the bringing of this subject up called the atten- tion of the voters to the candidacy of Hon. w. H. Martin, for congress, who, if elected, would be the first di- rect representative this city or county has ever had in the national con gross.
 Mir Brundidge received very warm reception on his arrival in the city, and was given a most cordial greet | ing at the speaking. The weather was threatening, else there might have been more enthusiasm manifest ed in his visit politically at this time. He has quite large following in this county, whose best wishes will follow him in the campaign he is waging throughout the state for the demo cratic nomination for the senatorship

EDUCATIONAL RALLY.
Large Crowd Present When School
 Subjects Are Discussed.

The educational rally and picnic given Friday at Lawrence, under the auspices of County Superintendent of Education David A. Crockett, was an occasion of much pleasure and profit to tine $50 persons attending.
 The morning hours were given over to contests between five schools in spelling and arithmetic, followed by a basket picnic, which added merri- ment and good fellowship and proved a genial forerunner of the intellectu- all feast which followed.
 The speakers of the afternocn were Deputy State Superintendent J. L. Bond of Little Rock, Hon. Thomas Milan and Mrs. Anna Gill of Hot Springs.
 Mir Bond made an eloquent address in behalf of Generalization of Rural Schools" Mir Bond is progressive, earnest worker and State Superintend- ent George B. Cook made happy se- lection when lie put him in charge of the rural school work, which is a very important branch of the depart ment of education of Arkansas.
 MT Milans excellent speech on School Improvement" was well re- ceived. There is a popular move ment now on foot to improve and beautify school buildings and grounds and MT. Milan's talk was one to arouse public spirit and cooperation
 Mrs. Anna Gill, state organizer of the Girls Tomato clubs, spoke in be. half of this work which is an effort to help girls to be self-sustaining at home and to aid in the cultivation of much idle land which should be util- ized for agricultural purposes. Mrs Gill advocates the healthful outdoor work and the busaess training it gives. Mrs. Gill is doing an excel. lent work for the state
 The athletic contests were omitted as the literary program and the other contests consumed the day.
 The contesting schools were Law renee. Shady Grove, Morning Star and Sulphur schools from the coun. ty. and Garland school from this city, The pupils and patrons, ladea with picnic baskets. came in wagons and other vehicles from miles around The day was one of great festivity and interest.

morning before he should be taken to
the penitentiary was cut short after
word was received here to the effect
,, that Mr.. Croft was causing disturb.
ance on the streets of Moulton. Sher-
| if Dowis and Bailiff James Highbar-
/ ger left yesterday for Fl. Madison with
Croft and the Hendons, all OF whom
| were to be placed in the states prison.
Some one telephoned to Sheriff Dowis
that Mr. Croft was raising disturb
ance and the sheriff called City Mar
shall Upton and instructed him to take
Croft into custody if there was any
trouble. Deputy Sheriff Brown was
sent to Moulton to get Croft and bring
him back, and they arrived at mid
night.
Mr.. Croft protested that he was not
causing trouble, and asked to be al
lowed to haul some hay on his farm
but the sheriff understood the courts
an opportunity to arrange business
Mr.. Dowis to use his best judgment
for the leave Of absence having been
given, though it was held the bond
would be good. There seems to be a
difference of opinion as to whether or
not Croft was violating his leave, but
the sheriff felt that he was RESPONSE
bic for the prisoner and did not care
to take chances.
It is reported that friends of Croft
will Immediately start petition for
his parole. Talk of this may have had
something to do with the rumpus
raised at Moulton, as there is consid-
cradle feeling against him there.

~ DER PECULIAR LAW. w &


Because he refused to tell the name
Of the man who sold him the liquor on
which he became intoxicated, Lon
Rodgers was given thirty days in the
county jail by Police Judge y. c..
Hendershott this morning. The law
whereby Judge Hendershott secured
authority to place this heavy sentence
upon Rodgers. is a peculiar one and
was used for the first time by the po-
lice judge this morning. In short this
section provides that unless man ar
rested for intoxication will make an
affidavit before the court, telling where
or of HON, at what cost, ETC., he secur-
ed his intoxicating liquors, he may be-
given thirty days In Jail. Should he
make the affidavit he would be freed
of the charge Of being drunk but would
be compelled to testify against the
man, whom he declared sold him the.
booze. Judge Hendershott states that
he intends to exercise the authority
given him under this section in an e.
fort to land bootleggers.

OTTUMWA-IOWA CITY
INTERURBAN AGAIN

Ollie, March u. j. Terrell recent
ly received letter from Mr.. Tanner,
president of the Iowa City Interurban,
stating that their representative had
sailed from England and that their
surveyors would be through Ollie in a
few days and would call on him. This
looks like the interurban had not en-
tirely died out with the promoters and
that Ollie still have chance Of get
ting it through. 1t does not look rea.
sonable that these promoters would
send an expensive crew of engineers
through the country if there was no
chance of the interurban coming. A
through line from Iowa City to o.
tumwa, through Ollie, would be great
boom for Ollie and the community as
it would open up vast amount Of the
country northeast of here that is now
some distance from the railroad.
