Alan Wayne had been away for
year. He had not returned from Mont
real but had gone one from there 10
work in South America and, later, to
Africa.
He had been in town for several
days when he met the judge one after
noon in November on the avenue.
Judge" he said without preamble,
whats this hear about Gerry dis
appearing"
ITS true" said the judge and add
ed grimly, "he disappeared the day you
went to Montreal"
Alan colored and his face turned
grave. II am sorry" he said, ~
didn't know it."
Sorry for what?" asked the judge,
out Alan refused the opening and the
judge hardly regretted it. They were
not in tune and he felt 1t. His heart
was heavy over Alan for his own sake.
He had broken what the judge had
long reverenced as a charmed circle.
He had exiled himself from that which
should have been dearer to him than
his hearts desire. The judge Won
dered II he realized it. You're not
going out to Red HIP" he asked, try
ing to make the question casual.
Alan glanced at him sharply. What
was the judge after? No." he said
after a pause, 81 shall not break the
communal coma of Red Hill for some

become sort Of poohbah on construc-
tion In Africa. They get premium
for lending me-"
Alan's speech habitually drawled ex-
| cept for an occasional retort that came
like the crack of a whip. The judge
looked him over curiously. Alan's
dress was almost too refined. His per-
son was rs well cared for as a wom-
ans. Every detail about him was a
studied negatlon of work, utility, serv-
Ice. The judge thought OF Collinge-
ford's story and wondered.
They walked in silence for some
time and then Alan took his leave. The
judge followed his erect figure with
solemn eyes. Alan had deteriorateti.
One cannot be the fly In the amber OF
more than one woman's memory with
out clouding ones own soul. and n
clouded soul has its peculiar cIrcum-
ambiency which the clean can feel.
The Judge felt 1t in Alan and WINGED.

Hill, In certain measure, came to Alan.
The next afternoon found the captain
once more established in his chair in
window at the club with Alan be-
side him. The captain had not changed.
His hair was in the same state OF
white insurgency. his eyes bulged in
the same old way, and he still puffed
when he talked. His garb was identi.

words hung and dropped in the silence

Conflict With Mexico.

If we are driven by Mexican out rages upon American citizens, and the arrogance of Gen. Garanza, to war with that country, it will not take many months to clean them up, unless it should turn out that Japan is secretly backing Garanza, and it is not believed that she is. In our war with Mexico in 1846, we never lost a battle and we were outnumbered 4 to and 5 to in every instance. Mexico has no munition factories, nor enough skilled workmen to build and oper- ate one of any consequences.

Uses Human Mouth is Subjected.

The mouth is one of the most important organs of the human body It is located in the lower part of the face for the purpose of talking, laughing. singing. eating, drinking. kissing, and is place where whiskers meet and part.
 It smokes, drinks. swears, lies, prays and tells the truth-some- times.
 Some mouths look like cupid's bow, and remind you of Heaven. Others look like a Frankfurter and remind you of the other place.
 Some have an odor of roses, and others smell like limberger cheese.
 It's corn sheller, meat chop per, potato masher. nut cracker, bone polisher and hash machine.
 It's receptacle for peanuts, popcorn. chesnuts and tango hall for chewing gum.
 It's a carvern for ice cream, can dy, soda and a garbage can for chocolate.
 It's palace for Holsters, oysters, clans. salads and a pantry for pie.
 It's cuspidor for chewing to- bacco, snuff, pipes, cigars and a woodshed for toothpicks.
 It's the old maids reservoir for tea and cocoa. and the coffee fiend' foretaste of Heaven.
 It's the grocer's friend, the butchers vault for the dead. the rum sellers sewer and the dentists s safe deposit for gold.
 It's the druggists medicine chest for pills, castor oil and other de- licasies and the undertaker's funer- al director.
 It's the rich mans buffet for wines, cocktails and champagne, and the poor mans rum shop for whiskey, rum and beer.
 It's the fathers commander, the mothers adviser, the husband's S grumbler, the wife's scolder, the boys teaser, the girls chatterbox and the suffragette's hellraiser.
 It's the tattler's telephone, the bragger's trumpet, the slanderer's photograph and the agitator's s megaphone.
 It's the judges condemner, the lawyers prevaricator, the prison CTS appealer and the jaller's sl- lencer.

BrOuqh FayOrS Amendment No. B.

From address of c. H. Brough, Democratic nominee for governor of Arkansas, delivered at the Dem ocratic State Convention, Little Rock, June 1, 1916:
 T believe that our Democracy should be made far reaching and flexible through the further exten- sion of the system of. initiative and referendum. The present limita- ton of the number of amendments that can be submitted at any one election to three is an unWise linn itation on the powers of the people and l believe that these powers should be safepuarded by the right of the people to express them selves fully at any time upon any subject. If the extension of Amendment Mo- 10 by the pending Amendment No. Is proves unsuc- cessful and inadequate. then l shall favor the convening of a Constiuu- tonal Convention for the purpose of clothing the people of Arkansas with government garments that will fit thelr expanding needs"
 The foregoing statement by pr. Brough goes far to stamp him as a democratic Democrat and not one of machine variety. and far sec ing statesman as well. None but man whose faith is profound in the ability of the people to wisely govern themselves would advocate the extension of the initiative and referendum and at a time when he knows that his election is assured. and this should be conceded true by fair minded men of whatever political party.
 l. Discerning statesmanship is shown in his implied faith that Amendment No. Is will clothe the people of Arkansas with all the power necessary for their expand ing needs. and without the neces- sity of Constitutional Convention. This amendment was drawn to ac- complish this purpose. and by some of the best legal talent availabe aided by those who have made this charater of legislation a study for years, and guided by the experience of initiative and referendum laws in other states and our trial of the initiative and referendum in Arkan- sas. A vote at the next election for Amendment No Is means vote for a peoples government against machine rule.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way 10 cure catarrhal deafness. and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachien Tube. When ths tube fs unframed you have a rumping sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to It's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh. which is unframed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys- tenn.

A Clover Campaign.

A clover field is everywhere taken as symbol of richness. richness of owners and richness in fertility of land. A field of clover Is rich pasture for all kinds of livestock. and beautiful to look up- on. It's roots go down into the earth and bring about fine texture of the earth for tillng. On the clover roots are found homes, as 1t were, of bacteria that take ni- trogen from the air and add to the wealth of the soil more food for other plants. There are many clovers aud practically all of them, with proper care, do well in Arkan- sas. Some clovers grow well here even without care. The wealth of a state may well be measured by it's acreage of clovers and alfalfa.
 Crimson clover will grow in most soils although in many farms in- oculation may be necessary. It should be tried out in a small way first. It may be seeded in the cot ton at the last cultivation at the rate of IS pounds per acre Bur clover is wonderful plant and may be seeded in cotton at or after the last cultivation or in the open field. It will make good pasture this winter and plowed under about the last of April and the ground plant ed to cotton. the clover will cover the ground again by September for another winter pasture Bur clo- yer soWn on Bermuda sod fur nishes winter pasture. Red clover will do we'll on aImes. any farm in Arkansas and may be seed ed in the fall or in the spring White clover makes a rich pasture and Japan clover, lespedeza, grows almost anywhere and is a fine pas tufe and most excellent hay crop.
 Every farmer in Arkansas is urged to get on the clover wagon and be able to say on or before October that he has seeded from five to one hundred acres of clover The clover family is an aristocratie family, probably the most beautiful plant family known in Arkansaa and yet the most democratic, as it will almost come for the asking and it blesses both the farmer and the passerby. Bankers, editors, mer- chants, lawyers, preachers, teach CTS and all patriotic people are en- tering the campaign for making Arkansas great clover state. And, last but not least. let thous- ands of progressive farmers plan for a few acres of that Queen of the Clovers," alfalfa. A circular, or planting program, for clovers and grasses has been prepared and will be sent free on request to the Director of Extension Division Fayetteville or Little Rock, or a copy may be had from the county agent or any banker.
