FIRST TO WIN RECOGNITION
the Coveted Praise of Europe Was Washington Irving.

The first American author to win general recognition of his genius iu Great Britain was Washington Irving. who died in his seventy-seventh year at Sunnyside. N r. The immortal humorist, historian and essayist was born in New York, the son of a native of Scotland He was educated for the law, but his tastes were all in the direction of literature, and his legal career was a brief and almost brief less one. At eighteen he wrote Let ters of Johnathan Oldstyle," which were published in the New York Morning Chronicle. newspaper owned by his elder brother, Dr. Peter Irving. He was only twenty-five when he wrote the celebrated History Of New York. by Diedrich Knickerbock- CT" From 1915 until 1892 Irving re- sided in England. where his genius was fully recognized. Later he re- turned to Europe as United States minister to Spain, and spent several years in Madrid. In the opinion of both American and English critics, Irving has few equals for grace of style and purity and elegance of dic- tion and his works seem destined to take their place among the great clas- sics of the English language.

COONS MAKE PLAYFUL PETS
Maine Man Has Two Which He Has Famed and Trained. and They
 Act Like Kittens.

Wild raccoons that are found in the Maine woods are like children in a great many ways. They can be trained to do things. though they are born under different influences.
 Adolph Gilblair of Skowhegan, Me, has two pet coons which he has trained and cares for daily. He got these coons from farmer about four months ago. and they are now as play ful as kittens and will frolic with each other, rolling over and over like two little dogs, and they do not show any savage or wild disposition. They are let out into the dooryard and will run about, and when tired will stretch out on the doorstep in the sun.
 They are very keen to danger and if dog approaches they will climb to the top of an apple tree. They are kept in yard of their own in nighs time and they have a large hollow log that they can go into They curl up together like two kittens and sleep.

FRIEND WORTH THE KEEPING
European Merchant Showed Ills Ap- preciatior of Newspaper in Sub
 stantiai Manner.

Nothing pleases newspaper more than letters of appreciation from its readers. The most hardened old edi- tor will flush up and tears of joy will fill his cynical eyes when Veteran Subscriber or Constant Reader writes in to say that yesterday s smashing attack was the best ever.
 Here in America letters of apprecia- ton are all that any editor can hope for. Abroad, however. it is different. French editors are frequently reward ed for good articles by presents of roses. gold fountain pens. baskets of fruit, and so forth.
 But nowhere in the world does there exist such Maecenas of the press as good old Mir Bimbo. the leading pork dealer of central Europe
 MT. Bimbo lives in Budapest, and a year ago the Budapest Egyetertes pub lished an interview with him, which stated 80 accurately all his political views that he sent forthwith to the editorial room a whole hand cart of hams, sausages, blood buildings and other choice pork products. -
 Since then, incredible as 1t seems. Mir. Bimbo has kept it's ed::ors fully supplied with pork meat.
 But man cannot live by meat alone. and a month or so ago the Egyetertes went into liquidation: AS !ae editors; in mournful conference composed an editorial farewell for their final issue MT Bimbo was announced. He had heard the sad news. and now, taking in the situation, he took out his check book. and with one stroke of the pen set the Egyetertes on it's feet again

OUR WORK FOR l9Ii.

In another column of the Log Cabin Democrat today appears a brief sum- mary of the accomplishments of 1913, to which citizens of Conway can point with pardonable pride. While the city has been on no boom, the achievements are really remarkable and the year, taken all in all, is probably the best in our history. Besides the material improvements in Conway, 1913 has been a prosperous year for the entire country The cotton crop is the larg- est ever produced and the price re- ceived for it has been at least an av- |erage. Farmers, laborers, merchants and professional men as whole are doubtless in better financial condition than ever before in the history of Faulkner county.
 With these conditions there is no reason why we should not set to work at the beginning of the New Year to secure our most urgent material need, which everyone will concede is improved highways. The place to make the start is in Conway, where the need is the greatest and where the work can be performed with least burden to the people. If the end of 1914 shall find permanent macadam streets leading to the city limits to all the main country roads, it will be a matter of only short time until the property-owners and citizens along these roads will take up the work and carry the work of making permanent roads far out into the county.
 A citizenship which has attracted the admiration of the entire state by it's generous contributions to colleges, schools and churches-which has successfully overcome apparently in surmountable difficulties in the install lation of various public improve ments, certainly will not balk at the comparatively simple and small prop osition of building few miles of per manent streets.

Right to Accept Reward.

The right of public officer to ac- cept a reward was involved In the case of Hartley vs. Inhabitants of Granville. before the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts, in which the court ruled that while ordinary peace officers cannot collect additional com pensation for services rendered In per formance of their regular duties, yet a contract made to pay an officer for services rendered outside and not in- consistent with his duties is valid. The court holds that constable who ferreted out offenders, relying on a re- ward offered by the town, may recover, because detective duties are not with In the scope of constable's official obligation.

 Dr. T. c. Watson returned the past week from Kansas City. While gone he purchased and brought home with him thoroughbred horse about four years old, of which the doctor is very proud Dr. Watson was in two rail- road wrecks while gone, but escaped injury.

Lesson for Humanity.

A vanished frog dies, not because bodily poisons accumulate in its skin. but because of overheating When the air It breathes becomes warmer than 3S degrees Centigrade, Dr. Vittorio Puntoni of the University of Bologna reports that the frog must use it's pores e radiate the extra heat. The Lancet, discussing his findings. remarks that disease germs were discovered to make short work of the vanished ba- trachians, already weakened by swell tering. The conclusions of Doctor Puntoni have a practical interest in their relation to the deleterious effects of moist, warm climates and the use of improper clothing. which act by disturbing the cutaneous function.

Napoleon as a Scientist.

Napoleon Bonaparte was an active member of the French Academy of Sciences was elected a member in 1797. His appreciation of the impor- tance of scientific research is illus trated by the number of eminent scientists he took with him on his ex- petition to Egypt, where he organized the Institute of Egypt in Cairo and proposed to establish an observatory. His illustrated report of his investi- gations on the antiquities of Egypt was the first step in Egyptian arch eology, leading to the brilliant labors of Champolion. Mariette and Mospero and the dominance of the French school in Egypt. even under British control.

He was smoking a fine, full-favored Havana when he met his friend.
 Have a cigar?" he Inquired. very politely.
 Thanks said the other, gratefully, taking and lighting the proffered weed.

Author's Queer Costume.

One of Robert Louis Stevenson's 8 contemporaries describes the author: His hair was smooth and parted in the middle and fell below the collar of his coat; he wore black flannel shirt, with curious knitted tie twisted in a knot; had Wellington boots, rather tight, dark trousers, a pea jacket and a white sombrero hat. But the most as- founding item of all his costume was a lady's sealskin cape, which he wore about his shoulders, fastened at the neck by a fancy brooch. which also held together a bunch of half a dozen daffodils. I think these final touches to his toilet must have been added by loving hands without his knowledge or consent"

BABY LANGUAGE MADE STUDY
Declaration by Expert Win Mako Him Unpopular With the Fond
 Mother.

Baby language Is the latest study The child first uses its voice. says an expert, to express hunger. temper and feelings of pleasure. Noises alone suffice for such expression. Then the baby utilizes its voice as a plaything, and afterward as a recognized mode of expression.
 Trilling of lips takes place only at teething time. Gradually there is less variety of sounds. as the child learrs definite associations with definite sounds. Some little people can hum tunes perfectly. yet are too young to pronounce the accompanying words.
 On the other hand, they are often credited with words they never say. Mum" Is an instinctive sound, not an intentional call. Doubtless fond moth CTS will protest, but 8 wise professor laid it down that the child of any na- tionality when in need cries Mum" The mother comes. After 8 time the infant associates Mum with the ar rival of mother and the cessation of distress. Then it expresses the word intelligently, but not before this as- sociation has occurred.
 Definite words, 1t was explained. aps comprehended between the twelfth and fifteenth months Often one word forms the entire vocabulary for long time. Comprehension of words takes place earlier than the power to speak
 There was great difference be- tween boys and girls. The former were slower than the latter

Dishonesty Rare In China.

The Chinese are said to be the most honest people in the world in their business relations. They keep their word whether expressed in writ ing according to printed formula or spoken by the lips, and SO loyal are they to the honor of the family that the son performs the pledges of the father who may have failed from mis- fortunte or death. However hard they may regard the bargain, how ever convenient and truthful might be the plea of failing business these yellow people despise such sophistries and keep their word.
