A Changed State.

Aunt Polly dearly loved her pipe and conld not be persuaded to give it up. She argued that her kin folks before her had always smoked.
 She was pious old soul, so the new minister decided to appeal to her to quit smoking by talking of her future home in heaven.
 Aunt Polly" he said, don't you know that the good book says that nothing unclean can enter the King dom of Heaven? What will you do when you are refused admittance be- cause your breath is polluted with tobacco? Now what have you to say to that Aunt Polly?" he sternly de- handed.
 Aunt Polly puffed away, while she calmly looked the minister over.
 Then, taking her pipe from her mouth, she answered. What I have to say to that, young man, is that 'spects to leave my breath behind when 1 goes to Heaven"

'In the early 70's 1 was given up to die," remarked Col. Samuel w. For dyce when in a reminescent mood at dinner given recently at Hot Springs "and number of doctors told my rel atives that it was only question of days. 1 was a resident of Alabama at the time, and 1 just simply refused to die. came to Hot Springs in stead. 1 came in such condition that the negro who accompanied me had to use stringent remedies to keep me alive until 1 got to this city. was in bed for several weeks, but I final ly regained strength sufficient to creep about little. I stayed until had gained 20 pounds in flesh. The next year I came back and put on 20 more pounds, and I have been here a great deal of the time ever since Since my first visit I have assisted in financing and building 10000 miles of railroad-enough to reach from New York to San Francisco and back again, but have never discovered any place that looked like Hot Springs and Arkansas to me. When the wat CTS of place have added over fifty years to my life is it wonder that I am so grateful to this city.
 ''I am the only man I know of who served on two sides in the Civil war;" concluded the distinguished Arkansan "I fought with the Federal army, but have been a Confederate ever since."

RKATTA" WILL BE RE-
 PRODUCED IN DECEMBER
Spectacular Extravanganza by Jno. C. Small Will be Staged Again at Close Holidays-Help Needy
 Newspaper Men of l.. R.

The Arkatta, the spectacular ex- travanganza from the pen of John c. Small, president of the Little Rock Press Club, will be reproduced at the close of the Christmas holidays, un- der the auspices of the Press Club. The proceeds will go to a fund which will be maintained for the assistance of the needy newspaper men of Little Rock. The Club is now doing much in the way of charitable work which does not reach the eyes of the public but its new venture will not be in the way so much of charity as in render ing financial assistance when sorely needed. 1t is planned to make loans to newspaper men without security, for short periods, and while it might not be considered good banking, the directors of the Club do not fear that the interest fund will deteriorate through failure on the part of their colleagues to live up to their promises.
 It was the Little Rock Press Club that set such high standard for the entertainment of the editors of the Arkansas Press Association, but Hot Springs equaled the record of the Little Rock Press Club at the Press Day of the Fair, and probably eclipsed it a tiny bit. On the showing made Hot Springs would be given the 1916 meeting had Pine Bluff not already been pledged this meeting,

PROUTY AND THE

New York Sun

| New York Sun
 After practically admitting the rail road need of the rate relief which the Interstate Commerce Commission af- tr it's fashion is presumabely trying to find reasons for refusing. Mr. Prouty very imrpactically postpones an official determination of the neces- sity until it would certainly be too late to da railroad credit any good If the carriers have to wait upon the val uation which Mir. Prouty is engaged in directing, they might as well throw up thefi nancial sponge. Mir. Prouty be completed before the middle of the year 1919.
 The railroads never are, but always to be blessed by their benevolent reg ulators.
 In general, the effect of govel nment egulation of the railroads has been to bring them to the verge of refusal of further support by private capital because the investor is not satisfied with the protection afforded to his pro- perty under regime of government supervision which all but amounts to government management.
 To it's dismay commission govern ment has found that while it may con- trol the railroads it cannot control the investor. The avowed public policy geing what it is, commission govern ment has probably reached pass Where it must recognize the inves tors judgement in assessing railroad credit and the elements which go to make it. The Interstate Commerce Commission may therefore conclude | that the time for a general increase in freight rates as much more immi- ys- z
