of that date in my diary.
In the following carnival I was
to be brought out" This pros
pect delighted me, but not to such
an extraordinary degree as is usu-
ally the case with young girls.
This summer my aunt was or
dered a course of the waters at
Marienbad. She was pleased to
take me with her. Though my
official introduction into the So
called world" was not to take
place till the following winter,
was yet allowed to take part in
some little dances at the Kurhaus,
with an idea also of exercising me
in dancing and conversation, so
that l might not be altogether shy
and awkward in entering on my
first carnival season.
But what happened at the first
party which I visited? A serious,
vital love affair. It was, of course,
a lieutenant of hussars. The civ
ilians in the hall appeared to me
like cockchafers to butterflies
compared to the soldiers. And of
the wearers of uniforms present
the hussars were every way the
most splendid; and, finally, of all
the hussars Count Arno Dotzky
was the most dazzling.
Over six feet high, with black
curly hair, twisted moustaehes,
glittering white teeth, dark eyes,
with such a penetrating and ten
der expression-fn fine. at his
question, Have you the cotil1ion
free, countess?" l felt that there
might be other trfumphs as excit-
ing as the banner-waVing of the
Maid or Orleans, or the ecepter-
waving of the great Catherine.
And he at the age of twenty-five
felt something very similar as he
flew round the room in the waltz
with the prettiest girl in the hall

afterwards) lat any rate, he was
probably thinking. ITO possess
thee, thou sweet creature, would

II was not finding fault with
You for that. My blame was for
your behavior with that hussar.

:TRUTH CRUSREDT0 EARTH
By FANNY ELLISON.

Its uueer," said the little stenog- rapher, but men haven't the least in- stinct of honor. That is true, at least, SO far as this office force is concerned. I mean the men aren't truthful"
 Excepting bookkeepers," supple mented the bookkeeper.
 "Oh, yes, I didn't include book keepers--or office boys or clerks. They don't count one way or the other. I had reference to Mr. Gray and his type.
 "Mr. Gray had a long-distance tele- phone call from New York today. was sitting waiting for him, so over- heard what he said. The man at the other end was mad about something and Mir. Gray was trying to pacify him.
 You know he said to the man in New York, how clerical errors will creep into letters and get overlooked. Pm sorry I didn't read over that let ter more carefully. I'll see that it doesn't happen again!'
 "Well, I was trembling in my shoes, thinking it was some big mis- take I'd made in writing a letter, but when Mir. Gray hung up the receiver he smiled at me.
 "'My!' he said, That man has a bad disposition. I promised to meet him in New York last night and forgot it entirely. But made him inIy { ovnvv fVYn rn nh n O error in the date I gave him in my letter-so it'll be all right for me to meet him next week And he never once thought about his having put the blame for his mistake on my innocent shoulders!
 But I'm not the only one. There's poor MT. Elliot. That man worked nights for two solid weeks getting that new card index system into shape, and when he got it finished he was as proud of it as peacock. I didn't blame him a bit-for you know what really good thing that new index system is going to be.
 "But MT. Gray, who fully appreci- ates the worth of it, didn't hesitate to tell the president, right in my very presence, that he'd had that lit tie system in mind for some time and with Elliot's help he'd got it up! Talked just as though MT. Elliot had done the rough work under his super vision, when, in fact, Mr. Elliot was the whole show from beginning to end! Actually it made me angry.
 "Then today Mir. Gray deliberately told Billy to take letter down to the printers and to wait for an an swer. But when Billy didn't get back until five o'clock and it was time for him to go home MT. Gray wanted an other errand run-so what did he do

little Rock, Jan. 19.-Before an immense attendance in the room of the First Division of the Circuit Court the first sesion of the hearing of the Argenta saloon petition was heard this morning. The room, which mas seating capacity of 400 or more, was jammed and crowded, while even the dOorways were full of people packed as tightly as sar- dimes i1 a can.
 During the morning session Judge Joe Asher stated that should the petition asking fer the saloons con- tain the signatures of majorlty oi the white adult population of Argenta t would be granted. There will be many signatures contested and the first of this work was scheduled for this afternoon. Estimates submitted or the population of Argenta were conflicting, the saloon stating it is approximately 12,000, while the 'drys' say there are 15,00O people living in that city.
 The question of the white adult population has not been gone into The petition asking for the license bears 2,S49 signatures. The "Gry'' forces contend, however, that several hundred names will be stricken from this list. The hearing probably will continue for several days.

WATER RATE HEARING
 IS RESUMED HERE
WILLIAM VON PHUL, OF NEW OR. LEANS, WAS PRINCIPAL WIT.
 NESS ON YESTERDAY.
Standing Master Nhipple Presides Over Session Length of
 Which Is Uncertain.

Whether the water rate hearing will occupy the remainder of this week or not will depend largely upon the manner in which testimony before Standing Master Durand Whipple, of Little Rock, is accelerated The ad- jOurned hearing was taken up yester- day before him and the principal tes- timony was given by William Won Phul, engineer connected with Ford, Bacon & Davis, of New Orleans. His testimony was largely in respect to the physical valuation of the plant and the length of the hearing from now on will depend largely upon how many witnesses to this effect Attorney F. c. Bridges, of the Pine Bluff Com pany, places on the stand, and the length of time required for cross-ex- animation at the hands of City Attor- ney w. B. Alexander.
 So far there has been practically. no testimony as to the earning capacity of the company, and this will likely prove factor in the hearing. Testi- mony heretofore has been relative to the valuation of the plant, depre- citation and such. The hearing will be taken up again this morning and will then be pushed through to con- clusion when Master Whipple will go over the evidence and make hissa re port to Judge Jacob Trieber.
