MOST ABLE MEN NOT LARGE
Only Medium or Even Less in Size.

We are inclined to look up to the physically big man, not only literally but there is always certain presump- ton in his favor that he must be cor respondingly strong mentally, says writer in Popular Mechanics. People make room for him; they attach more importance usually to what he says than to the same words uttered by an undersized man. We unconsciously picture in our minds the bayonet charge and storming of the trenches as the work of large men. The boy dreams of having a football physique and little sister worships her big brother.
 Other abilities being equal, the large man has a positive advantage over the small man. And yet many, if not the majority of the great men of the world have been only of medium build and not a few were even undersized.
 A certain large city in this country had for years made it a rule not to employ in it's fire department any but large men. The result was a small army of athletes which never failed to cause a positive thrill when ever they went on parade. They dis tinctly represented the day of physi- cal might.
 For some years past the inventive mind has been busy, and very suc- cessfully, to produce apparatus which never tires, and calculated to trans fer to a great extent the hard work from muscle to machine. The evi- dences of this evolution may be seen now the fire engine drawn by volun- teers and worked with hand brakes must be looked for in museums of strange mechanics of the past. In it's place is the self-propelled gas-engined machine, carrying it's own hose and capable of highly effective work with only two men, and ladder trucks by means of which one small man ma- nipulating some short levers can in a few seconds raise great ladders to dizzy heights, or pour deluge of water into tenth-story windows while standing in the street below. Hence it has come about that the man small of stature, but nimble of body and alert of mind is not only the peer, but often the superior of the giant in build. There yet remains some work for the big athletes, but it is growing less each year, and the man whom nature has not endowed with great strength is coming into his own.

Alexander of Little Rock made favorable comparisons for Arkansas with other states and dwelt on immigration. Theo Maxfield pio- neer merchant of Batesville. talked on river traffic and freight rates Judge Eugene Lankford of DeVall's Bluff minutely discussed advantages of river Improvement and it's relationship to railroads. Railroad Commissioners T. E. Wood and Mcdonald confined their brief remarks to the same topics.

Could Snare Her.

Tommy's mother was an invalid, so his Aunt Lavinia looked after him and the house. And she never missed a chance of pointing out a fault or ex- pounding a precept
 "Oh, dear," said Tommy one day, after auntie had lectured him for ten minutes, q wish I had wings!"
 Why, my pet?" asked mother, pleased at this angelic inspiration.
 ''Oh, I'd fly up in the air with Aunt Lavinia, and I'd fly and fly till l couldn't get any higher"
 Yes, dear" said mother proudly, as the little chap paused impressively. What would, you do then?"
 "Fd drop Aunt Lavinia!" said Tom my savagely-Stray Stories.

SAYS DARDANELLES
 CANNOT BE FORGED
WEBER PASHA DECLARES FAIL. URE OF ALLIES IS OBVIOUS
 TURKS IN GOOD CONDITION.
OCCUPANCY IS DIFFICULT
Little Activity Shown by Each Side During Daytime-Turks Prefer
 Night Bayonet Attacks,

Krithia.-Allied troops, who landed st Seddul Bahr, on the Gallipoli PenIn- sula, hold about 10 square miles of the extreme southern part of the pe- ninsula. The occupancy is coupled with the greatest difficulties.
 The ground held by the allies con- sists principally of a small plateau north of Seddul Bahr and two ad- joining ridges to the northwest, be- tween which the Turks are pushing advance trenches.
 The Associated Press correspond ents, who spent two days in the trenches, found the Turkish troops in excellent condition and spirits, in spite of the fact that the allies are using every conceivable means to carry on the operations, including bombs thrown from catapults and from aeroplanes.
 During the day time both sides are usually inactive, the Turks preferring night bayonet attacks Many Turk ish batteries are in position, but the nearness of the opposing trenches makes their work very difficult and for the most part they are directing their attention to the reserves of ths allies and to changing shifts which are exposed at certain points. 'The Turks in this have the support of their heavy batteries on the Asiatic side, which since the rentirement of the allied fleet work without fear of being molested, bombarding chiefly the allied right wing, composed of French, home and colonial troops.
 The number of wounded at the hos pital bases at the front was small, aI- though the fighting during the night had been fairly severe
 Weber Pasha, the German general commanding the south group, gave the correspondent every opportunity to visit the Saddul Bahr district, placing no restrictions whatever upon the cor respondents movements.
 The result was a thorough inspec- tion of the ground. Weber Pasha made no comment on the situation himself beyond saying that "the fall- ure of the allies to consummate their plan of forcing the Dardanelles is too obvious for discussion.
 Weber Pasha, who is member of the German military mission which undertook the improvement of the O.- toman army organization is fully con- fldent that the Turks will be able to meet the Gallipoli situation and that the allies will never advance against the Dardanelles forts.

Lucas, who resides and owns several hun dred acres of the base of the moun- tain, fails in his endeavor to purchase it from the government
 Upon request of MT. Lucas, who has homesteaded a large tract of land ly- ing along the foot of the mountain, and who has come to realize the future value of the same, Hon. James w.. Neal of Jackson, Miss, special land agent of the government, came here to look over Sugar Loaf for the pur- pose of getting an idea as to it's in trinsic value before appraising 1t, which is required before making a sale. He was accompanied by a par ty of representative citizens of Heber Springs, who served as guides in climbing the mountain, from the top of which may be had one of the most beautiful panoramic views of North Arkansas, due to the peculiarly rare formation of the crest, which but one large solid stone capping the entire area and surrounded by a growth of mountain shrubbery.
