WILL TO LIVE MEANS MUCH
Once Person Afflicted Witt Sickness
Gives Up Hope, the Case ic Con-
sidered Desperate.

A series of cases of deaths within
a few days of each other of persons
who were nearly related. the FIRST of
which were those of DR.. and Mrs.
S. Weir Mitchell, affords striking
illustration Of the place Of the will
to live in human life, says the New
York Herald.
It is a common observation that
whenever, for any reason, one who
is i'll gives up hope of being cured
or fears that life may not be worth
living, the outlook of the case is
always serious. Physicians are al
ways anxious about such persons,
even in minor ills. 1t is truer among
the old than the young that the will
to live is an important element for
recovery from serious illness, but at
all ages this represents a much more
important factor than is often
thought. The will to get well stren-
uously exercised would save many a
sufferer from prolonged symptoms
that are very difficult to bear and
make life almost impossible. The
lesson thus taught is a precious one
much needed in our time.

j. j. Starting, who was on trial
for completely in the Fulton bank
robbery when we went to press
last week, was adiudged not gull
ty by a jury, that body only being
out a short time before arriving
at a verdict. The evidence failed
to connect him with the robbery.
One of the supposed gang of
robbers, who was sent to the pen
itentiary in connection with the
Dardanelle affair, and is now serv-
ing sentence, was brought here
and identified b Y three of the
main state witnesses as having
been seen in the vicinity of Fulton
in company with Starring the
morning. after the robbery. As
rebuttal to this testimony the de
fenSe placed the Ft. Smith chief
of police on the stand, whose rec
ords show this same man
Thompson-to have been in Jail at
Fort Smith at that time.
a touching scene followed the
juries announcement of a verdict
of acquittal. Starting and his
wife embraced each other in their
joy, but this was quickly changed
to sorrow and tears on the part
of the faithful wife when Deputy
Sheriff Joe Gault of Dardanep
stepped up and arrested Starting
on charge of assault with intent
to kill. The prisoner was i'm
mediately carried to the station
and tire train was boarded for
DardaneEe.
II is understood that sCverdl
other charges are hanging over
Startling and will probably have to
be faced as soon as the Dardanelle
authorities are through with him.

FEARED THEIR GREAT LEADER
William Pitts Domination over His
Followers Due Mainly to Pow

Pitt in power was indeed a terrible
person, even in the outer man. A
tall, lean body, full of grace and
courtly dignity, even though shat
tered and emaciated by violent gout,
was crowned with a small head that,
to the unfortunate victim Of his
wrath, appeared 20 consist chiefly Of
a great eagle-bcaked nose and a pair
of the most terrible eyes that ever
cleaned - human visage.
No one could look him in the face
when his anger was reused. A timid
member sho rose to attack him
would sit down dumb and faltering
when the statesman's fierce glance
scorched into him. One day Beck
ford had been Grating on the subject
of sugar, and his oft repetition of
the homely word plunged the house
into convulsiOns Of laughter. Pitt
rose to support his friend.
Sugar, Mr.. Speaker" he began,
and the laughter recommended.

dered, flashing his terrible eyes
around him, "who dares laugh at
sugar."

ATTENDANCE is SPLENDID
Annual Session To Be Held
At Bellaire Saturday,
July 18th \

The first quarterly session OF
the Hampstead County Singing
Convention was held a t Water
Creek churclrSunday, April 18th
with fourteen directors on the
program and a large attendance
of members from over the cOan-
ty. Messrs. Billingsly and Blake,
of Hope, with cOrnet, and Mr..
Switzer, with violin, each gave
numbers which were well rem
dered and highly appreciated,
while Mrs. Billingsly, Miss Dora
Allen and W. A. Rowe, each with
credit, presided at the organ.
Prof. W. NJ. Ramsey, repre-
senting the Central Printing Co.,
of Little Rock, was present and
was given place on the program:
his books were introduced and
were used by the singers while
he was leading, but eventually the
Patton Studerts changed back to
the old books published by Patton
and Showalter. In the afternoon
Director Robins extended h i 5
time to Prof. Ramsey, but the
latter refused to serve, claiming
that he had been ignored by the
Convention. He then proceeded
to make damaging accusations
against Prof. Showalter, with the
evident purpose of lowering him
in the estimation of those present
and increasing the sale of his own
books This incident is given on
ly for the purpose Of correcting
any erroneous statements that
might be made in connection with
it.
Taken as a whole, the conven-
ton was a splendid success. c, 4
interest is increasing with each

Archbishop and Four Bish-
ops Must Submit
to Quiz
Court Rules Catholics Must Stand
Examination in Damage Suit
Against Them by Polish
Publication.

Il uDIICSUC1Ons
80 EBASTIAN G. MESSMER,
nj archbishop Of the archdiocese
|. N of Milwaukee, and four asso-
ciate bishops of Wisconsin
must submit to an examina-
ton under the discovery statue in
connection with the 100000 dam
age suit against them by Michael
Kruszka, proprietor of The Kuryer
Polski, according to a decision of
Judge Halsey late Thursday
The four associates are Bishop
James Schwebach, La Crosse; Bishop
Frederick Els, Marquette; Bishop
Joseph J. Fox, Green Bay, and Bish-
GU Augustin F. Schinner, formerly
of Superior.
The decision permits Messmer to
be questioned on all matters in con-
nection with the alleged boycott ex-
cept as to a certain parochial letter
he is alleged to have formulated
against the paper and that was read,
it is claimed, in all the churches in
the archdiocese through the instru-
mentality Of the bishops named.
This pastoral letter is held to come
within the category Of internal
church affairs. 1t was an edict
against the Kuryer Polski, forbid
ding ali Catholic church members to
read the paper under the dire penal
ties of the church.
Admits Boycott
Ia his answer to the complaint in
the suit the archbishop admitted
having promulgated the pastoral let
ter and that it ordered Catholics not
to read the paper, advertise in it or
subscribe for it, on the ground that
it had offended against the rules of
the canons and doctrines of the
church. The archbishOp's answer
also contended that the civil courts
had no jurisdiction over matters Of
church discipline.
Judge Halsey decides that the
archbishop must produce all cores
pondence, letters, copies Of letters,
memoranda or notes in his posses
sion regarding the pastoral letter,
but is not required to produce letters
or DEGREES issued by him to bishops
and priests in the archdiocese, or
documents relating to the establish
ment or management of The Nowiny
Polski, daily published in Milwau-
kee under the archbishop's auspices.
Must Furnish Copies.
The archbishop is, however, re-
CURED to furnish 'Eall copies of is
sues of The Kuryer Po1ski, or trans
latiOns of same" in his possession or
custody, or originals or copies of let
tiers sent him by Michael Kruszka,
editor of The Kuryer Polski or other
officers of the said paper, either be-
fore or after the issuance of the pas
tora1 letter.
Great interest has been felt over
the unusual litigation involving the
alleged boycott of the archbishop,
not only among Polish residents of
Milwaukee and other cities, but by
people generally, and the story of
the whole controversy is interesting
and makes a queer chapter in church
history.

OA1O VAhUlN1As
Dear Sir: Enclosed is a letter
that l have been mailing my friends
around here and hope to send you
club soon. I am not sending it for
your paper-just thought it might
be OF some interest to you personally
to know when people take a step in
the right direction.
l am Georgian from near Tai

raised on Tom Watson and corn
bread.
You being in the Baptist church
and at the same time bigger than the
thing is mystery belonging to the
class you spoke of in The Jeff of the

head above water, for if you live to
see another presidential election or
two, you and everything connected
with you will be on top.

Powhatan, Va
Dear Sir: For the first time in it's
history, we are offered Tom Watson'B
paper, The Jeffersonian, for soc in
clubs of ten. [ am going to send in
club about the middle of next
week and would be pleased to send
for you and your friends. It is not
one cent in my pocket to subscribe
through me, but it is soc in yours
to send with the club as the regular
price is one dollar and you can't
afford to miss the paper.
Mr.. Watson is the only man of his
,caliber with no axe to grind, and
who has the courage to speak his
honest convictions and keep you in
formed on all public questions. He
is conceded by friend and foe to be
the ablest writer in the South.
AS you probably know, Mr. Wat
son ran for President several years
ago on the Populist ticket and advo-
Gated parcel post, government owner
ship and other things that are now
favored and being enacted into law.
He is living years ahead of his time
Mr.. Watson is the one man that
w. J. Bryan refused to meet in Joint
debate. He introduced in Congress
the bill that made him father of
Rural Free Delivery.
Mr.. Watson is the man that was
prosecuted by the Roman Catholics
in the United States Court for pub
fishing and mailing the questions
asked girls by priests in the confess
sional. He is trying to thwart what
he believes to be the Catholics effort
to destroy our public schools and is
moving heaven and earth to keep
separate Church and State.
He has discovered the fact not
generally known by Protestants, that
there is an army 100000 strong and
armed, that could take Washington,
the President and his Cabinet in less
than day-a body of men whose
sworn allegiance is to foreign
poWer-the pope.
Post yourself and see the cloud
that hovers over our future.
Yours for the truth,

Yellowstone's "Fishpot."

In September last. says writer
in the September Wide World Mag
azine, Il made a trip through the
Yellowstone National Park, a verit-
able wonderland. One of the more
striking features is freak of Nature
called the 'Fishpot.' This 'Fishpot' is
rock formation-probably of vel.
canic origin-shaped like an inverted
cone, and several yards in circum-
ference. In the heart of the cone is a
pool of boiling water. and as the
'Fishpot' is just at the edge Of the
Yellowstone Lake. with the waters
of the lake partly surrounding it.
those who are lucky with the rod may
stand on the outer or rocky part Of
the cone, catch a fish in the cool
waters Of the lake, and. without re-
it from the hook, drop it into
the 'Fishpot' and boil it."
