 MOuav ltOmnS

Los Angeles, Cal, July 24.-Little Miss Evelyn Brown, who has yet to celebrate her second birthday, gave her parents, MT. and Mrs. Frank Brown, her aunt, Miss Emma Hyams, and her uncle-to-he, Dr. Henry ". Bogue, reason to believe that she likes rather more costly things to eat than any of the familiar kinds of baby foods. to be found in the stores. Dr. Bogue, happy in the knowledge that the day for his marriage to Miss Hy- mans had arrived, had called to ar range the final details for the cere- mony with the bride-;o-De, when little Evelyn toddled up to him. Me wanna piece paper to write on." She i'm periously demanded. Too much en- crossed to know or care just what he gave her, the young physician prompt ly handed to the little one lot of letters from his pocket and went on talking to Miss Hymans. Something was said about expenses of the we'd ding trip, and Dr. Rogue felt in his pocket for q $500 draft he had pro- vided. It wasn't there. Unwittingly ne had handed it to Evelyn with the letters, and the child, with nice dis crimination, had decided it was the most attractive paper in the lot and had calmly eaten it. Dr. Bogue tele- phoned home for more money and the wedding was postponed until the new funds arrive.

ARKANSAS HOGS MAKE RECORD
. ! + | + + +~%%+* <

The strongest argument that could De used in behalf of the packing house that is to be established in this cty by the Arkansas Packing Company is the recent record made by Arkansas hogs at the National Stock Yards in Illinois, when IA big porkers, weighing on an average of 227 each, topped the St. Louis market price paid fer hogs on July b. The record made by the Arkan- sas products created so much inter- est that the National Live Stock Re- porter captioned an interesting atti- cle ."Arkansas to The Front"
 If Arkansas can out-do other states in hog raising and it appears she can, in view of the fact that all of the Arkansas hogs were purchased for the fancy butcher trade, why should it not keep this money at home and market home grown hogs itself. It can be done and will be done, right here in Pine Bluff. Ark ansas not only eXcels in hog "a sing, but it's cattle is regarded as the fin est shipped into the Central West markets.
 The caption of the article was cor rect. Arkansas is coming to the front It does not intend to remain in the rut longer. Within the next few years we are going to show other states something in the packing house line, too. Just keep your eye on Pine Bluff and Arkansas. MT. Editor of the National Live Stock Reporter, and we'll give you something even more Interesting to write about. The spec fal from National Stock Yards, Itll- flois. has the following to say of the ArhanEas hogs:
 Hogs from Arkansas topped the St. Louis market today. A consignment of IA head from Washington county weighing on an,sayerage R0f 327 each. I'ieys xere purcaasad sfor thef fancy butcaer trade at $7!65T hundred weight This was Higher than any other hog bronGht hare in the day.

Pine Bluff, Hot Spr ngs, Texarkana Al genta, Newport, composed all Ark ansas State League.
 Every team ''jumped' through Lit tie Rock, or in other words. paid ex- penses to get through and around Little Rock.
 The Arkansas League was almost on paying basis. It came near to being permanent. The difference was just about the difference in expense of jumping around and through Little Rock.
 At that time Little Rock had a Southern League team, and the state league expected nc cooperate on from Little Rock. Later it was found that Little Rock was not big enough for Southern League society, and Little Rock was dropped.
 Then We baseball fans of the circle of cities surrounding Little Rock had hopes that we would get team in the state league placed in Little Rock. and restore the state league.
 Little Rock stood pat for Southern League bail or none, and has had none 5 nee.
 Now Little Rock appears before the other cities of the state to which it would be a baseball hub, as a necessary factor in a successful state league. Little Rock won't play state league ball, and can't play Southern League ball, hence the con- clusion of the canine is the trough ;
 Having "briefed" this subject back to the editor of the Little Rock Ga zette, we subm t that if the situation is important" as the Gazette admits it to be, if true, We maintain both points-viz, that it is both true and important.-Hot Springs Sentinel Record.

MAKING FIGHT FOR
 B0WMAN'S LIFE
COUNSEL WELL CHARGE THAT CONVICTION WAS OBTAINED
 WITHOUT DUE PROCESS,
State and Federal Courts Have Acted and Both Decline to Disturb
 Original Judgment.

Fort Smith, July 24.-Bowman. who is under sentence to hang in this city in September on the charge of crim- inal assault, may obtain still another reprleve, if the plans of his attorney oo not mlscarry. Bowman s case has gone once to the State Supreme Court. his attorney being; defeated in each instance. The crime was the alleged cflmlnal assault upon 12-year-old girl The fact that the assault was al- legged to have been committed upon the famous Choctaw strip afforded the ground for the defense on the ground that the indictment alleged that it oc- cured i'll the county of Sebastian and State of Arkansas. The defense at tackled the congressional and legisla- tive acts which purported to have ced- ed the strip to Arkansas. The lower court sustained the contention and held that it had no jurisdiction. The State Supreme Court reversed and on the second trial Bowman was con- victed at Waldron on change of venue, which finding was taken to the federal Supreme Court, which sus- tained the state court but did not specifically rule on the point of whether the Choctaw strip is a part of Arkansas.
 Bowmans counsel is preparing and will present to the federal district court in this city an application for wit of habeas corpus on the ground that defendant was convicted without due process of law In the event that the local federal court denies the writ it is to be appealed to the high federal court in the hope of securing a ruling on the Choctaw strip jurs- diction, and final settlement of the much-mooted question of whether the strip is a part of Arkansas or Okla homa. The parcel of ground known as the Cnoctaw strip is part of Fort Smith two miles long and at it's wid- est point is less than 40 rods vide lying between the old state and city lines and the Arkansas and Poteau rivers. The original purpose of state, city and government in getting it de- clared part of Arkansas and of Se- bastian county was to put it within the county jurisdiction in order that the prevalent lawlessness might be stop red

 The law provides that the sheriffs and collectors of the various counties will make their final settlements with the state within 15 days after the county courts of their respective coun- ties have approved their settlements. If after that time has expired and still they have not made their settle ments with the state, then warrants are issued and they are brought in for explanation.
 On account of the many extensions of tax-paying time, made by Governor Geo. w.

ceive a crown Of eternal life that
awaits all who are faithful until

She was the mother of fourteen

waited upon her tenderly in her

She is gone. but her life is still
here shedding its influence upon

The Beautiful Words of the
PSaImiSt.

Editor THE CHRONICLE;
Of all the words of Holy Writ,
or of ancient or modern poets-of
all the beautiful and sublime Ian
guage of the Book of God-it
seems to me the first seven verses
of the Forty-sixth Psalm is the
most excellent. God is our refuge
and strength, very present help
in trouble; therefore, will not we
fear, though the earth be removed
and though the mountains be car
ried into the midst of the sea, etc.
Happy is the church or the indi-
vidual who can in deed and in truth
adapt these as the sentiment of
their heart. Happy the life that
could SO trust and confde in God.
Peaceful the mind that could thus
trust in God. Let us read and
mediate upon and live by the
Forty-sixth Psalm.
