TREASURY FUNDS
 BEARING INTEREST
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
S275,000 DEPOSITED IN TEN ARKANSAS BANKS BY
 STATE BOARD.

time in the history of Arkansas the state is receiving interest on funds carried by the state treasury. A total of $275,000 has been placed on in terest among ten banks of the state, under terms of Act 43O, approved June 1, 1911.
 . The money thus deposited, and the rates of interest paid upon such de- posits, are as follows:
 Bank of Jonesboro, $4O,OOO, at 4 per cent.
 Lawrence County Bank, Walnut Ridge, 19,OO0, at 3 1-2 per cent.
 Union Bank and Trust Co.,, Bats vile, S25,0O0, at 3-4 per cent.
 Mercantile Trust Co.,, Little Rock, S4O,O00, at per cent.
 Hampstead County Bank, at Hope, S25,O00, at 4 per cent.
 Arkansas Trust and Banking Co.,. Ashdown, s25,OO0, at 6 3-6 per cent.
 First National Bank of Huntsville. S15,OOO, at i per cent.
 Marshall Bank, at Marshall, s25,- 900, at 1 1-2 per cent.
 Citizens National Bank, Arkadel- phia, 25,000, at per cent.
 Bank of Rogers, s4O,OOO, at 4.9-16 per cent.
 This makes total of $275,OOO, all of which has been placed on deposit in the various banks with the excep- tion of that allotted to the Huntsville Bank. The bond was only recently approved and the bank was notified that the money is ready for it upon call.
 By the terms of the Act, there may be one depository in each of the 35 Senatorial districts. There were only l5 bids, and there are no depositori- es in 25 counties.
 The money that has thus been placed on deposit is from the State Capitol Fund, with the exception of S25,0O0 from Confederate pension fund, which the board considered might be placed out on interest tenn porarily
 The money is subject to check by the state at any time, and may be withdrawn upon demand. No bank is permitted to handle more than $50 900. nor more than the amount of it's paid up capitol It is also re- quired to give approval bond to the state for two and one-half times the amount deposited, and the state is thereforein the present instances protected by aggregate bonds of S55O.OOO.
 There is still left in the state treas ury in actual money about $700,000 Of this sum about $2OO,0OO is in the state capitol fund, while the rest of 1t is in the school and pension funds, which are being paid out and dimin- .SHeu naiiy
 The Board having control of the state Repositories consist of the treasurer, Attorney General and Governor. The previous board, con- sisting of Gov. Donaghey, Attorney General Norwood and Treasurer Crockett, did not consider that it was good public policy to lend the money under the provisions of the Act, and TO advantage has been taken of it therefore until the present time.
 One of the objectionable features of the act, in the opinion of those who have made study of it, is that che collections of a county where there is depository is required to make his settlement with the depos- itory rather than with the State Treasurer, and the depository is not required to pay over to the state any surplus above the amount allowed by aw until the last day of the month. Under this provision it would be pos sible for some small bank which had

COLOR BLIND NEVER HAUNTED
Professor Explains Phenomenon
Normal Eye Creates Effect Of Ap-
partitions In the Dark.

Are you afraid of the dark! There
isn't chance Of your seeing a ghost
It you are color blind, which may
furnish you ray Of comfort for the
beauties Of landscape and floral deco,
rations you may have missed during
your lifetime. DR.. August hummer,
head of the University Of Breslau, in
Germany, is authority for this.
DR.. hummer explains the phenon-
enon in this way:
THE normal eye has an arrange
ment of tiny rods and cones in the
retina. The rods perceive light and
the cones dark color. When q per-
son with normal eye tries to see
In half dark place the cones, which
are useless, interfere with the effec-
tive action Of the rods. and the con-
fusion creates the effect Of apparitions
that come and 60 and change their
shapes. The color blind person lacks
the cones and his hoods with extraor-
binary efficiency in the dark. The
color blind person sees q clear, per
manent outline Of things a. long a.
there Is the least amount Of light
present. That means that he never
sees ghosts."

NATURE MARKS MANS GRAVE

Poplar Tree.

It 70 seldom perhaps that nature
erects monument to persons mem

, few miles east Of Nashville, Brown
county. Indiana, may be found an OBJ
Jest bearing that distinction.
Moro than Is years. ago q man
named Allcorn became = resident Of
Brown county. and for several years
lived near Salt Greek, In the eastsrn
part Of the county.
While residing here Allcorn met
with IN accident which resulted In
his death. and he was buried In the
cemetery near his home.
The comm was hewed out OF part
OF poplar tree and made into two
sections. A few years later small
sprout began to shoot from the crude
CONN. and not long afterward small
poplar tree began to spread it,
branches over the grave.
Within q few years It had grown
to large proportions. and during the
long period since 1t first appeared
above the ground the tiny poplar
sprout had grown into q tree that
measured several feet in circumfer.
.ence and towers above all others in
the vicinity.
Its branches spread far out In all
directions. and many perhaps who
pass nearby are attracted by the tow.
ertng poplar. though they may be un-
familiar with its history.

Veteran Saves Girls Life on Fifth
Avenue, New York, but Has

Heroism is AZ natural to some men
as cowardice is to others. It is con-
fined to no nationality and Is affected
by neither years, education nor social
degree. The hero never hesitates. He
sees his opportunity, .obeys the i'm.
pulse Of what he believes to be his
duty and cheerfully accepts the con.
sequences. Such q man is James
Graves. Of 80 Hull street, Brooklyn.
who has an enviable war record and
who is more than seventy years Of
age.
Recently Mr.. Graves was driving q
horse along Fifth avenue. New York.
At the intersection Of Twenty-eighth
street he saw girl standing, para
lyIed by fear, in the pathway Of q
horse running madly down Twenty.

death seemed certain and women and

He was unconscious when picked up
and the doctors found his thish wa

THE WOES THAT KILL

One of our exchanges, we think
the Pensacola News, the paper is
| lost and the clipping uncredited, con.
tains the following article which is
well worthy of a perusal:
The Woes That Kiii.-A Pennsyl-
vanian has committed suicide be-
cause his son murdered his wife and
was hanged.
. Seems reason enough for suicide,
dosen't tiff there is any such thing
as reason for suicide?
No more cruel or crushing calamity
can come to any man than his son
turning out to be a murderer and be-
| ing hanged.
There is deepest shame in it as
we'll as the keenest sorrow the heart
can know. 1t is the most irremediable
of all woes. One may live to make
amends for his own crimes or sins,
but none-not even a broken-hearted
father-can make amends for a muir
derer that has been hanged.
But the peculiar thing about this,
as cause of suicide is its great rari-
! ty. Murders are common. Heart-sear-
| ing suffering because of them is com
mon. Yet there can be recalled very
| few instances of victims of this great
est of human calamities resorting to
suicide
Indeed, it is seldom we hear of vic
tins of any really great calamities
seeking relief in suicide
1t is strange how, under the really
great sorrows, we bear up. Strange
how these actually give US new
strength, not only to bear, but to over
come.
1t is the little worries, the petty
woes, that break US down.
We hear of suicide every day, every
hour almost, because of temporary f.
nancial tangle, or lovers quarrel, or
trivial disappointment, or little all
ment.
But Of self destruction, or the
breaking of the spirit, in the face of
really great calamities there are very
[ few instances either in the daily news
or in history.
Men and women innumerable have
borne the greatest Of affections, not
only with serenity, but with increas-
ed strength and sweetness.
1t is of the hopelessly crippled that
the world can learn cheerfulness.
1t is of the hopelessly invalid we
may look for patience.
3 The human spirit, like steel, will
bear enormous pressure and strain,
but it may soon be weakened and
broken by the rust of little worries.

A SOLAR PLExUS BLOW

We hear more or less from time to
, time about the segregation of fallen
women" as one of the means propos-
ed for dealing with the social vices.
Out in Colorado a measure was in
troduced in the legislature providing
for the segregation of fallen women"
and forbidding the establishment of
questionable houses outside OF this
restricted district.
Now it happens that the women
vote in Colorado. and it also happen
ed that the legislature in which this
bill was introduced contained two
women members. They listened TO
the discussion OF the measure, heard
all about the iniquities and dangers
of the immoral fallen women" in the
vice centers, and then Mrs. Repre-
sentative Marshall offered an amend
ment. The bill was a good one, she
said, but it was incomplete, and she
proposed an amendment to the erect
that fallen men of the city shall be
segregated in like manner as the fall
en- women"
The silence was dense. You could
have cut it with a knife as Mrs. Rep
resentative Riddle, the other woman
member, got up and said: ''Mr. Speak
er, the only reason | do not second
that amendment is because, if it were
carried into effect, there would not
be enough men left out of the segre-
cation lines to carry on the business
of the CITY,"
When the question on the passage
of the original bill was called for Mrs.
Riddle turned to the house and said:
Let him who is without sin among
you cast the first vote for this bill.
Needless to say, the men saw imme-
diately the point which the two wo-
men members had made, the bill was
killed, and there was nothing more
said about the communicating infiu-
ence of the unfortunate women of the
lower world who had slipped cog IN
the revolutions of the moral law
