PUT FAITH IN STALE BEER
Old Soldier Had His Own Ideas About
Best Way to Keep in Good
Physical Condition.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell's book,
Indian Memories" teens with good
stories of his early soldering days in
India. Some OF the best stories he
tells, however are those concerning
Sir Baker Russell, who was a major

became colonel.
Sir Baker, who made a great name
for himself as a soldier, was the
beau ideal of fighting leader He
was beloved Of the men, who nick
named him Bakers Dozen" mainly
on account of his unorthodox methods.
"On one OCCASION says Sir Robert,
"the colonel had to lecture one of his
men for some minor misbehavior. The
man was splendid type of old sol

rider, and marksman, but he was very
fond of his mug of ale. When he

What Is a earmeeid Feast?

The model of Bagdad was the older
Persian capital of Ctesiphon, situated
only few miles away. Doubtless also
most of the builders employed by
Mansur were Persians. for his desert
Arabs were not versed in that art.
Persian influence was conspicuous
from the first, and the chief advisers
of the Abbasids were all Persians un-
til the time of Harnn-al- l-Rashid. They
belonged to the famous Barmacid fam
lily whose power began with Khalid
Mansur's vizier, and ended with Jaf-
far, who used to accompany his mas
ter Harun in his incognito excursions
through the streets of his capital in
search of adventures that are familiar
to every child. Despite his romantic
picturesqueness. Harun was weak
ling, and like many another oriental
tyrant his last days were marked
with shocking cruelties, one of the
worst of which was the slaughter of
the whole Barmecid family at a feast
that has become a proverb with us
today.-William Warfeld in Harpers
Magazine.

Emblem Of South Africa.

The springbok, which has been
adopted for the device of the South At
rican contingent for Europe, was SO
named by the first Dutch settlers from
a habit of suddenly leaping in the air,
and is the characteristic antelope OF
the Union. 1t occurs almost every
where, from the Cape to Rhodesia.
Prodigious herds Of springbok some
times travel through the country in
dense masses that sweep away fiocks
of sheep or goats, and even carry with
them entangled lions. These curious
migrations are inspired by an instinct
which tells the hungry herds where
rain has lately fallen and caused new
growth of grass.

BRIEF NEWS AND NOTES.

The house passed by vote of 54 to 32 the General Game Bill which origi- hated in the Senate where it was in- trodueed by Senator Futrell. After a tempestuous voyage in the house, dur ing which it had been threatened with destruction on the breakers of de- structive amendments, it came to a final vote without any change from the text as it came from the Senate. It will therefore become the general law, applicable to all counties in the state, for the protection of all game. A game commission is provided with a system of licenses, bag limits, and restrictions which, it is argued, will conserve the wild life of Arkansas.

Representative Griffin will push hls bill for a million dollar loan. notwith. standing the unfavorable report by the Committee on Ways and Means. He has made some calculations showing the loss of revenue to the state after the general tax levy was reduced In 1905, and before it was restored in 1913, to be S1,346,S22, allowing nearly $l00,000 for delinquent taxes in that time. He has further figures showing the warrants outstanding February 15, 1915, to have been $471, 796, and af- ter allowing an estimated expense of S450.000 for the four and onehalf months from now until the settlement of the tax collectors, he gives a total deficit due on that date of S921, ,796, presuming that the expense of govern ment will not be increased over this period beyond what they have been for the average of the past year. Adding to this his estimates of S325,000 for various deficits to be met by the pres ent legislature, and for such appro- priauonS as the Smith-Lever bill and others not included in the last legisla- ture appropriations, MT. Griffin reck- cns that the total deficit will approach S1,200,000. He has made an estimate of the interest on the proposed S1.- 000.000 loan provided in his bill, over a period of 12 years, and claims that the one-fourth mill levy specified will loan with S32,oo0 to spare.
