 TILE ROCK.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Special dis patches from Little Rock, telling of the unexpected death of United States Senator Jeff Davis, shocked members of the senate and house yesterday. His sudden death was the more sur prising in view of his usual health, and his appearance when he left Washington for Arkansas about a week before the holidays.
 | Both senate and house adjourned after being in session a few minutes out of respect to the memory of Sen ator Davis.
 Immediately upon converting of the senate and house yesterday, the an- nouncement of the death of Senator Davis was conveyed to the two legis- latiye bodies by Senator James P. Clarke of Arkansas, and Representa- tive R. Bruce lLacou of the First ,iis- tric3 of Arkansas, respectively.
 Arrangements were made lulriedly by both the senate and house, locking to the naming of committees to attend the funeral Sunday
 The senate committee is composed of Senators Clarke of Arkansas, Bry- an of Florida, Ashurst of Arizona, Maritime of New Jersey, Curtis of Kansas, Clapp of Minnesota, O'Gor- man of New York and Pomerene of 1 Ohio. Speaker Clark named the fol- lowing house committee to attend the funeral:
 Representative Robinson, Goodwin, Macon, Cravens, Floyd, Oldfield and Jacoway of Arkansas; Cullop of h. diana, Davenport of Oklahoma, Nel- son of Wisconsin, Miller of Minneso- ta, Greene of Vermont, Reese of Kan sas and Kinkaid of Nebraska. A special car for the congressional party was attached to the Pennsylva- nia railroad limited, which left Wash ington at 6:45 last night for Little Rock. The car was in charge of Thos w. Keller, deputy sergeanst at arms of the senate, and Jerry South of Ar kansas, chief clerk of the house of representatives. Others accompanying the congressional party were: Harry w. Stewart, private secretary to Sen ator Davis; Ross Williams, secretary to Representative Robinson; Garrett Whiteside, secretary to Representative Cravens, and Charles Davis, secretary to Representative Jacoway.

SMALL GIRL CUTS
 TONGUE ON AXE
FOUR-Y SUSIE SINGLE TON MAY SUFFER PERMA-
 NEWT INJURY.

Little Rock, Jan. 4.-Susie Single ton, a four-year-old white child, living at 3003 Arch street, was the victim at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon of one of the most peculiar accidents ever heard of in Arkansas medical circles, if not in the whole United States. The occurrence was made the more sad because of the fact that her father, who is a railroad man, lay dangerously i'll within 'ne home.
 The little one was playing with an axe, of the size usually used to chop wood. In some unaccountable manner she slipped and fell. In falling she stuck out her tongue and the sharp point of the axe nearly severed it in the middle.
 Dr. Verne Stover attended the little one and said the accident was the most peculiar he ever had heard of He said the tongue showed that the child had not bitten it, but that the sharp axe cut through it midway be- tween the tip and base.
 Dr. Stover sewed the tongue to- gether and has hopes the child may be able to talk, but said the child's speech . may be hindered for life.

Mrs w. M Harrell entertained with a progressive domino party at her home on Prince street yesterday af- ternoon, in honor of Mrs. Leo Schwarz of Little Rock. The hand some home was gaily decorated in hol-
 day colors, red and green, and south ern smilaX, crimson carnations and crimson po:nsettas were effectively used, making the interior beautiful setting for the many handsomely gowned guests gathered round the ta- bles.

What Becomes of Old Clothes?


Black cloth clothes purchased by
secondhand dealers, provided they are
too far gone to be revived" are sent
to France, Russia, and Poland to be
made into caps, which the working
people of these countries wear. The
CASTOR red coats of the British SOL
diers almost all go to Holland, for in
that damp country the people have
notion that red cloth keeps off rheu-
matism; therefore, all careful Dutch
men of the laboring classes wear red
cloth waistcoats next their skin.
These are made by cutting off the
sleeves of the British soldiers red
coats and altering the shape little.
The snowy uniforms of the guards
and the fulldress liveries Of the lord
mayors footmen and the royal SER
wants come into the hands of the old
clothes dealers, and go chiefly to the
south coast of Africa, where they are
sold to the native chiefs.
Travellers are sometimes amused at
being received in full state by
swarthy chief on his throne dressed
out in footman's livery or a rifieman's
uniform.-Northern Weekly Gazette.

The Basement

''Nels, my friend" said the janitor
more than his usual blandness, "Nels,
my friend, would you do me the favor
to bring me them there old shoes
that's a-standing behind the door?
Thank you kindly. I'm much obliged
to you, Nels. You're an accommodate
Ing sort of guy, you are, and I've
been a-noticing 1t. And now since
you're here, maybe you'll pull off these
here boots of mine for me. They're
hurting my feet considerable"
The janitor leaned back in his
chair and his assistant, backing up to
him, straddled the extended leg and
STOPPING, gripped the heel of boot
that was well plastered with recent
mud. The janitor placed his other
foot against that part of his assist
ants person that was nearest and
pushed firmly but gently.

other one, if it amt troubling you too

The operation was repeated, but
this time the janitor applied so much
force to his part of 1t that the assist
ant was propelled violently forward on
his hands and knees, from which pos
ture he arose with a red face, mutter-
ing words in a strange tongue.
Holy smoke!" calculated the jan
itor, with an appearance of extreme
irritation. What was you a-trying to
do? Throw somersaults? Say, didn't
you know that boot was a-going to
come off, or did you think you was
hitched up to load of coal on an
upgrade? Its a pity you didn't run
your thick head into the wall. You've
got lots of sense, you have. Skinned
your knuckles, have you? I'm glad Of
it. Maybe it'll learn you something.

Papier-Mache Automobiles.

PAPER mache seemingly is about to
enter upon a new field of usefulness.
An English chemist comes forward
with this suggestion: why not en-
ploy PAPER mache in the manufacture
OF automobile bodies? The framework
Of the body, for instance, might be
built up of netting and ligt steel braces
with the papier mache firmly pressed
into the interstices of the netting. Such
a body would be lighter than steel
body, less expensive to build than an
aluminium one and stronge enough.
Incidentally, PAPER mache Is capa-
BILE Of being highly finished, and it is
quite probable that enamel would show
less tendency to chip or flake off it
than when metal is used"

PUT UNDER CONTRIBUTION
Cleveland Lawyers Left "Holdins tho

His Departure.

A pathetic looking tramp hobbled
into lawyers Office in the downtown
district few weeks ago, relates the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. When his
turn came to be interviewed he said
that he wanted to sue man for heavy
damages. He had been run down by a
motor car; his shoulder was dismeat-
ed, his clothes torn, his ankle sprained
severely. He had been knocked into
the gutter and the driver of the car
had put on full speed without trying
to ascertain the condition of the vic
tim. The latter had taken the number
of the car, however, and he said he
could produce witnesses. 1t was good
case, and the lawyer agreed to take it:

Almost Deserved to Escape.

Probably the diplomatic way of
stating things is a gift. For example
consider seven-year-old Edward. It
was the last week Of school and the
day of a much talked of spelling con-

hustling out again, having some heavy
playing to do. Hey! Come back
