Mysterious Cave DweIIers.

The sentiment that accompanies the
common desire for the preservation Of
historical relics of the American In
dians, who are fast passing away or
being merged into the civilization Of a
new century, is now being manifested
In reference to the preservation Of the
hone OF the cliff-dwelling Indians,
whose history is as mysterious and un-
recorded as that of the lost tribes of
Israel. Various theories have been
propounded regarding the cliff dwell
ers. Legends have it that they are the
descendants of Montezuma The popu-
lar theory is that the Indians began by
living In caves. the homes that nature
had provided, and then, with the
natural ingenuity of man, proceeded to
excayate caves high up in the side Of
the cliffs, where they might be safe
guarded from attacks and where their
supremacy would go unchallenged.
Americans know very little Of the his
tory Of the cliff jewellers or OF the
place where they formerly lived. If
the Indians know, they do not tell

Mourning colors.

when people who write for fashion
publication" says a Vienna letta3,
have nothing more to say about
Queer-shaped hats, grotesque skirts
and other equally important matters,
they tell us that black is going out and
white is to be the mourning color-if
white may be so termed. This fashion
news item may be looked for several
times year, but black, sombre black,
still maintains its place. The band on
the sleeve has done much to save
money for those who still wish to wear
a. badge Of mourning, but the sleeve
band will never be white The create
display Of mourning is made with sta
tionery, the size of the cards and the
depth OF the black borders indicating
what? There will be real mourning
among the stationers when one may
announce the death Of a beloved one
or tell of his good Qualities on paper
which is pure white"

Protect the Snake.

Accentuating the idea in an editorial
in The Sunday Star that birds should
be protected as they are the farmers
friends, and their destruction would be
followed by the destruction of the hui
man race, comes the suggestion
that snakes should also be protect
ed. This from the Record-Herald is
instructive:
Legislation to protect snakes that
are harmless to man and destructive
to rats, mice and other creatures OBJ.
noxious to farmers is being sought
in several states, according to Prof
H. d. Bailey Of Muhlenberg college, a
Pennsylvania institution. In a recent
lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced the
king snakes, TIE milk snakes, the
butte, the corn, fox and indigo snakes
all valuable allies Of the farmer" and
commended efforts to increase the
number of bull snakes, which, though
large. are harmless and abound in
some western states.
AS mans knowledge Of nature in,
creases, he finds many creatures useful
or harmless to his interests, and he
should act accordingly. Many snakes
are benefactors Of man, according to
authorities, and once the instructive
dread Of them disappears through
knowledge and familiarity there is
nothing Objectionable in their pres
ence.-kansas City Star.

NOT ALWAYS SOLEMN
some CHEERFUL MOMENTS IN
LIFE OF UNDERTAKEN.
Profession Not as Grewsome as an
Outsider Might Naturally Imagine
Why Customer Counter
manded Order for Casket.

Ours is a solemn business" said
an undertaken, "and yet there hap
pens in 1t something over which all
concerned can reasonably be cheer
full
The grewsome old time coffin has
now been all but supplanted in use by
the modern burial casket, which in de-
like in appearance as 1t is possible
to make it, and which Is also made In
very great variety as 10 the materials
used and styles of finish and cost
1T is not uncommon now for per-
sons in health to indicate the sort of
Gasket in which they desire to be
buried when their time shall come.
and sometimes such a person may Sc
lect and buy casket TO be held for
him. 1t Is out of these modern changes
in our mortuary customs that We get
the occasional cheerful note of which
| spoke.
Some years ago there came to us
to order casket members of a family
whose head was then, as supposed
MORALLY Ill; that he must die appear
ed beyond g. doubt; and it was desir-
able to make preparations for this
event in advance because the casket
required was of unusual size, and it
was also desired that it should be elab-
crate in construction and finish. We
had the casket ready in time, but
when the casket was ready the man
began to improve in condition and he
continued to improve; and in the
course of time he recovered his health
and strength completely.
Then there was the family with
that casket on hand of which he had
no knowledge whatever, and they
came to US to dispose OF it, which OF
course we readily agreed to do. It was
costly casket. though that was no
impediment to it's sale, for we make
and sell many beautiful and costly
baskets; but its unusual size. was
against it, and it was some time be-
fore We finally disposed OF it, which
we did at considerably below its first
cost. But this was a loss which the
original purchasers were very glad to
sustain.
I'VE once had a customer who had
,ost his wife and who came to us to
bury ner, which we did After the
funeral he came back to u.s. He had
elected the casket in which his wife
was buried and now he bought one
just Ike it for himself. He was
man in health, with no prospect of
seath, so far as that was concerned,
but ne was greatly grieved and cast
down OYER the death of his wife, and
when he should die he wanted to be
buried in casket just like that in
which we had buried her So he
bought this casket and we held it for
him
Something more than year after
he met another woman with whom he
fell in love ard whom he married; and
after that we got a letter from him,
saying: q
Sell my casket. I've no use for
it now"

Paper Clothinu.

The latest idea is clothing made O.
paper. A representative Of large
English firm of paper manufacturers
states that they are at the present
moment experimenting in the hope CT
producing kind OF paper really sui
able for the making of clothes which
can be sewn and hold buttons. "Pa-
per towels are an excellent idea-these
are made in Germany" he said. Pa
per hats have been a fashion for
some time. Instead of wearing wash
able cotton sun bonnets and caps
children can have each day a new p2
per hat costing from two cents TO
twelve cents. which takes one item Off
the washing bill. Paper shirts are
being produced at u cents apiece,
while the cost Of paper handker-
chief is two cents-the price of the
washing of a linen one. In the house
hold, too, the washing bill can be
largely reduced by using paper in
stead Of linen, for now there ere paper
blinds-lace edged-paper serviettes,
paper toilette mats, paper doilies, pa
per table covers, while paper toweling
could be adapted to kitchen use foi
tea cloths, busters and similar arti-
cles.

BABY SHOW AT
FAIR OCTOBER II
MANY PRIZES OFFERED
INTERESTING FEAT URE OF
COUNTY FAIR TO OCCUR ON
FINAL DAY.

The final day of the Faulkner coun-
ty fair, Friday, October IL, will be
featured by one of the most interest
ing events of the entire four days
the annual baby show This show
which will be under the direction OF
Mrs. B. l.. Harton, assisted by num-
Der of other Conway ladies, will be
held at p. M, in front of the grand
stand Twelve handsome prizes have
already been purchased and are now
on display in the show windows of the
two local jewellers.
The babies will be divided into four
classes, rs follows: One to six
months; six to II months; II to Is
months; 18 to "a months First and
second prizes will be awarded to the
best and next best baby in each class
and a grand prize will be presented to
the best baby in any class entered in
the show. In addition to this first
and second prizes will be awarded to
the best and next best pair of twins in
the show.
The judges have not yet been select
ed, but the management has decided
this year, instead of allowing men to
pass on the merits of the babies, to
secure mature women who are moth
ers of large families and who, of
course, are diSinterested in the result
of the contest.
Last year over 100 babies were en-
tered and it is hoped that still lalg-
er number will be present this year.

YOUNG MEN IN THE SADDLE
Comparative Youths Are Just Now
Guiding the Destinies Of the

| Der of the house of lords tribunal-the
final court of appeal-younger than
any of the appeal judges and he has
only two juniors on the chancery
bench and three on the kings bench
! Winston Churchill is, of course, the
youngest member of the British gov

tailed by Lord Haldane's transfer have

At their combined ages of eighty-one
Gladstone was at the height of his
fame and the duke of Wellington was

There are many links between the
careers of Colonel Seely and Mr.
Churchill Both were at Harrow and
both saw fighting in South Africa.

WHEN LIFE NEA2S ITS CLOSE
Physical Changes That Paralyze, in
Varying Degree, the Mind and
Limbs of the Aged.

One Of the chief tragedies of oncom-
ing age is the increasing difficulty in
moving about and in grasping new
ideas. Limbs and wits both become
less nimble and agile.
1t has now been discovered to what
this condition is due. Certain sub
stances separate themselves from the
gray matter of the brain and cause a
thickening in the cells of that part of
the brain lying under the frontal bone,
forming gland-like body, which
scientists call plaques These
plaques" are ray-shaped kernels,
more or less irregular in form and fire.
quently assuming the shape of crys-
tails.
Just what substances cause the
growth of plaques" by segregation
from the brain matter, scientists do
not know. But they do know that
these substances are the substances
which make for nimbleness, quick
ness, ease of thought and movement.
The favorite place of the plaque, the
front portion of the brain, is also the
part of the brain which becomes dis
eased, in cases of paralysis, so that
some biological analogy exists be-
tween difficulty of movement and
speech and impossibility of movement
and speech.
The plaques" are found chiefly in
the rind of the brain. Very rarely
they attack the spinal column. If
present in minute numbers, the per
son attacked shows only the milder
symptoms of old age, slowness Of
movement, fatigue, inability to under
stand quickly. If presented in large
numbers, senile dementia, one of the
most horrible conditions into which
the human body lapse, occurs.
They attack the intellectual and the
dull-witted people alike in old age,
for some of the brightest minds be-
come afflicted with dullness and ap-
parent stupidity, even to senile de-
mentia in some instances. On the
other hand, people who have always
been ddli-witted, even illiterate, are
afflicted in a like manner, SO it can
not be claimed the affliction is due to
an overWorked brain.
