HIS SELF CONTROL
He Proved 1t to His Own but Not Hia
 Family's Satisfaction.


 MT. Brown was excitable by nature, but he often prided himself audibly dpon his self control. One night whilt the family were gathered at the te. table the chimney began to roar Tn. furnace draft had been opened and foi gotten. Straightway a panic ensued. Don't lose your heads-keep cool" cried Mir. Brown. Its nothing ser, ous"
 He dashed up the stairs, discovered that the metal cap over the only uu used stovepipe hole was already N,d hot, and dashed down again faster shan he went up.
 "Keep cool" he gasped as he passed through the room where the family had gathered in nervous apprehension "I'll be back in q minute" He was back in less than that time, having observed that the flames were spouting several feet high from the chimney and that shower of sparks was falling upon the roof.
 "Wh-where's the stepladder" he panted. M
 He was gone before any one could answer the question and presently was heard believing from the roof of the wood shed. He presented heroic figure in the glare of the blazing chim- ney.
 live got one end of the hose," he called. "Some one attach the other end and4 turn on the water-quick"
 Two long minutes passed. i "Why doesn't some one do as I or dered?" he thundered. Do you want the place to burn up"
 i've can't, Henry" called Mrs. Brown tremblingly. "You haven't Got the hose. You've got the COW rope. IL was hanging next to the hose in the shed, and anyway the roof is covered with ice, and l don't think tbere's any great danger outside. You'd better go and watch the chimney from the in. side"
 A half hour later the family were again at the tea table. -
 ''If this had happened in some homes." remarked Mr. Brown, ''the family would have lost their heads completely and sent in an alarm Self control is an excellent thing and far from common"
 Indeed, it is." agreed Mrs. Brown emphatically.-Youth's Companion.

FREAKS OF NATURE

 looks as though she wanted to hang you with her dangling ropes or impale you on her thorns or engulf you in her ranks of gigantic ferns. Her mood is never as placid and sane as in the north There is tree in the Hawaiian woods that suggests tree gone mad. It Is called the hau tree. It lies down, squirms and wriggles all over the ground like a wounded snake. It gets up and then takes to earth again. Now 1t wants to be a vine; now 1t wants to be tree. It throws somersaults. it makes itself into loops and rings. it rolls, it reaches, 1t doubles upon itself Altogether it is the craziest vegetable growth ever saw. had never seen or heard of before-a waterfall reversed. going up instead of down. It suggested Stockton's story of negative gravity. A small brook comes down off the mountain and at tempts to make the leap down a high but the winds catch it and carry it straight up in the air like smoke. It is translated: it becomes a mere wrath lowering above the bee tling crag. Night and day this goes on, the wind snatching from the noun tains in this summary way the water 1t has brought them."

BARNUM AND BAILEY
 CIRCUS IS COMING
WILL STRETCH TENTS IN THIS CITY ON SEPTEMBER 19, FIRST
 TIME IN g12 YEARS,
Haganbeck's Big Animal Show Is Also Coming to Pine Bluff
 This Month.

The kids of Pine Bluff are happy. Barnum and Baily's circus is coming to town. The big circus, which has not been seen in Pine Bluff for F years will play this city on Friday, September 19.
 Haganbeck's big animal show will also play Pine Bluff this month on or about August 29. Barnum and Bailey will show at Seventeenth avenue and Texas street-near the old Jones Park site.
 R. D. Mcintyre, advance agent for the Barnum and Baily show, spent the past several days in the. city making preliminary arrangements for the consing of the big tented attrac- tion. He arranged with Tom Hill of the Hill Billposting Company, to do the advertising and also looked into the city license matter. The city license for the parade and two per formances is $500. Little Rock charges only $100, the license fee being recently reduced because the tented shows have been giving the capital the go-by in recent years and showing in ArgeIta.
 MT. Hill has also received letter from Agent Harvey, of the Hagan- beck. show. in which he says that if the license is satisfactory here he will play Pine Bluff on August 29.

WHITE SLAVE GIRLS
 TO TESTIFY TODAY
Climax Will Be Reached in the Diggs. Camenetti Case At FricO
 Today


 San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The climax in the trial of Maury I. Diggs, former state architect, who is charged with s. Drew Caminetti with violating the Mann white slave act by transporting Martha Warrington and Lola Norris from Sacramento to Reno, is expected to be reached with the testimony of the two girls early tomorrow, when the trial is resumed before Judge Will liam Van Fleet in the First Division of the United States Court.
 Only two witnesses will precede the girls-Martin Beuley uncle of Miss Warrington, who was active in bring ing Diggs and Camenetti within the cluthes of the law, and Chief of Police Hillhouse, of Reno, who arrested the quartette in their bungalow in Reno.
 Miss Warrington's story of the es- capade will be followed immediately by that of Miss Norris. It is ex- pected that each girl will be on the stand from one to two hours. The prosecution will then conclude it's case, according to present plans.
 The feature of the defense will be the testimony of Diggs in his own 1 behalf. Camenetti will also testify for his comrade. The attorney for the defense intimates that Mrs. Diggs will 1 al foED tho stand in off tn save her husband.

natural tendency to build straight
roads despite heavy grades.
According To the testimony of
farmers consulted" the bureau de-

would have difficulty in pulling 5000
pounds up a steep hill. The size of
the loads, therefore tends to &c meas

of cases actual experiment shows that
the relocating of roads around hills
has been accomplished with no addi-

and with the addition OF, only few
feet 10 the highway in others"
Discrimination of communities and
individuals TO sacrifice rich and fer

the way OF carrying out the proposed
reform. They are seeking to impress
