PROGRESS.

He who has not lived in those years
when an old world is disappearing and
new one making its way cannot re-
alize the tragedy of life, for at such
times the old is still sufficiently
strong to resist the assault of the
new, and the latter. though growing.
is still not strong enough to ami
hilate that world on the ruins Of
which alone it will be able to pros
per. Men are then called upon to
solve insoluble problems and to at
tempt enterprises which are both nee
essary and impossible. There is con-
fusion everywhere, in the mind with
in and in the world without. Hate
often separates those who ought to aid
one another. since they are tending
toward the same goal, and sympathy
binds men together who are forced to
do battle with one another. Ferrero.

man to the Bertillon room for g glass
microscope slide? want to put a
drop of this mans blood on it.
Barton seemed to sQuirm in his
chair. My mysterious actions were af-
fecting him queerly. For moment
he remained silent, watching the oper-
alton Of placing small drop Of blood
on the microscope slide. He seemed
worried. He knew we had some sort
of information regarding which he
knew nothing. He began to ask Ques.
tions. His caution seemed to leave
him. One little admission came un-
guarded from his lips Another was
added to it. We began to twist his &C
count of his actions. And in an hour
he had confessed everything and was
willing to go back to Chicago without
requisition papers"
Miss Clement turned and looked
ahead to where a yellowish glare diff
fused the sky.
''We're getting near Coney, aren't
we?" she asked.
YES" answered. ''but that doesn't
interest me at all right now. What I
want to know is how on earth you
found out that the robber Of the safe
was deserter from the army"
Miss Clement smiled.
Il told you Of Plasmodium Falcipar-
UNI. didn't I?''
Eyes, but what in TIE name of Sam
Hill is-well. whatever you said"
Again a laugh.
sI'll have to explain it, / guess" the
pretty little detective said. when
that spot of blood found In the store
was placed under microscope it
showed plasmodium falciparum, or, in
other words, the indications of a trop-
ical malarial fever, common to the
Philippines. Then, it was a two to
one bet that the person was soldier
who recently had returned to the coun-
try. I looked up the matter and found
that the last regiment to come from
the Philippines was stationed at Fort
Leavenworth. I figured he would be
deserter, in need Of money. After
read the letters that had been inter
cepted, / was more of this opinion
than ever, for I saw he had been In
tending to get married. You see, bis
plan was to desert, get bunch Of
money, then leave the country. But
it didn't work out"
The lights of Coney fared brighter
than ever. Miss Clement turned to
again watch the tender-hearted shop
girl and the lovelorn floorwalker.
'sSilly things, aren't they?" she
asked.

home this sunny afternoon peeped
through the curtains at them.
Il do wish those two flower fanciers
would stay at home," grumbled the
Practical Woman to the Yearling
Bride and her baby. II am certain
they will walk around by my block,
and If l go home, there shall find
them looking over my borders wonder
ing why l have not made q fire OF the
rubbish littering the yard. Why, every
one knows that the asters and the
golden rod and the French marigolds
have stayed SO long this year that
we have been afraid to pull up too
many things. The other morning when
I was up at six to catch the milkman,
l saw the Hollyhock Woman out rak-
ing her beds and strewing the dry
leaves over them. She said she al
ways did that before she put on q
mulch. How aggravating these care

growing son, who was trying to reach
the red leaves twlned in her hair.
Good day to you," said the Prim-

lot looks as II it meant an autumn
garden. The bitter-sweet Is scarlet,
the mountain aah Is hung with berries,
the dog-wood, hop-tree, bush-cranber

The little woman smiled happily
and the baby clapped its hands, as
she said:
"You encourage me by noticing my
yard. A little praise goes long way,
so the wiseacres say. Think of the
many months we must stay in the
house and look out of the windows
and why should our yards look desc.

shrubs bring the birds all winter and
look so pretty when the srow hangs
on them"

not grasp every atom of Joy and
pleasure that comes his way. So

short Now I must be going; have

the street. Her friends strolled slow.

believe in much flower planting. The
Hollyhock Woman certainly acted
oueerly. She was a block ahead on
the hill, across the street, and every
few minutes she would get down on
her knees.

ought to grow. It's her way of sur

JACKSON AGAIN
RANKS FIFTH
Among Counties of State In Cot.
ton Production For Past
Year.

While Jackson County, accord
ing to the government reports
dropped from 28,755 bales pro-
duced in 1911 to 2O,949 bales
glnned the past year or the crop
OF 1912, it continues to rank
fifth among all the counties of
Arkansas in cotton production.
The loss in number of bales
shows that our crop was practi-
cally one fourth less than the
preceding year or the year be-
fore that, 1910, when our total
pro duction was 27,191 bales.
Most of the counties show a
marked decrease for 1912 from
1911, though some of the big
producers like Jefferson record
an increase over 1911's figures.
In Eastern Arkansas, the over
flow counties show plainly the
loss from the great flood of last
year.
Jefferson County by reason of
this overflow took the lead from
Mississippi County, Jefferson
having jumped from 32,745 bales
in 1911 to 38,837 bales in 1912,
while Mississippi now ranks Sc
Icond having dropped from 54,084
bales in 1911 to 28,O44 the past
year or practically half the yield
of 1911.
Lonoke comes third with H.
621 bales, an increase of over
1000 bales over 1911; Phillips
fourth with 24,457 bales drop
of 1000 bales from the previous
year.
Jackson ranks fifth as stated
with 2O,949 bales, but has a
number of close contenders for
fifth honors, among them being
Columbia with 2O,299 bales
Crittenden with 20,051 bales
Faulkner 2O,685 bales, Pope TO-
f; 1882 bales and Yell 2O,694 bales
all of these being in the 10000
class.

Died While Fighting Fire.

Batesville, April 22.-That
William C. Mcintosh came to his
death through overexertion IN
fighting forest fires, was the
investigated after the mans
verdict of the coroner's jury that
body had been found lying by
the roadside near Melrose in this
county. There is still susplc-
ion that Mcintosh was murdered
and there may be a further IN
vestigation.
Mcintosh came here from the
East about Is years ago and es-
tablished a sheep ranch. He was
well educated and prosperous
He is said to have had trouble
with men whom he accused OF
having stolen sheep and this
strengthens the suspicion OF foul
play.

Button Factory Shuts Down.

The local plant of the Rockport
Button Company has been order
ed closed for two weeks to under
go repairs and the IS cutters
now upon the pay roll are as a
consequence out of employment
for the time at least.
It is understood that the COM
pany has a big supply of blanks
on hand and that the market has
not been good lately. The re-
duction in the tariff upon blanks
is also reported to be having its
influence upon the market.
The company has over GU
tons of shells upon hands here
and Manager John Bond OF the
local plant believes that ne will
receive orders to resume opera
tions at the end of two weeks
Whether or not the other plants
of this company have been clos
ed is not known here.

County Depository Controversy.
onerated

Batesville, April 22.-The
most important case in the cir
cult court here on the civil dock
ct was tried today, when the
case of the Union Bank and
Trust Company was argued. 1t
is a case in which the bank made
a bid for the county funds, offer
ing to pay 312 per cent, and the
Citizens Bank and Trust Com
pany bid one-fourth per cent
more than any other bank, with
out specifying any amount.
The County Court awarded
the money to the Citizens bank
on this bid, and the Union bank
contended that this was in fact
not bid, and appealed the case.
In recess Judge Jeffrey ordered
that the county funds be deposit
ed as the County Court had di-
rected, and when the case was
tried today that order stood as
final as far as this court is con-
cerned.
There has never been another
case like it in the State, and the
case will be appealed to the Su'
preme Court. The amount OF
the county money runs from
$4,000 to 100000.

board of stewards for a number
Of years.
The active pail bearers were
j. j. Blanshard, Geo. R. Hays, J.
