NORMAL DEFEATED
 BY HENDRIX GIRLS

The Hendrix girls basketball team defeated the State Normal girls in a fast game Saturday afternoon, the score being 25 to 10. As it is the first year Hendrix has entered the girls basketball championship and the Nor mai young ladies have won the three last state championships, the former feel much elated over their victory. The Hendrix team now claims the championship having previously de- feated Morrilton high school and Central College. The Normal team asserts that the championship should not be decided by single game and insists on a series of three being played. If an agreement between the teams is not reached the champion ship will probably be decided by the executive committee of the State Ath- letic Association.

NEARLY 2,OOO SEE
 ROOSEVELT HERE COLONEL GREfTS PEOPLE TRAIN IS RUSHED ON, ONLY TO BE DELAYED AN HOUR
 NEAR TOWN.

Nearly 2,000 people assembled at the railroad station here late Satur- day evening to catch a glimpse of Col Theodore Roosevelt, as the former president passed through Conway on his whirlw.nd trip across the state. Arriving here about an. hour behind it's schedule time, the special train stopped at the station only about two minutes.
 If the party could have foreseen it, Col. Roosevelt had time to deliver an address of nearly an hour here. Af- ter hurriedly pulling out from the station, the engineer was forced to stop the train about half-mile south of the station on account of hot journal and delay of about an hour resulted. Finally, the engine of pas senger train No. 103, which was run ming about 40 minutes behind the spe- clal, was uncoupled and attached to the special, while the crippled engine pulled the regular train into Little Rock. The special made the run from here in 35 minutes.
 At the stop here Col. Roosevelt was introduced by John Bruce Cox of Lit tie Rock, native Conway young man who is one of the leaders of the Roosevelt movement in this state. The former president waved his broad-brimmed hat and favored the crowd with his expansive smiles, but spoke only few words before he was interrupted by the train pulling out. After greeting the crowd he said: "ln this campaign we stand for de- cent politics, decent citizenship, de- cent Americanism." The young lady students of Central College, who stood in line on the cotton platform, attracted the attention of the former president, who referred to them with wave of his hat in his greetings as pretty girls"

APPROVES
 SABBATH CLOSING

The action of Mayor w. H. Dun can in ordering the stores of Conway to remain closed on Sunday was strongly endorsed in a sermon by Rev. E. R. Steel, pastor of the Meth odist church, yesterday morning. Rev Steel urged that the Christian people hold up Mayor Duncan's hands" in his efforts to enforce the Sabbath ob- servance laws. He said, however that many Christians robbed men of their Sabbath by compelling them to do work on Sunday.
 The Hid" was not lifted in the slightest particular yesterday, so far as could be learned. The doors of every store were kept locked through out the day, and no attempt was made to resist the mayors closing order.

American "Bush Ropes.v

Curiously twisted "lianes," or bush
ropes, are one of the chief of the many
wonderful sights to be seen in the
primeval forests of tropical America.
They are of great strength and dura
bility far tougher than the strongest
rope. These Flames" are generally
light brown in color and run along the
ground and then up into the branches
of the trees, where they form fantas-
tic loops After this aerial journey
they may run down to the ground
again and thence climb once more to
the top of the tallest trees sometimes
reaching several hundred feet in
length, and putting out their leaves
and ilowers only at the tops of the
trees. The very largest kind is called
the liantasso or monkey ladder" by
the natives in Trinidad. One species
when cut. gives forth stream of the
purest cool water. which is a great boon
to the thirsty traveller.-Wid World
