STATE FAIR IN DOUBT
Failing tO Receive Aid From State. Directors May Decide to Aban-
 don the Enterprise.

Hot Springs, April 4.-Whether Hot Springs will have another state fair depends on the result of the meeting of the directors of this as sociation, which has been called for the Business Mems League tomor- row night. President Harry NJ. Wes- cott telephoned the league that he would arrange his business affairs so as to preside
 Since the last general assembly declined to give the State Fair As sOciatiOn assistance, there have been various rumors that Hot Springs would not attempt to hold another fair, preferring to allow it to go to some of the other cities in Arkan- sas, namely Little Rock, Ft. Smith and Pine Bluff, which have evil denced a desire to hold a state fair
 It is believed however, owing to the great success of the last big state show, that another effort will be made.

 In the opinion of Dr. R. E. Caste law, superintendent of the Gen eral Hospital, persons can be fright ened into an epidemic.
 "The main thing is to keep a level head, said the doctor this morning. "A great deal of damage can be done by saying there is an epidemic when there is none. There is absolutely nothing to this menin- gitis scare. Right here in Kansas City we have a disease that is more fatal, yet persons pay no atten- ton to it. Physicians have report ed 65 cases of pneumonia, out of which there have been 50 deaths. Yet l do not consider that an cpl demic in a city of this size.

 George agreed conditionally. (The Major wasn't very original in his views.) He would have shed his last drop of blood for his native land, but he was honest in acknowledging her faults.
 Conversation idled fin various chan nels, and finally became anchored at jewels. Here the Major was at home, and he loved emeralds above all oth- CT stones. He proved to be an engag- ing old fellow, had circled the globe three or four times, and had had an adventure or two worth recounting. And when he incidentally mentioned his niece, George wanted to shake his hand.

He would find some way ana he vowed to best his old enemy dli1dence, if it was the last fight he ever put up. He would maneuver to get Tn the way of the Major. He never lound much trouble in talking to men. Once he exchanged word or two Wlth the uncle or guardian, he would make 1t point to renew the acouaint- ance when he saw the two together It appeared to him as a bright idea. and he was rather proud of it. Even now he was conscious of clenching his teeth strongly. It's an old saving that ne goes farthest who shuts his teeth longest. He was going to test the pre- cept by immediate practice.
 He had stood before the list fu1lv three minutes. Now he turned about lace, singular elation tingling his plood. Once he set his mind upon a thing, he went forward. He had lost many pleasurable things in life be- cause he had doubted and faltered. not because he had reached out to- ward them and had then drawn hack lie was going to meet Fortune Ched- soye; when or how were but details. And as he discovered the Major him. self idling before the booth of the East Indian merchant, he saw in fancy the portcullis rise and the drawbridge fall to the castle of entertainment. He strolled over leisurely and pretended to be interested in the case containing mediocre jewels.
 This is a genuine Bokhara em- broidery?" the Major was inquiring.
 "Oh, yes, sir"
 How old?"
 The merchant picked up the tag and squinted at it. "It is between two and three hundred years old, sir"
 To Georges opinion the gods them selves could not have arranged a more propitious moment.
 You've made a mistake" he inter- posed quietly. That is Bokhara, but the stitch is purely modern"
 The dark eyes of the Indian flashed. "The gentleman is an authority?" sar- castically.
 Upon that style of embroidery, ab- solutely." George smiled. And then, without more ado, he went on to ex- plain the difference between the an- tique and the modern. You have one good piece of old Bokhara, but it isn't rare. Twenty pounds would be a good price for it."
 The Major laughed heartily. And just this moment he asked a hundred for it. I'm not much of a hand in judging these things. I admire them, but have no intimate knowledge re- garding their worth. Nothing tonight"

ITS A MISTAKE
Made by Many Mena Residents.

mduG ny hdilN MCIid hCSIuCIltS.
 Many people Tn a misguided ef- fort to get rid of kidney backache, rely on plasters, linimentS and oth- CT makeshifts. The right treat ment is kidney treatment, and a remarkably recommended kidney medicine is Doan's Kidney Pills. Mena is no exception.
 The proof is at your very door. The following is an experience typical of the work of Doan's Kid ney Pills in Mena:
 Mrs. c. Hicks, Riene and Honert streets, Mena, Ark, says:
 II can strongly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for as far as my experience with this remedy went, it was very satisfactory. It did not take Doan's Kidney Pills long to entirely relieve me of kid ney complaint, and many of my friends and acquaintances have al so received great benefit from this preparation. It was through their recommendation that 1 was led to take Doan's Kidney Pills and now endorse them myself"
