RUsE AND RISE

Samuel was one of those indus
trious lads who are hardly ever met
outside the pages of an Early-Vic-
terian story-beok. z.
He occupied the proud position Of
office-boy, and was always at his desk
wrapped up in his work. He was
never late in the morning, and never
grumbled at having to stay and work
at night. He was always civil, al
ways clean, always busy
He; was almost too perfect for this
wicked world. . -.....-

with a SNUG smile and request for
a rise in salary. -1%z

"Oh, that's what you think, is it?"
at is, sir, and. Eve been thinking
so for the last two months, sir, only
I've been too busy to say so, sir."
And that's how Samuel got his rise.

CURE FOR OBSTINATE FELoN
New York Physician Reports That ne
Has Encouraging Success win
q New Remedy.

A whitlow is an Inflammation IN
der the skin, usually on q finger. Eel
ons start from whitlows. In a felon
the Inflammation has extended to the
periosteum and sometimes to the
sheath Of a tendon. Any one who q
had one knows how painful 1t IS.
The usual treatment is to apply tine
ture OF iodine, alcohol, spirit of cam
phor or witch hazel and to poultfce
with f1axseed. This will generally give
relief. When these remedies fail the
felon has to be lanced.
Lancing does not always cure, how
ever. and DR.. Beverley Robinson OF
New York reports to the Medical
Journal that he had success with such
an obstinate felon by covering it with
aseptic gauze soaked in equal parts OF
glycerine and saturated solution OF ep-
som salts, renewed night n morn
ing. During the day this dressing was
removed for awhile and the finger
was soaked in hot water and borax
(half water) for fifteen or twenty
minutes. After several weeks OF wet
dressing and soaking, oxide o. zinc
ointment was applied. Dr. Robinson
also gave tincture Of gentian, one
dram before meals, and found this
beneficial.

Too Much Realism.

One Of the most successful produc-
tions at the "Old Vic" was a play
written without Dickens permission
round "Oliver Twist" and banned by
tile lord chamberlain owing to the re-
RIistic way in which Bill Skies muir
dered Nancy. His lordship's jurisdic-
ton did not extend to what were then
called the minor theaters,' so the
play was for many years a standing
dish at the vic" and thrilled the gal
Ieryites with fierce emotions, no mat
ter how many times they had seen 1t.
Nancy was always dragged round the
stage by her hair" writes John Hol-
lingshead, "and after this effort, Skies
always looked up defiantly at the gal
lery. He was always answered by one
loud and fearful curse, yelled by the
whole mass like a Handel festival cho-
rus. When Skies seemed to dash
Nancy's brains out on the stage a
thousand outraged voices, which
sounded like ten thousand, filled the
theater and deafened the audience be
low."-London Chronicle.

MIRROR FOR DAINTY WOMAN
May Be Held in the Mouth, Leaving
Both Hands Free to Arrange
the Back Hair.

At last a woman may have both
hands free to arrange her back hair
as she looks in a mirror. This is made
possible now by the invention of a mir
ror which can be held in the mouth,
thus rejecting the back of the head
from the main mirror of the dressing
table.
1t is the invention of a ~Frenchman.
Who has given so much thought to the
elegancies of woman's toilet as the
French?
This new mirror is broad, SO as to
give q good general view sidewise, and,
being fixed on a curved bar, stands
we'll out from the face, SO that there is
no strain on the eyes.
At the bottom of the curved bar IS
the bite" not too large for dainty
mouths and covered with batting, so
rs to be easily held without harming
the teeth.
Even the hygienic side of the use of
this mirror has been considered, for a.
number of thick envelopes just fitting
over the bite" come with the mirror,
so that you may lend it to your friend
and neither she 0 you fear any con-
tagion.

ALL THINGS SAFE THAT NIGHT
Reason Why There Mas Nothing Ex.
traordinary About Man Recover
ing His Lost Watch.

When the snow fell thickest on the
first night of q storm last winter q
Staten Island man got off the ferry
boat at ST. George and pulled out his
gold watch to note the time, relates
the New York Press. 1t fell from his
hand into a pile of snow. He searched
for II, of course, but as the wind q
blowing a hurricane and he vas
numbed through he made up his mind
ne would have to let 1t go. So he re-
luctantly trudged up the street.
The next day when he went down to
the ferry the storm had abated some
what and as he neared the particular
pile OF snow where he had dropped the
watch he determined to have another
look. So he went to 1t. There was
no mile a minute wind and no sleet
in his face and his body was warm
after a good solid breakfast.
He rummaged around for ten minutes
or more and at last, to his great Joy,
he saw the watch, somewhat dirty, but
still in a first rate state Of %preserva-
ton. He was so overjoyed that he had
to tell his luck to q policeman who had
been watching his search c%uriously.
"Oh. is that what it was?' said the
bluecoat. And you're surprised? Well,
you needn't be. Can you name a nan

Golfer Without Arms.

An armless golfer Is q regular player
on the Buffalo County club links. BY
means Of his mouth, chin and shout
ders he does practically everything
possible for a formal golfer to accom-
plish, and he q it well. For two sue
cessive years he has won the title and
trophy presented by the club to the
caddie covering the 18 holes In the
lowest score. He also plays pool and
billiards we'll, grssping the u firmly
between the chin and shoulder as he
does the golf-stick. He writes legibly,
too, picking up the pencil with the
mouth and working it down to the chin
and shoulder. he picks up paper and
turns the page Of a book with his lips.

STRANGE ~Extravaaance.

A witticism Of James Hazen Hyde's
Is going the rounds Of Paillard's, the
Ritz, Armenonville, and other fash
ionable resorts of Paris.
A rich young Englishman, George
Mitchell, paid, as everybody knows. q
large sum for the privilege Of being
knocked out by Carpenter, the French
champion.
Mr.. HAGEN Hyde, who attended the
combat, said, as the battered Briton
took the count:
Here's a fine young fellow comes
to Paris and pays $4,000 to have his
face smashed by a boxer, when, for a
hundredth part of the money. he could
have it kissed by the prettiest girl at
Maxim's."

Took Prize With Small Catch.

A tiny minnow, hardly an inch
long, and weighing the twentieth part
of an ounce, has brought an angler at
Armentieres, in the north Of France,
a prize OF $50. and, earned him the
hearty dislike of his fellow anglers In
Belgium and the north Of France.
Fifty-seven societies, comprising 1000
anglers, met at Armentieres the other
day to compete for a valuable prize.
After an hours fishing 1t was found
that only one fish had been caught
The proud angler brought his min
now to the scale, and the organizing
committee, in the absence of any
other catch, were obliged to award
hill the prize.

Rats at School.

The managers Of the West Hill in
liant schools at Epson, England, are
wrestling, but so far in vain, with a
colony of rats. Rat-catchers have
spent nights in the building waging
war upon them, but they are still nu-
merous. According to the schoolmis-
tress, they peer out Of the holes all
round the room when the piano is
played, and then come out and scam
per about until the music stops. The
children have grown so used to them
that their appearance does not worry

COTTON IS QUIETER
 AND PRICES DECLINE
New York Market Is Less Active and Loses to 5 Points for Day. No Hedge Selling and Market
 Showed Steady Tone

New York, Dec. 15.-Cotton was less active today and prices showed a ten dency to sag under scattered offerings from Southern and local sources. The close was steady at a net decline of 3 to points.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to points in sympathy with steady cables and reports of steady spot markets in interior. There seemed to be very little demand, however, and the market soon turned a shade easier, under a little New Orleans and Wall street selling. The absence of support suggested that the towering movement, which had caused the advance of about 30 points from low level of last week, had about run its course and there was some realiz- ing by recent buyers. At the same time there was no hedge selling of inn portance and the market showed a fairly steady tone at the decline. Closing prices were about the low lest of the day.
 The government crop report indicat- ed that the price of cotton on the farm at the beginning of the month averaged only CSC per pound. In spite of the low value of this crop, however, the country's total crops on the basis of prevailing farm prices on December 1, were stimated to be worth only $21 100000 less than last year, encouraging expectations of an general trade.

crATE HAS TWO BOARDS
 CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS
Now Board Held Meeting, Elected Secretary and Adjourned Until Monday. Are not Giving Out
 Plans of Procedure.

Little Rock, Dec. 16.-There are .uo State Boards of Charitable Insti- t,tions in the state, with three mem hers recognized by each.
 The old Board, or the four remain mo members, Messrs Love, Dunaway, chane and Parsons, adjourned Mon dav evening until the regular date of meeting on the first Monday in Jan uary.
 Messrs Parsons and Love remained to prepare the biennial report of the Board for submission to the Cover nor as required by law.
 At ? p. m. Tuesday, when Love and Parsons returned to the office with Secretary R. w. Hart, they found Messrs T. D. Burress, Chas. D. James, Dougal McMillan, Judge J. D. Doyle, and c. P. Merrnweather were present.
 Secretary Hart was requested by a member of the new Board to call the meeting to order, but he replied that the Board had adjourned, and that there had been no call for a special meeting. Asked if he would act as secretary, he replied that he did not recognize their authority to ask him to act in that capacity; the only ones whom he recognized as being mem lbers of the Board were Messrs Love and Parsons, the old members, Messrs McMillan and Evans, who had been appointed to succeed Messrs McCorkle and Elsken, resigned, and Gen. Tom Greene of Pine Bluff, who had not been in any way concerned in the shake-up.
 Judge Jeptha H. Evans of Bonneville one of the new members whose status is not in question, had notified the governor that he could not attend the meeting on account of the serious ill., ness of his father.
 Upon the refusal of MT. Hart to act as secretary, the five new members piCSCHI, VuCSSIS CtlC anu IINdllS DC- ing absent elected Col. James as chairman, and Dr. Meriweather tenn porary secretary. Joe B. Ferguson, of Magnolia, was elected secretary of the Board to succeed R. w. Hart, and notified that he must make a bond for $10.OOO, which, he said he would proceed to do in a few days.
 The new Board demanded the books and records, but the old Board refused to surrender them, and refused to rec ognize the authority of MT. Ferguson as secretary. The Board then ad- jocrned until next Monday.
 "We have no statement whatever to make for the public," said one mem- Der of the new Board. "We do not object to taking the people into our confidence, but we do not care to let the other side know what our plans are."
The Prescott daily news., 1914-12-16

The members of the new Board con- ferred at length with Gov. Hays after their meeting, but the governor was equally reticent as to their proposed procedure.
 It is expected that proceedings will be instituted in the courts very soon to straighten out the tangle, but just what will be done is not know. It is probable that custer or DUO warranto will be appealed to.

There were no developments in the Hodges case yesterday, although his attorneys expressed confidence that they will be able to obtain a stay of execution before Friday.
