For Physical Culture.

Prof. Waehtel also asked that the
board take under consideration the
matter of introducing a system of
physical culture into the High School
at a not distant time for both boys
and girls. He said that such a system
with the implied room and equipment
for Its development, was very much
needed; and but for the generosity of
the Y. M. G. A. in allowing the use of
the gymnasium. the High School 'pu.
pills would have no place for indoor
physical exercise at all. He said,
furthermore, that those pupils who ex.
celled in athletic exercises were gem
orally the best students. The board
promised to take up the matter some
of these days, the members all being
favorable to the proposition. but this
year a lack of funds put it out of the
question, a condition that Prof. Waeh.
tel said he was aware of.

to a business matter of vital impor-

NEWS TRAVELS IN HOSPITALS
Wireless Outdone In Rapidlty with Which Patients Get Forbidden
 Information.

"A very efficient system of wire. less telegraphy exists in every hos pital," said the nurse. Apparently all patients have the knack of trans hitting messages, otherwise the news of serious cases would not travel so quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It is contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them do observe strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding hat pre- caution there is never an interesting case in the building whose history is not known and discussed in the re- motest corner.
 'Last week a boy suffering from g peculiar tind of throat trouble WAS brought into first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in the case. yet they took special pains never to mention 1t in the hearing of another patient. But for all the good their caution did they might as well have lectured on the case in every ward; for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said to the nurses:
 "'So that poor boy died, did he? l guess there wasn't much hope tos him from the start
 Now. DOW did the news travel!"

Unltad Throuab Literature,

More than one literary man owes happy marriage to his books. Long before she first met her future hus' band had Elizabeth Barrett felt her velf drawn toward the author of "Bells and Pomegranates," of which she makes the hero of Lady Geraldine's Courtship" say: Some Pomegranate of Browning's, which. if cut deep down the middle, shows the heart within blood-tinctured of veined humanity" Nor was Browning insensible to the charm of the lady's work, so that the inevitable, thugh delayed, meeting, re- suited in a love which, overcoming all obstacles. resulted in the happiest of unions.

With the Democratic
 Press of Arkansas
Why You Are Pledged to Hays.


 The Democrats of Arkansas are not free to vote for who ever they want TOT Governor in the State election July 23. They are pledged to Judge George w. Hays because he is the Democratic nominee. i, The party at . primary cast a majority vote for him and the Demo- cratic Central Committee certified him as the party's representative.
 There are some people ever ready to declare som2thing is going to the bow VOWS. ' might be their neighoor, business competitor or enemy Any thing they don't like is going to the bad simply because it isn't run to suit them.
