Poets Memory Lives.

The saying Christmas comes but

 Tusser. . medieval poet (1S24-1580).
 who sosms to have been strong on
 spigrAms. The same idea may have occurred to others, but Tusser gave 1t oppression. He vas caassed a An agricultural poet partly because h. haA not much education and partly beca~ss he treated simple themes. vAAeh he undsrstood in . plain and samoas way. Tuseer had an ear eor music. and served ts order As chos isssr in some churches of his day. Nls first publication was entitled "A Hundred Good Points of Husband y4e,- and later he published "A Hun Ared Good Points of Husbandrte Late ly Married Unto a Hundred Good Points of Housewffery," and still later this was amplihed into Five Hun dred Good Points of Husbandry Unit ed to as Many of Good Housewifery.> Reprints of these boks are still eH tant with an autobiography of the au- thor in verse. Southey, himself critical poet, characterized Tusser as "a good, honest, homely. useful old rhymster." Some of Tusser's phrases have passed into proverbs.

Tho old gentleman wondered vhers tho young couple had got to. for st vas getting late. He rather susDsoe' d they had wandered out into the eArdsn, 70 he wended his steps b that direction.

Savior Of Lives Modest Hero.

Little Rock, July 1O.-A mod est young hero is w. M. Me- cloy, the Argenta man who on the Fourth of July, at the risk of his own life, saved a Benton man from drowning in the Sa- line river near Benton. This was the third person he has saved from drowning and his friends say they will bring the matter to the attention of the Carnegie Hero Commission.
 "There wasn't anything to it," said Mir. McCloy yesterday, when Q Gazette reporter sought to get the young hero to tell the story of the drowning. q just saw the man in the water and there did not seem to be anyone else go- ing to help him. I'm a good swimmer and you know I could not stand still on the bank and see him drown. So I jumped in and pulled him out. That is all there was to it. Anyone would do the same thing"
 Incidentally MT. McCloy, who has been a resident of Argenta for years, changed his base of operations yesterday. Since he was young boy he has been in the employ of E. o. Manees. who conducts dry goods store in Argenta. Yesterday he began l is new duties as city salesman , or the Beal-McDonnell Dry ! oodS Company of Little Rock.

 DAMAGING COTTON
From Thursdays Daily.

MORE HOLFORD BONDS
 BOB UP IN NEW YORK
ISSUED IN RECONSTRUCTION DAYS FOR RAILROAD
 PURPOSES.

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-Again the ghost of the Holford bands arises to scare the taxpayers of Arkansas.
 John B. Manning of No. 2 Wall street, New York, probable holder of some of the bonds which were re- pudiated by the Fishback amendment to the state constitution, has written to Governor Geo. w. Hays, stating that a suit to collect on the bonds will be soon instituted in the United States courts, and will be taken to the United State supreme court.
 The Holford bonds were issued in reconstruction days to the amount of several million dollars for railroad aid. For years efforts were made to collect on them, but finally the state repudiat- ed them, and every year someone bobs up with a bunch of the old paper, found in some chest or closet, and an nounces there will be dire things shap- pening to the state if they are not paid.

cinity will be made accessible to the stores.
 The opening of the new Fair store and the removal of the Drummer Hardware Go. to Oak and Chestnut streets will add much to the south eastern section of the district referred to. The Drummer company are plan ming to put in the handsomest store front in the city, in the unfinished building recently purchased from A.. P. Dollahite, and expect to move from their present location about October l.
 Among other improvements in this district, including the remodeling of Sam Sarason's store and the interior of the building occupied by Wilson Bros, the matter of installing a cen tral steam heating plant for the en- tire block is being seriously consid- cred. It is believed that in addition to having more sanitary and efficient heating system, a considerable saving can be effected by manufacturing the heat for about dozen or more stores at central station.

SAY RAILROAD SHOULD
 BUILD NEW CROSSING

The suggestion has been made by q number of local citizens that the Iron Mountain railroad should install the sidewalk crossing dyer their tracks on the north side of North street, while the company has a gang here doing the concrete work for the new passen- ger station. The crossing Is badly needed, and the city has already con- structed walks leading to right Away on either side.

A BOYS lNCARCERATEO
 IN STATE REFORMATORY

Little Rock, Aug 14.-The State Reform School is now the boarding place of 43 boys, ranging from 10 to 20 years of age, which is the largest number incarcerated there in recent years.
 In former years, when girls were admitted to the institution, the num- Der sometimes ran as high as 100. The placing of delinquents in the school by county judges also added materially to the inmates, but recently number of the cities have established courts for delinquents, with a place to care for them, and this has reduced that expense on the state.
 Superintendent Deaton will proba- bly, ask the next legislature to fix an age limit for the boys sent to the Re- form School, and prevent the taking of children less than 12 years of age. He believes that it is not fair to the boys to be thrown with the older boys, some of whom are already hardened criminals. and their association Is det- rimental to the smaller boy. The lit tie fellows need teaching in way to become good citizens, which is impos- sible with the older boys to lead them in an opposite direction.

GEN. MOOSE'S OPINION
 FAVOR COTTON CONCERN

Little Rock, Aug. 16.-Despite the fact that the Farmers Union is mak- ing a fight on the Southern States Cotton Company, which has been buy ing contracts with Arkansas farmers, agreeing to pay 15 cents per pound for all delivered, the company will continue to do business in Arkansas.
 Ben L. Griffin, representative of the company, states there has been 10000 bales bought in Arkansas al- ready, and many thousand more will yet be purchased. Attorney General Moose has rendered an opinion stat ing the company cannot be kept from doing business under the Blue Sky law, and has complied with the state laws regulating corporations. Griffin states the company made good all con- tracts in Texas last year, after pur- chasing over 1000 bales of cotton when the market only showed 10 cents, and will do the same in Arkan- sas. He intimates that foreign cap- ital is behind the corporation, which is an, Alabama concern. He claims the farmer who sells his cotton to this company, runs no more risk than the one who sells it to a merchant, for it is placed in. bonded ware house until sold.

THE DUDE DOG.

The dog was invented a great many thousand years ago, and grew up in a natural and unspoiled manner until recently.
 Even now most dogs are decent citi- zens. The dude dog, however, is an exception. The dude dog is an unfor- tunate animal who has been civilized by association with man. He consists of one part dog and 99 parts imitation human. He is fed on human food, he has to keep human hours, and, in the most outrageous cases, he has to wear human clothes.
 When a dog gets into family which is so rich that it cannot afford to do anything but loaf, his fate is ex- tremely sad. He sleeps on a silk pill low, eats chicken breast, wears pink pajamas and leather boots and takes his exercise with groom. He IS bathed each day, and sometimes mar celled He is frequently kissed, and his digestion is otherwise insulted. When he feels sick he has a regular doctor and lot is reserved for him in a regular cemetery. Nothing of the original dog is left after few years of this sort of treatment except his bark. and voice culturists are now working on the bark of the dude dog in an attempt to modulate 1t and sweeten it's quality.
 The dude dog costs as much to maintain as 10 poor families. His clothes cost more than human clothes, and his valet gets as much as four de- partment salesladies. This is why the dude dog is becoming one of the great dangers of our government. When his owner loads several hundred dol lars worth of fluffy things on him and takes him walking at the end of sil- yer chain, the father of the little girl who is dying because of the lack of little supposedly free fresh air, and who has to die on one meal day at that. looks at the dude dog unti, his sould explodes within him. Then he goes home to study the science of bomb making.
 The dude dog isn't to blame, and ought to be rescued from his environ ment by the humane society. And ii it should be necessary for the society in the discharge of it's duty to cave in the heads of a few dude dog owners with a feather duster, no one would care very much.-George Fitch in St. Louis Times.
