The freckling, discoloring Of rough

Of the wax at any druggists, There's
no more effective way of banishing

Little skin particles come off each
day, so the process doesn't even tenn

dear to all Irish hearts, or at least to

dy was undoubtedly a mighty fine man,
but our records Of him are rather un.
certain and unreliable. He was a

and, from all accounts, all he lacked of
being an Irishman, was that he was
not born in the little Emerald Isle, for
he had all the symptoms, just when
he invaded Ireland is uncertain, the
historians fixing the date all the way
from A. D. 1863 to $40. However, it
doesn't make any special difference
now just what the year was, for it
was so long ago, anyway, that even
the wise old encyclopedia guys can 7
get up courage to quarrel about it. At
any rate, the good old saint was there,
and the fact that every loyal Irishman
has n warm spot in his heart for the
brave old saint, shows that he was
there with both feet, and made such an
impression on the race that his memory
is as dear after the lapse Of at least
1850 years as was his presence at the
time. So today not only Irishmen, but
all the English.speaking people wear

Proverbs of St. Patrick.

Followers Of Christ should not be
SO swift in judgment until they know
how true it may be which is written,
"Do not desire quickly to be Judge"
Those in authority in the church
ought not to have worldly wisdom
but divine examples before them, for
1t does not become the servants Of
God to be crafty or cunning
Judges of the church ought to judge
just judgments, for with whatever
judgment they shall judge 1t shall be
Judged to them,
Judges of the church ought not to
respect a person in judgment, "for
there is no respect Of persons with
God"

HOOKING FOR FARM
 FOR WHITE CONNECTS
Penitentiary Commissioners Recriy- ing Offers From All Parts of the State-DO Not Want "WOrn-
 Out" handsome Criticism

Little Rock, Oct 2 lSpeciaU.- Offers of farms of all classes arc being received by the Board of Penitentiary Commissioners, and those offered are in all parts of the state. The bids will be opened by the board in it's monthly meeting Saturday, but the contract for a farm will not be entered into before the first of December or the first of the year.
 The commissioners are requiring the people who have a body of land of the size wanted by the state for working white convicts, to limit themselves to soil that has not been worn out. The commissioners de- sire land that can be put right into cultivation when it is cleared, de- claring that it would take too long to build the land up to the standard required by the state.
 Most of the farms offered are along the Iron Mountain railroad either directly north and south of Little Rock, or on the Pine Bluff and Ft. Smith branches.
 Already there is heard some un- | favorable comment on the proposed purchase of a farm upon which tf work the white convicts, but it is nothing like that which followed the purchase of the present state farm, which has turned out to be one of the best investments the state ever made.
 The new farm will be used mainly for the cultivation of cotton, with slight rotation of corn sufficient to keep up the land.

THIRTY WAR VESSELS
 ON 4 FOREIGN TRIP
Fleet Includes Ten BattleshipS and Twenty DestrOyers, and Will Be Distributed Among Foreign Ports
 Each Vessel to One Port.

Hampton Roads. Ocl 21-Thirty American Warships, including ten battleships and about twenty de- stroyers starled on a cruise to the Mediterranean. The destroyers will stop at the Azores for fuel. The battleships and destroyers will be distributed among the French and Italian ports on the Mediter- ranean sea- The flagship Wyoming will go to Malta. The other battle ships and destroyers will go to Mar seilles, Nice Genoa, Naples and probably one or two other ports.
 Secretary Daniels has decided that each vessel shall call at only one port. This is done so that the officers and men will be able to pass as much time ashore as possible. The itinerary provides stay of about twenty days in the foreign port to which each vessel is as signed. The fleet will mobilize about the early part of December, the vessels returning to their home ports for the holidays.

Little Rock. Oct. 2 Special ,-- No formal application has been made to Governor Hays for the communication for the sentence of Arthur Hodges, the young white man who is under sentence of death in the electric chair at the state penitentiary on November 12, Sev- eral informal letters and petitions from individuals have been re- ceived at the executive office, and there has been a great deal of news paper publicity about it, but aside from that nothing has been done Penitentiary officials report that Hodges has been rather obstreper- ous of late, but that he is quieting down. One of the latest proceed ings with reference to his case IS the adoption of resolutions by Ce- dar Camp No. 99, w. o. w., of Amity. that Governor Hays shall not interfere with the sentence of the court.

BRITISH HANDS OFF NOW.
John Bull Won't Act in Mexico
 Without Asking Uncle Sam.

Washington, Oct 28-Reports from the British foreign office that Great Britain would do nothing in the Mexican situation, now that the election had been held i'll the southern republic, without consul tation with the United States, aroused interest in official circles here, and added strength to the per sistent intimations that the Ameri- can government plans note to the powers which may result in a concerted Mexican policy for the future.
 Secretary Bryan, when shown dispatches from London asserted that Great Britain's recognition of Provisional President Huetra was given to extend only until the elec- tions, and stated that such had been the understanding here all the time.
 When asked if a note was in preparation which would open the way for negotiations with the for eign powers, he said no statement UT llIlllldJlbilo dlbhS Iiiib illi' NVN'' be given at this time.
 Some officials suggested yester- day that the position of Great Brit ain, with respect to recognition of the Huerta government in case the election for president is declared void would be binding as it now exists.
 Secretary Bryan plans to consult with PresidentsWilson on the sub ject as soon as the latter returns from Mobile. The presidents speeches of the last few days with reference to his Latin-American policy, together with his comments on the British press generally fla vorable to the American attitude in Mexico, gave rise to expectations of important developments before many days.
 Secretary Bryan said the depart ment had heard nothing of the re- port that the German government had dispatched other warships to Mexican waters.

Little Rock, Oct. 2 (SpeciaD. - Last week Chief Justice E. A, Me Culloch received a letter in Spanish from Pedro Diaz Colodrero, Buenos Aires, Argentina. He could not read it. and there were no linguistS on Capitol Hill able to tell him what it was about. One of the questions was:
 Que actos especificos debe pro ducir la Supreme Corte para ganar autoridad moral en el puebloY
 The letter was referred to George B. Rose, who speaks and writes half dozen languages, and he found, upon translation, that the writer wanted to know:
 What course of conduct should chief justice who has been re- gently initiated into his functions observe in order to gain the con- fldence of the people and moral authority over inferior judges and over the lawyers of his bar?
 What specific acts and decrees should be performed and rendered by the Supreme court in order to gain moral authority over the peo- pie?

Washington, Oct. 27.-On the face of inc meager returns from the Nexican elections, and apparent ln- dicattons that a president had not boen chosen. officials in Washington todav based justification for the noliry of this government in declar- ing in advance to recognize the elections as legal and fair.
 Although nothing official had oome lo the authorities here, the nreyaiing opinion was that Huerta ,yolld retain his authority and that new congress would proclaim the election void. Definite announcement from the unpr,a government of the election onlrome is not looked for here for several days. A few dispatches were received by Secretary Bryan from Mexico City. They contained mo detailed information as to the

Little Rock, Oct 28 (SpeciaQ.- The Blue Sky department of the state government proposes to safe guard the interests of the investor in every way possible. Yesterday an Arizona mining company in which Arkansas promoters are in terested applied for permission to solicit business in Arkansas. It was stated that the company proposed to pay commission of 30 per cent to it's agents. Capt. J. J. Beavers, in charge of the department, refused to grant the company license, hold ing that this commission would be excessive. and would be an unwar- ranted diversion of the funds of the subscribers. He says the com pany makes a good financial show ing. but he cannot sanction such a heavy commission. Ordinarily 25 per cent is considered a maximum, while t5 per cent is more nearly the desirable average that should be allowed solicitors.

Attorney General Warns Druggists
 Against Large Sales.

Topeka, Kas., Oct. 26.-The sale of Jamaica ginger in quantities, which might indicate that the drug was to be used as beverage, Will subject Kansas druggists to prose cution under the prohibitory law That was the ruling of John S' Dawson, attorney general, yester- day. There have been too many ginger jags in Kansas lately, he says.
 Jamaica ginger contains S5 per cent alcohol" said the attorney gen. eral. The ordinary dose is thirty drops. The ordinary purchaser oi the drug would not buy more than an ounce or two of it to be used for ordinary medical purposes. Any druggist that sells this drug in large quantities to individuals al frequent intervals must take care to know just what it is being used for, or he may find himself in jail as a jointist for violating the pro- hibitory law"
