that he had bought atropine paste OF
druggist; also that he had won d
prize of game In local lottery, and
his prize was six thrushes. When the
evidence thus became formidable the
old doctor confessed, but said that be
was merely trying to play a practical
joke on Tournatoire. The courts OF
France, like those of the other coun
tries, had not much appreciation Of
humor, so Eustachy was convicted ano
sentenced to eight years of toll with
out recompense in prison..
So this eminent physician, wearing
letters, left the town where he had
long been honored and respected, tc
take his place among felons, and all
because he could not overcome his
jealous spirit. 1t is unnecessary to
tack moral to the story.
The case is celebrated in criminal
annals because 1t Is the only one OF
its kind. Doctors may, and doubtless
do, hate each other now and then. but
Eustachy was the only one on record
who tried to remove a rival By
poison.

the wall shall be waterproofed TO keen
moisture away from the foundation.
Inside the foundation walls Is a
solid concrete floor which is laid off
with hangers at the sides of the center
feeding alley, and eow-standing floors,
the front portions being on a level with
the manger floors. The standing floors
slope from the center to the cutters.
The alleys behind the cutters are sew
eral inches lower than the standing
floors and are wide enough to make
room for the manure carriers which
run on overhead tracks. This arrange
ment is excellent for the cleaning Of
the stalls, it being possible to put the
barn in good condition easily and
quickly with minimum of hand labor.
There are doors at each end of the
litter alleys, opening into the yard, so
that 1t Is possible to have easy access
to the stable from any direction. The
litter carrier track may be carried out
at either END or the alley, but Ii is
usually found to be most satisfactory
If carried out at the end near the sllo,
thus leaving the other end of the struc-
ture clear.
There is a well-made ceiling over the
COW stable which gives eight feet of
headroom In the clear above the floor
of the center feed alley. This ceiling
is carefully constructed TO make 1t air
tight. Special attention is given to ven,
tilatlon, 1t being intended that flues be
placed in the walls which will allow
the incoming air'to carry the foul air
up the slope Of the roof and out of the
monitor windows in the center of the
roof.

returned to his Office madden than
ever.
Six weeks later Tournatoire invited
some Of his friends to a little banquet
at his home, and on the afternoon Of
the festive day a basket Of game ar
rived at the house. Half dozen beau
tiful thrushes were in the basket. The
thrushes were cooked, but there was
such an abundance of good things at
the feast that nobody ate them. The
guests dispersed at a late hour, well
fed and happy, and no doubt zone
VINO Was There" wrote a story of the
joyous occasion for the local paper.
On the following morning Doctor
Tournatoire returned from his office
to his home on some errand, and, upon
entering, was astonished to find his
wife trying to stand on her head. AS
sisting her to her feet, he asked her
what she was trying to do, and she
began explaining that all her relatives
were dead, her husband killed in a
duel, and she wanted to die herself,

woman both crazy and blind. The
doctor. alarmed, went into the kitchen
to question the cook, and found her
trying to put the dog in the stove.
The dog was large one, and defended
itself herolcally, but the cook seemed
to have superhuman strength, and she
considered the work OF cremation
highly important. The doctor rescued
the dog, and tried to get some In.
formation from the woman, but she
would talk Of nothing but death. Ev.
erybody was dead. she said, and she
had received spirit message ordering
her to put the dog in the stove. Her
eyes also were dilated, and she seemed
half blind.
A layman In such a painful position
would have thought 1t a plain case of
insanity, but the doctor, after a mo-
ment's consideration, decided what
was the trouble.
"They have been poisoned with sui
plate of atroplne," said he, and gov
erned himself accordingly, to such
good purpose that the two women were
convalescent In a few days.
They explained that they had each
eaten thrush that morning, and sick
ness followed, and they remembered
no more. The doctor examined the
remaining birds, and found them sat
urated with the poison. The news was
made public, and 1t was taken for
granted at once that Eustachy had
been playing another Of his pranks.
The old doctor was arrested, and
strong evidence against him soon was
Forthcoming. 1t was easily established

and his practice grew in a manner
that must have been gratifying,s
All this was gall and wormwood to
old Doc Eustachy. who found himself
almost abandoned by his townsmen.
The calls for his services became so
infrequent that he spent most of his
time in his dingy office, calling down
maledictions upon his young rival. He
hadn't pride enough to keep quiet. He
talked Of nothing but Tournatoire,
whom he denounced as a quack, an
impostor, and everything else unpleas-
ant. He became such bore that peo-
pie avoided him, and when he went
for a walk he had the whole street

A day or two after the election the

the wire-edged words in the French

down into the. feedroom between the
stable and the silo, there being no
other connection between the stable
and the storage room above. The only
objection to keeping bedding In such
storage room is removed by having
1t dropped into this separate feed
room, the door into the stable being
closed, thus keeping out all dust which
may be stirred up in handling the ma
terial. The special construction Of the
floor overhead makes the sitting of
dust down from the storage room very
slight. and the air in the stable is
therefore kept In the best condition at
all times.

man to carry on his business In the

and more to the attention of those who
have contributed to the rapid advance
of improved conditions In this business
during recent years. The new methods
have found basis for operation In al
most every community and the public
has been aroused to such point that
the dairyman who does not follow the
trend of the times is very likely to
have a shrinking market for his prod
ucts. The days of the old tumble
down dairy barn have passed and the
modern structure must pass the APP
prevail Of the critical age In which 1t Is
erected.
One of the modern principles Is
shown in the tendency. In some parts
of the country where farmers are do
ing special dairy work along sanitary
lines, to house the dairy cows in such
separate stable as is shown here.
The purpose of this practice is to
eliminate the dirt and dust occasioned
by handling of feed or other material
from the air in the stable. Clean air
is as important as clean feed or clean
floors. This purpose is further aided
by the ease with which the problem
of ventilation may be solved when the
herd is kept in building by itself.
The practice is an admirable one and
it should be given the hearty approval
of every man interested in improving
the conditions of his property. 1t may
be the thought of some that the ex-
pense involved in adding building for
the purpose Of housing a few dairy
cows is not compensated for by the re-
turns from the business. This is not
true In a great many cases, for the ex-
perlence of many farmers, who, with
the help Of one man, are able to make

STEAM LAUNDRY
 IS AGAIN CLOSED

The Keep U-Neat laundry, operat- ed here since October by Sol Frank lin, today closed it's doors and MT Franklin stated that the machinery would probably be sold to Argenta parties and moved to that city. Lack of patronage was given as the cause for discontinuing operation of the laundry, Mr. Franklin said that while they enjoyed a good patronage when they first located here, for sev- eral weeks past the plant had not been paying expenses.
 The plant was established here by J. H. Landes, who also found it un- profitable and later sold to MT. Franklin. The Conway Sanitary laundry discontinued operations sev- eral months ago and Conway is with out steam laundry, for the first time in a number of years.

CALL ACCEPTED
 BY REV. S|PES

A formal acceptance by Rev. L. M Sipes of the call to the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Conway was announced at services at that church yesterday. Rev Sipes, it was stated, will probably not be able to enter upon his new duties before March 15 and will require short leave during April in order to com plete his work for a doctors degree in Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at Fort Worth, Tex, but after that time he will devote his en- tire time to the local church.
 Rev. E. J. A. Mckinney of Little Rock, editor of the Baptist Advance, preached to large congregations at the morning and evening hours at the Baptist church yesterday. The dea- cons will endeavor to have the pulpit filled each Sunday until Rev. Sipes is ready to assume the pastorate.

State Game Warden w. F.

DISTRICT CONTEST
 ASSN ORGANIZED SIX COUNTIES INCLUDED
FIRST ANNUAL SCHOOL MEET TO BE HELD AT RUSSELL
 VILE APRIL 21.

The Arkansas Valley School and Contest Association, embracing six counties, was organized at meeting of educators at Russellvile Satur- day. Annual contests in reading, music and athletics, similar to those conducted for several years in the state association, will be held, and the first meeting will be at Russell vile on April 21
 The six counties included in the district are Faulkner, Conway, Pope, Johnson, Perry and Yell.
 According to Supt. J. P. Womack, who represented the Conway school at the meeting Saturday, it is not in- tended that the district association shall compete with or have any rela- ton to the state association. A simi- lar district association has been sue cessfully operated in southeastern Arkansas for several years. Prof. Womacll states that it enables many more pupils to compete in the various events than would be possible in a state association, and will strengthen rather than weaken their interest in the annual state meeting
 For convenience. it was decided to elect officers and the executive com nittee from Russellville and Dardan- ellie. Principal Charles E. Scott of the Second District Agricultural School was elected president; Supt. J. B. Bum of Dardanelle, vice presi- dent, and Supt. E. P. Hall of Russell vile secretary. These with County Examiner F. H. Shinn and Principal w. F. Hall of Russellville compose the executive committee
 The contests to be held on April 21 at Russellville will consist of field and track events in the athletic di- vision, vocal and instrumental music, declamations and recitations. Every school in the six counties will be in Vited to send representatives and full details of the meeting will be an- nounced later.

atlons are one part Portland cement to not more than two parts fine az gregate to not more than three parts coarse aggregate. Our attitude on this feature of construction has been taken afer careful consideration, as experience has shown that successful roads of this type are not built with a leaner mixture The slight increase in cost by the use of richer mixture is warranted by the ultimate life of the road. Some successful concrete highways have been built with l-2-4 mix, but such construction re- quires care in the selection and grad ing of both the fine and coarse aggre- gate and additional time of mixing.
 With reference to the sub ject of thickness, we would recommend in general a road six inches at the sides with a flat sub-grade and the crown HOO the width of the road In some locations road five inches at the sides might be used, but this should be decided by the engineer. We would not advise road four inches thick under any consideration
