TIME TO DRIVE BARGAIN
Promise of This Needed Im- provement, It is Said, Would Remove Much of the Present Opposition to Annexation of Pulaski Heights to Little Rock.

One of the improvements promised in a communication from President Cantrell of the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company to the City Council of Little Rock in return for con- sessions asked by that company is the extension of the double track to Forest Park and a con- tribution to the permanent im- provement of Prospect avenue, which President Cantrell esti- mates will cost $30,000.
 If the committee having in charge the annexation project will bring the necessary pres sure to bear upon the Little Rock officials to induce them to make it worth while for the street railway company to make this improveemnt in Pulaski Heights, which the com pany seems willing to do, it would do much to remove such opposition as there is to the an- nexation of Pulaski Heights to Little Rock.
 It is the opinion that Pulaski Heights has much more to gain in return for it's consolidation with the larger city if the bar gain is driven at the right time and this is the right time.

POETIC WISH OF THE MARY
 LANES.

In presenting a cut glass and sterling silver cheese dish on behalf of the Mary Jane Club of Pulaski Heights, to Mrs. Marga- ret E. Stockman, who was mar ried on Wednesday to J. w. Robb of Clinton, Ind, the fol- lowing was read by Mrs. Chas. s. Hanley: When Mary Jane was tiny tot She learned a tale she ne'er for
 got; A difficulty once arose Between two cats, the story
 goes, About dividing up some cheese. Each greedy cat was hard to
 please. So to Judge Monkey they re-
 paired To have their treasure justly
 shared. What happened next, you must
 recall, How old Judge Monkey ate it
 all. Well, Mary Jane, in later days Has learned of Man, his many
 ways, And, since you leave us for a
 MAN, We're doing, sister, what we
 can. Your presence we shall greatly
 miss, But, Sister Jane, hark unto this j: Whenever cheese comes to your
 table, Remember, then, the little fable ]; And, lest Judge Monkey turk
 about To snatch" when you're not
 looking out, Just put your cheese into this
 dish, Which comes to you with loving
 wish. The little knife will cut both
 ways, Insuring you for all your days Immunity from such a fate As did for those poor kitties
 wait. So, future sunshine, minus rain, Is the ardent wish of Mary
 Jane.

Boats That Travel on Land.

The unsophisticated visitor to the
lumber districts of Canada may oc-
casionally see what is to him a very
remarkable sight, a notwithstanding
steamboat high and dry on a road,
crawling along quite comfortably, ap-
parently just as much at home as in
its natural element These boats are
known as "alligators," and are used
for towing the RATS of logs down the
rivers and lakes to the mills. Some
times 1t is desired to transfer one of
these craft TO a new sphere Of opera
tions, which can only be reached over
land, and the boat is then hauled out
of the water, placed upon rollers, and
travels to its destination by means Of
its own power-Christian Science

centuries of striving and experiment.
In both devices the one obstacle
which for so many hundreds of years
prevented success was the problem of
motive power. This is shown as par
ticularly true since the installation of
modern gasoline motor in the old
Langley cellular plane" proving the
correct.
Thus we find that the underwater
boat built by Frenchman named De
Son in the early seventeenth century
was a complete success except that it
would not run.
The De Son vessel, built at Rotter-
dam, was 70 feet in length, with a
maximum height of IL feet and beam
of feet, tapering to points at the end,
being not unlike the modern sub
marine in many Of it's lines.
De Son designed his boat to operate
under water with a clockwork motor
and to hold an air supply for the crew
sufficient for three hours. The clock
work was supposed to turn a large
paddle wheel and propel the boat for
eight hours on one winding.
This quaint submarine was armed
with iron pointed at the ends, with
which to ram ships and crush their
hulls under water.
De Son had unlimited faith in his
vessel and expressed it in the follow
ing flow of ancient press agency, as
translated from an old Dutch print:
"The inventor of this ship will un-
dertake to destroy in a single day a
hundred vessels, and such destruction
could not be prevented by fire, storm,
bad weather or the force of the waves,
saving only that the Almighty should
otherwise will it. Vain would it be
for ships lying in harbor to be regard
ed as safe, for the inventor could
reach anywhere unless prevented by
betrayal. None but him could control
the craft. Therefore it may truly be
called the lightning of the sea. is
power shall be proved by trip to t4a
East Indies in six weeks or to Fra,
and back in a day, for fast as a bird
tiieth can one travel in this boat"
However, when the boat wac
launched it refused to move. The
torque of the clock motor was not able
to turn the paddle wheel propeller in
water, although the air test had been
promising.
But from this seed of thought today
the world has submarines which can
run nine knots an hour under the sea
many hours and which have a cruising
range of nearly 5000 miles.

was a genuine relief, for they en-

Inc Puritan EalIacy.

A modern young poet named Con,
rad Aiken is versifying about a
steamer trip on Long Island sound,
and he finds the night full of Beauty
so keen 1t seemed it must have sinned
-" Il is odd TO encounter at this
late day so perfect an expression of
the great Puritan fallacy. the notion
that loneliness and sensitiveness are
more apt to be wrong, and somberness
and hardness right; that Joy in life is
closely allied to wickedness, and that
a sad spirit is almost necessarily
righteous. This doctrine is part of
the once general creed that life on this
earth is less a spiritual experience
than the carrying out of a hard tech
meal contract-and that creed is
wrong. The New England frame of
mind has contributed some great
qualities to our national character, but
has failed to see clearly that the beau
ty of the earth is anything more than
a temptation to the human soul. This
failure has had the most serious con-
sequences In discrediting religious
faith and in imposing hypocrisy upon
morals. II is part OF the real business
of our day to shake on these dusts of
doctrine and to see this world for what
II is, a home for the heart and soul OF
