ARKANSAS HAS INNOVATION.
Dr. Olive Wilson Appointed Health
 Officer at ParagOuld.

Little Rock, April il.-Though it took some head scratching and deep thinking before it was accomplish ed, Mayor H. Nj. Jackson of Para gould was Thursday afternoon ad- vised by Governor Futrell, al the advice of Attorney General Moose, to appoint Dr. Olive Johnson, NJ. D., as health officer of that city.
 The last legislature, in its health bill, provided for the appointment of a health officer for every town and city in the state. The bill spe- cified that the health officer might be male or female, black or white. The constitution states that only qualified electors may be elected or appointed to office. Attorneys Gen eral Moose decided that the health officer was not contemplated under the constitution, and he volunteered to take the legal responsibility of the appointment of Dr. Olive Will son. Acting Governor Futrell then telegraphed Mayor Jackson to proceed with the appointment, and ParagOuld will have the first wom- an official in Arkansas.

ASK MODIFICATION
 OF SUGAR TARIFF
Representative of Louisiana and Colorado Urge President to Bring About Less Stringent Bill
 Want It Discretionary.

Washington, April 1l.-President Wilson was urged today to agree to modification in the tariff schedule on sugar to make it discretionary with the executive at the end of three years whether sugar should be free.
 Former Governor Ava Adams of Colorado told the president that while the inudstry in his state could stand a reduction to one cent a pound, as now provided in the tar iii, the knowledge that sugar would be free at the end of three years would have a depressing effect on business during that period
 Robert Ewing, Democratic nation al committeeman from Louisiana, discussed the question with the president and took the same posi- ton as former Governor Adams. He went away with the impression that the president was carefully consld- ering that feature of the bill.
 House Democrats were prepared today for the first sharp fight over the tariff bill when the sugar schedule came up in caucus. The Democrats met behind closed doors again today with the iron and steel tariff under consideration, but with the prospect that the sugar fight would break before the end of the day.
 Representative Underwood and his associates, who are supporting the presidents plan of a 25 per cent reduction in the sugar with free sugar in 1916. have shown no dis position to evade the sugar issue in the caucus. The Democratic lead CTS expected to carry the sugar tar iff proposal through the caucus without change.
 Study of the tariff bill continued at the Senate side, where Democrats of the finance committee have called in experts to help them an- alyze the House bill. The work now being done by the committee will shorten the time of tariff revision in the Senate, it is claimed, as the committee will be prepared to act soon after the House passes the bill. It is said the Senate finance committee is ready to report Presi- dent Wilson's attitude on free wool and one cent a pound on sugar for three years, then free, in considera- ton of concessions on minor mat tprS

FRIEDMANN CURE IN ARKANSAS
Patient at Tuberculosis Sanitarium
 Shows Great Improvement.

Little Rock, April 1l.-Eastern physicians may place little faith in the tuberculosis cure of Dr. Fried mann, but in this they do not agree with the physicians of the Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Dr. Bos- worth, head of the institution, went to New York some weeks ago to study the methods of Dr. Fried mann. He was not successful in getting very far into the secrets of the alleged cure, but he did per- suade Dr. Friedmann to Vaccinate a patient from the Arkansas institu- ton who accompanied him to New York. The patient has increased in weight and strength every day since his return, and though both lungs were badly affected, and the physi- clans thought the test too severe, it Is believed he will recover.
 The decision of the army physi- clans IS being awaited with much eagerness al the sanitarium, as a bountlful supply of the serum has been promised in case the decision IS favorable one.

FORMER POLICE JUDGE
 ATTACKS EDITOR WEBB

Little Rock, April il.-W. NJ. Tweedy, recently impeached and subsequently, defeated for police judge, assaulted J. H. Webb, man. aging editor of the Arkansas Demo- crat, at S:30 o'clock Wednesday evening in front of restaurant on West Capitol avenue, near Main street. Mr. Webb says he was walking along the street and did not know that TWeedy was in the vi- cinity, until he rushed upon him and struck him squarely in the face, knocking him down. As he lay upon the sidewalk Tweedy kicked him viciously about the head and on the arm, bruising him con- siderably. Bystanders then inter- fered and prevented further harm being done either of the comba- tants.
 Tweedy at once went to the of flee of Constable Dutch" Jones and gave himself up, furnishing bond for his appearance in Justice Meis- ner's court Friday morning to an swer a charge of aggravated assault. He admitted that he made the at tack on Mr. Webb, saying it was due to the attacks that had been made upon him, editorially, in the Democrat. MT Webb was charged with carrying a pistol, and his case was postponed until p. m. Monday.

 You kissed me. my head dropped low on your breast .s.3.. With a feeling of shelter ana lhhiii'e While the holy emotions
 My tongue dared not speak Flashed up in a name s.,-
 From my heart to my cheek. Your arms held me fast.
 Oh, your arms were so bolu. Heart beat against heart
 In their passionate told. Your glances seemed drawing
 My soul through my eyes As the sun draws the mist
 From the seas to the skies. Your lips clung to mine:
 Till | prayed in my bliss, They might never unclaSp
 From the rapturous KISS You kissed me. My heart and my breath and my will, In delicious joy for moment stood Life had for me then
 No temptations, no charms, No visions ot happiness
 Outside of your arms. And were 1 this instant
 An angel possessed
 Of the place and the joy
 That are given the blest, l would tear from my forehead UnrepentiuEly down
 To nestle once more
 On that haven of rest, Your lips upon mine,
 My head on your breast,  You kissed me, my soul in a bliss SC divine, Reeled and swooned like a drunken man, foolish with wine. And l thought it were delicious To die there if death Would but come while my lips
 Were yet moist with your breath If I might grow cold
 While your arms clasped me Round in their passionate fold And these are the questions ask day and night:
 Must lips taste no more Of such exquisite delight? Would you care if your breast Were my shelter as then?
 And if you were here Would you kiss me again?

THE RAIN Is FALLING ON THY
 GRAVE.

In Memoriam Friend of my youth, so true and brave, The rain is falling on thy grave; It breaks from heaven and drops in
 tears
 Der her we loved in former years. The dear old Red flows on it's way Close by thy lowly house of clay; The pine trees sigh above thy head, And sing a requiem round thy bed. The winds take up the sad refrain, wen never See our friend again. While echoes from the distant shore Ner cease to whisper "Nevermore. Flowers that blossomed meath thy
 care,
 Now langush in the wintry air; They'll soon return to mother earth, Like her whose love first gave them
 birth.
 Thy light feet, once so swift to bound, To dutys call or pleasures round, Now tread the paths of earth no more, But wander on the golden shore. Thy children call. and call in vain. Since thou can'st never heed again; While he who won thy virgin soul, Is desolate beyond control. We look to heaven, we trust in God, And try to bear the chastning rod; But oh, 'tis hard to be strong and
 brave,
 When the rain is falling on thy grave.

CAPPS SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Appeal to Supreme Court Will De-
 lay Execution. However.

Ft. Smith, April 9.-Friday, May 30, is the day set for the execution of Marion Capps.
 Judge Hon passed the death sen tence upon him this morning in Cir cult court Gapps received the fla tai sentence with the same indiffer- ence that has characterized his con- duet. since his incarceration.
 When he was asked if he had anything to say why the death sen tence should not be pronounced, Capps replied:
 Yes; am not guilty of the crime charged to me"
 The defendants counsel will take the case to the Supreme court, and the supersedas will prevent the sen tence being carried out.
 Capps was miner and preacher living at White Bluff, a settlement about equally distant beeween Be- nanZa and Jenny Lind. On the night of December r, 1912, his house burned and two of his children were burned to death in their beds and three escaped, but one received in juries which resulted in his death later The boy and girl who sur viVed stated they had been bound in their beds and that their father had saturated the beds with oil, set fire to them and fastened the door of the room so they could not get out, Capps has always claimed the fire was an accident, due to the overturning of a lamp that was kept burning in the children's room.

TRY THIS METHOD.
How to SkiIlfulIy and Neatly Mend
Fine Table Linen.

Fine Table Linen.
Plain damaSkS may be darned. but if
the damask is one of the pattern
weaves a patch can be made more in
visible than darn. The patch should
be either an old napkin or piece of
damask that has had some wear and if
at all possible match the pattern.
To apply the patch cut away all the
worn parts and shape the hole into a
square or Oblong; then cut the patch so
it will exactly fit the hole and use fine
drawing stitches, which should also be
very close.
The drawing stitch is so called be-
cause the two edges, that of the patch
and material. are drawn together and
held in place by it. 1t can best be de-
scribed as a fine stitch in the material.
These stitches should be vertical, and
as they alternate you can readily see
how they would draw the patch and
material together and hold them in
place. If the slanting drawing stitch is
easier it can be used, but for a patch of
this sort the vertical stitch would be
best
Unless the quality of the linen is very
fine and close a few darning stitches
should be used when inserting the
patch before beginning the drawing
stitch.

Or Is It Curiosity?

Just why should call on the tele-
phone be deemed important enough to
break up the average personal CONVEX
sation? Most men will cut talk in
two on getting a telephone summons
and will turn at once to the instru-
ment instead of telling a clerk to have
the telephone caller wait or to call up
later. Is there something hypnotic in
the ring of a telephone, or is it the
glad certainty that the one who uses
the wire will be brief, while the per-
sonal caller may talk on forever?-Den-
