TIE Bell Bird.

The most remarkable thing in con-
nection with the bell bird is its power
full voice. 1t utters clear metallic
note that can he heard at Il distance of
three miles. Its noise is like that pro
dured by Il blacksmith striking his an
vii Sometimes it repeats its notes in
quick succession, sometimes at fairly
long intervals. There is no mistake
about the voice of this bird: 1t is loud
and piercing and would be- beard
above the din produced by every ill.,
mate of the zoo raising it's voice Mt
once. Except for space Of naked
skin on the throat and around the
eyes, which during the breeding sea-
son is OF green color, this bird is pure
white. The contrast between the sex
es in the bell birds is extreme. for,
while the male is pure white. the fe-
male is brownish green. Darwin re-
fers to the bell bird when he points
out that white is IL very rare color in
terrestrial species of moderate size
and inotfensive habits.'-Pall Mall Ga

THE LION IN THE SNOW PIT.

Text, And Benaiah went down and slew
lion in the midst of a pit in the time Of
snow."-I Sam. xiii. 20
It is quite a trick to make the best
of a bad situation. Most of us have q
readiness to make the worst of it.
This man Benaiah had rare stuff il
him.. He had already done mighty
deeds: killed two giant Moabites. arm
ed only with a stick he overcame an
Egyptian hearing a spear. That gave
him the momentum Of victory. He
knew that what had been done once
could be done again. If the worst came
to the worst he would have, the honor
Of dying fighting and not flying. In that
pit neither he. nor the lion could es-
cape battle. A hard fight, bad position,
wrong conditions. chances against him.
no powerful repeating rifle nor dogs
to bark and snap ut the beast to divert
his attention.
The people are in excitement and
terror. First one sheep and then an
other is missing from the various
fiocks. The cause of the depreciation is
soon known. 1t is lion. Mothers
are afraid to let children out of sight.
At night the lions roar can be heard
in the distance. Neighbors exchange
frightened glances. Whose sheepfold
will be broken into tonight? Dogs
prick up their ears. run out into the
dark. bark once or twice, then run
whining back with fear Is there no
way to catch the beast and get rid of
the danger?
One Msn-Plus!
One day the snow falls. the lion can
be tracked. Here and there's a little
squirt of blood from bis last victim
showing which way he has taken.
They track him to an old pit. Here
was his lair. and he's at home. But
who will dare fight him? They think
of Benaiah. "Oh," says Benaiah, 1--WE
been waiting for six months to kill
that lion and never got chance. 1t
was likely to pounce on me or my chill
dren Mt any time. Now Pm going to
settle it one way or another. It's Be-
naiah or the Eon"' Then he trudges of
through the snow He hears blood
curdling roar as he nears the pit. He
grasps his weapon more tightly. AT
the edge of the pit he looks down.
There is the lion. His jowls are wet
with the blood Of the lamb heohas just
carried Off He losses his name. his
eyes fash with anger. his tail lashea
with fury. he crouches for spring
1t wasn't the kind of day Benaiah
liked The wind is chill. the air is
raw. the ground is slippery. One
would rather sit by the fire and keep
dry III strike quick and hard.
thinks Benaiah. He gives prayer to
the God of Israel and a flying leap into
the pit There's a roar and a sound OF
awful conflict When the noise stops
Benaiah comes out-the lion is dead

very brave one to do it ''in time Of

r. G.. PARHAM ASKS AN
ENDORSEMENT TERN.

Hon. Thomas G.. Parham, the pres
ent prosecuting attorney of the Ele-
venth Judicial District, is candidate
| for an endorsement term. His an
appears in the proper
column of the Graphic this morning,
and, of course, his candidacy is sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
party at the primary election to be
held in Jefferson, Lincoln and Desha
counties on March 25. In asking for
an endorsement term, Mr.. Parham
does so with the knowledge that the
few months he has served in that Of
flee have been fruitful of good service
and have been characterized by an
honest administration Of the affairs of
that important district position. He
has given the court business prompt
and careful attention and has not
been found wanting in any sense OF
the word in the disposition of bust
ness when it was locked.
Mr.. Parham is a young man. He
is now holding his first office. He
was appointed prosecuting attorney
to succeed District Attorney T. Havis
Nixon, who resigned, by Acting Gov
ernor J.. M. Futrell, on April 10,
1913. Previous to that time he had
served as a deputy under Mr.. Nixon
for nearly three years and gave good
service. He was elected to succeed
himself at the special election held
June n, 1918, by majority of 752
votes, defeating Hon. H. K. Toney,
one of the strongest campaigners IN
this state. He merits second term,
for his services have been satisfac-
tory. We pass his candidacy to the
voters for their earnest considera-
ton.

LYERLY (GA.) BANK ROBBED.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 31.-The
vault of the Lyerly (Ga) bang was
yesterday dynamited by burglars, who
secured about $4,000. The robbers
barricaded the streets around the
bank with barbed wire and at inter-
walls the sentry fired their revolvers
to intimidate the people. No one ven
tured forth until after the robbers had
fled. A large posse is securing the

on March 25.
Judge Lucas is a lawyer Of years
of experience. He was deputy pro-
scouting attorney in. this district
under the late Smith G.. Martin, in
Lincoln county, and was elected
county and probate judge of that
county three times, serving with I'M
usual ability and care. He also rep
resented that county in the, Legisla-
ture, being a member of the lower
house. He was a member OF the
Committee that drafted the Railroad
Commission Bill and also was prom
ineat during the session as a men,
Der of the Judiciary Committee. Mr..
Lucas is a man of integrity and
ability and if honored with the posi-
ton to which he aspires, he would be
a credit to not only the three coun-
ties in the district officially, but to
himself, and his constituents. We
leave his candidacy to the voters for
their consideration.

Secretary Owen r. Lovejoy of the
National Child Labor committee, sum-
farizes the present status Of the
movement in the United States as fol-
lows:
THE white list of states with a
really effective child labor law COW
ering or more of the common &C.
equations children is still very
short only IA states in all, and even
these leave certain kinds of work out
side of the fourteen year limit.
There are SO far nine states which
have not yet reached IA year age
limit even for factory work; there is
no state in the Union that has at
tempted to ct an age limit higher than
10 years for newsboys; and only seven
states have reached a standard of 81
years age limit for night messengers.
Boys of fourteen or less are still
employed at the peril of their moral
and physical integrity in this night
fessenger work in score of states.
agricultural work is still entirely
unregulated outside of New York and
Tennessee, and children of tender
years are doing an adults work in
the berry field and cranberry Dogs.
"Many states that have made Child
Labor laws are not seeing that they
are enforced, and the National COM
mittee is now engaged in a careful
survey of the methods of administer
Ing the law in the different states.
"The standard of inspection service
Lis steadily rising, but we all fall fal
below English. There are half doz
en- states in which there is no attempt
at inspection of labor conditions and
therefore no attempt to enforce the
child labor laf. And there are per-
haps q score in which the staff of In.
spectors is so ridiculously small thai
through statewide inspection il
sically impossible"
Many states now have laws to pre-
vent or regulate the employment o
children and efforts are being made tt
have unifor mchild labor law adopt
ed for all of the states of the Union
This subject is to be discussed at tn
National Conference on Child Labo
at New Orleans next March and plan
are under way for the celebration o
| the tenth anniversary of the organl
zatiop- of the National Child Labo
Ecummittee which will be reached II
April. This will give further impetn
| to the movement to regulate child la
Dor in this country.
