Thirteen Arkansas banks, which were recently notified by State Bank Commissioner John M. Davis that in the use of the word Trust" in the names of the banks, they were not complying with the law, have advised the commissioner they have taken steps to come within the law.

 and to Hector.
RussellYille

RuSSellyllle.--
 The Iron Mountain Railway Com pany withdrew it's case pending in the Arkansas Supreme Court against Road Improvement District No in Pope county, and work will now begin upon the largest macadam road project yet undertaken under provisions of the Alexander good roads law. Vice President Alexander Robertson tele- graphed Wilson & Williams and J. T. Bullock of Russellville attorneys for the district, that the case would be withdrawn Work is expected to be- gin by March l.
 The road to be built in Pope coun- ty will extend from the Arkansas river opposite Dardanelle north through Russellville, Dover, Scottsville and to Hector in the northern part of Pope county. It will be the first link in proposed road from Russellville to Harrison in Boone county, distance of 96 miles Twenty-six miles will be built in Pope county. It will con- meet with a road to be built by the government through the Ozark Ma tional Forest in Pope and Newton counties and extend on to Harrison by improvement districts in Newton and Boone.
 Pope county's improvement district was the first formed. A bond issue of S150,000 was sold for above par. Pre- parations were being made to begin work when progress was blocked by the suit. The first sale of the bonds to a Chicago firm was forfeited. The commissioners for the improvement district collected from the brokers a $1,50O forfeit. The contractor an nounced that St. Louis firm was ready to take the bond issue at the original price as soon as the litigation was settled Nothing now remains in the way of carrying out the work.

of shrimp pot-pourri. On the broad window ledge is a box of kitchen bouquet; basil, cheval, coriander, and on the odd little balcony jutting out from it sweet box garden of pe- tunias, cypress vines and myrtle. Above it a freighted clothesline flaps in the wind and rain.
 Here you say "B'soir,'' and insist that you can find your way without further guidance. You retrace your steps, halting now and then to be cer- tain of your direction, and come at last to view the ruin of a fine old tapestry. On you go to the great ground floor and finger a moment for one last look at the slave mart. Then your feet find the quiet street and cool, mist-driven wind smites your face refreshingly. You swing back easily to the present and everyday realities, but the old Hotel St. Louis is graven upon your heart. It will slip into your thoughts again and again no matter where you may be. At the theater perhaps, at the dance, in the busy, noisy rounds of life rath- CT than in the silences, you will re- member, you. will re-see it, re-live it. And you will hear the sound of rain seeping in-drip, drip, drip-the plain tive chirp of cricket and the scut- ter of rat in the broken wainscoting,

HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER DE MED ARKANSAS HAS LOST
 FIGHT FOR THE ROUTE.
RECOGNITION IS OBTAINED
Convention Also Adopted a Resolu- ton Favoring the Arkansas Scenic Route for ighway-Large
 Delegation Present.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 Reports from Kansas City that Ar kansas lost the Jefferson highway at the convention of the Jefferson High way Association were erroneous, ac- cording to w B. Owen, chairman or the State Highways Commission, and Hugh Carter, state highway engineer, who returned from the convention.
 After the meeting had completed all but routine business the 100 Ark ansas delegates fought for and ob- tained recognition MT. Owen said. Ut was decided that if Arkansas can have her part of the road built Tn a year, the official route shall come through the state. If the Oklahoma and Texas people fail to have their road completed in two years, and the Arkansas road has not been completed in one year, the official route is to be through Arkansas. If Arkansas fails to complete her road in year and the Oklahoma and Texas complete thelr road in the two years, Arkansas will still have one route of the road, known as the 'secenic route
 "The convention also adopted a res olution favoring the Arkansas scenic route for the highway The Arkansas route is 400 miles shorter than the Ok lahoma and Texas route, and we have no doubt it will be the more popular, even if it should not be designated the official route. The Arkansas delega- tion was one of the largest at the convention. There were 100 enthus lasts there representing every western county. Early in the convention d resolution was adopted, over our pro- test providing that Muskogee, Okla, and Dennison, Tex, be left on Ne official route and that they could not be taken from it. We fought against this resolution and nnally succeeded in having it reconsidered and so amended that Arkansas will have chance to get the official route

lilac tracery on the wall which once represented painting of De Soto's first view of the Mississippi.
 Led by the chateIaine.
 You glance at two holes high up in the outer wall which show the light like pair of prying eyes under shag- gy brows, then you take braeing breath and go on. But you halt ab- ruptly at the sound of an opening door and the echo of slow and drag ging feet coming nearer and nearer. In moment woman short and heavy of build, with the mingled air of gra- eiousness and reserve, is before you She is the chatelaine. You know it before she says "Entrez!" in her charming throaty French. She has on a skirt of faded crimson and blue, green. She wears cap of soiled DAlencon lace, and fine odd brooch of jet as sparkling black as her deep set eyes. Instinctively you drop silver piece into the bag which dangles with bunch of keys from her ample waist, and follow her shuffiing lead.
 To the accompaniment of her ex- planatory and also rapid French, you are shown salons with cracked and sunken marble tireplaces, salons with vanished onyx floors, once pressed by the satin-clad feet of many beautiful women, mildewed mirrors made in the days of the first empire. crystal chandeliers with broken pear-shaped prisms, and walls from which price, less frescoes and friezes and medal lions have been removed bits of bronze from an old balustrade, the bat tered fragments of fountain.
 One Room Still Home.
 When you have looked into count less chambers and heard the history of each, you come upon a half-open door which reveals scene of homely comfort. Here lives the chatelaine, alone, save for a white cockatoo, canary and tortoise shell cat. There's one old mended antique chair upholstered in gay colored chintz, spindle-legged table rich with carving and black with age, a shelf set with a row of clean blue dishes and shining pots and pans. A kettle singing over the fire gives out the appetizing smell

/OU are a lover of the quaint,
 the picturesque, the old, or you
 would not find yourself in the
 old slave mart of Le Vieux Carre de New Orleans on glowering day, when the storm clouds over hanging the East are sending out streaks of lightning.
 Presently you pass through an or nate entrance to the ground floor of a huge old wrinkled building, peeling off for it's final plunge into oblivion. It is the historic Hotel St. Louis, erected in 1S36 Don Pedro, emperor of Brazil, and afterward his grandson, were it's guests. Here banqueted statesmen, princes and famous men, and here, be- fore the changing of the tides, were sittings of legislative bodies, says the Kansas City Star.
 As you stand in the listening si- lence, in the dampness of mold and decay, you unconsciously visualize the life of long-gone yesterday Now suddenly you start, disturbed by an impression of sound down a long, dark, dusty passageway. It is only the rain seeping in, drip, drip, every spatter echoing hol1owly in the empti- ness. Again you drift back to your dreams, and again your nerves twang, this time at the scuttle of rat in the broken wainscoting behind an old slave block, showing the crumbling, though quite distinguishable, name of a famous auctioneer of ante-bellum days. Beyond the block and the mart about it your searching eyes find wide expanse of earth and cement floor bordered by rows of cells almost wholly stripped of bars, where slaves were held before their appearance upon the block to be sold to the high est bidder.
 With a swift intake of breath you reach the rusty gratings and peer into the dusky interior. You catch whiff of chill, earthly air and the plaintive chirp of cricket. It requires but a slight turn of your imagination to people the prison with soft-eyed pa tient slaves awaiting orders with the stolidity and obedience that was part of their nature. You see the old and the young, the strong and the weak, and all the various types, from

Good Roads Nicotine.

Hugh R. carter, state highway engi- neer, went to DeQueen to attend a meeting of Sevier county good road advocates who propose to create an improvement district to build a high. way across the county, north and south, to be part of the Jefferson highway. A similar meeting proba. bly, will be held in Polk county It is said that unless steps are taken imme- diately, counties east of Polk and Se- vier will endeavor to have the hign. way run through them.

coarse Herculean African to slender, clear-eyed octoroon. The octoroon holds your attention. She is young and strong and will sell for several thou sand dollars. In moment she stands on the block and the voice of the auc- tioneer leaps out like a whip lash: Gentlemen, this is a likely wench. What am I bid for herr" There fol- lows a rapid, sing-song recital of the girls salable points, ending with scarcely a noticeable break in the crisp, persuasive challenges:
 What am bid?"
 Bidding for the Slaves.
 A prosperous looking planter strides forward and touches her arms ap- praisingly, then his hand falls un- abashed to her strong bare ankles. He steps back obviously pleased, call ing out with assumed indifference: "One thousand dollars!" Higher the bids go, higher and higher; voices rise and fall, rise and soar and swell, un- til at last the hammer falls, the bab- ble subsidies and the octoroon steps down to her new master. As by no volition of your own, your mind slips back to the cells and to a buxom, kind-faced nanny, created and en- dowed to nurse the offspring of white mothers. She will bring but a modest price in the mart, for there are many of her kind. Here is young quad room, there a gray old Creole darky, somewhere else a very black and strapping half-grown negress. You sense their speaking voices, deep and melodious, jargon of French and Spanish inlaid with many little Eng fish words. Suddenly, in the cells occupied by the men, the coarser blacks break out in a burst of wild, weird song, cut through by the tam tam of drum made of a gourd GOV cred with sheepskin.
 A tail and sinewy negro rises and steps out quickly to the center of the floor and dances with rolling eyes and gaping mouth to the time of the primi- tive drum.
 Now, bat futters out of the shad- ows and brushes your face, while you stir out of cramping muscles with a muttered word of relief. Drip, drip, drip, the rain seeps in, steadily, now, like clock ticking.
 You mount (; flight of broad and creaking walnv- stairs and pause at the first landing to view pink and

Short and Sweet.

As way to beat lawyers who thrive on long-drawn-out will contests we recommend the last will and testament of a Los Angeles man who died leav- ing an estate of $110,00O This was his will, fourteen words in all
 T direct that all my property be distributed according to the laws of California.
 As an example of multum in parvo this will is entitled to rank as a classic. Maybe this mans will was superfuous, but he had the fun of making will, which is all the satis- faction that many of them get out of it.

More than 100 Hot Springs business and professional men met in the Bust. ness Mems League The meeting was under the auspices of that organiza.. tion. A decided stand was taken TOT the enforcement of the prohibition and gambling laws of the state.
 The meeting followed conference of the Board of Governors with Cir cult Judge Scott Wood a few days ago, when that official said he would appreciate the cooperation of the Business League in the effort he is making to drive bootleggers out Of Hot Springs and to eliminate gamb, ling houses that are alleged to have opened.
 It has been reported for some time that bootleggers were getting very bold and that one could play roulette, faro and other games. Some of the clubs are alleged to have opened. The people, in a measure, took matters into their own hands and went on record, in resolution introduced by George A. Callahan and adopted by a unanimous rising vote, to support Judge Wood
 It was pointed out that Hot Springs is about to stage what will be one of the largest race meetings even seen in this city, and the business inter- ests back of that movement do not intend that anything shall injure that sport. City and county officers at tended the meeting. Some criticism of officials was made, to which the of ficers replied. They said they are ready to enforce the laws and all they desire is for those who say they have evidence of violations of the liquor and gambling laws to come to the front with that evidence. and not side step because of the hotoriety that would follow.
