SETTLED STATUS OF POET
dorsed by Many Who Have Tried to Read BroWnnq.

The writings of Robert Browning, which are in great favor among an aesthetic few but continue to be caviar to the general public, probably received their keenest criticism from Douglas Jerrold half a century ago. Jerrold was recovering from a violent illness when copy of Brownings 8 "Sordello" fell into the hands of the convalescent He began to read, but not complete idea could he get from that mystic production. The thought then struck him that he had lost his reason during his illness Filled with agony, precipitation burst from his brow. At that moment his wife enter ed the room. Read this, my dear" he cried out, thrusting the volume into her hands. After several attempts to make any sense out of it, as Jer- rold related, she returned it, saying, Bother the gibberish! I don't un- derstand a word of it!" Thank heaven" exclaimed Jerrold, then I am not an idiot after alli"

Japanese EmbaIming.

In the olden days in Japan the mas ter embalmer was successful in se- curing to posterity perfectly extraor- dinary amount of preservation in the bodies on which he operated. The Japan Chronicle draws attention to a case of this nature which has re- gently come to light in Kobe. The op- eration of laying out a public park there included the removal of some graves of the Aoyama family. Two graves were opened belonging to old daimyo who were buried about 200 years ago. The graves consisted of stone cells with large collins of wood, containing inner collins of earthen- ware. On the spaces between the cell walls and the wooden coffins be- ing opened those present were much surprised to see that the bodies were in state of perfect preservation, hav- ing all the appearance of wax fig ures. The old Amagasaki lords lay in almost lifelike freshness. Several val uable personal belongings were found in the graves. including two long swords, women's hair ornaments, boxes for pocket inkstones, gold fam il yseals, writing brushes, etc.-Lon don Globe

VOTE AGAINST
 SUPERINTENDENT SCHOOL ELECTION RESULT
LESS THAN 100 VOTES CAST IN CONWAY DISTRICT ON LAST
 SATURDAY.

County supervision of schools seems to have been overwhelmingly defeated m Faulkner county at Saturdays school election, judging from scatter ing returns received today in the office of County Clerk J. A. Lea. In six or eight districts reporting the vote against the proposition was almost unanimous, while in the Conway spe- cial district, where it was expected that superintendency would receive large vote, it carried by margin of only one.
 The lightest vote in many years was cast in the Conway district, total of only 95 being boiled. There was no opposition to J. wv. James and J. E. Little foY reelection, and they receiv- ed the full vote. No votes were cast against tax and only two for less than seven mills. The vote by wards was as follows:
 First Ward-For directors, J. w. James, 32, J. E. Little, 32; for seven mill tax, 26; against tax, 0; for su- pervision, 12; against supervision, 21.

LISTENING TO THE CHIMES
Message of the Centuries Conveyed to Those Who Have Minds At
 tuned to Hear.

Sitting in the village churchyard, while the children play with flowers upon the sodded grass, and the slow gossips saunter past the gate and the evening sunshine breaks in through the golden shower of the laburnums and rests peacefully on the worn head stone, the chiming of the bells trem- bles through the air like speech of living voices What histories of hu- man life have they not witnessed up in that gray tower among the ivy! What fears and jealousies, what greed and passion and awful sins, handed down in whispers of dark tradition, have they not rung in and out at baptism and wedding and funeral! What mysteries are sealed under these tombs, but no mysteries to them! How they have chimed for every one that is buried round, and mixed with their thoughts, and wan dered with them through other lands, and come to them in dreams; dying children have heard them call to heaven; have fingered sweetly in the ears of happy brides; lonely fathers have wept with them for the dead; the have softened the prodicals s heart in a far country; they have rung like the voice of peace through the din of battle; they have startled the wick ed thought and palsied the wicked hand, and there they peal still, out of the past into the present, over the dead and over the living. It is only a peal of bells, and we have heard them thousand times, and nobody thinks of them; but yet all this, and a great deal more is in them.-William F. Stevenson

HARLAN SOCIETY
 IN OPEN SESSION

The twenty-sixth annual open ses- sion of the Harlan Literary Society of Hendrix College was held Saturday night in the college auditorium before large audience The program was one of the most interesting ever rem dered on similar occasion in this city,
 The debate, which was the feature of the program, was won by the nega- tive side, represented by Carter Jen- kins and M c. Bevins. Mr. Jenkins also won the individual debater's honors.
 In representing the affirmative side of the question, which was, Resolved, That Constitutional Convention Should be Called for the Purpose of Framing New Constitution for the State of Arkansas Messrs. H. A. Stroup and A. c. Ellis argued that the constitution needs a revision; that the people of today are better prepared to frame constitution than those of 1864; that the constitution of Arkan- sas is antiquated; that the constitu- tion can be revised by a convention better and with less expense than by amendments; that as only three amendments can be added during a single term of the legislature, it would consume a long time before any ma terial changes could be made in the present constitution; and that the cost of framing the constitution would be too great by any other method than by a special convention.
 The representatives of the negative presented the following points: That the present constitution fills the need of the people of today and can be made so as to suit those of tomorrow; that the present constitution was adopted by men who were thoroughly prepar- ed; that no change in the present con- stitution is asked except by politi- clans who would expect to be bene- fited by a change; that the present constitution provides a large and lib- eral means of amending itself, and that if a convention were called those who would compose it would be of an inferior type to those who framed the present constitution; that the cost of calling special convention would be tremendous and inadvisable.
 The debaters argued their side of the question in a logical manner and showed that they had studied the sub- ject carefully.
 The judges were: Prof. R. E. Wom- ack of the State Normal, Prof. J. I. McClurkin of Hendrix College and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Silas w Rogers of this city.
