THEATRICAL TREAT.

Henry w. Savage, acknowl- edged as Americas greatest the atrical and musical producer, is sending to the Kempner Thea ter, Little Rock, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, February 1 and 2, with a matinee on We'd nesday, his well known produc- ton of the dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman." This is the first Henry w. Savage attraction to visit Little Rock in two years, and, though it has been seen in Little Rock three times before, one of the remarkable things about "Everywoman" is that on it's third or fourth visit to a city it brings out an ever greater audience than the first time there. All this is a tribute te MT. Savage, who never allows a production from his establish ment to run down, but keeps them fresh and up to the min ute. The production of Every woman" is as careful and com- plete as it was the first day it was shown to the public, and none of it's beauties have been eliminated or cut down. It is a matter of personal education and enjoyment on the part of every individual to see Every woman" Hugh Huhn, the crit ic of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, says "the man or wom- an who has not seen "Everywo- man" should feel silently asham- ed of themselves.
 Henry w. Savage has scored his greatest triumph in the pre- sentation of "Everywoman." :" For in the maze and mesh of trashy theme and tinseled trum- petry so common to the drama of today, "Everywoman" stands out as an epoch of truth and

RIVER AT HIGHEST STAGE IN YEARS, AND CONTIN- LIED RAINFALL THREAT EMS TO INCREASE VOL LIME.
FOURCHE IS BACKING UP
Weather Bureau Warns Farm CTS to Get Their Stock Out of the Lowlands and Prepare for Biggest Overflow County Has Had in Two Decades.

Grave danger threatens the lowlands of Arkansas as a result of the recent heavy rainfall over all of the Mississippi valley, swelling the streams beyond their banks. The Arkansas riv- CT reached the flood stage on Thursday, and it is still raining. The Fourche is backing up rap idly, and locally there will prob ably be the biggest overflow the county has had in years.
 The weather bureau is advis- ing farmers to get their live stock out of the bottoms and keep them out until the waters recede. Fortunately there are not many cattle in the lowlands, and at this time of the year few crops can be injured by the wa ter. The greatest loss will come in the washing away of fences and erosion of the fields.
 Judge Asher left Friday after noon for Wrightsville with a supply of sacks to be used in fighting the flood.

Art Masterpiece Now on Exhibition
 In This City
THOMTAY'S 1.-THE MAN OF GALILEE" AT BOWSER'S.

'The Man of Galilee," one of Carl Thomtay's masterpieces, will be shown at Bowser's for two weeks. All are invited to come and see it.
 A study of the Prince of Peace in these militant times may tend to increase the spirit of good will among Americans who have not been called upon to suffer the horrors of war.
 Carl Thomtay, the artist, was born in Copenhagen in 1865. He took up the study of painting while still a youth, and became a student of Jerome and Constant in Paris. He is a medalist of the Grand Salon. His greatest work, "The Two Marys at the Tomb," now hangs in Luxem- bourg and is the property of the French government.
 He has one study in Copenha- gen and another in Joppa. His fame has been built upon his work in connection with Biblical subjects.
 In "The Man of Galilee" Christ is shown kneeling in prayer amid the mountains of Capernaum, six miles from the Sea of Galilee. His head is bow ed and his face is not visible, his arms extended in supplication. A soft moon casts it's half light upon the scene. The evening star glows in the distance as the beacon to eternity.
 He who Hooked for some one to take pity on him. and there was no man"-kneels there, a figure of solitude, unut- terably lonely.
 Art critics have written much in praise of this painting. They say it exhibits the highest type of the assured technique of the Danish school. People who go to look at the picture sometimes sit for hours drinking in it's spir- itual significance.
 The painting is very large 8x11 feet, and is valued at S50,- 900. It will be on exhibition at Bowser's till February 5.

For several days petition has been in circulation in the old Fourth ward of Pulaski Heights favoring the withdraw- al of the Forest Park district from the city of Little Rock. to which 1t was recently annexed. Only a few signers so far have been obtained, and most of the prominent property owners have expressed themselves as op- posed to the movement.
 It is quietly rumored that this move was favored by the street railway company because of their objection to the city's reg- ulation of the conduct of Forest Park, and by the Catholic au- thorities, who would evade the extra city tax upon the Little Rock College property. By those who favored the secession peti- ton it was said that the street car company would be willing to double track it's line and give Forest Park free street lights if the territory was withdrawn.
 No official of the street rail- way company was found who would admit that the company was interested one way or the other, or would make a conces- sion of any kind for the with drawal of Forest Park from the city. Neither would Bishop Morris or any of the officials of the Catholic church admit that they had encouraged any move of this kind.

sincerity. Conceived and writ ten on plane infinitely higher than the average play of the present age, MT. Savage has spared no expense, overlooked no artifice and let escape no tal- ent that would serve to make the presentation worthy of the subject. "Everywoman" is a great artists conception of the chief aim in the life of woman hood composite-the quest of love. And though, through one of the pranks of fate, Walter Browne, the author, himself never lived to enjoy the triumph, the message lives and breathes with the high and sincere pur- pose dominating this wonderful plea in behalf of every woman.
 The company presenting "Ev- erywoman' is a huge one, trav- cling by special train with two sixty-foot baggage car loads of scenery and electrical effects. In the big ensemble of the fourth act, which represents Broadway, New York, on New Years eve, over one hundred and fifty peo- pie appear. The organization is accompanied by special sym phony orchestra to render the impressive score written by George Whitfield Chadwick. Edna Porter, a beautiful South ern girl, is seen in the leading role. Seats now selling.

WHAT'S THE USE?

What is the use of going thro' life
 With a face as long as your
 arm An tellin' your woes wherever
 you go To fellers who don't give a darn !? Better smile and be gay; drive
 dull care away. There are clouds enough in
 the sky; And suppose things look blue :?
 I'll give it to you It will all turn out right, by
 and by. The clouds, we are told, have a
 lining of gold. Just look for it pard, and
 you'll find it. If you don't see it today-just
 peg away, Keep a stiff upper lip and don't
 mind it. Don't act like a goose and say:
 Whats the use ?" Or sit by the wayside a-sigh-
 ing. Don't be dunce, start at it at
 once And you'll get there, if you
 only keep trying. Tom Campbell Davis, aged 15, eighth grade Pulaski Heights school.

UNDERPAID POSTAGE IS HEAVY
Foreign Business Men and Others
Protest Against American Practice.

Some idea OF the extent to which
Americans. through negligence or igno-
rance, place insufficient postage on let
ters and parcel post mall destined to for
eign. countries Is disclosed in reports to
the State Department from American
consult abroad, who frequently voice the
protests of foreign business men and
others at having to buy their American
mail" A recent report from Consul
Loop at Hamilton, Bermuda, shows that
more than 81 per cent Of Bermuda's 1914
postal surplus came from penalties col
lected because Of underpaid postage on
letters and parcel mail These penalties
aggregated s2.s60. The letters instead Of
being prepaid at the usual foreign letter
rate of cents an ounce bore 2-cent
stamps and their recipients in Bermuda
paid double the amount Of the deficiency,
or cents. as penalty.
The same condition prevails In many
other foreign countries and postal au-
thorities here have sought in every way
to bring it to the attention Of Americans
carrying on foreign correspondence.
