coin. If either of these two kingdoms
should march against the other, if its
armies should lay level with the earth
the battlements and towers of its en-
emy-why, that would but bury the
deeper the secret which alone ami
mated either in the quest of conquest.
AS for any offense against Grahof-
fen, however, what could Michael the
weak have done now, with his right
hand man, his ablest general, his best
man of affairs, gone? He hesitated as
to means of the offensive, just as his
chief rival pondered the results pos
sible, even of a successful offensive.
Meantime, the truth remained that
the key to all this coil was absent, nor
was she apt to return. Kitty Gray
certainly must cherish a keen memory
of injuries she had known on these
shores. The armies of America might
come back, the ships of America might
anchor in these ports, their guns might
exact apology or tribute-but Kitty
Gray herself would not return, that
was sure. Therefore affairs halted.
The battle was arrested as though the
sun had halted midway of the heavens
in modern Ajalon.
Yet, not so far away, as actual dis
tance is measured, the two principals
of this play still lived. Kitty and
Count Frederick were separated from
the rival kingdoms by not so many
leagues of the sea, yet they knew not
where they were more than did any
of these others. The sea which
stretched between the two lands was
narrow enough in fact, yet potentially
it lay immeasurably wide.

MILK INSPECTION
 PLAN IS APPROVED
Physicians, Especially, Are
 OutspoKen in Stressing . Need for This Service.

The action of the city council at it's regular session Monday night, in deciding to establish a system of in- spection and grading of the milk sold in this city. has apparently met with the approval of the greater number of the residents of the city, judging from the comments yesterday on the mat ter.
 Especially were the praeticing phy- sicians of the city outspOken in their expressions of satisfaction. The vital need of some means whereby the au- thorities and the consumers may know the exact quality of the milk fed to infants and to sick persons, was stressed by the physicians, and the determination of the city authorities to establish the inspection system was the cause of much commendatory con- versation.
 In his address to the council in be- half of such action, Monday night, Dr.. A. T. Thompson stated that the man who is selling good, pure, unadulter- ated milk ought to get credit for such action. The man who is not selling such milk ought to be censured. Most certainly, said Dr. Thompson, the public should know what they are get ting. Milk is comparatively cheap, and there is 9 vast quantity of it used. The expense of the inspection service will be little, the milk can be tested easily, and the cost of the service in it's entirety will be light.
 The ordinance will be offered at the next meeting of the council, and there appears no doubt it will be adopted, because of the expressions of opinion by members of the aldermanic board at the meeting Monday night.

NEW FREIGHT RATES.
State Commissions New Classification
 Effective Yesterday.

A new and complete classification of freight rates went into effect in Arkansas yesterday when an order of the state railroad commission be- came operative. making western clas- sification No. B apply to intrastate rates as we'll as to interstate rates.
 According to experts in the office of the state railroad commission, the new classification will reduce rates on many classes and commodities of freights, and at the same time will increase the rates of small number of classes.
 Considered as an entirety, the inn pression prevails that the new classi- fication will be more generally satis- factory to the shippers of the state. as we'll as to the railroads. The new classification of rates was prepared by rate experts representing railroads and shippers and takes the place of western classification No. 52. -
