u. S. Grant Ii Hero in Romance

GU. S. Grant and America Will, his
fiancee).
Los Angeles, July "a pretty lit
tie romance will eliminate within the
next two weeks in the marriage of
Mrs. America Will, of this city, and
Ulysses S. Grant, Jr, son and name
sake OF the former president of the
United States. Although he has pass
ed his 61st birthday Mr. Grant is en-
joying robust health and he asserts he
is just in the prime of life. Mrs. Will
is thirtyJlree. The couple met two
years ago on Pullman car of a West
ward bound train. Both were in
mourning for their recently deceased
first mates. The two met as fellow
passengers do, and their friendship
grew. Soon after Mr.. Grant arrived
at his home in San Diego he wrote to
Mrs. Will, who has settled at the home
OF her mother, here. He later visited
the beautiful widow at her home. AS
his visits became more regular there
were rumors among friends of the
couple of an engagement Mrs. Will
has verified the report with Mr..
Grants sanction. They will enjoy
their honeymoon in Europe

REMEMBER THE DUMB ANIMAL

The Louisville Courier-Journal
speaks for the horse and other dumb
animals who suffer during the hot
weather. 1t says:
Horses suffer from the heat more
than men, for most men are more
careful of their own comfort than
they are of the we'll being of the
horses they drive. The horse labors
at disadvantage. Sensible drivers
can discover the mute signs of dis
tress, but all drivers are not sensi-
BILE. The horse, like man, has his
limitations. The humane owner will
see that he is not Overdiven; that he
is properly fed and watered at suit
able intervals; that he is protected as
much as possible from the torrid
heat; that his harness is rightly ad-
justed and not allowed to cut into his
flesh; that his feet are wei shod-in
and the consideration that he deserves
as faithful servant of mankind.
Dogs and other domestic animals
often suffer for lack of water. Prob
ably this is one of the reasons for
the popular belief that hydrophobia
is more prevalent in midsummer. Any
dog which gives evidence of distress
or eccentricty is more than likely
to be shot for mad dog. A man
cannot tamely endure the fortunes of
thirst and no more can an animal"

that eczema is positively skin dis

the effect is marvellous and it's results

THERE Is CLASS TO FUTRELL.

Acting Governor F'ltre1i continues
to win plaudits in administering the
affairs of the state government. The
longer he remains in the governors
office more thoroughly does he en-
dear. himself to the good people of
Arkansas, for his every act has been
one prompted by a conscientious
desire to do the right thing and do it
right AID he has succeeded admirably
in everything he has undertaken.
He has demonstrated time and again
that he is a man of ability andedeep
thought and that his methods are for
the best interests of the state and it's
people. He has shown beyond ques-
ton that he has resourceful brain
and that his gray matter is of the
right sort. ';s
Governor Futrells latest wise de-
cision is to improve conditions at the
state convict farm. He has not adj
vocated betterment in it's affairs

sentiment that might result in future
political reward, but he has outlined
a sensible, effective plan for parole
system, plan which If put into eff
feet, will doubtless result in the re-
formation OF many unfortunates who
are subjected to the shame OF con
vict stripes. He expressed himself as
being strongly opposed to the in
human treatment OF convicts on the
state farm. He says the nature,
character and habits of state con-
Wet should be looked into and his
previous life given consideration in
The matter of parole. He believes that
there is good ir man; that the heart
of even convict can be appealed to
in preference, sometimes, to the head
Governor Futrell, after giving the
subject much thought, advocates a
personal reward for men who slave
for the state on the convict farm.
Either the colyicts or their families
should be the beneficiaries of their
own labor. He admits that he at
one time opposed such system, but
that he is now thoroughly convinced
of it's value. One thing it will have
tendency to do, says the Governor,
prisoner to the state and will make
him take an interest in his work"
Governor Futrell believes in giving
even a man that is down his just
deserts. He is investigating the case
of an unfortunate negro convict, who
was sentenced to II years for crime
that usually justifies much less and
who has already served ten years in
the state prison. He may grant this
man a pardon, although he has been
turning down application after appli-
cation since he took the governors
chair. He believes that this unfor-
tunate negro has had no chance to
get fair hearing of the charge
against him, since his conviction, and
that for lack of funds he has been
compelled to slave for years for a
petty offease.
Arkansas is just now blessed with
! pretty level headed chief executive.
Governor Futrell has no press agent.

for one. Actions speak louder than
words.

Keokuk. Ia.--Could you blame a
woman who has been sick for years
with kidney trouble and nervousness
and had tried all the doctors and
some who seemed to be pretty good
ones at that but none had done her
very much good? Today she feels
like a new woman. This is what she
says:
