THE GRIM SHADOW APPEARS.

Various minor adventures befell the in
habitants Of our hamlet. Train after train
was struck off there was trouble about the
dispatch of milk cans: farmers found them
selves hit in unexpected ways. Yet life
seemed To go on much as usual. The
ploughman ploughed, the sources gardener
made ready his beds for bedding out, the
baker made bread. Mister Tompkins trav-
elled the country for his firm. But ever the
grim shadow Of the strike drew nearer
Sons OF the hamlet who had been 10 work
at distant places came home-out OF work.
Pitiful letters arrived from friends and
relatives. We saw visions Of many wolf
AZ many door. But still the sun shone
on our green fields: the birds built their
nests in the hedgerows. Still Mister Temp
kins rubbed his hands over the pluck Of the
miners and declared IL would show them.
One night In particular he was talking
the reddest revolutionary stuff-not under
stood by most Of US in the Golden Poland
expressing more ardently than ever his hope
that the strike would continue. Next day.
he received this letter:
Mr. Tompkins
"Sir-Your directors regret that. owing to
the disturbed industrial conditions, they
have TO ask you to take this letter as formal
intimation to terminate your engagement,
since the disastrous effects Of the coal
strike make il necessary 10 suspend this
business. and no further orders can be en-
tertained."
Could the Bishop himself have expressed
a greater longing for peace than Mister
Tompk!ns then did? Could the squire him.
self have equalled the torrents Of invective
he forthwith poured on the heads of the
strikers? I fancy not. And know that
the different song Mister Tompkins sang
was httngly celebrated by those who fore
gather OF an evening at the Golden Pot

Express"

DISAGREED WITH THE BISHOP.

Now there was one among us who was in
no way inclined to agree with the Bishop,
nor with the squire, either Mister Temp
kins we regard as a smart young man. He
is country representative Of large London
firm and his work is 10 canvass two coun-
ties for orders Day by day he sets off on
his travels in little motor carriage, ex-
ploring every highway and byway Of the
two counties. and so he brings US the news
Of the world. Not one can hold forth more
fuently than he Of all who foregather at
the Golden Pot Of an evening.
Mister Tompkns did not wish 10 see
speedy settlement OF the strike. He was all
for the men. They were jolly good fellows.
the miners. doing heroic deeds. lie adj
mred their pluck. He hoped the strike
would last a month, that would show them,
he said-though who il would show, and
what. we never clearly understood. In the
mean time he had nothing to fear. Had
he not ordered in five tons Of coal when the
price yet stood az only 3os? We envied
him his capital. We gladly accepted his
invitation to fill up again and drink TO the
strike.
And then the great black shadow OF the
coal war began 10 spread across the coun-

most Of us went on living in our fools

THE RISING OF PRICES.

The village baker and grocer had a story
TO tell. He had thought to be unaffected
by the strike; wood is his fuel for bread
making not coal. But the man who sup
piled him with his taggots had put up his
prices. The baker retaliated-for this we
all had TO suffer-by putting up the prices
OF his bread and his groceries. Therefore
the man who supplied him with wood went
elsewhere for his bread and his cheese and
the baker went elsewhere for his faggots.
We drank. each man OF us, another mug
Of beer on the strength of the story, and
wondered what would happen next.
The next thing was that the brick fields,
hard by the hamlet. closed down. This
was a puzzle. We scratched our heads
over it at the Golden Pot; bricks. like
bread. can be made without coal. II not
without straw. One of the out-of-work
brick field laborers, presently dropping In,
cleared the mystery. They were willing
and able to go on making bricks. but the
railway company would not carry them.
So we drank another mug Of beer on the
strength Of this and wondered what next.
Some said one thing and some said an-
other The publican supposed his custom
would fall off the baker seemed 10 be en-
Pertaining gloomy fears about his trade.
Mister Tompkins said most. IL was begin
ming 20 show them-this was the turden
OF his song. He was in great spirits that
night when the brick fields closed down.
The out-of-vork laborer drank much beer,
but spoke seldom 1t seemed that the sunny
side Of the strike was not visible TO MIN,
for all the chortling of Mister Tompkins.

ENTHUSIASTIC REPORTS OF
 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

r A student in this city from the Ark and University has received the fol- lowing communication from mem- Der of the faculty, which shows the enthusiasm with which the work for the coming year is being begun
 "Old students all over the State. versity. Everything points to good opening Dr. Brough and Professors Briscoe and Williams are making a thorough canvass. They are sending encouraging reports. The office here is also working hard. Almost ali rooms in the girls 3ormitory are taken and engagements at the boys dormitories are now over 200. In the meantime, the. adverse sentiment in the State is rapidly giving place to a hopeful and confident feeling, thanks to the splendid work of students, fac ulty, and newspapers.
 Moreover, you will be glad to know that the faculty has been busy on the work of internal reorganization. IT.. aid in this work, the president spent some time visiting and studying 6 few strong state universities. Among the changes effected, probably the most important is the reorganization of the faculty itself. Instead of one unweildy faculty as heretofore, tho new plan divides the university into the colleges-the College of Agricul- ture, the College of Engineering, and the College of Arts and Sciences, ano provides a separate faculty for eacl college composed of the teaching force of that college. Each faculty will have jurisdiction over affairs per taining exclusively to its college. Fol the university as whole, a univer- sity senate is created composed of tn head professors of all the colleges The senate is to be the general legis- lative and policy determining body ft the university.;f In addition, univets sity council of seven members is pro vided for, to be the central admins trative and advisory body of the uni versity.
 In all this work perfect harmony and team work have prevailed in thu faculty. An unselfish devotion to the welfare of the university has marked their efforts. Hence a brighter da' for our university seems to be dawn ing. M
