If the traveller visits this district he
wonders how men ever came to settle
there, what necessity drove them TO make
their homes in a region where the rocky
ribs of the earth break everywhere
through its skin. Wherever The eye
roams there is the brown of bog, the gray
of rock and the little patches of green
which appear here and there are strewn
with powders like the tombstones Of hu
man hope long buried There is not tree
where the earth could shelter itself from
its own storms and yet if we climb hill
we see multtudes Of little holdings sep
arated by gray walls Of stone built up from
the litter of the fields, and these gray walls
running into each other appear like a gi-
gantc network Of ragged lace
What attracted people here? There is in
deed wild beauty here when the rain
stops and the sun shines and the clouds
scud over the sky and the world is an
amazement of vivid color; the streaming
roads are ablaze with glittering silver and
the hills are blue and gold, the holows
where the shadows fall are purple and the
little lakes CLEAN like jewels set in bronze;
but that beauty is Improbable save 10 the
artists eye, and we wonder whether these
fairy flashes Of color, the harvest of Wis

young man with a new job. He was
prophet of the Golden Age. There was
inspiration for all in his voice and in his
eyes.
In time he became assistant Secre-
tary of the society, the Irish Agricult-
ural Organization Society, and editor
of its little weekly organ, "The Irish
Homestead" The average farm paper
is a prosaic thing, but THE Homestead
is revelation of wisdom and humor
and beauty. It's editorials could be
studied with profit in our schools of
journalism as models Of English prose.

Most of the people in that country
were small farmers who were poor to

born in debt and they never got out Of

George Moore. During the years that
he has been editor and agricultural or
ganizer he has produced also books OF
verse and essays, he has been the soul

Five years ago when Kipling gave forth
his bitter rhymed attack on the Irish,

rushed to the defence of his country
men. Not Whistler, not Arnold, at their
best, ever demolished an opponent with
such dispassionate epic completeness.
Of this polemic, included in his latest
book, "Imaginations and Reveries," the
conclusion follows:
You had the ear of the world and YOU
poisoned it with prejudice and ignorance.
You had the power of song, and you have

to sit ON q long-legged stool in the shop

At night he pondered over old volumes
about the ancient gods and heroes Of his

would go out into the country and ram

there were times when life oppressed
him with q tragic sense Of splendors

One night when he came out of the
shop the heavens were ablaze with
happy stars, and he looked up at them
with wistful envy. After he got to his
room his mood crystallized in a poem.
A man went forth one day at eve;
The long day toll for him was done;

Little Rock
 Dr. E. P. Bledsoe, whose dismissal as superintendent of the insane asy- um was recently upheld by the su- preme court, asked for a rehearing.
 There were numerous assignments of alleged errors in the petition for a rehearing One was that the su- preme court had erred in not holding that q compromise agreement reach ed between Dr. Bledsoe and the board during the first of the controversy was & conformation and that it es- topped the board from renewing it's charges.
 The petition asked that it be given an oral argument before the entire court. as the personnel of the court recently had been changed. Justice T. H. Humphreys having been ap- pointed to succeed Justice W. F. Kirby.
 That the court erred in not holding the boards hearing of charges against Dr. Bledsoe did not constitute a real trial, but was subterfuge, was one assignment, also that the court erred in holding that there was substantial evidence sufficient to sustain the con- viction of the appellee, and erred in not holding that the board acted ar bitrarily without legally sufficient evi- dence. and without any jurisdiction in fact The holding of the court in this case amounts to the adoption of the scintilla rule of evidence, and leaves an officer whom the law says can be removed only for cause re- movable at the whim or caprice of the board.

For the third time in less than a year a mistrial has been entered in the case of the State of Arkansas against Thomas Shaw Bradbury. in- dicted on charge of murder in the first degree following the assassina- tion on December 26, 1915, of P. c. Jenkins, wealthy planter and mer- chant, at the Jenkins home, in Sher- Till. The jury reported in the cir cult court at Pine Bluff that it was evenly divided on the question of the guilt and innocence of the accused, stood six to six, and was absolutely unable to agree upon verdict.
 The court then discharged the jury, and within few moments Bradbury was at liberty under bond of s2,500, and accompanied by his brother-in- law, Alex Browning. of Orange, Va, had started in an automobile for Lit tie Rock, thus to obviate any diff culty that might be used by hot headedness on the part of friends of Jenkins.
 Bradbury's parents and his sister, who have been here to attend the trial, departed later on the Cotton Belt for Memphis, where Bradbury will join them. and the entire party will proceed to Orange, Va, the Brad bury home.
 The opinion is generally held that there will not be another trial of this case, unless some new and vital evi- dence is discovered, which it is ad- mitted is not likely. This opinion is strengthened by the small bond re- quired to assure Brauoury's attend ance upon court in the future.
 The state authorities will not dis cuss their plans for the future in the case.
 The Bradbury case mas been easily the most sensational ever tried in the courts of Jefferson county At the first trial the jury stood seven to five for conviction. In the second trial the jury stood eight to four for ac- quittal, although on the frs, ballot it stood eight to four for conviction. The third trial resulted six to six. Of the 36 jurors in the three trials r stood for conviction and 19 for ac- qulCtal.
 It is generally believed that Mrs. Jenkins, widow of the slain planter. will never be brought to trial on the indictment of being accessory to the murder of Jenkins. She nas been at liberty under bond of s25,000 and it is expected that at the least this bond will be reduced. even if no nolle prosecute is entered.

Juarez, Mexico.-Four times Fran. cisco Villa attacked the first line trenches which defend Chihuahua City and each time he was repulsed, leaving his dead and wounded on the plains outside the city to the south, reports to military headquarters re- ceived by Gen. Gonzales here from the besieged city said.
 At II o'clock (mountain time) the high-crowned hats of the bandits were seen to the south along the Mexican Central main line, according to these messages. The battle was opened few minutes later with salvo from canon on Santa Rosa Hill, the key to the state capital. The first and second line trenches, protected by barbed wire entanglements, took up the fighting, and by noon general engagement was in progress along the entire southern line, which continued through the early afternoon.
 At that time the booming of large calibre guns on Santa Rosa Hill and other artillery stationed along the first line trenches was so deafening that it was almost impossible to hear the click of the telegraph instruments, the military operator in Chihuahua City told the operator in Juarez
 The field as covered with dead and dying men, one message stated. A sortie by Carranza cavalry, SUD- ported by artillery resulted in the capture of many Villa prisoners who were without ammunition and had gone since morning without food or water another message declared. Villa in person was leading his forces against the Carranza troops, according to the reports received at the Juarez military headquarters from Chihuahua City, given out by Carranza officers.
 The bandit leader was said to be riding horseback, with his crutch strapped to his saddle. He was said by the de facto authorities to have approximately $500 men. As he is reported to have more than 5000 troops under his command, the re- | mainder of the bandits are believed to be advancing to re-enforce him.
