Little Rock, March 22.-Be tween now and April 1 a deputy marshal will leave for Washing ton, D, C., with Clarie c. Me Mullen, late stenographer in the office of c. W. Watson, State Demonstration Agent for Ark ansas. McMullen is charged by indictment in the national capital. with having on July 24, 1911, de- serted his wife, May McMullen, in destitute and necessitous cir cumstances. Local officers dis covered him through an order left at the postoffice to forward his mail to St. Louis.
 At first he denied his identity and said that McMullen was not his name. Later he admitted hls identity before Commission CT Allen, but did not admit his guilt. His bond was placed at $500, which he was unable to give. and he was placed in jail for safe keeping. There is a woman here who has been interested in him.
 McMullen is 21 years old originally from Boston, and was assigned here January 26 from the Civil Service headquarters in St. Louis. Mir. Watson says he has been a very capable employe.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

entitled, The Lady and the Cocktail" presented rather unusal semi-humorous treatment of the drink evil. It says:
 The latest examination of Mis- tress Elinor Glyn's new book re- veals the fact that there is a soft spot in her heart for the Ameri can cocktail.
 She says it tastes like ''ipeca- cuanha wlne mixed brandy and something bitter and a touch of orange.' And she adds that you have not swallowed it five minutes before you feel that
 you have not care in the world and that nothing matters"
 It is pleasing to note that Mis- tress Glyn's estimate of the after effects of cocktails on the female system agrees with the more general view of our well known American expert, MT. George Ade. In his popular tract known as "The Sultan of Sulu" Mir. Ade expresses the same idea in this truthful verse; When you've had one you call for two,
 And then you don't care what you do.
 But neither Mrs. Glyn nor Mr. Ade goes quite far enough in describing the results of cock. tailing. Mrs. Glyn merely ob- serves that you have the vague feeling that nothing matters. ." Mr. Ade, little more emphatic, though equally indetinate, says you don't care what you do. "
 Fortunately the reports of cer- tain celebrated cases in the newspapers enable us to enlarge our understanding of the matter as far as women are concerned.
 There was Mistress Claudia Hains-perhaps our best recent l illustration of the large consequ- ences that from little cocktails grow. Of course, one cocktail does not make Mistress Hains. But a rapid succession of them tends to develop the type we may call the cocktail woman. :" And from the footsteps of the cocktail woman," if you give her time enough, is pretty sure to start trail of misery and shame.
 And there is Mrs. Howard Gould. No matter who is chie> fly responsible for the family break up, there is no discount ing the part which the insidious cocktails have played in this sor. did drama of domestic unhappi- ness.
 The divorce suit is, in a way, the long after taste of multitudi- nous cocktails consumed. It is the long result of the nothing matters" feeling which Mrs. Glyn properly classities as the symaptom of the earliest stage of cocktailing.
 "Ipecacuanha wine, brandy something bitter and touch of orange" says Mrs. Glyn. The analysis would hardly satisfy a a pure food expert. Still, she is entitled to her impression. As for us, we incline to think that if she had read about the Hains case, the Gould case. and divers other cases, she would have add. ed to the definition this: And, later, something bitterer still"

NEWS TRAVELS IN HOSPITALS
Wireless outdone In Rapidly with
Which Patients Get Forbidden
Information,

"A very efficient system of wire
less telegraphy exists in every hos
pital," said the nurse. Apparently
all patients have the knack of trans
mitting messages, otherwise the news
of serious cases would not travel SO
quickly and accurately from ward to
ward. It is contrary to the rules for
hospital attendants to retail gossip,
and most of them do observe strict
secrecy, yet Notwithstanding that pre-.
caution there is never an Interesting
case in the building whose history is
not known and discussed in the re,
hottest corner.
Last week boy suffering from q
peculiar kind of throat trouble was
brought into q first floor ward. The
doctors were very much interested in
the case, yet they took special pains
never to mention it in the hearing OF
another patient. But for all the good
their caution did they might as well
have lectured on the case in every
ward; for when the boy died men and
women all about the hospital said to
the nurses:

COOKED EGGS ON FLATIR0N
With the Gao Stove Frozen Up, New
Yorker Proved Himself Equal
to the Emerqency, 1..-,.-

The prolonged cold spell this win

sons who never before had any idea
Of the uses to which electricity could
be put. When the gas gave out in
looking stoves owing to tho pipes be-
Ing frozen-as it did in hundreds of
houses-there was a rush for electric
cooking utensils.
But sometimes the emergency arose
when it was not possible to buy such
things in time. One such case oc-
Cured at breakfast time and left the
family with nothing on which to cook
eggs. The master of the house knew
they had an electric flatiron. He told
them to invert it and cook the eggs
on it's polished undersurface, which
was done without difficulty. Small
pancakes and toast were cooked in
the same way.
Another resourceful man used 4
hat1ron to thaw out a frozen radia-
tor, while yet another, in order to make
his radiator more efficient and stir up
the stagnant air in room, placed an
electric fan on the floor and direct
ed blast of air against the radiator.

Gaelic Alphabet,

Men familiar with the Gaelic tongue
tell us that the alphabet of that an.
cient language is the most curious of
all alphabets, in that nearly every let
ter is represented by tree. The al
phabet of today comprises eighteen
letters; ancient Gaelic had seventeen.
Now, as of old, all the letters with
the exception of 6, and u, which
stand for ivy, furze and heather, are
called after trees. --.-- -. -.
The Gaelic now runs: Ailm,
bette, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath,
huath, iogh, luis, muin, nuin, DIV.
peith. ruis, suil, teine. ur, which is
equivalent21to saying: Elm, birch, ha.
eel, oak, aspen, alder, ivy, whitehorn,
yew, rowan or quicken, vine, ash, spin.
dletree, pine, elder, willow, furze,
heath. In the ancient Gaelic alpha
bet the letter h (the huath, or white.
horn) does not exist. The alphabet
is called the beth-luis-nuin, because
b, !, n, and not a, b, c, are its first
three letters.

Question Of SEEING,

interview in New York, her Irish
Players and their Irish plays. :
''Some people, it is evident" she

Synge and w. B. Yeats are works of
art-beautiful works of art. It is q

the American liner who fell into con-

monotony of his home, at K1lkee, in
County Glare. But the other, knowing

grandeur, said: lr :
