OLDEST OF EARTH'S CITIES
Damascus as Full of Life Today as
She Was in the Dawning Of the
Worlds History.

At last we are set down in the
midst of Damascus, a city that can
claim life without a break from its
founding back in the dim dawn of
the worlds history. When Abram
crossed the desert from Haran 1000
years ago this city was standing. (See
Gen. 14:15 and 15:2.) She dates back
to the time of the Pharaohs in Egypt;
in fact, she was old when Greece and
Rome we're striplings in years. Rome
may be termed the Eternal City"
but Damascus is twice as old, and
though her streets have run red with
blood of battle and rapine many
times, she has not been overthrown.
Babylon is an heap in the desert
and Tyre a ruin on the Shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such a place to see
the nations of the earth parading to-
gether? Here in the market place are
motley crowds of Persians, Moors,
Afghans, Indians, Egyptians, Sudan
csc, Jews, Bedouins, Druses, Turks,
Europeans. The streets-so crooked,
so narrow, so dirty, so full of life,
with that strange spell of the desert
upon them! The residences as seen
from the street are ugly and disap-
pointing enough, yet, like old barns
and tumble-down mills at home, are
fascinating and picturesque.-Chris
tian Herald.

MATTER FOR SOME THOUGHT
Decidedly One Of These Two Had the
Wrong impression, but Where Is
Expert That Can Decide?

Who told the truth?
They met in the subway n morn
ing, a young mother and a young pro-
fessional woman. They had been
friends at school, but aeons had pass
ed, and now, after some ten years,
they began to discuss their present
jobs-of motherhood and journalism.
However, journalism seemed to fill
most of the time, and motherhood was
dismissed after a few desultory Ques-
lions about Billy" whose fame o
sisted in being seven years old and
just entering school.
"oh, tell me about your work" said
the mother.
There is quite a bit to tell of it,"
said the egotistical woman of bust
ness, and Immediately launched upon
the joys, woes, disadvantages and ad'
vantages of the business woman's ca
reer.
"Myi But that is most interesting
said the mother, whose eyes were
popping out of her head at the mere
mention of the famous persons the
journalist knew, 81 certainly shall
buy your magazine and read it,"
Grand Central Station!" mumbled
the guard.
"Goodby," said the mother. "Youl
life is certainly worth while"
"Goodby," replied the journalist
mot nearly as much worth while a
yours"

BASEBALLlSTS HERE
 GLAD WITH CAPITAL
Little Rocks Return to Southern League and Judge kavanaugll's
 Reelection Please.

Pine Bluff baseball fans learned with much pleasure Sunday that the Southern league had reelected as It's president Judge w. M. Kavanaugh ol Little Rock, and that the Montgomery franchise in the association had been transferred to the Arkansas capital.
 Because it is but short distance to Little Rock from this city, the pres ence of league baseball of high stand ing in the capital will afford local fans many an opportunity to witness exhibitions of their favorite sport For this reason particularly local tans have lively interest in the change made in the Southern league.
 Judge Kavanaugh is known person ally to many residents of Pine Blum and by reputation to all baseball fans of this section. Few men have at- tained as high position in profes- sional baseball, and his opinions on moot points of the game, especially as relate to the laws of the game, are of great value to the many men wno are at the head of the sport. Ills reelection as president of the South- ern league is distinct comphmen' to the man-who deservedly bears the title, prince of clean sportsmen and to the city and state of Whlch he is resident. No man has done more to maintain the fairness, cleanliness and integrity of baseball, the greal American national game, than Has Judge Kavanaugh.

Entertained by Members of First Methodist Church
 Board Last Night.
SPEAKS TO HUNDREDS
Venerable Chnrehman, Who Has Preached for Fifty-One Years, Stirs Congregations
 Sunday.

Bishop H. c. Morrison of tho Methodist church. who is the guest of Rev. James Thomas, was enter tained at an informal dinner party at the Hotel Jefferson last night, by the members 0 the official board oi the First Methodist church.
 Bishop Morrison leaves Wednesday for Batesville. where he will preside ever the White River conference Of Rock, to preside over the Arkansas state conference.
 The bishop preached strong ser mon at the First Methodist church at the Sunday morning services, there being present a congregation which filled the spacious edifice. The bishops remarks made visible inn pression upon his hearers, and the points he stressed appeared to fall on fruitful ground. At the night service at the Lakeside church, Bish- op Morrison again preached, the congregations of four churches of Pine Bluff joining in union services for the occasion.
 
 arranged that the members of the board might become personally ac- ouainted with the bishop. Short talks by several of those present were en- joyed, but the bishops "reminiscences, which made up the substa ance of his talk, were found most interesting. The bishop recalled that he is now 72 years of age, and that he has been preaching steadily since before lie was 21, more than fifty years of ac- tive service for the Lord The Bish- op said he was converted at camp meeting and joined the church when he was IA years of age. His home is at Leesburg. Fla, and he has been away from home this trip about six weeks. After the conference at Lit I le Rock. he goes west for number of conferences, as far as New Mexico and will not return home for another six weeks. |

 Mrs. F. M. Smith, 1105 Alabama street, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: "I have had symptoms of weak kidneys the greater part of my life. suffered from a steady, dull ache in my back and at times I had awful shooting pains through my loins. I had rheu- matic twinges in my arms and shoulders and my kidneys acted too freely. A relative advised me to try Doans Kidney Pills and few doses soon relieved me. I kept on using them and I took about six boxes in all. My back hasn't bothered me near as much since and I have felt better"

COURTS TANGLED
 IN HODGES CASE
County Tribunal Restrains Execution When Governor
 Declines to Interfere.

Little Rock, Nov. 9.-The latest legal action to save Arthur Hodges from the electric cilair-a restrainino order to prevent his execution Satur- day, in order that the Pulaski coun. i ty probate court may have chanc. to pass upon tha sanity of the [ murderer, is causing no little :. feeling among state, and penitentiary and court officials.
 Governor G. W. Hays is provoked at the action of Chancellor J. E. Mar tineau in granting the restrainina order, and the making of it return able several days after the date he had set for the execution. He has gone into the Hodge case thorough ly, and convinced himself that Hod- ges was not insane at the time he killed the Clark county officer, who had arrested him for trivar offence. He was instrumental in securing a trial for Hodgs before saniy experts, after he had twice been sentenced to death, and after the supreme court had several times passed upon the matter, especially that touching on HIS SdullJ, dCFCi HUT nays @dS Cl lIt: opinion that the law should be per- mitted to take it's course, and the mandae of the highest court Of the state should not be set aside by the order of lower court.
 It is a question if the chancery court can prevent the execution and the supreme court may be asked 10 pass upon the matter between now and Saturday. Attorney Moose has already been called into the case and whatever kind of opin- ion he renders will probably be pass ed upon by the supreme court before Saturday.
 The penitentiary commission is in a dilemma. It is liable for contempt Of court, no matter which court order it honors, but the commissioners hope that if they are convicted of contempt, that they will be required to serve their sentence in the peni- tentiary. The commission is known to look upon the electrocutlon Of white men with disapproval, and ID white man has yet been executed in the penitentiary, but if the courts agree upon the execution of Hodges, they will do their duty

SIXTH AVENUE BOYS
 LOST ID HIGH THIRD
4,ntweighed Several Pounds, the Grammar School Boys Unable to
 Hold Opponents.

Coach Bassett's third team of the Pine Bluff High school had very little trouble in defeating the team from the sixth Avenue school yesterday af- ternoon at the Athletic field by the score of 25 to 6. The lads from Sixth Avenue were outweighed several hounds by the third team, and could mot stop the terrific line smashing and end runs of the third team boys. This is the second game these two teams have played this season and the third team has won 10th of them The Sixth Avenue boys did not put up as good a game as they did in the first time the teams met, and did not put much life in their play.
 Captain Shelby of the Sixth Avenue team made long run and made the only score for his team. Late in the game Byrd made long run but the little fellows failed to score.
 The real stars for Sixth Avenue were Newland at quarter, who put "pep" in his team and ran his plays we'll Shelby, Byrd and Collins were the ground gathers, while Hooker and OConnor played we'll on defense.
 Truck" Hart, at quarter for the third team, used excellent judgment in running his plays, always picking his men and running interference we'll Bishop and JCrump made all the scores, but they wefe ably assisted by Moore and Adams. List, Hinslee, Mead, Ingram and Whitener did noble work on defense. Bishop, fullback. had a good day, making three of the four touchdowns. His line smashing was easily the feature of the game.
