VOLUME EIGHT OF
 TROUBADOUR" OUT

Copies of volume eight of the Trou- badour, the annual publication of the students of Hendrix College, are be- ing distributed to the subscribers to- day. The book is a handsome volume of 150 pages, bound in black ooze leather with gold stamping, and is beautifully illustrated with half-tone engravings and original drawings. Assisted by an able corps of asso- ciates, Edtor-in-Ch J. H. Bishop and Business Manager William A. Harton have made decided success of the current number of the Trouba- dour and the staff is receiving many compliments on their work. For the first time since the publication was begun it was printed this year at Con- way, by the Conway Printing Com pany, who delivered the work com plete one week earlier than provided for in the contract The Troubadour has heretofore been printed in Little Rock, Memphis and Kansas City, but increased facilities enabled the local printing plant to do the work this year, and the book is pronounced by many who have examined it to be the best from a mechanical standpoint ever issued.

KIRBY SENDS OUT CONTEST PAMPHLET
POLITICIANS GATHERING
COMMITTEE EXPECTED TO DE. CIDE TEMPORARY ORGANI-
 PATTON MONDAY.

Little Rock, May 28.-The politi clans have begun to gather in Little Rock to prepare for the state Demo cratic convention in Pine Bluff next week. Judge A. J Walls, chairman of the State Central Committee, ar rived Wednesday and spent consider able time going over the ground with Secretary W. G. Hutton. The con- mittee will by Monday reach deeis- ion as to the officers for the tempo rary organization at the convention.
 Judge w. F. Kirby Wednesday aft 'ernoon mailed to the delegates to the convention a 32-page pamphlet, in which he sets forth his claims in the contest. The contestant goes into the recent primary election in Poinsett county quite fully, setting forth the same claim of fraud that he presented at the meeting of the State Central Committee. On the cover of the pam phlet he very pointedly asks: Shall the Poinsett Gang be Allowed to Steal the Nomination?'

INCEND|ARY FIRES
 AROUSE COMMUNITY BLOOOHOUNDS ARE USED
IN EFFORT TO TRACK SUPPOS- ED FIRE BUG IN MATHEWS
 TOWNSHIP.

As a result of the destruction of Ithc Woolly schoolhouse in Mathews township Tuesday night, which fol- lowed the burning of two barns in the same community, all the fires being evidently of incendiary or igin, the entire citizenship of what is known as the Blackfork community about 16 miles north of Conway, is
 aroused to high pitch of excitement.
 In an effort to trace the fre-bug, two
 bloodhounds were brought here from
 Jackson county and taken to the scene
 of the last fire late yesterday after l noon.
 The dogs, which were in charge of
 Newport deputies, are said to have
 tracked to the home of Mack Woelly. Woody, however, indignantly denied | any connection with the crime and is said to have threatened serious conse- out a warrant against him. He was
 not arrested and the officers returned to Conway late last night. It is said good deal of antagonism has arisen in the community recently,
 over a school election and other mat
 ters and the dissension has resulted in much enmity between the various fac
 tions Whether this trouble had any
 thing to do with the fires, however, is
 not known.
 Besides the burning of the school house, barn of Pink Hyatt was burned Tuesday night of last week, two mules, one wagon, a buggy, 80 bushels of corn and large quantity of feedstuff being destroyed. On Sat urday night of last week another barn belonging to pr. Hinkle was set on fire and burned. Dr. Hinkle lost a horse and considerable other prop erty.

PROVIDENCE SCHOOLS
 SUCCESSFUL SCHEME
PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY IS FINDING SUMMER SESSIONS
 ADVANTAGEOUS.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: Twelve miles southwest of Conway is a beautiful one-room school build ing 50X30 feet, well furnished with new patent desks, good library, his tory and geography maps in roller case, a globe and several other maps, a new organ, window guards and shades, door mats, in fact, everything to make a rural school comfortable, attractive and useful.
 In this neighborhood is an unusual school interest In fact, we doubt if there is another rural school in Faulkner county of equal interest
 One studying rural school problems would do well to discuss this question with at least some of our leaders. Those of this community who have studied rural school life in all it's diff ferent phases decided to make some changes.
 Instead of having school during the cold winter months, when at least two parts of the children live quite a dis tance from school who have to cross creeks, come over muddy roads, many of the little ones alone and thus being debarred from school, they have for the past three years thought it best to begin school the first of June and run to late fall Finding this a per feet success, they went little farther and opened school the first Monday in May. This being an unusual time for rural schools, it was thought at first that only one teacher would be needed, but at the end of .wo weeks it was found that the sec md teacher was badly needed, so on Monday of the third week school ope ed with an enrolment of 66 pupils, two teachers and seven grades.
 Now, the people of this community

are farmers altogether, but they are wideawake to their childrens inter- est, and instead of trying to keep their children in school during the cold winter months when they cannot otherwise use them, they are sacrific- ing and managing in different ways to keep their children in school at a time when it will be more profitable to the child.
 All who have had experience in school work know that where the par ents are deeply interested that the children have a good interest. We find the children at this place to be graded with children who go to an eight or nine months school, while these go only four and five, but it is at time when the weather is good and the child mind active.

DIDN'T TAKE HIS ALL
LAUkDRYMAN UNDULY EXCITED
OVER MlSHAP.
Fears That Loss of Ambassadoriai
Shirt Might Prove His Ruin
Turned Out to Be Quite
Unnecessary.

What happens when an ambassador
gets superheated under the collar has
become known on more than one occa-
sion but it remained for the last few
days to develop what happens when
an ambassador loses his shirt.
There are countries where ambassa-
doris don't wear shirts-at least as
shirts are understood here. Indeed,
there have been ENJOYS at Washington
who affected flowing robes, but that
was before the day when a million
pairs of scissors got busy on some
200, 100000 Chinese queues. Shirts are
as necessary part of an ambassa-
dorial wardrobe as of that of the plain
est native. Almost every Indian
wears a shirt nowadays until he joins
a circus or comes to New York, when
he must APPEAR in the traditional
blanket of his forefathers. And all
the excellencies that are accredited to
this country affect this garment.
So it is with that particular excel
lenoy who has lately been paying a
visit to New York, a habit that dur
ing the present administration has
gained such vogue among the diplo-
matte corps. Among other things, this
ambassador sent to the hotel laundry
a shirt. 1t was one of several shirts,
and, according to the best information
obtainable, it was a white shirt.
When the wash" came back the
shirt was not in it, or of it. 1t was
missing The ambassador made a
complaint. An attempt was made to
trace the garment, but a frantic
search revealed nothing that looked
like it, except shirts that were estab-
lished as belonging to other persons.
The chambermaid, the valet, the por-
ter, and the employees of the laundry
were closely questioned, but none re-
membered having seen the article.
1t was with deepest regret that the
management reported to the ambassa-
dor the result of the inquiry. His ex-
cellency was wroth. He said he must
have damages; the shirt should not
have got lost. 1t was pure careless
ness, and the hotel must reimburse
him.
Wild notions as to the value of a
shirt that was good enough to be used
by an ambassador fitted through the
mind of the manager. He knew that
shirts cost a lot more in the United
States, as a rule, than in Europe, if
they are made to order, or if they
happen to be of a superior material.
He knew of hotel clerks who wore
shirts that cost as much as SIS apiece,
and who would not think of putting on
cheaper garment. What would be
the price Of shirts worn by an am
bassador?
AS he pondered, the ambassador
spoke.
THAT was good shirt" he said,
and it was new. 1t would be only
right that | should be paid it's full
value"
And what, may I ask" ventured
the manager timidly, lis the value
your excellency puts upon the gar
ment?"
1T cost me- said the ambassador
"$1S5"
The shirt was promptly paid for
New York Times.
