HAD ALL HER AFFECTION
Ono Woman in the World Who Was
Adored With a Devotion That
Was Intense.

She had known her since her earli-
est infancy and never taken a step
without her guidance. She could not
recall one twenty-four hours not spent
In her presence. While at times in
tensely wearied of her, there was
never a moment when she would not
have abandoned anything for her sake.
That she tyrannized over her and
caused her to make mistakes, at times
fatal errors, she never denied. But 1t
never interfered with her passionate
admiration of her. Sometimes she
found herself going to extreme lengths
for her. When in trouble she borrowed
money for her.. when in grief she tried
desperately to console her. Once she
attempted to steal woman's lover for
her. She thought her the most won
derful woman in the world and that
nothing was too good for her. She
was never jealous of her, but she tried
to make others envy her. There were
times when her love for her caused
her to forget reason. There were
times, also, when for short period
che hated her, had contempt for her.
But she never failed in her service or
to return in her alteration of-herself.

as chairman OF the Minimum Wage
commission, called a special meeting
of the commission for April 8, to con-
slider complaints OF violation OF the
minimum wage law by independent
telephone companies in the state. rhe
Rice Belt Telephone Company of
Stuttgart and the Boone County Tele-
phone Company of Harrison were re-
quested to send representatives, Mr..

Recall Edvore d.

Developments of the past year IN
Arkansas, especially in the matter OF
pardons, have caused strong senti-
ment throughout the state in favor Of
the recall, and it is practically set
tied that the next Legislature Will
adopt a resolution submitting the
question to the voters of the state at
the election to be held in 1918. A
number of senators and representa-
tives who will occupy seats in the next
Legislature are openly advocating the
recall, and from present indications a
number of resolutions will be pre-
sened seeking to submit the question.
Six years ago the Legislature, by a
large majority, adopted the recall
resolution, which was approved by
Gov. Donaghey.

Borrowed From Public School

Little Rock

Little Rock
The state board of education at a
special meeting requested Gov. Hays
to take steps to provide $4,000 for
the state sinking fund to pay interest
on common school bonds, for which
the last legislature failed to provide
The interest, amounting to S34,035, is
due next summer. There is S11,C0O in
the treasury to the credit Of the in
terest and the sinking fund and no
more to be paid in until the legisla-
ture meets again,
In 1876, the tate was financially EN-
barrassed and borrowed from the pub
lie school fund to pay running ex-
penses. No interest was paid on the
amount. In 1899, the legislature voted
to issue bonds due in 80 years, which
should be placed in the common school
fund, and to provide for creation OF
a sinking fund to take them up and
pay interest to the school fund. In
1913, there was surplus in the inter
est fund and the legislature voted to
pay the tax for interest into the gen.
eral revenue fund, which was in debt.
The 1915 legislature did not change
the provision and few days ago the
state treasurer reported to the board
of education that the surplus that eX-
listed in 1913 is exhausted and that
only $1,000 of the $34,OS5 due for in
terest OF the bonds is in the treasury
The board voted to extend a char
ter to the Training School for Nurses
at Pine Bluff, and appointed a commit
tee to consider similar action rela'
tive to the Arkansas Law School,
which previous to last June was con-
nected with the University of Ark
ansas.

GUARD YOUR FAMILY

PERUNA protects the family
against coughs, colds, catarrh,
bronchitis, catarrh OF the stomach,
liver and kidneys. 1t is just as
sure to relieve case of catarrh of
the bowels as it is a case of catarrh
OF the head.
Anyone suffering from catarrh,
severe or mild, acute or chronic, in
any organ or part OF the human
body, should at once get bottle OF
PERUNA.
As soon as the value of PERUNA
Is fully appreciated in every house
hold, both as a preventive and
relief from catarrhal affections,
tens of thousands of lives will be
saved and hundreds of thousands
of chronic lingering cases will be
prevented. PERUNA, indeed, is a
household safeguard.
A course of PERUNA never fails
to bring relief in such cases, since
there is no remedy like it, as
thousands of people have testified.
Peruna Tablets aro now available

GREAT WALL OF FLAMES BURNED
ITS WAY THROUGH BLOCKS
OF RESIDENCES.
ESTIMATE S2,OOO,000 LOSS
Destruction of Practically Every Mer.
camille Establishment Has Cut Off
Food Supply and Clothing
Suffering Is Great.

Paris, Tex.-At least 60 per cent
of the residence and business sections
Of Paris were wiped out by a fire that
swept through the city The fire
started in warehouse at the outskirts
of the city and was quickly famed by
a high wind into great wall of flame
that burned its way through blocks Of
residences into the business district.
A hurried survey shows that not
more than Is of the more than 140
buildings in the business district is
still standing.
The fire started in the extreme
southern portion OF the city. 1t has
lett funnel-shaped wake of destruc.
ton two blocks wide at the start and
from eight to 10 blocks wide where
the fire was raging.
The suffering in Paris is great. The
destruction of practically every mer-
camille establishment has cut off the
food supply, and unless food and
clothing is sent in from outside points
there will be keen distress.
Paris has a population of about 20,-
600, of which 40 per Genet are negroes
OF the total it was estimated at least
5000 are now without shelter and
food.
Residents have been so busy in
combating the flames that they have
given little thought to succoring the
homeless and destitute.
This section has been without rain
for over so days and the frame build
ings were consumed as tinder. The
Paris Fire Department, a semi-volun-
teer organization, with apparatus far
from being capable to combat such a
confagration, was powerless to stop
the onrushing flames. Scarcity of wa
ter was an impediment
Just how the fire started is not
known. The warehouse and the Paris
compress, with hundreds of bales Of
cotton, was first consumed. The f1re
then spread to adjacent residences,
built closely together, and of light
frame construction.
It is IS blocks from the compress
to the center of the business district.
This distance was laid in ruins in
less than an hour, the flames leaving
in their wake a path from one to
three blocks wide A total of 27
blocks comprised the burned area in
the residence district.
Sweeping almost due north the fire
reached the public square. In this dis
trict were located the exchanges Of
two telephone companies and one tele-
graph company. Telephone girls
were forced to fee. The chief opera
tor of one telephone company risked
her life to go into the burning ex'
change to rescue the company's books
and records,

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform day at-
