Among the anecdotes told about the late David Pepper Is an interest ing one relating to Liszt. It Is well known that many of the pages at, tributed to Liszt were really written
 by the Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein. The most fragrant instance was the insertion by her in one of his books of some pages attacking the Jews and advising their deportation in a body to Palestine. Liszt was greatly annoyed at this, for such sentiments were entirely foreign to his character. and many of his best friends were Jews; among them David Pepper. the famous violoncellist. Not long after the appearance of the book re- ferred to Pepper made a call on Liszt, who was delighted to see him, and asked when he came and where he was going. T am on the way to Palestine. dear master. in accordance with your wishes." was the prompt answer.

STUTTERER IN HARD LUCK
Cure May se Effected, but the Process- --ls . Slow One, and Uncertain
 In. Its Effect.

There Is no cure for stuttering. This does not mean that ho stutterer can be cured-far from it3-but that there is no treatment whichsis sure, to cure. If a stutterer be taken in child hood, where the afliction is first no ticed, and carefully treated, he can sometimes be cured, and generally much improved.
 Dr. Frank A. Bryant of New York, writing in the Medical Record, says the first thing to do is to make sure that there are no Instructions in throat or nose, such as enlarged ton sils or adenoids. The child must be taught to breathe through the nose, deeply and slowly, as a habit. He must not be allowed to speak when ex- cited. nor when laughing or crying or in the paroxysms of whooping cough. He must never be tickled. All causes of excitement must be re- moved. Fresh air, scrupulous clean liness, plain, nourishing food. moder. ate exercises and plenty of sleep in 8 dark room are essential. Mental treatment Is of great importance. Any measures that will increase men, tai poise are of incomparable value
 The stutterer must be impressed with a desire to overcome what is only a bad habit. He must be persuaded to study the great art of speaking cor rectly. Thus. by careful. patient work on the part iof his parents, teachefs and physicians, will he gradually cure himself. or at least so improve as to make the afliction cease to be se- rtouss tses .h.

co TON TRADE OF ENGLAND
Origin of Great Industry Can B. Traced Back to Beginning of !
 Seventeenth Century.

The cotton trade of Lancashire. England, dates back to the very be- shining of the seventeenth century. A petition of 1921, preserved in the state papers, mentioned the infancy of the Industry; for there the petition ing London merchants stated that about 20 years divers people in this Kingdom, but chiefly in the county of Lancaster. have found out the trade of making of other fustians made of ! kind of bombast, or down. being ! fruit of the earth, growing upon littlS shrubs or bushes. brought into this Kingdom by the Turkey merchants from Smyrna.

4 DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

 Here in Hot Springs we kndw somee thing -of~ Dr, Greene, not personally, but through results.
 When Dr. Greene took charge of the insane asylum, which. in truth is the institution, our city ahds county jails were filled with insane. Our pro rata in the institution was filled all ways and our surplus awaiting trans ! fer. i Incidentally, our county is hot over- productive of insane, but conditions , here as resort create the situation. D.. Greene immediately ordered the . transfer of all insane persons forth , with to the insane asylum. He found : a place for them because he made a , place for them.
 "Never keep a mentally unbalanced person in jail an hour longer than is necessary to get them legally. to me-" . was his order. Dr Greene knew the science of dis ordered minds He knew that jail oc- , cupancy was bad for we'll minds, and worse for feeble minds If he was to effect cures, to do good for humanity, to restore reason through scientific process, he wanted his patients in as good condition as possible,

 We of Arkansas soon came to boast of the best institution in the country flor the feeble minded. Results only proved this was true. As-s l' ! We had heard some time ago that pr. Greene wanted to get, away from his work. He has been for eighteen years in the work of restoring un- sound minds. He is, a most able, phy- sician, and for awhile he considered coming to Hot Springs to practice medicine. It is our loss that he did not decide to do so after resigning from the state work ... : Arkansas owes Dr. Greene a debt of gratitude for the work he has ac- complished. Dr. Frank B. Young, who succeeds him, may carry along the work we'll, but it, will always be to the credit of Dr.. Greene that, it was he who took the work out of the dld rut, who established the pTeee- dents, and who set the standards for the future.-Hot Springs Sentinel Record. i.-'s'.|..-'' '.'
 Arkansas does undoubtedly owe a debt of gratitude. to pr. Greene, whose services have probably been of more value to the state than those those of any other man within gen eration. But Arkansas also owes something else to coterie of peanut politicians whose petty >annoyances and pusillanimous attacks made his position so unpleasant that pr. Greene finally resigned.

A mean time clock, that is, a
clock regulated to show average
time, is based on the idea OF the
sun being on the equator and
moving at precisely with the real
average rate OF the true sun in
it's apparent orbit-the real orbit
OF the earth. But astronomers
with accurate instruments do not
secure absolute time from the
transits of the huge sun across
their meridian, but with far more
accuracy by observing transits OF
minute needle points. the images
OF stars across spider threads in
the focal planes of their transit
telescopes.
The sun never reaches the zen

through great Spsmical causes.
these maxima as given above are

1t is exactly what the Roman

Democratic campaign committee,
and Champ Clark, the great
Democratic Speaker of the House
of Representatives stand up to
put themselves on record for the
Democratic platform and the
Democratic vote. against the dra-
matte and arrogant Executive de-
mand, there is bound to come a
reckoning at the polls for these
meek men, chosen to be represen-
tatives Of the people, who have no
will or judgment of their own.
but follow blindly the edict OF the
one man who represents the 9TH
er branch of the Government.
In the Reign of the Stuarts.
In the early reign OF the Eng
lish Stuarts it was the custom
that a counselor impeached by
the Commons could secure abso-
luton from the Ling and fling
into the face of his, accusers the
imperial pardon of his sovereign.
Later in the reign it was estab-
lished in limitation OF the mon
archy that a counselor accused
by the Commons could find no
refuge in imperial absolution, but
must stand or fall upon the mer-
its of his case.
And so, when the great com
mons Of the people in November
shall present their impeachment
charges against the Representa-
tives who have repudiated their
platform and the peoples WILL no
imperial pardon-no ukaSe from
the autocrat of the White House
will serve trcm in this judg
ment hour.
They must stand or fall upon
the record they have made OF
representative loyalty and repre-
sentative liberty.

TT was 1898 years ago that the

Hurt by the nar-owness and
ingratitude of the King of Portu-

Starting from Spain in August,
1919, in November of the follow

A.-The sun is worse than a

First-The orbit OF the earth

in the center of it. but to one side,
at distance OF 1,55T149 miles.
Therefore, the earth travels fast

slower when most distant, This
renders sun clocks useless for
any scientific purpose.
Second-The sun is always in

earth. but this plane is 20 - de-
