 According to Dr. Williams state ment the type of the disease this year has been more virulant than for long time, there having been more deaths this year than for the preceed- ing six years, for the same cause.

WHICH d. D. w dlldCe, ~ STlZZlcu veteran of the Blue, who guarded David o. Dood the night before he was executed as Confederate spy, stood yesterday morning before the tablet dedicated to the Arkansas hero at the High School grounds, the pent up devotion and admiration of fifty years shook his frame and tears streamed from his eyes as he read the immortal lines of commendation
 The then young private in the Indiana regiment, knew David o. Dood only one nighttime night be- fore he was swept into eternity by the stern rules of war-but in that night spent with the courageous youth, he gained an insight into a rare morta. soul, and through the stretch of ! half century this admiration has gain ed and gained until the eptiome of bravery is summed in his mind with the words, David o. Dodd.
 Here On Business Mission
 Mir. Wallace came to Pine Bluff on property, coming here from his home, Exeter, Nebraska, and it was recalled to his mind that in this city live some wnO are near of kin to- the boyisE hero, and that it is only a few miles away where he spent the eventful vigil that led in the end to the gal lows. -'--e
 That the boyish Confederate soldier was executed, was due solely to the stern rules of warfare, and not to the wish of those who in obedience to orders, had to do with the trying ordeal. The federal officers and privates would gladly have seen Dodd go, so greatly did they admire his fine courage, his staunch courage in not betraying friendship and willingness to have life taken as forfeit to his faithfulness.
 It was with some reluctance that he gave finally the information con- corning the execution and day pre- vious, as the subject is one near to him, and when it was learned of his connection. he was brought in touch with Superintendent Junius Jordan, of the Public Schools, and Confed- crate veteran himself. There was cordial meeting between the former, wearers of the blue and the gray and :. together they repaired to the High School, where MT. Wallace under stood was a statute dedicated to Dodd. The statute in question, how ever, is dedicated to confederate soldiers, with tablet especially to David o. Dodd Mrs. Wallace, a sweet faced elderly woman, accomp- anied them.
 It was when viewing the tablet and reading the lines inscribed on it, that the aged veteran broke down, and sobbed time and again, "Oh that could have saved that boy"
 Over and over he read the lines seemingly in an effort to commit them to memory and as he read and

WHAT SWEEPING WILL
 DO FOR THE FIGURE


 Listen lntently while tell you of a new way to Improve the figure.
 If you are the unfortunate Iassie- who owns to waist that is both thick and short. betake you to the kitchen and seize upon the faithful broom. as it has just been discovered that sweeping will reduce a. fat waist and give 1t length.
 And this is not all that sweeping will do for one, am glad to say. It has been found that sweeping will make one as straight as a pine tree than which nothing Is straighter, as the Pacific Coast girl knows full well and develop the chest and arms. Surely one could ask nothing more Of the homely but useful broom. E One of the reasons why wOmankind objects to sweeping the floors, is be- cause Of the dust that is never satis- lied until it settles upon the hair and face Let not this trif1ing matter disturb you a whit as it is easily rerneda ed. [ would that I could an- swe, all objections as easily Instead of making household martyr of yourself, in the future don a coTnlnon- sense dust cap. Such cap is made mot of dfnsy muslin and 1ace-but Of heavy cotton cloth that is inpene- trab1e to dust.
 Be very sure, after slipping your head into this cap, ta1at 1t is pulled Sc far down on the forehead that not a strand of hair shows.
 Now. If you will open the windows before beginning your sweeping oper- affo7ss. you will see most of the dust float eszt into the open air. and what rexaains can do your hair no harm
 Let me ten you how to hold the broom, as there is d right and a wrong way Sweep with your back held erect, chest thrown out and abdomen drawn tn The top of the broom should be srasped by one hand and it's middle section by the other hand

HOW THE GOLDEN BEE
 HELPED THE FARMER.
Rv Virginia yaIe.l

Once upon a time the Water Lilly Fairy asked the Rose Fairy to come and spend the day with her. The Water Fairy lived on beautiful pond that was almost covered with large Ill., lies and in each lilly lived a white water fairy.
 The Rose Fairy was very glad to go and see them and dressed up in her pink dress and put a wreath of small roses She carried her new coat that the spider had just finished weav- ing and the Golden Rumble Bee offer ed to carry her safely to the pond and return for her when she was ready to go home.
 She arrived just in time for lunch and. after they had finished a lovely golden coach drawn by four green frogs. with bronze dragon flies for footmen, drew up in front of the Water Fairies home and they went for a drive around the pond. When they returned the little Rose Fairy was very tired and said she must take a nap so that she would be rested when it was time to go home
 The water Fairy took her to a shady place and told her to lie down inside the lilly and go to sleep and that she would take a nap too and when it wac time to go home she would be rested and enjoy the ride home.
 The Rose Fairy slept and soon the sun began to get ready to go to bed and very slowly the water lilly closed l it's petals, until it was almost shut, for
 you know, as soon as the sun goes tc 1 bed the lilies close up very tight and l don't open until the next day. 1 The Golden Bunnb1e Bee came for tn, ] xaazy and no one knew where she wss

 POL LICEMEN
Rv Mrs John H. Buclx.)


 The sllffra gfsts demonstrations in England probably surpass in defiance of law and organized society any dem sonstration that has ever taken place in an Eng1ish-speaking nation.
 Neither iA the Wilkes riots. the Lord Gordon riots, the more recent labor riots or the Home Rule riots have law and order been so unbridIed. And all thislin 9, country where Wo- men enjoy the franchise in larger measure than they do in the average of the forty-eight states of this repub- lie. The women of England are al-s ready permitted to vote generally and have for years been permitted to vote for elective officers charged with ex- ecutive and administrative duties.
 These riots of English women in their most conspicuous feature run parallel to the Haynarke riots Of Chi caeo in 1SS6 The venom and the hat suffragist riots, were directed at the police in particular and the courts and constituted authorities in general. There stands today in Haynarket Square a monument to the brave ofd- cers whose lives were sacrificed to the rnurderous inclination of those Cshica- go leaders who later paid the penalty on the gaIlows.
 Anarchy begets anarchy and riot promotes riot until the people arise in the majesty of their power and re- store the rule of law. A magistrate yesterday, in addressing one of these r11ilitants, said: sfSome day an exas- perated crowd, will break into a pro- cession of militants. What will then happen to you women, nobody knows att present. You have to thank the police for being alive. You owe them a. debt of gratitude.'' How long un- der existing conditions the police may be able to restrain the people and protect these suffra gist mobs against other mobs remains to be seen. But the time cannot be long.
 ssShoot the King" Why? Because he has deded the law or the people, 2 No Because law and government are centered in him as the head of a na- ton that has not approved the suf- fragist demands. His successor would be subject to the same assaults. These female anarchists want government not by a majority but by minority. If a majorfty of England believed that 1 the sum or human happiness would be increased by granting the suffra- gist demands, the majority would not hesitate. But unwilling to abide by majority rule without the ballot. what assurance have the people that these rniIitants would abide by majority rule with the ballot, whenever they found themselves in a srinority2 And yet these ni1itants and theil methods are not without their cham

I must not forget to tell you about my trip to the circus. The recent wis 1t Of Barnum & Bailey has reminded me of it.
 In those days going to the circus wasn't the simple thing that it now is For weeks we thought and dream ed about nothing else. We wonder ed if the clown and wire wal ker and sianese twins would still be there, and when the important day actually arrived we were most too excited to eat breakfast.
 When the circus grounds were at last reached, we found them crowded with the folk from miles and miles around. There weres the stand men Selling pink and green lemonade, while others were offering popcorn and balIccns.

TEACHER SAYS SHE IS OP- POSED TO TEACHING
 SEX HYGIENE.

In the August Woman's Home Com panion a Texas school teacher writes a letter in which she explains in part, as follows. why she is opposed to the schools:
 ''If a, child should come to me with a question I would answer him frank ly, but not before a. class of mixed students. Instruction in sex hygiene should come from the parent, or from some mature friend.
 While am sure I hold the love and confidence of some of my pupils, T. am not sure I hold the confidence of all to the extent that they would appreciate my discussing delicate sub- jects with them. I would not refuse a child information, but it would be given in confidence and by no means do I regard it my business to inform all my pupi1s in sex hygiene"

 No living thing disputes its sway. The swift wheels nangle, and crush
 and slay,
 Then leap unmindful on the track Ia reach the destined bivouac And the fragile craft that boldly rise Through wind swept clouds to upper
 skies,
 That sail, the uncharted ether sea, From all terrestrial limits free, Ahoat upon their trackless way They hear my call and they obey Gone. are the old time peaceful days Of pleasant work and f1resfde ways ;a AIoIoch reincarnate am I; Love, friendship. peace. I pass them

Of course he knew the lilies very well, so he asked them to help him find her. All at once he spied her curlad up in the lilly and just as the lilly was going to close the last petel he reached down and pulled out the sleeping Rose Fairy.
 It didn't matter about the Water Fairy as it was her bed time anyway.
 She had slept so hard and long that she had forgotten about her guest and was much mortified when she woke
 the next day and found she had caus- ed her little friend all that trou b1e. So she sent Fairy right/over to the Rose Fairy and told her how sorry she was The Rose Fairy laughed and said: sI guess it was my fault. We must thank the bee for his help.
