Little Rock-The action of Bell telephone operators in sticking to their posts during serious fire at Uniontown, Pa. in which a hotel ad- joining the telephone exchalg ge was completely destroyed and other build ings in the block damaged to the ex- tent of st00,000. has occasioned en. thusiastic tribute from citizeus of that town.

Found. a Volunteer.

A certain member Of the municipal
court Of Paris has been tireless In his
activities in behalf Of the less for
tunate inhabitants Of his arrondisse-
ment or ward. He makes tour each
morning Of the streets Of his crowded
quarter of the town to see what peo-
pie in trouble he can help. He directs
also q soup kitchen. The other day
he learned that the cook was gone.
IN spite Of his somewhat advanced age
this valuable assistant had enlisted In
the army-or married wife or some:
thing-anyway, he had vanished. The
councilman secured the town for q
substitute. In vain. Never mind. the
poor folks must not lack their soup.

WORLDS FAVOR VERY TICKLE
Sale Of Treasured TrInket Owned by
Great Actress Shows the Value
Of Sentiment.

The name OF Fanny Davenport was
for years a household word. Young
collegians put her photographs on the
mantlcpiece or In the edge Of O look
ing glass. Born into famous theatre
cal family, she brilliantly played parts,
and appearing In dramas by Sardou was
popularity known as the American
Sarah Bernhard.
Personal property belonging to Miss
Davenport was sold at auction In
New York short time ago. A locket
containing her portrait and lock Of
her mothers hair was put up. Miss
Davenport had worn It constantly dur
ing the last years Of her life. The
locket itself was valuable. There was
a bid of one dollar and seventy-five
cents. The auctioneer was dumb with
establishment. Finally he gathered
himself together and said that there
must be some misunderstanding.
Miss Davenport loved 1t better than
her life. She never took 1t from her
neck while she was living and died
with 1t clasped next to her heart, for
It contained the love token Of her
mother. Again think Of sentiment and
its value. How much am ! offered
now?"' Someone bid two dollars and
thus possessed 1t. Sentiment brought
twenty-five cents.

Tho freshman Scored.

Tht duke of Connaught tells good
story against himself. Some years
ago when he was raised to the posi-
ton of lieutenant-colonel of the
First Rifle brigade, the late Queen
Victoria commanded that he should
only be saluted as a regimental OFF,
Ger, and not as q member of the royal
family.
On one occasion, however, an Irish
sentry, seeing the duke and duchess
approaching, turned out the guard
and gave the royal salute.
The duke was much annoyed and
proceeded to give the sergeant in
charge a piece Of his mind.
But the quick.witted Irishman was
equal to the occasion.

Did you ever pass a little kid
on the street and have him gaze
wistfully up at you until you
passed by, and then turn around
and find him still looking at you
with those appealing little eyes!
Indeed you have, and it is an
everyday occurrence right here
in this town. 1t wouldn't do us
"grownups" a bit of harm to give
a kindly word to these little fell
lows as we meet them, and it
would do them a world of good.
A bright smile and a cheerful
word to them will flood their
hearts with the sunshine of life
and lift them up to that higher
plane which creates men among
men.

Hobo Among Flowers.

The great bindweed, a first-cousln
to the morning glory, Is d hobo among
flowers. It travelled up and down the
lanes Of world trade for centuries,
until It has come to claim most Of the
northern hemisphere for its abiding
place. 1t loves wayside hedges and
thickets, where It climbs over every
thing in its fight for the survival Of
the flttest; but 1t knows no Joy great
er than getting into 4 eornfeld, where
It can use the stalks as q nature
built trellis for its wanderings. 1t
flowers from June until September.
It keeps solid hours, getting up with
the rising sun and going to bed when
the sun goes down, except on moon
light nights, when It keeps open house
for the benefit Of certain moths that
are its especial friends.

housewife uses its leaves in packing
away garments Of winter to keep out
the tiny cloth moths Of summer. It Is
also believed to be bane to cock

Winning Philosophy.

While Francis Ouimet's golf wasn't
quite so good, or nearly SO good as
1t generally Is, in the recent open
championship his rare philosophy was
still better than par.
II played badly" he said, but I
could have played worse. But that
part Of it didn't matter. l had a cork
ing good time, which is what / play
golf for. l don't ever want to win an
other championship II winning one IL
going to spoil my week. For some
times you can win, and sometimes you
can't, but in the end you generally get
what is coming"
>"When you are at the top Of your
game" added ouimet, the game plays
itself. And when you are not at the
top Of your game you are not going
to win, and It is worse than foolish to
fret or bother about 1t, since there
Is nothing to be done except to take
what you get"

Weapons Of War.

Military men are taught how to

tured guns useless. II q small

of and the barrels destroyed as much
as possible. To do this the rifles
are we'll heated over a fire and
smashed up with heavy hammers. The
army hand books lay down that party
OF FIVE soldiers should be able TO
destroy so rifles an hour.
Ammunition is destroyed by plac-
ing It in q deep pit and setting 1t on
fire.
Telegraph wires are cut up into
small pieces and the poles cut down
and broken up.

Il Is a startling fact that II some ami
mails could tell their life they would

Russian eagle, for instance. would be

soldiers under Napoleon fell exhaust
ed out OF the ranks in their awful re-
treat from Moscow in 1872. There are
crooodiles alive In India today which
saw the FIRST English traveller set
foot there, while there are whales In
the sea which may have skirted the
coast OF France when the British In
vaded It in 1415. A great many elo-
plants could recall historical events
Of hundred years ago, while there are
ravens still living whose memory
could 60 back twice that period.

many others of the greatest in
veutors of America to serve on

A TNiCe-TOId Tale
One Of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitate
ed to believe it at first hearing,
we feel secure in accepting its
truth now. The following ex-
perience of a Baxter Springs
man is confirmed after eight
years.
Kelly Carmichael, Sheridan
ST., Baxter Springs, gave the
following account of his expert
ence in February 1907. He said:
I'm the winter / felt a hurting
in the small of my back through
my kidneys. Whether it was
caused by a cold or strain, l
couldn't say, but / do know it was
very annoying. When l saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised,
/ started using them. They were
lust what / needed and put my
back in good shape. I had no
further trouble"
On March IS, 1915, Mr.. Car
michael added: my kidneys have
given me no discomfort since l
used Doan's Kidney Pills and
naturally, still have great con-
fidence in this medicine"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the
same that Mr.. Carmichael had.
