THIS CAR A. TROUBLE MAKER
Perry Brown Arrested Charged with
Stealing Automobile

Sheriff johnson of Doniphan
county was here yesterday and ar
rested Perry Brown on q petty lar
ceny charge.
Brown had been on the market
for an automobile and after trying
several of them out he finally de-
cided on one car and asked the
agent II he could drive It to the
country and get some money to pay
for 1t. The agent was willing.
Browns "trip to the country" hap
pened to be to White Cloud, Kan,
in the extreme northeast corner Of
the state. While there the car was
attached by the authorities for var
ious debts and the constable put 1t
under lock and key in shed at his
home. Brown was in q fix. Some
way he got the car, and It IL alleg-
ed that he tore the lock from the
shed and taking the car out drove
IL home. The agent Immediately
took possession when the probable
customer failed to put up the money.
He has the car, none the worse for
its trip and Brown has been taken
to Doniphan county by the sheriff.

all up with the poor chap. He is dy-
ing Of jungle fever. His name is
Sayres-Jim Sayres.
The girl released herself from her
lovers embrace and, when she spoke
her voice was curiously restrained
Let me see him, Harry. Perhaps
I can do something for him"
''The doctor says there is no
hope" answered Harry. But already
Ethel was walking quickly toward
the tent. Harry waited. Some in
stinct of delicacy impelled him not
to follow her. He did not wish to be
a spectator of her last ministTations
to the dying man. Besides, he might
become conscious, the doctor had
said, and then his, presence would be
embarrassing. Women understood
these situations instinctiVely.
But after a half hour he became
alarmed. Ethel was still in the tent
He went stoftly toward it. He heard
the sound of voices and stood outside,
not venturing to raise the flap.
And it was SayTes speaking.
Il shall live, dearest, ne SAID, De-
cause I have seen your face again.
Ethel, how l have loved you all these
years"
And 1 you, Jim" Harry heard her
answer, and the mans face turned to
a craven mask. =
'But why did you become engaged
to-you have not told me his name,
Ethel, but why did your" ....
'YOu didn't write. 1 thought you
had forgotten me-
81 had no right to write to YOU"
said Sayres in a quiet voice, subdued
by weakness. 81 only hoped your love
was true" 49,.
ooh, it is true, dearest;" -sobbed the
girl. 81 never cared for him. But
when l thought you had ceased to
care for me 1 did not care what hap
pened. And now 1 am bound in

They had never wholly loved each
other, but each had, accepted the sit
uatiOn as the result of years of pro-
pinquity. Lately Ethel's letters had
been warmer in tone. Harry looked
forward to their marriage with quiet
satisfaction. A year or two in Lima
and then New York and happy fu-
tUre!
On the following morning the doc
tor came to Harry as the train was
preparing for the march into the
Hills.
There's no hope" he said. Hes
slipping down hill. It would be no
use to stay" y.
Harry went into the sick mans
room. Jim Sayres lay motionless
among the pillows; his face was
deathly white and his thin hands al
most transparent. It was evident he
was sunk in the final stupor.
One cannot stop to grieve over the
dying when life runs hot in the veins.
Harry gave the order for the march.
But just as the bearers were form
ing into line file of natives appeared
along a forest path that led down,
from the mountains. 1t was a small
party of bearers, proceeding toward:
the camp. It would be necessary to
postpone the departure and welcome
the. travellers, as etiquette prescribed.
The natives, grunting, deposited
their loads in the clearing. Four,
bearing a hooded stretcher, came to
a halt and set down their burden.
Out stepped a white woman-EtheI!
She threw herself into Harry's
arms.
81 thought l would come on from

told me that you might be delayed
here for an indefinite time and l did
not want to wait, Harry. And are you

 tended During the Session.

Conway The State Baptist Convention ad- iourned and the delegates have re- turned to their homes. Committee on order or business had ordered ses- sions for the morning and afternoon, but President Barton and his advisers decided that the amount of unfinished business did not warrant their stay ing over, and the few remaining busi- ness matters were disposed of or left to committees.
 The main report at the night session covered work of the church among the negroes. Resolutions were also adopt ed thanking Conway, the railroads of Arkansas and the newspapers for courtesies extended during the ses- sion. The total attendance at the conveption was 750, according to Dr. Otto Wilmington, pastor of the Con way Church, little short of the num- Der expected The next session of the convention will be held at Mall vern, commencing Wednesday before the second Sunday in December, 1916.

LIGHT FOR OPERATING ROOM
Eminent British Surgeon Believes Green to Be Better Color Than
 White, at Present Used.

The immaculate white of an oper- ating room and everything in it has long been byword, but it is more than likely that this will soon change to 'verdant green" or some other shade of natures favorite color. Brit ish physicians, who have lately had an amplitude of practice in operating rooms, are finding that white is too wearisome to the eye and causes fla tigue. It also detracts from the value of light on and within the wound Light is HOW being focused on the wound. not around it, with much bet ter results.
 One eminent surgeon of Leeds has fitted up an operating room entirely of green and it is likely his example will soon be followed by many others Green is a restful color, offers no sharp contract to the colors of the wound surfaces, and allows ligatures and sutures to be clearly seen against 1t. After painting the walls, ceiling and floor of his operating room green the physician was so pleased with the results obtained that he has now in- stalled for exclusive use green towels and sheets.

PARIS FRoM rftE ElfFeL TOWER

upon the treasures which the Louvre houses. In the hall of sculpture stands the peerless Venus of Melos, thing more ravishing than any other vision ever hewn from a stone. In this hall there are many pieces, of an- tiquity and more modern times, the loss of any one of which would be irreparable. Yet the strange people of this city, fired with enthusiasm for communistic theory, once mined the Louvre, poured petroleum over it and prepared to destroy with gunpowder what it had taken the world more than twenty-five hundred years to produce.
 City of Strong Contrasts.
 Paris is overrich in the possession of the beautiful, the impressive and the magnificent. It's famous buildings make an almost amending list. Rich. est among the worlds theaters is the Paris home of opera, without an ar chitectural delight within fascinat- ing inspiration in snow-white marble, onyx, jasper, malachite and bronze. It's famed grand stairway is a fitting prelude to the highest moods that can be produced by the music on it's stage And there is not wanting strong element of gruesome and terrifying re- miniscence in this glorious city. The traveller stands amidst the wide sweep of the Place de la Concorde, Place of Peace" and he thinks that here before an assembled bestial mob the razor blade of the guillotine rose and fell untiring, while head after head, mid bitter jest and song, rolled from the gory machine into the great common basket, and the quivering trunks were corded at it's side. Age and youth and loveliness were sacrificed to fierce pas sion on this now serene square in a way that only Rome had equaled.
 Every contrast is found in Paris, and all varieties of excellence Here is the worlds highest structure, the Eiffel tower This huge shaft of steel is one of the most overpowering things within the city. Forty drafts men worked two years on the 15,000 different designs necessary for it's 5000 sections. Restaurants, shops and theater are housed upon it's steps and within it's corridors. Ten thousand people can gather here at one time.
