On life's Road.

All our weariness of suffering is
without avail to leave even a little
memory among those for whom the
work is done. All that is wrought
In despair, all that is loveless and
mechanical, falls to the ground. We
live for even so much as a brief life
only in that which carries the
breath of>our being, the love of our
heart. 1t is not in ceaseless routine
and grinding that we live, nor in
what is small and anxious. Ma
chimes will continue the tale of that
forever. No cog will ever be missed
in that endless chain. But we shall
not wholly die in the song we carry
in our heart, the love with which we
love the being of another, the smile
we give another wavfarer at dusty
noonday.-Collier's Weekly.

When Doas Were Cooks.

'There was time," said the anti
quarian, "when dogs did our roast
ing for us-at least they kept the
meat turning so it would not burn.
Spit dogs they were called, and we
call their descendants 'spitz' to this
day. Spit dogs were trained to turn
the spits on which roasted chickens,
beef, ducks and turkeys. The little
fellows did their work well. They
were never known to let a fowl burn
or to snatch mouthful or two from
it. As late as 1916 spit dogs were
employed in the old Philadelphia
inns on Second and Third streets" "

SEA FIRES IN THE TROPICS.

by P. Walton Harrison in the Sell

"Any one whom business or pleas

can scarcely have failed to note, es-
pecially in the summer time, the
number and brilliancy of what seem
to be glowworms shining under
water. If the traveller has extend
ed his travels further a-sea and has
watched the sea fires within the
tropics-in the Red sea, Arabian
sea, about the Indian coasts or in
midocean-he will have seen sight

tumbles them over, acting toward
them as flint acts toward steel. All

"The wake of the ship is one sea

he is apt to think the language de-

intertropical seas will know that

glory Of the sight which there meets

CLYDE EDWARDS INJURED

Clyde Edwards. formerly of
this place, who has been working
on the west-bound Iron Mountain
local out of Argenta, was severly
injured one day last week while
making a coupling.
The local crew were doing some
work at Atkins, and in attempting
to make a coupling Mr.. Edwards
was caught between two freight
cars and was seriously mashed
about the abdomen and left hip.
He was also bruised internally and
it was feared for some time that
he could not recover. However,
he was taken to St. Vincents Hos
pital at Little Rock where he was
given medical attention, and late
reports indicate that he is improv-
ing nicely.

number of important items, one
of which was the honor conferred

Each annual conference elects
two delegates to the General Con-
ference which is held for the pur-
pose of discussing church problems
methods for reaching a greater
number of people and general
plans for the common good and
uplift of humanity. The General
Conference meets next year in
Oklahoma City, Okla, and Senator
T. 7. Raney of Newark was chos-
en- as one of the delegates from
the White River Conference. 1t is
a high honor worthily bestowed,
and the people of Newark are very
much pleased that such an honor
has been conferred upon citizen
of our town.
