 Little Rock.-W. B. Folsom of Brink ley, manager of the "Arkan sas on Wheels train, has been notified that R. w. Johnson, who took series of Arkansas views for visual education in the New York public schools last winter, will return to the state soon to obtain views of the largest peach orchard in the world at Highland and the Arkansas diamond mines. These sets of views. which have attracted the New York people will complete the educational series on Arkansas.
 Mir Johnson was attracted to Arkan- sas by the Arkansas on Wheels" train. which he visited at Pittsburg, and the panoramic view of which was taken by him. He was employed by the New York board of education to prepare several sets of plates. the negatives for which are to be used in the New Tory high schools in the be- partment of visual education.
 The Arkansas views he took while here last summer were as follows: series of Hot Springs pictures: a se- ries showing the cultivation of rice from clearing the ground to harvest ing, including about dozen views; series on timber resources, cotton planting, etc.
 Speaking of Mr.. Johnson's work, MT. Folsom says:
 The story of rice growing in Ark ansas is told in such an interesting and graphic way by these pictures that the boy and girl in the New York schools who are to have the advantage of this new departure-visual educa- tion-will learn more at a glance than by many hours of studying and they get it in such practical way that they will always remember it.
 Now this alone is worth the entire cost of the Arkansas on Wheels train, through whose direct influence MT. Johnson come to Arkansas and made and collected the series of views as above described, securing the assist ance of local photographers to per fectly accomplish his purpose"

Henry pressed his lips together.
Are you in sympathy with the sis

See here, Isabel. a juryman isn't
supposed to talk with any one about

Nonsense" deprecated Isabel, Now
it's been proven that he was in his

and he had a perfect right to leave

way, If 1t a be broken? DO you
mean to tell mo If you left your money

There was so much money the sis

clared Henry, forgetting himself.

cook, and they have jelly roll on the
table every Sunday.
OF course, I have been invited to a
good many state dinners since I have
been here, but people naturally don't
go to state dinners for the purpose of
eating; that is to say, most people do
not. 1 did, but l o % found that eat
ing was not figured in as u part Of
The program. People go to state din
ners to talk, and a person who has
had nothing on his stomach but his
union suit for two or three DAYS and
goes to one of these dinners with the
expectations Of getting a meal, is apt
to be disappointed. They put on a
course, leaving it on long enough for
you to admire the dishes, and then
yank 1t off again. Anybody who tries
to grab a spoonful Of soup or an olive
or wafer is apt to collide with the
waiter and get a broken arm or a
sprained wrist. After a course is re-
moved they talk until the next comes.
There is a story. here OF a gentleman
from Arkansas who starved to death
etween the entree and the salad. but
! don't believe 1t, I don't be-
lieVe any gentleman ever came from
Arkansas.
One thing I cannot understand is
why the society women here wear such
expensive gowns to dinner parties.
When they sit dow at the table there
isn't a bit OF the gown in sight. be-
lieve a good many of these circus bare
back performers were recruited from
Washington society, but of course that
is another question and we are wan
dering from our subject, which is that
of the expense account.
Our expense account up to this mo-
lDent has been as follows.

AS the case progressed, the House Of
Wysp became divided. Henry's connec-
ton with the contested will brought 1t
very near home to them and Henry
would come fresh from the court with
the impression of the aged sister in his
mind. while Isabel would rise out OF
a mound of newspapers the champion
of the widow. Henry and Isabel, who
with n%eatness and dispatch, rarely
quarreling, had made quite a serious
issue out of this trouble, which really
concerned neither Of them.

They settle lawsuits in advance OF the

Over the back yard fence.
There is no appeal from decision they

They argue the case just for argu-

While victuals are burning, until
