The change was accomplished in the

that the tie-beam became equal in
length to the" width of the cottage
Upon the tops, or at the ends, of these

rafters were laid between the pans

remarks a writer In London Country

about to be destroyed.
The earliest existing type of cottage
in England has been admirably de-
scribed by Mr. Sidney Oldall Addy IN
his invaluable book, The Evolution
of the English House" Unfortunately
that work lacks the profuse lliustTa-
ton il so we'll deserves, and the lack
is especially felt in respect to this
historically most important OF ali the
types. Cottages, he says, OF the ear
lier type are still found in Gloucester

Lancashire, and are doubtless TO De
found in every English county In
this, think, he is mistaken, Tor l can
find none of the type in question in
Kent or thereabouts, nor have l been

anywhere.

ton of the house of one bay was sim
pie. Two pairs of bent trees, in form
resembling the laneet-shaped arches
of a Gothic church, were set UP on
the ground, and united at their apeXe5
by a ridge tree. The framework SO
set up was strengthened by two tie
beams and four wind-braces, and was
fastened together by wooden pegs
The bent trees or arches were placed
at a distance of about 16 feet apart
and the space included between them
was known as bay"
These pairs of bent trees are

What Will They Do With It?

1 what VIII lney DO Wltn It! We trust the election of Act
 ing President Futrall, of the
 State University, to be the real
 president of that institution,
 marks the beginning of some
 settled policy and harmony
 therein. For years the univer-
 sity has been the sport of poli-
 tics and of internal factions, an
 experience which would have killed a less hardy institution | and one with shallower roofing in the good will of the people. Under the circumstances that
 have existed, taken into consid- e1ation with too scant aid from the legislature, it is indeed re- markable that the university is forging ahead instead of go- ing backward. This gain must be due to the innate virility of the state university idea-that is to say the peoples apprecia- tion of it's usefulness-and to the high character of the stud ent body and the fidelity of the faculty to the main purpose al- though the faculty is not free from the change of factionalism that must inevitably have de- tracted from the strength and purpose and success of the uni- versity.
 Now that the politicians seem disposed to allow the university to pursue it's proper course with out pernicious intermeddling let us hope the faculty will bury dissension and work together for the good of the university and the state.-Fort Smith Times Record.

What Is the Mems Forward
 Movement.

to ask a question, but rather
 difficult matter to answer satls- ,factorily the question at issue.
 The question is frequently ask
 ed by men regardless of social
 caste and religious taste what IS
 the Mems Forward Movement in
 Newport? Men do not invest their time, money and energy in 9 proposition about which theyI are totally ignorant. Ask any man who is in business what hist business is, he does not have to consult an Oracle nor a Sage of remote history, but his answer is always on the tip of his
 tongue. Why then should the question be asked so often by intelligent men, what is the Mems Forward Movement? In as much as the question is ask ed so often it is the writer's de- sire to answer the question and to answer it to the perfect satis- faction of all fair-minded men.
 It is not an innovation. It is as old as the Christian religion, and dating back to the source of all
 religious activity, the Carpenter ]! of Nazareth. It is real move
 ment, in a real world, in a real
 way and composed of real men.
 It is not an anti-saloon league, not a political machine, but a
 religious movement among all of
 the men of the world. It is an
 Anti Evil Association and inaug- urated for the uplift of humanity
 everywhere. There was a su-
 preme reason why the Organiza-
 tion came so prominently to the
 front, and under the most pro-
 pitious circumstances. It was
 the dreadful neglect of the men
 of our town that this movement
 was inaugurated in Newport
 The men are pre-eminently the
 neglected citizens of the country
 as touching religious matter
 and activity in the Christianiza
 tion of the world. It wa
 brought into existence to touc,
 the heart, win the confidence an
 love, to impress the minds C
 men with the peculiar honor an, dignity that is theirs in tn
 evangelization of the world. I: the year 1648 in Westminste
 Abbey company of venerabl men was in session. The actua time covered four long years They discussed all of the cardi- nal principles of religion, formed definite views, adopted certain rules of faith and discipline.
 The Assembly did not convene for the special advantage of the people of England, but today af- ter the passage of centuries En- gland is still feeling the heart throbs of that great company of men. Just as the river takes unconsciously the color of the soil through which it flows, just so will the stream of thought is- suing from the fountain head of the Forward Movement not !, only change climate and envi- ronment, but color the thoughts ], and characters of all in the l town of Newport.
 In the Mems Forward Move- ment all of the timely subjects, and up-to-date religious topics are most cordially welcomed. The motto of the organization is Better Things For All, And All For Better Things" The platform is world wide in scope and interest. It is strictly non ectarian, non-denominational, and non-distinguishing as to men. We know men as men in our meetings and on the avenues of life. It is our ambition to in- spire all men to move in a whole
