Senator Tillman quotes scripture to
this effect, apropos of the Office seekers
THE wild asses of the desert are athirst
and hungry. They have broken into the
green corn" Maybe it reads that way,
but the senator should remember how
good the green corn must look to any
%critter that has dwelt for twenty years
in the desert. Don't blame them; blame
the other bunch of critters who have
hogged the corn patch so long.

Some Of the policemen, perhaps all of
them, were rough, coarse men whose at
titude was facetiOus,' and whose words
were not as facetious perhaps as the po-
licemen hoped they were. 1t is queer
how different a joke sounds sometimes
when retold by ahe jokee. Meanwhile
we learned that the people who really
policctl the sutffragette parade were the
women themselves.

Buys Valuable Pearl.

J. L. Evans this morning bought a 45-grain pearl which was found in the White river yesterday, and has it on display at his store. It is a very perfect and pretty gem. Mir. Evans de- clines to give the name of the man from whom he purchased or the amount he paid.
 This is the first good find ot the present season, but not near all the pearl hunters have become active yet, because many who will join them later are still busy in their crops.-Bates' vile Guard.

Only One License Required of
 Auto Dealers.
Special to Independent.

OpeClal to InO0penQenI
 Little Rock, July l2.-Several counties in which the sheriffs have become quite active in the enforcement of the automobile tax collections especially Pulas- Xii county, will miss considerable through the strict enforcement of the law. When these sher- ifs started out to make the col lections they thought the auto mobile salenen would be a regu- lar harvest, being required to pay the state tax on every car owned by them. Instead, the dealer pays only on one car. He may have copies of this license tag made, and place one on each car used for demonstration pur- poses. Otherwise the dealers would have to pay several thous- and dollars annually into the treasury, that is, if they had any business.

Arkansas Guard Not Short.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 12.-Maior E. E. Jett, disbursing officer of the Arkansas National Guard, and Captain Sloan. the regular Army officer detailed for duty with the Arkansas Guard, leave for Washington Saturday night to meet officials of the War De- partment, with a hope of con- vincing them that the Guard is not short the supplies or the cash charged against it. They will remain in Washington only a few days, but one day is all they think necessary to con- vince the officials that the Ark ansas Guard has been more sin ned against than shining.
 \ may not be able to make a complete showing on the rec ords now have" stated Major Jett Saturday, "but will wager my hat to an old doughnut that 1 will leave Washington with things so well along that the De- partment will give a clearance after they have received others l will send in on my return. We are having to leave in such haste that 1 have not been able to get records of certain supplies that I desire, but I can send these in when I come home."
 The Department alleges the Guard is short S54,OOO, but an error of $13,000 has been dis covered by clerks there, which will be credited to the Guard. Secretary of War Garrison of fers to wipe off the balance if the shortage can be reduced to S15,000. With the application of a $15,000 balance the Guard has in keeping of the War De- partment, this leaves but a shortage of $11,0OO to be ac- counted for. Major Jett says he can account for over S3O,OOO. which will leave the Guard with cash on hand at the end of the investigation.

 Judge Harrod has been very prominent in legal affairs of Ar kansas for many years. He was one of the most active of the States attorneys in the recent rate litigation, and was slated to become United States District Attorney for the Eastern Dis trict of Arkansas. He was a class mate of President Wood row Wilson, and was the per- sonal selection of the President for this place.

James P. Coffin.

James P. Coffin Of Batesville,
 a former Lawrence county citi-
 zen, was a Walnut Ridge visitor
 Monday. Mir. Coffin was county
 clerk for a number of years in Lawrence county and was the
 first cashier of the Lawrence County Bank. While talking to the architect of this column he recited the following joke per
 pertrated by the late Ike Bag ley on his friend, the late w. M. Ponder. It seems that at one time Col. Ponder conceived the
 idea of raising big lot of mules and purchased & big lot Of Tex
 as mare ponies for this purpose.
 He kept them in the Cache river bottoms, but the enterprise was
 not a success. First one thing
 happened then another. Finally the remnant of pony mares made their escape and there a feeling of relief came over their
 owner. About this time the
 Ponder gin burned and Bagley met Col. Ponder and told him
 how he sympathized with him in his bad luck. The Col. said :: "Well, it is not so bad, l have had the gin for great many years and it has well paid for
 itself.'' q don't mean. that, :" said Bagley, T was syn1pathiz- ing with you because somebody found your Texas ponies and have just brought them home" Walnut Ridge Blade.

However, it is not a question of service that is to be foremost in our thoughts today. Not not that, but as this Flesh and Blood life is so uncertain and Death so near, making it obliga- tory for each of Us to pass out of this life into one of which we say in the Creed so often, 'He des- cended into He'll let us in view of these things, think of the Cos pei of Hades, or Our Life After Death. Let us do so that we may find out what we can from the Word of God about the !
 in the Unseen World. Therv :. vast deal to be said about it, but it is impossible to do more at present than pick up a few l Grains of gold here and there. The world is full of people who say, "We do not know anything about the Life in the G"eat Be yond. This is true, if we admit the Bible cannot be relied upon. However, 1 take 1t as a matter of course that l do not speak to minds of that type. Be that as it may, let us get an answer to the question. "What does it mean, when we say in the Creed, "He descended into Hell?" Does ] it mean Our Lord Christ went into the Place of Everlasting Punishment, be it a place of Fire or what not? Then it must be said, it does not, for the word "HelP' means the Place of De- parted Spirits, or the State be- tween this Earth-Life and Heaven.
 The Jews believed in such Place, and so could understand what Our Lords words to the Penitent thief meant, To-day shalt thou be with Me in Para disc" Now this is true since Paradise" does not mean Hea- ven, but the Place of departed Spirits, as we can see from the words of the Apostle, St. Peter. Now St. Peter was beyond ques- tion aJew and shows in his Epis- tie what the Jewish belief was,in regard to Life in the Paradise World. He does this in this very Epistle where he writes ''that after His death Christ went and preached to the Spirits in prison, which sometimes were disobedient." It is evi- dent, therefore, the Judg- ment Day had not come for those Spirits" for if it had, why should Our Lord have gone

 "OUR LIFE AFTER DEATH. 7"
 Text l Peter, 3: Is and 19:
 Christ f * # being put to death in the flesh, butquickened by the Spirit, by which also He went and preached unto the spir- its in prison.'
 This old Cchurch of ours, hav- ing the Apostles or Nicene Creed reclted at every service, presents the Life of Our Divine Master in a wonderful order. This is true since that Life of all Lives is presented in a wonderful way from Advent to Trinity. For this, we may well thank God and yet, it needs to be remem- bred Our Lord Christ has not given us this knowledge of His life and death, simply that we might know something, but that we might Do and Be something. It is only as the Knowledge of the Creed or Bible reacts upon our Daily Living that they can have the least chance to do us any good. In other words, Knowledge is not power, until it is applied. You may know that water will put out fire, but what good can it do you, if you do not pour the one on the other, when your house is in flames /? None at all. And so it is about the Gospel truths. It is not enough to have a knowledge of them, for it is only as that knowledge is applied that we can either Do or Be that which leading the Christian life implies. Too many are all their lives through prone to forget that each Article the Christian Faith carries with it a Moral Significance or Mean ing that can not end in having had the first Theatre of it's ac- tion in the Person of Christ Je- sus, Our Lord. In other words, the Moral Significance of the Creeds is that they must be made part and parcel of our Dali ly lives. That Christ be born in them: that Christ be raised in them; that Christ ascend, not into Heaven, but to the Throne of our hearts. so that He may sweeten and gladden. and fill them with unselfsh service.
