Roman Custom.

It was a custom even among the comparatively modern Romans to bury with their little children their favorite toys, and the custom seems to reach back to the earliest times of which we have any t:'uthworthy relics. In. deed, in our own day, the doll fur. nishes a striking example of that most primitive trait, mother instinct for among maly savage tribes, nota bly, the BechUanas and the Basutos. 1t is the custom tor married women to lavish their pent up mother love 0pon rude dolls until the advent o1 their offspring. s.l:.&..

2,4OO PEOPLE HEAR NEGRO EVANGELIST
 AT TWO SERVICES
Seventy seven Additions to Church During Two
 Weeks Meeting.

Approximately 2,400 persons attend e dthe revival services at St. John A. M. E. church Sunday. Many came in from the country districts, and few of the attendants were white citizens. paign and many who had read the re- ports and heard of the meeting were anxious to hear Evangelist R. A. Adams.
 In the morning. the subject was "The Lost Christ" and the text, Luke 2:45, "Jssus tarried behind' Speak ing of the way people lose Christ out of their hearts and lives, the evan gelist said: M% EN-
 Some are seeking wealth; they plan to get rich, accomplish certain things and then look after their reli- giOus interests, and after a while they succeed, but these things do not satisfy, and they are sod to discover that they have lost more than. they have gained"
 The afternoon meeting was fol women only, and was presided over by Mrs, M. F. Strong, wife of Rev Strong of the M. E. church, colored and the subject was Ideal Woman hood" In this address pr. Adams followe dthe course of the address tC men. declaring the ideal womanhOoo to be a physical, mental, sensible, SO Der. courageous, moral and Christian womanhood. A few of the startling statements are given here
 "The negro race is dying out: the mortality statistics are alarming: the young women of today are weaker than their mothers and their grand mothers. Take the average young woman from 17 to 20 give her wash board and wash tub and give her old grandmother the same and start them to washing. and the young woman will have backache dozen times where the old one will have it once The evasion of the duties of mother hood, by whatever means it may be accomplished. means to hinder anC destroy the body.
 If we are to have sober race and sober nation, we must have a sober womanhood. The time has come for negro women to stop drink ing whiskey, beer and other intoxi- cants and thus save the present and future generations.
 "In our church work and lodge work we ought to stop advancing and promoting women who are notorious ly immoral, just because they are good takers. can dress well and can raise money for the church. Some of the leaders are disgrace to the race and stumbling blocks in the way of progress. That is one reason the white people misunderstood us, for If we put such people in the lead, it is not unreasonable that we should be judged to be all alike
 Only three nights remain''of the revival series, as Dr. Adams must close in order to reach Charleston, w. Va, where he begins a campaign next Sunday. The plan is for him to leave Wednesday night. and large delegation will accompany him to the station. Yr
 Though hindered by excessive rains during the past week, 77 persons have been added to the church during the past two weeks.

MOVEMENT AFOOT ID REDUCE SIZE
 OF POLICE FORCE
Some Aldermen Told City Does Not Need Four Men
 on Streets at One Time.

Efforts are being made to prevail upon several members of the city council that the Pine Bluff police de- partment has too many men on the payroll and that the expense of the department is too large, the intention evidently being to have resolution introduced at the next meeting Of the council. instructing the mayor to re- duce the size and the expense of the department. Y. That members of the council have been approached in this matter was admitted by several of them yester- day, although it was stated by the aldermen approached that the ques- 1 tion came up in general conversa- | ton" only, when the expenses of the l city was the subject under consid- eration. There are now twelve men in the police department including the two chiefs and the two patrol drivers. | These latter are virtually compelled to remain within the station, not being in position to do patrol duty except when somebody remains at the headquarters. This means that one chief and four men are on duty on the streets in the daytime hours, and the same number at night, One man 1 is compelled to remain at the union passenger station, which leaves three men and a chief for general duty, and one of ths thr mn is a rOundsman tn other two being beat men, in Main Second, Third Fourth and State l streets.
 Once before during the summer the police department was reduced tC l just about enough men to answer the telephone and drive the patrol wagon but the citizens objected to such lack of police protection an dthe force was again built up, to it's present size.
 Discussion of the matter yesterday brought out the expression of Opin- ion from number of business men that the police department ought not to be reduced, especially at this time when the number of tramps, < hoboes and criminals travelling through this section of the country is about to become unusually large.
 "We all remember how many hold
 ups there were in Pine Bluff las winter,' said one business man, who desired his name withheld from pub lication. "Times were hard all ove, the country, and men were desperate enough to rob and steal, for some thing to eat and something to wear There are going to be more of these men come through Pine Bluff this fall, winter and spring, and if the police department is cut down, there will be no protection, worthy ths name. AS it is now, Pine Bluff has fewer burglaries than any city this size in the entire state. Reduce the department, and somebody will suf- fer. Personally, 1 believe this con. tinual agitation for cutting down an( then building up and the cutting dow1 again. is likely to demoralize the DO lice department, or any other de .partment. For the sake of good ser vice, once and for all, l do not think there is any question the people Want ample police protection"

Rusk'n's Grocery Adventure.

From time to time in the last few years various men and women of prominence have gone into the gro cery business to- give the poo- . chance to buy small quantities at the same rate as those. for which their Ticker brothers buy large quantities.. Usually these plans have failed. for some reason or other This was tue case with Ruskin's grocery, for Rus- tin himself found it expedient to close 1t. For, said he, the poor like their groceries brilliantly lighted and eloquently ticketed." and he would compete neither with "gaa nor
 rhetoric"
