Dow Whits on Leaves Brink.
 ley.

This announcement with any other name in connection would not mean anything out of the ordinary, but when we tell the Brinkleyite that Dow Whitson has left Brinkley it maan a lot, for during the twenty-one years that I have been rlnn ing paper in Brinkley it is about the first opportunity I have had of this kind.
 Dow Waitso1is chief of the Bri lkley Volunteer Fire Co. T the best in all Arkansas and during all these twenty-one years has never missed fire. He is a busy man the hardest worker in Brinkley-- but has never been ! to busy too give his services to the people without cents cost, lin this and many other unselfish ways. He never goes away on any kind of a trip or vacation, and therefore when he quietly left town for few hours this week to go to Little Rock to at tend busi ess engagement, it was a matter worthy of note.

The Effect of the Election.

Little Rock; April 4th When asked his opinion of the result of the Democratic primary, Supt. Frank Barrett of the state-mide campaign said: "The result of the election of Governor will not effect the interests of our. state wide bill, since the prohibition vote was about equally divided between the two candidates, and as many of our strong advocates for statewide and supporters of the bill were supporters of Robin son as well as Donagney. Gov. Donaghey insisted on the state wide prohibition being made an issue in the campaign, while MT. Hinemon, one of Mr.. Robinson's s campaign managers, insisted that the prohibition question should not enter into the governors s race, it being now in the hands of the people under the initiative and Referendum, This makes it clear that the sdefeat of Gov. Donaghey does not mean that the supporters. of MT. Robinson are opposed to statewide prohi- bition. On the contrary, many of them are among the largest contributors to our state-W idle fund and strongest supporters of Jour bill."

A CanfuI Of Wind.

The origin of the phrase "a cupful
of wind can be traced to a Morse
king, Eric VI, who died in 9OT A. ID.
He was creditedywith the useful power
Of directing the wind to blow where
be wished by the simple method Of
turning his cap to that point OF the
compass. His powers were much ap-
preciated and trusted and resulted In
his being known as windy cap"
There Is no evidence as to whether he
could regulate the force Of the wind
as well as the direction. Presumably
he could. or his faithful believers
would not have been so many. A bag
full Of wind" is another common ex-
preston and indicates something like
a gale. This has been traced down to
the classical legend of Aeolus and his
captive winds confined In bags.

COLORED RAIN AND SNOW.
And In Volcanic Regions Gray Hail Is
Relatively Common


In certain parts of Spain during last
winter red and black snow fell. The
phenomenon is explained as being due
to the presence in the atmosphere In
unusual quantities Of certain mineral
salts. History mentions a day when
1.-The heavens rained blood" In the mid
die ages such an occurrence was ac-
cepted as predicting wal or famine. or.
at any rate. shedding Of blood.
The presence Of a mic~ro-organism
seems always to accompany red rain.
In volcanic regions gray hail IS reIa-
lively common. In Sicily this has been
observed very often. because the high
er layers of the atmosphere are filed
with ashes from Mount Etna. During
the past century there have been black
rains in England twice. and on both oc-
casions the color was due to the pres
ence of heterogeneous.
A curious fall of red snow is observed
sometimes in the Alps in spring. but
black snow is a rarity. Last spring in
the mountains that surround the valley
Of Emmen snow Of a dirty grayish
black has been noticed. 1t formed q
crust Of some centimeters in thickness
and extended over the white snow
which had fallen on previous days
This strange occurrence has not been
satisfactorily explained. but it is sup
posed that the volcanic ashes from
Etna were carried by the winds and
precipitated by the dampness Of the
air.-Harper's Weekly.

His Friends Found Him Acting as Chef
In a Trouville Inn.

His Friends Found Him Acting as Chef
In a Trouville Inn.
The familiar story of the arrival of
the great Dumas at Trouville on a May
afternoon in the thirties is a cheerful
anecdote. Laughing loudly. he crossed
the Tongues carried on the shoulders
Of a sturdy Norman peasant and en-
tered the primitive little inn of those
early days with all the clatter and ex-
element which usually distinguished
his movements.
La Mere Oseraie, the good woman
who kept it, told him fatty that she re
ceived none but painters. The Trou-
vile Of those days was a tiny fishing
village which only a few artists had
discovered. Dumas promptly alleged
that he was a painter in words" and
eve offered to paint-or write-her
signboard, which the other clients-un-
grateful dogs-had promised. but neg
confusing evidence of good faith mol
lifted the good innkeeper. and she 0 n
scented to receive Dumas at the amaz-
ing price Of 2 francs a day, tout COM
pris. Trouville was indeed then what
the French term un petit trou pas cher
"a little hole not dear"
When the painters, friends whom
Dumas had come to see in their remote
corner. returned toward evening from
the green woods and glades along the
little rivers valley they found the
amiable giant filing the inn with his
cries and laughter and brandishing a
great spoon in the kitchen. where be
was presiding personally over the prep
aration of an evening meal which
promised to run his bill for extras into
figures hitherto unknown in Trouville.
