SOME WILL DlsBELIEVE THIS
That Fair Girl Graduate NegIectecg Familiar Phrase Is Too Much to
 Take on Faith.

Confronted by eager friends and rel atives in the auditorium the fair young girl graduate sallied forth to he cen ter of the platform to deliver her com. mencement peroration. Everyone ex- pected her to strew the wild flowers of rhetoric around the building with a lavish hand and they were not disap- pointed. Beginning almost in the Gar den of Eden, she brilliantly traced the great events of history and endeav- ored to point the lesson that each hap pening should teach. She dragged poor Julius Caesar from his mausoleum and ghoulishly lugged him across the Rubi~ con again, helped Horatio make good his long suit at the bridge and even endeavored to portray where Napoleon Bonaparte had erred.
 Coming down the home stretch the talented young lady breezed along un- der wraps.
 Now, my classmates" she said in conclusion, i've have reached the part ing of the ways. We must now show the stuff of which we are made and get out in the world and hustle. Let us put forth all our energies to make our efforts a success, thereby repaying our proud forbears for the many sac rifces they have made that we might be scientifically equipped for the her culean struggle on which we must em- bark"
 With these fitting words, the fair graduate brought her valedictory to g close. And never once did she pro- claim to an unsuspecting public that, Beyond the Alps lies Italy."-New York World.

Why Not Select Your Guest?

"I wish people who haven't minds of their own would come to a realizing. sense of the bother that they { their friends and would develop a lit tie initiative on their own account" said a man who had been entertaining a visitor to dinner. Maybe It's only mistaken idea of politeness, but any how it's nuisance to be entertaining a person at the club and have him ut terly without ideas as to what he wants to eat and drink You ask him and he says he'll leave it to you, which is exactly what you don't want him to do. How can you divine his tastes, I'd like to know? What appeals to you, very likely won't to him, and you know and he knows it. But your selections from the menu are always met with the comment, That's very nice,' or you couldn't suit me better And so you go through the meal in a hit-or-miss fashion that certainly gets on the. nerves of the host. The next time I run up against that kind of man, I'm just going to sit back and let him do the entire ordering"

TOM EDWARDS
HANGS HIMSELF

Yesterday morning about 9
O'Clock, Tom Edwards, a half
witted kind of fellow, was found
hanging in w. M. Weeks black
smith shop on West Elm street,
near the Grammar School build
ing. Edwards had been back
here from Texarkana about one
month and was working for Mr..
Weeks. He slept in the shop.
When Mr.. Weeks came down
that morning the shop was clos
ed. and he had to force a door
open to get in. He found the
bed had not been slept on and
Edv ards clothes were lying by
the bed. He still had no idea what
had happened, as he thought
Tom had bought more clothes
and had gone to spend the night
with his brother, Bud" who
lives in another part of town.
He went about his work when
he passed a little room with
steps in it which led upstairs in
the shop and there discovered
the body hanging from the steps.
The Coroner was notified and
Jury empanneiled and a verdict
of suicide was rendered.
There was nothing left to eX-
plain why he did it.

10 KILLED, so TO
IS INJURED
Damage and Loss of Life Are
Greatest ir Hampstead. Lafay-
cite and Nevada Counties,
With One Fatality Reported
From North Arkansas.

Southwest Arkansas appears
to have suffered most in the
tornado that plowed it's way
across the state. The damage
and loss of life were greatest in
Hampstead, Lafayette and Ne
vada counties. That the storm
was general throughout the state,
however. is shown by the fact
that one death occurred in Fulton
county, on the extreme northern
edge of the state.
Scores of residences were liter
ally swept from the earth and
much stock, including cattle,
hogs, horses, was killed. More
than $1O0, 900 property loss has
already been reported, and re-
scuers and relief committees say
they have not yet covered the
ground.
Shortly before 3 o'clock, when
many residents of that section
were enjoying the holiday, a
heavy gust of wind passed over
Stamps from the southeast.
Eight miles north of the town it
gained a velocity that swept
everything before it in district
a half mile wide and Is miles
long.
Sweeping on up the pike the
death trap caught Lewis Arm
strong, young farmer. and his
bride of a week. Mr.. Armstrong
was assisting his wife in clean
ing up a little cottage prepara-
tory to moving in today. The
cottage is mass of splintered
timbers. Armstrong was crnsh-
ed beneath the wreck. His life
less body was taken out after
midnight. Mrs. Armstrong is
being cared for by neighbors.
She cannot recover from injuries,
both internal and external. She
is delirious and asks for her
husband.
In the Sardis neighborhood
seven houses were blown away,
all completely demolished. No
ives were lost, but several are
reported injured. Several bales
of cotton were picked up at
Sardis and carriei from their
resting places. One was broken
and a rescuer says parts of the
bale were found all over the
country.
The scene of Bodcaw, a thriv-
ing lumber mill town in southern
Nevada county, is described as
terrible. 1t is reported that
many are injured. some serious
ly. and many of the finest build
ings of the town are wrecked.
Two hundred persons had gat-
hered to witness football game.
Before the game was half over
the storm swooped down. and
many of the spectators were
injured. Nine of the best resi-.
dences in the town, located upon
the heights, were swept away.
Many barns were leveled. scores
of cattle and horses killed.
The Bodcaw Lumber Company
lost heavily in timber and lumber
that was swept away.
Near Bodcuaw. the big gin of
D. Whitten was destroyed and
cotton in it ruined.
The Mt. Pleasant schoolhouse
was lifted from it's foundation
and set down in ravine. Fifty
small children attended school
there. The teacher was not
given a Thanksgiving holiday,
but she saw the clouds coming
and dismissed the children.
Most of them had reached their
parents before the storm. Some
were injured. it is said.
