|. And R. PETITION
Is FILED TOO LATE

Little Rock, May "a petition
was received Wednesday by the secre-
tary of state signed by a large num-
Der of citizens Of Chicot county, 'to
submit to the people for approval or
rejection" act 1893, approved June /,
1909. This is the fish and game act.
The secretary holds that this is really
a referendum rather than an initia-
tive petition, and cannot therefore be
certified out, as such petitions must
be filed within 80 days after the ad-
iournment of the legislature

Six Chinese Among Rescued.

New York.-Among those rescued
from the sinking Titanic were six Chi,
nese, who slowed themselves away III
one of the vessels lifeboats before
she left England. When the crash
came on Sunday night the Chinese
did not become excited. They knew
the lifeboat would be lowered if there
was any danger of the giant Titanic
going down. All had shawls, and when
they heard the shouts of those on
board that women were to be saved
first they covered themselves with
their shawls, leading the crew to be-
lieve they were women. In the dark
ness they escaped detection. 1t was
not known they were Chinese until
thew were taken on board the Car.
pathia.
When it was discovered that the six
Chinese had taken the places of wom'
en- in the boats some of the Carpa.
thia's crew wanted to toss them into
the sea, but the officers of the Cunard
vessel put them in irons instead
How the Chinese escaped being dis.
covered by the crew OF the Titanic
or some of her passengers puzzled
those on board the Carpathia-
The federal officials took charge OF
the Chinese and they were sent to tins
Tombs while the necessary arrange
ments preparatory to sending them
back to their native country are being
made.

THANKSGIVING PSALM
A RhythmicaI and Grateful Chant.

A teacher in a Terre Haute public
school joins in the chorus:
Teaching is business which re-
quires a great deal of brain and nerve
force. Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended the teacher is ex-
hausted before the close Of the year.
Many resort to stimulating tonics for
relief.
"For years l struggled against al.
most complete exhaustion, getting
what relief could from doctors ton.

II happened at this time to read an
article giving the experience OF an

Grape-Nuts food. I decided to try
Grape-Nuts and cream. as an expert

and continues so after a year and
a half of constant use.
First, l noticed that I was not
hungry after meals.
"In few days that tired feeling left
me, and felt fresh and bright, In

Confidence In Boat Fatal.
h Once on the deck, many hesitated to
enter the swinging liftboats. The alb
sence in the first few moments OF
intense excitement gave them the feel
ing that there was only u slight mis-
hap-that those who got into the boats
would have chilly hak hour below
and might later be laughed at.
The admiration felt by the passen-
gers and crew for the matchlessly ap-
pointed vessel was trained in those
few moments into a confidence which
for some proved deadly.

POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
One Good Thing, at Least, That Hs
May Place to tho Credit OF
the Auto.

The farmer may not venerate tho
automobile, but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza, 1t has taught him
very valuable lesson In economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice, or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly. (N
But of late years farmers have no.
tced that, while all the plants III field
or garden were covered with aphis, all
the roadside growths, white with dust
from flying automobiles, had not
single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips. peas
and cabbages were coated with ordi-
nary dust instead Of costly powder.
Result, disappearance of all insect par
asites.
The automobile, in word, has
taught the farmer that dust. which
costs nothing.

Officer Murdock Ends Life.

New York-It was First Officer
Murdock of the Titanic and not Cap
tain Smith who stood upon the bridge
as the ice-streWn waters Tapped ever
higher over the ships sides and gath
cred in their hundreds of struggling
souls-and sent leaden bullet crash
ing through his brain.
Quartermaster Moody, commanded
to man one of the lifeboats, while he
stood beside Murdoch on the tall
bridging superstructure, saw Muir
docks figure outlined against the
starry wall of the horizon as he whip
ped cleaning bit of metal from his
pocket, deliberately placed it to his
temple and pulled the trigger
Murdoch never for moment lett
his post on the superstructure, never
abandoned his futile task of directing
the mechanism of sinking hulk, and
when he saw at last that he was mere
ly guiding the monster of the deep
down to the bottom of the sea while
hundreds were perishing before his
eyes or had perished below, he re-
ceived the inspiration that made him
the master of his own determination.
Murdock's last orders were to Quar-,

captain Died Death of Hero.


New York.-Consensus of testimony
gathered Saturday from passengers
and crew of the Titanic shows that
Captain Smith, the gallant commander
of the vessel, did not commit suicide.
but sank to a sailors grave.
Survivors say the captain did every
thing possible to save the lives OF
those committed to his care and that
his last act was to leap from the deck
to place young girl on a raft. He
then swan back, after refusing to en-
danger the lives of others by overbur-
dening the frail craft to which they
were clinging.
Mrs. Elizabeth Nye, who belongs to
the Salvation Army and is a friend
of Miss Eva Booth, said that she had
this account from one of those who
was on the raft. The girl whom the
captain saved died half an hour later
and all except tWo-a young man and
a young woman-who were on the raf'
died from exposure.
Other passengers say the captain
was swimming hot far from where the
Titanic went down. He wore Oil skins
which weighed him down, and he
seemed so exhausted that he could
barely keep afloat.
Arthur McMiken, steward who was
saved, says he was in boat which
floated near the captain. 1t was seen
that to take the captain into the boat
would endanger the lives of all on
board. Several men, however, reach
ed out for him and as they did SO he
disappeared from view.
