This is the easiest kind of Welsh rarepit

mind 1t is improved by the addition of
tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and
half teaspoon of celery salt have recipe
which also calls for teaspoon of lemon
juice.
No one can warrant rarebit against
stringing unless eggs are added. one or
two of these, beaten light and stirred in at
the last moment, will keep the cheese from
becoming ropy.

There is something touching in the idea
of the interest of a bedridden child in the
pennants that speak of school and college
with their outdoor interests and vigorous
activities. Will not some of our girl or
boy readers try to put themselves in the
little invalid's place and spare some Of the
adornments which will bring a breath of

COURT AFFIRMS
 ISENYARD CASE
Judgment Given Against the Natural Gas Company Holds Good Says
 Supreme Court.

The Pine Bluff Natural Gas Com pany must pay Mrs. Mildred Senyard, wife of Roy Senyard, the sum of $2,- 800 as damages for injuries which she sustained when a buggy in which she was driving some months ago was ov- erturned on Walnut Street by pile of gravel on that thoroughfare, which had been left there by the compnay without warning light.
 This was the verdict rendered yes terday when the Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Jefferson county circuit court. which gave Mrs. Senyard judgment for S2,- 800. She sued for $5,00O. Mrs. Sen yard was represented by Attorney A. H. Powell, while Coleman and Can't, of this city. and Moore, Smith and
