|WhiskeyBill
 Passes House

little Rock, Jan. 10. - The uouse of Representatives pre- sonted an interesting scene to- dav when the Senate bill affect ino the liquor interests of the State came up for final passage. The galleries were filled and almost all the available standing room on the floor was occupied hy interested men and several women.
 The bill wise heads" say, means Statewide prohibition af- ter December 31, 1913, when it is to become operative. It was in troduced in the Senate by 19 Senator's and shot through that body to the house, where it fin ally passed amid cheering, yes, terday by a vote of 73 to 21. The message is now up to the
 governor for his approval. He is in Washington and not expect ed to return until after Wednes- day.
 Itis not thought that acting Governor Oldham will take up the bill unless Governor Robin son does not return before the five day limit" allowed the exc. cutive for passing on a bill. The measure forces prospec- tive saloonist to obtain the ap- |proval of majority of the white |adcIts" in given community to a saloon, and bars negroes from signing.
 The constitutionality of the measure will probably be tested. The Pulaski delegation split the vote, MesSrs Martin and Webster voting for the bill and MessrS. Ludwig and Kidder |against it.

DRUGGIST GIVES

D0dsOn's Liver Tone Gets Four Square Gurantee from hesterly
 Drug Store

When an article is sold a drug gist who is willing to give it his personal guarantee, it's mighty strong proof of real merit
 That's exactly the case with Dodson's Liver Tone. It is a pleasant tasting, vegetable reme- dy for a slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson'S Liver Tone came on the market the sale of calomel has gone way down. The req son is simply this; Dodson's Lii. yer Tone is safe and harmless and guaranteed to be satisfactory -Calomel is often uncertain, sometimes dangerous, and no druggist wants to guarantee that it won't knock you out of a days work and maybe send you to bed.
 Hesterly Drug Store sells Dod- sons Liver Tone and guarantees it. For you and your children, it's a good thing to keep bottle always in the house.
 Hesterly Drug Store will give you your money back if you think Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth the price. Keep your liver working and your liver will not keep you. from working,' is good advice to go by. Advt.

THE Upton CHALLENGE.

\ good many people are poking not
IA little fun at the New York Yacht
club because of the predicament in
which it is held the club would be
placed if Sir Thomas Upton should
come over to race for the Americas
cup with'a IS foo boat. The situation
is somewhat peculiar. The deed of
silverware the prize for which so many
races have been sailed, provides that
boats anywhere from 65 to 90 feet
should be eligible to race for the prize.
Sir Thomas holds that 1t was the in
tent that the challenger should have
the right in each case to decide wha,
length Of boat should be used. This
right is denied by the New York Yacht
club and that club. being in possess
sion. is the court of last resort. and
from its decision there is no appeal.
The club maintains its right to sail
any kind Of vessel within the prescrib-
ed limits, and denies the application
of Sir Thomas for a race with IS foot
boats. There the matter rests just
now. But a lot Of people are wonder
ing if perhaps the gallant 1rishman
will not come over after the cut With
a IS foot sloop, anyway. leaving 1t I o
the New York club TO do as it pleases
about the size of boat it will use. 1t
appears that under the rules there is
no time allowance in the nature of Il
handicap against the boat of greater
size. hence if the challenger were to
come v c as suggested it would be
for the challenged to meet him with
a boat of similar size to his own and
sail a race on equal terms, or to sail
a big o against a little one. which
would be like putting a thoroughbred
in a race against a pony and would
make a joke Of the whole affair. 1t is
believed that the esteemed directors
of the New York Yacht club will pass
several anxious hours until they find
out just what their rival across the
seas intends to do.

soldier and a stanch patriot.
He had his fair share of disputes
with the civil authorities. of course.
but he had no severe trials to bear
until the obvious unpreparcdness of
the army at the outbreak of the Boer
war was attributed to him. lie had
then reached the age Of retirement,
however, and the mistakes OF that war
were hardly held against him. Be-
cause of his strict discipline and his

Some years ago. when ! was Il lit

three men to a place where gold was
said to he lying loose on the ground.
The place was known as Three Jumps.
SO named from that fact that the chap
who first found the pay dirt went
down a hill in three leaps"
We were together in shack
one evening just about sunset. We
had finished III grub and were sinok-
inE. In the door appeared a figure
yellow hair uncovered. a pack over
his back, dust and alkali owe the re-
mainder.
GOOD evening, gentlemen a low
voice said.
When We had recovered from the
shock of being greeted as gentlemen
We asked him in. He came i'll. calmly
arranged his goods around the place
and made himself at home.
He proved to he a simple minded
chap who had popped III from the
east n it wasn't five minutes before
Stetson. the joker of the crowd. had
him on the run. We had a lot OF
fun with him that night. but he rath-
er turned the joke on US before he
was through.

enough he prepared his 'bide a wee
with us and rolled up in Stetson's
bunk.
"Stetson was stumpcd for once. He
stood in the middle Of the place and
stared at the chap in his bunk. but
the newcomer had dropped of to
sleep. Stetson was about to chuck
him outdoors, but Williams. a kind
hearted chap. interposed and gave UP
his bunk to Stetson.
1T was decided definitely. however,
that after the chap had had a good
nights rest he was to 'vamoose.' We
didn't have enough room in the shack
ANYWAY. Williams almost had to sleep
with his feet out of the window.
We figured with ease but 1t didn't
work out SO easily. 1t didn't seem to
appear to the stranger that We didn',
want him. We thought we were rid OF
him in the morning. but after he had
staked out a claim that wouldn't yield

came back to us-to stay. 'Stet' quot.

Our first thought was We were
about to get rid of him and we jump

he started of.
