The total number of protests flleo with the Bridge Commission against the assessments levied for the Free Bridge is far from being the great ma. iority claimed to be against the pulio- ing of the bridge by the Taxpayers Association officials. It looks as II those who were foolish enough to be- Tieve most anything told them about '.confiscation' are coming to their senses and can see no merit to the anti-Bridge argument.

DRAINAGE ACT
 IS REPEALED Senator Miles Wins His Fight Against Drainage
 District Bill. VOTE WAS 20 TO 13
Corrupt Practices Act is Defeated iI the HOuse-Funny Incidents
 i'm the Senate.

Little Rock, Feb 13.-While the zee ords for the Thursday session of the Senate will not show such volume of business as the preceding day, the members of the body put in some more overtime and removed from the cal endar another vexatious bill, repeal ing the act of 1907, creating the Fourche Drainage District.
 The most of the morning had been spent in passing bills introduced the day before and made special order for Thursday consideration, when Senator Miles arose and called up his bill re- pealing the act returned by the Judic- iary committee without recommends ton. This followed a series of fire works which continued until after 4. o'clock in the afternoon, Senator Miles of Pulaski, making the principal speech for the repeal of the act, while his colleague. Senator Jacobson, was the chief opponent of the bill.
 This bill was as strongly agitated on tho floor and in the Hobbies as tho St. Francis levee district bills, and practically every member of the Sen- ate took a whack at it one way or the other before the roll was finally called. The district was created to drain large tract of land adjoining 1 Little Rock, and contracts let, besides much work done on the district The property owners in that section ob- iected to the assessments, more than to the work, which all agreed was for the good of the city.
 Several amusing things took place in the debate. When it came time for Senator Miles to close the debate, Senator Clerge asked to make a few remarks. Though he had but thirty minutes, Senator Miles yielded ten l minutes of the time to the Senator from Conway, excepting him to favor the repeal of the measure, but Senator Clergit took up sixteen minutes in arguing in favor of the district as it stands. In the closing argument of Senator Miles, he remarked the assess ment on one piece of property was so great it would force the widow who owned it out of possession. He was asked the name of the widow and could not give it. but from the crowd about the aisles, a Mrs. Fletcher rose and stated sne was the woman, and proceeded to give her views upon the assessments in the district.
 The vote stood 20 to 13 in favor of repeating the act.
 Senator Oldham introduced road district act for Lonoke county allow ing it to take the place of one already introduced.
 Senator Martin next introduced a resolution asking that the joint if nance committee be requested to re- turn the deficiency bill which makes appropriation to pay salaries for de- partment clerks who have worked on after Governor Donaghey vetoed ap- propriations for their salaries two years ago. This resulted in an argu- ment which lasted until ) o'clock adjournment, the finance committee keeping the bill.

beautiful stenographer.
Yes" replied the head of the estab-

left yesterday for Europe"
"Oh Mr. Burlington, I'm $3.50 sur
prised to hear you say so. You
see, didn't know she was expecting
to go"
"She made up her mind rather sud-
denly. Her health has been very bad
lately, and the doctor thought a sea
voyage might benefit her"
II hope it will-that is, l suppose
you will be very anxious about her"
Il hardly expect the sea voyage to
do her much good. I'm afraid she
put it off too long. If she never
comes back l want you"
The telephone bell rang Just then
and Mr. Burlington engaged in CONVEX
sation over the wire.
When he had hung up the receiver
he turned to the beautiful stenog-
rapher and seemed to be trying to
remember what he had been saying
when he had been interrupted.
You said" she suggested that
If your wife never came back you
wanted me-"
20, yes; If she never comes back
want you to remind me every three
months that l am to send a check
to her mother. I'm so blamed forget
full about such things"
AS she was going out the beautiful
stenographer drew a deep sigh and
looked sadly over her shoulder. Then
she went to the desk of the young
assistant secretary and whispered:
Il have been thinking over what
you spoke to me night before last"
And what do you say?" he asked,
taking advantage Of a chance to
squeeze two of her fingers.

GREATER COLLEGE OF
AGRICULTURE WANTED
More Buildings Are Greatly
Desired

Athens, Ga, Jan. pa greater
Georgia College of Agriculture to
meet the great and pressing demands,
is the message of the Georgia Horti-
cultural society, the Georgia Dairy and
Live Stock association and the Geor-
gia Breeders association in their an
nual conventions assembled.
President Soule has outlined the
needs of the college which must be
met, or else hundreds of young Geor-
gians will be denied the opportunity
of obtaining an agricultural education
at this state institution. All told the
state has contributed inly 100000 to-
wards buildings for agricultural edu-
cation, while it has contributed to no
other educational institution as little;
this, too, in the face of the fact that
agriculture is the chief industry of
the state. DR.. Soule says there must
be another building worth at least
100000; at least $4,000 to establish
new departments and enlarge the
teaching force, and that there must be
$4,000 additional for extension work
to carry on farm demonstration, boys
corn club and girls canning cluo
work, for soil surveying, for live stock
breeding centers, for cooperative work
with rural schools and poultry husban-
dry.
If these appropriations are made by
the state, then the federal government
and other agencies will add $4,000.

80 w stop to think of the heroic
lives of the monks of St. Bern
r. ard, of the men who assist
them or of the dogs who CO.
operate with them in the SNOWY
and frozen wastes of the Simpion pass
in the Alps.
The rescue force consists of II
monks and Is assistants who under
take the work for the sake of human
ity. The men must be strong of limb
and lung and robust in every way to
stand the life. Even with perfect
physical endowment most Of them
break down In their twelfth year of
service A few last fifteen years and
then death follows No member has
lasted more than twenty years. The
constant exposure and attendant hard
ships are too much for human endur-
ance AS the monks live 5000 feet
above the sea level the cold is intense
and the breathing of such a rarif1ed
air Injuries the health and hastens the
end They live near the region Of
perpetual snow, for the winter lasts
nine months of the year and even in
July snowstorms occur which bother
greatly the tourists who make the
passage of the steep road to the
monastery in large numbers.
When Brlgands Assaied Them.
The hospice was founded 94S years
ago by a nobleman, Bernard de Men
thehn, for the benefit of pilgrims trav-
cling to Rome For a long time after
the monks were installed they were
harassed by the brigands who infest-
ed the surrounding mountains. Some
times the demands of these vaga-
bonds were refused and then the
thwarted would go away after threat
ening vengeance. Soon a squad Of %
or 30 of these pirates of the noun
tains would appear, but they found
barricaded doors and windows impos-
sible to pass and the monks lived in
state of siege until fierce storms
drove the brigands away
Napoleon in leading his army of
10000 across the Alps, in 1900, headed
for Italy, used the hospice as a bar
racks for his weary, frost-bitten SOL
diers. At st. Pierre, the last village
on the Swiss side, are shown the
small table and the armchair used
at breakfast by Napoleon before start
ing for Italy.
The monastery is a plain. unpreten-
tious block of gray buildings with
thick walls to withstand the terrific
| gales and snowstorms The snow is

long and none too good road. Mules
have to haul the food and other sup
plies for many miles each day. Two
meals are served-one at IL m. and
one at p. m. Every nation is repre-
sented In the crowds at the tables.
The monks mingle freely with the
diners and make them feel at home.
Two pianos presented by King Ed
ward of England are played in the
evening after dinner to make the
hours pass pleasantly. More than
10000 persons cross the pass every
year and more than two-thirds of the
number make the journey during the
winter. The majority are laborers. on
their way to work, who cannot wait
for more favorable weather, and 1t
speaks volumes for the vigilance of
the monks that life is very rarely
lost now. The monastery is con-
nected by telephone with stations on
both sides Of the pass and whenever
travellers start to make the ascent
the number is teiephoned to the
monks so that they can look out for
! them and send rescue parties to their
aid If they fail to put in an appear
ance.
The Wonderful Dogs.
Everyone has heard the wonderful
| stories of the sagacity of the St. Bern
ard dogs At the top of the pass is
monument in memory Of one who
saved 40 lives during the 10 years of
Sta existence. On one occasion 1t dis.
covered in the snow a child whose
mother had been killed by an ava
lanche After rousing it by licking
| its face, the dog induced 1t to get on
its back and brought it safe and
sound to the hospice. Unfortunately
| this dog was killed several years ago
| by some unknown person. probably in
| error. The inscription on the monu-
ment runs: Barry the Heroic. Saved
the lives of 40 persons and was killed
| by the 41st."
| In the early part of the last century
one of these splendid animals was
| decorated with a medal for having
rescued % people from a snowy
grave, but lost his own life while on
an errand of mercy in the winter of
1915. A courier from Piedmont, after
sheltering for time at the monastery
one night during a severe snowstorm,
insisted on continuing his journey to
the village of st. Pierre. as he expect
ed to meet some friends there. The
monks, after trying in vain to dis
suade him, lent him the dog and two
guides to show him the way, but
when the party had proceeded some
distance in safety down the mountain
they were overwhelmed by an ava
lanche and killed
Some Of the dogs stand more than
80 inches high and weigh about $50
pounds. They are extremely powerful
and have been known to drag an I'M
conscious man over the snow for
three-quarters of a mile. Their sense
of smell is so highly developed that
they can tetect a human being even
when he is covered by several feet
of snow.
