LITTLE DIFFERENCE.
Widows of Arkansas COnfedcratcs
 Get the Pensions This Year.

Little Rock. Aug. l3.-There will be little difference in the number of Confederate pensioners in Arkan- sas this year, from that of 1912, and the amount to be paid them will be practically the same. Each pen sioner who was allowed Sl00 last year received S12, the taxes paid in being sufficient to pay only that per centage.
 There were S,952 pensioners in 1912, but the number this year is materially decreased, though the deficiency is made up in widows Who are this year allowed pensions. In most instances, where a veteran was reported dead, his widow, was placed on the rolls in his stead.
 The last legislature appropriated s65o000 for the payment of Confed- crate pensions. There has already been collected about S575,O0O, with several counties yet to file their re- ports, There is S300O0 still in the appropriation for last year, which has never been paid out, though there are some warrants standing against it.

 Samuel Badt, merchant, COG Sev- enth st., Mena, Ark, says: "I have not changed my mind regarding Doan's Kidney Pills since | publicly endorsed them some years ago, and 1 never let an opportunity go by to advise their use. Doans Kidney Pills are certainly the best kidney medicine l ever used, and many people to whom I have recommend ed them consider them fine for weak kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of backache that had an moved me for almost two years, and they also restored my kidneys to a normal condition"

"WhO?"
 Iothers. besides myself, are af- fected"
 q don't know. Ia llis Go ,;now: No one cGa live O himself ov herself. No one can say. My fault or Iolly hurts me alone In this miserable old world of ours, we are all tangled up in one anothers destinies. And when one tears loose the cord that binds Him, the vibration of that wrench will soon or late reach and affect people whom he perhaps does not eveH know"
 "The cord you speak of" sha mocked, lis that holy bond known as Conventionality, isn't 1t? The bugbear that the weak and the prim have raised to scare the strong and the courageous"
 No. The beaten path that ten bill. lion failures and tragedies since the birth of Time have shown to be the only safe one. Conventionality' path may seem to the nearsighted to be twisted foolishly, and unnecessarily long. But each of those twists repre-. sents the place where the Man in Front wisely stepped aside to avoid the pitfall into which the man ahead of him had tumbled And the short cuts in the long tortuous road are white with the bones of failures" !"
 I'm going to walk over those same whitened bones in my short cut from one point of Conventionality's twisted path to another. I'm going to walk back from a union that would mean misery to me-back to the pleasant home life and social life 1 love and don't mean to lose. Don't worry. No whitened bones will turn under me and bring me fall. 1 can defy the bogy, Conventionality. and still live happy"
 Others have defied the bogy. You are not the first nor the mlllionth. To most of them it seemed as safe as it seems to you"
 Yes? I should like to meet them and compare notes."
 You will not meet them," he an- swered grimly, but you will tread on their bones-in the short cut Even as some future challenger of Conven- tionality shall one day tread on yours"

DYNAMTING THE FISH.
Loss to the State of Game Fish Be

Little Rock, Aug. il.-The loss to the state in game fish, due to the legislature failing to pass a game warden act, is now being keenly felt all over Arkansas, according to re- ports which are coming from the good fishing sections.
 Dynamite is being used in large quantities on Cache and other riv- CTS of Eastern Arkansas, where people fish-or murder fish-for market Commissioner of Agricul- ture John H. Page recently returned from a fishing Trip on the Cache, and states that he could hear the explosions of dynamite all about his camp, but was not able to see any one using the explosive.
 The argument was used in the last legislature that a game warden was unnecessary for the peace of ticers are sufficiently numerous to enforce the laws for the protection of game, but this is not borne out by reports from East Arkansas.

The Predicament of a SulTragist.

A WeIl-knOWn university proteS- sor who has taken much interest in the WOman's suffrage movement, was persuaded to carry banner in a parade that was held in New York some months ago.
 His wife observed him marching with a deierted air and carrying his banner so that it hung limly on it's standard. and later she reproVed him for not making better ap- pearance.

Hands.

Hands were once used tO hold up people in trees, and babies. Now they are used 10 hold cigarettes and throw bombs.
 The hand in all ages has been a useful instrument. Athletes em- ploy if to walk upon in circuses. and when a small boy has been placed at a convenient angle across the knee, the hand has performed valuable patriotic service. Even now burglars use hands to help keep the wolf away from the door.
 Hands are employed also in ora tory and courtship, and at recep- tions. Although considered Valu- able, they are still frequently given away by misguided young women, who know no better than 10 fall in love.
 Hands are also used on farms and in battles. Without them states men could not bring on wars. nor magnates sign checks.-Life.

at the time escaped with a few bruises
 The private car of Mrs. G. F. Board man of New York, the rear car of the train, remained on the rails.
 The fact that the accident had oc- cured did not become known to many of the passengers until some time after the train had been brought to a stand still.
 The train left New York at s:e1 last night, half an hour in advance of the regular State of Maine Express. The regular train was notified of the wreck and proceeded to the Granitevi11e sta tion by way of Nashua, N. H. The passengers from the wrecked train were transferred to the express which proceeded after an hours delay.
 The Nderailed train, designated by railroad officials as an extra" was running on the regular time Of the Bar Harbor Express, which ordinarily is not put in operation until June g. As the traffic to Mount Desert began earlier than usual this year, the spe- cia1 was put in service.
