hidden by a huge. Topping. bushel-

her drifted the most remarkable train
that ever was. She tottered In on
her high-heeled shoes and peered
about the place with q mingling OF
coyness and assurance that was amaz-
ing. Harry looked up. saw her. and
groaned. Then he lapsed back furth-
or into the chair and mentally gave
himself up to the inevitable with the
words:

She looked him over coolly. and

Harry stared at her for the moment
with utter Darkness. Then II slowly
filtered through his brain that she was

Plan Future Growth of City

Little Rock, June 14.-The city administration, county judge and Parkways Association are con sidering a proposition to bring to Little Rock in the near future an expert city planner, to make a comprehensive plan f or t h e future growth of the city. The Association is in correspondence with John Nolen, of Cam bridge, Mass, who has done this kind of work at Chattanooga, Lacrosse, and elsewhere with eminent sue cess. A civic center, and sys- tenn of parks connected by boule- wards are being considered, and should the bond issue go through next fall, it is probable that the plan would be carried out on a large scale.

When the Boat prlfted On.

Charles H. Hall of Missoula, who oc. casionally runs for attorney general of Montana on the Democratic ticket usually in years when Montana goes Republican-says two French Cana dian citizens of his home town were travelling down river in Montana in a houseboat. One of them knew the river and the other did not.
 They anchored for the night on a bar. Along toward daylight the craft went adrift. Three hours later the motion awoke one of the travellers. He poked his head out of the door. An entirely strange section of scenery was passing.

MANY APPEALS TO
 RIVER COMMISSION

St. Louis. June 13.-The Mis- sissippi River Commission, at it's meeting here today, was deluged with appeals for allotments for levee work by delegates from the Mississippi river districts which suffered from the recent flood. The entire morning and after noon was occupied in hearing the statements of the delegates by the committee in it's offices at the Liggett building. At the con- clusion of the hearings, Col. c. McD. Townsend, the president, announced that the commission will take the petitions under ad- viSement. He called attention to the fact that the appropriation bill from which the allotments are to be made is still pending in Congress. The bill probably will not come up until July. The ap- propriation pending is for $0, GOO, : GOO, but if all the allotments re- quested today were made it would take an appropriation of about SIP, 100000. The commis- sion will use the data secured in making it's report, and will take it into consideration in mak- ing it's final allotments when the ap prOpriation is available.

BOARD TO SELECT
 NEW PRESIDENT

Little Rock, June 14.-An ad- iourned meeting of the University Board of Trustees is to be held in tbe governors office in Little Rock June 26. At that time it is nrobable that at least progress will be reported on the selection If a new president of the Univer- sty After the declination of Iudee J. N. Tillman to be con sidered as an applicant, and his consent to serve until his success
 sor is elected, the matter was nIaced in the hands of a special faculty committee consisting of profs. Droke and Carroll, and the teachers committee consisting of NIessrs. Cook, Reid and Hill.
 The presidency was discussed only tentatively, but it appeared to be the sentiment of probably majority of the Board that an effort should be made to secure one of the biggest university men in the country, even if it be nee essary to pay him as much as | S10,000 a year. The sub-commit- tee is looking about the country for available material, and will not act hastily. It is not to be considered a political job, and the progressive members of t h e Board consider that no man is too big for the place.
