ARKANSAS HAS 78
 FARM DEMONSTRATORS

Little Rock, Feb 5.-How Arkan- sas is awakening to it's agricultural advantages is shown by the condition in the office of c. w. Watson, of the United States agricultural depart ment. A few years ago the counties employing demonstrators, with gov ernment aid, was small. Now there are IS men and women engaged in the demonstration work in Arkansas and other counties would take up the work if the government was prepared to assist them. The government has been contributing about $4O0 toward the expense of maintaining a demon strator in each county, but with so many engaged in the work, there is nothing left for the late corners.

This is work that we are proud of and by continuing an interest of this kind we can school our children at home much cheaper than we can by sending them from home, and at the same time we are building monu- ment which speaks well for our coun- try, of which we are so much indebt- ed.

ASKS FOR S4O0OO
 FOR STATE FAIR

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-The appro- priation of S40,0000 which has been asked for by Representative Wescott of Garland county, who is also the president of the Arkansas State Fair, for assistance in defraying the ex- penses of that institution for the next two years, has placed the matter in the hands of the government and state agricultural departments. The agriculturists are dividing the prem iums to the livestock, poultry, horti- cultural, mineral and other depart ments, but the greatest attention is being paid to the boys corn and cot ton clubs, the girls canning clubs and to the county exhibits.
 It is planned to have every county in the state compete with their ex- hibits, by allowing $50 or S75 for each county, to defray the actual eX- penses of collecting the exhibit and sending it to the fair. Many counties are now barred from the competition because there is no one to pay this initial cost.
 The boys com and cotton clubs and the girls canning clubs will be made happy with prizes to the extent of about $2,000 if the bill passes.
 "We have received much encourage ment on our bill," says Mr. Wescott, because we are asking the state to do nothing but pay the premiums, and that goes direct back into the pocket of the taxpayers of the state. Give us this amount and we will give Arkansas state fair which will com pare favorably with any of the states which have been holding them for half century, and we will give the state advertising greater than it ever received before, for we will have the people there to see the first real eX- hibition of Arkansas resources"

Novel Church.

Without sectarian ideas or denomi-
national teaching, a gospel meeting is
held all the summer months in the
unique Boardwalk church at Atlantic
City. This year-the fifth of the
schurch's existence-services are being
conducted each Lords day morning in
the Bijou theater-a room used usual
ly for moving pictures. Rev. Robert
Elwood is the founder and pastor. It
is a church without a choir, officer
or single member and without a collec-
ton plate. The business men of At
lantic City, as we'll as the visitors
think it worth while, and maintain this
gospel lighthouse by the sea. Ninety
per cent. of the audience is new each
Sunday. Persons gladly turn in from
the Boardwalk at the call for worship.
The audience is reverent, though
cosmopolitan. One Sunday morning
when test was made every civilized
country was represented in the large
congregation, as well as most of the
states of the Union.-Christian Herald.

Finds Dauqhter in Dream.

A dream, so vivid that it led a moth
er to travel nearly a thousand miles,
came true with the reunion of Mrs.
Marian A. Dexter of Chicago and her
daughter, Alice G. Dexter, for whom
she has been searching for fifteen
years.
On last Sunday night Mrs. Dexter.
in Chicago, dreamed that she found
her daughter living with the family
of James S. Slocum, in Moravia, N. 7.
So deeply was Mrs. Dexter impressed
by the dream that she journeyed to
Moravia, arriving there and finding
the dream true)in every particular.
Fifteen years ago Miss Dexter's par
ents decided to separate at Boston.
Mrs. Dexter at once went west, NOV
ing recently to Chicago. She had lost
all track of her daughter. Mr.. Dex-
ter died in New York year ago. The
daughter, who is a miniature painter,
had been visiting the Slocum family
for week past.

Gathering Oak Leaves,

In certain sections of New Jersey
the gathering of oak leaves is a late
summer and autumn industry. Pass
ing through the section where the in
dustry is carried on one sees the sides
of houses and barns or any other place
out of doors where the branches can
hang to dry filled with row after row
Of punches Of oak.
After drying for two weeks they are
put in bales for shipment. Last year
one man gathered over 300 punches
a day and had over twelve tons for
shipment.
The price is about $50 a ton and
there Is a brisk demand in European
cities for the oak branches thus pre-
pared. There are 100 limbs in a bun
die and 100 bundles in a bale. The
leaves are free for the taking, mostly.
Still some owners of woodland are
in the money making game them
selves and charge so much per acre
for the privilege.
The gatherer does not have to SOW
or cultivate-it seems as if the crop
were a gift of nature.

UNKNOWN To SCIENCE
STRANGE ANIMALS BELIEVED To
EXIST IN AFRICA.
Particulars Have Not Been Made Pub.
lie, But Professors of Natural His
tory Are Inclined to Credit
the Report.

Elk Africa semper aliuuid novi. The
proverb of the ancient world still holds
good in the bustling days and amid the
unf1agging activities of the twentieth
century. The latest report from what
used to be known as the Dark Cont
nent appears in contemporary. the
London correspondent of which re-
cords report of the discovery of yet
another strange and unknown beast"
in East Central Africa.
Particulars are said to have reached
the Natural History museum at Lon
don of the existence of an animal
about the size of bear, tawny color,
with very shaggy long hair" This in
teresting creature is also described as
short and thick-set in the body, with
high withers and short neck and
stumpy nose," and Its existence is
vouched for by more than one Off
cial.''
Inquiry at the museum by a repre-
sentative of the Pail Mall Gazette
fails, however, to confirm these attrac-
tive details. In the eyes of the author
tiles at South Kensington "particu-
lars'' of such discoveries have to be of
definite and material kind in the
shape of some portion of the animal,
bones, for example, or piece of
skin.
Nothing of that sort is at present
forthcoming. "Rumors have, however,
reached the museum" said an official
of the mammal department., "of the
existence Of a hitherto unknown ami
NAL, possibly such as is described, but
we have no PARTICULARS and can
therefore, substantiate no account OF
details. When the okapi was discov.
cred particulars were forthcoming in
, the form of belts made from it's skin
and worn by the natives
You do not, then, credit the &C
count?'
We don't say such an animal does
not exist. All that can be said is that
no particulars are to hand up to now
| There was rumor some time ago OF
the discovery Of a water elephant
| which, apparently, was of the nature
of very substantial tapir, but moth
ing seems to have come of it. If we
could have a proper systematic survey
of Central Africa it would probably re
suit in the discovery of any number
of new creatures.
The Kongo region, whence this ru
NOR in all probability arises, is almost
unknown from a geological point Of
| view. There are, for instance, any
number of new monkeys there. con
corning which we find nothing in the
! books of ten years ago. A few men are
| engaged in natural history research OF
! the borders of the Kongo region, anG
| the East Africa districts have beer
swept by the big game expeditions Of
| Roosevelt and others. But without
! doubt there are many unknown ami
mails yet to be discovered in the Kon
! go region"
