One day stranger walked into
the drug store where Art Steel
we'll, prescription druggist, was
working in the east. Tile Is at
present employed by local con-
Germ and is we'll known in this
city, AS Art was compound
ing the prescription the strang-
er said: 81 would not put so
much of this in it, and l would
put a little more of that and not
so much of the other" Are
you a druggist?" asked Art.
NO" came the strangers re-
ply. "Then why do you tell me
how to run my business?" ask
ed Art. well you see," said
the stranger, II am the manager
of the baseball team and | see
you almost every day at the ball
park shouting in loud accents
just how I should run the ball
team"
Il is said that 'DObie" Shumake
(Newl ywed) (get that, Dobie)
will play football again next
season. The question also arises
will he enter the boxing ring
as he has done in the bygone
days? We feel perfectly sure
in saying no to that question,
not that he won't fight but that
he declared his bout with Bunk
er to be his last.
Jack Quill will call his prospec.
tive ball players together soon
to outline plans for the season,
elect a captain, etc. The meet
ing will be held at the train
mems rooms and all players will
be invited.

TWO COWS FALL IN
 SIXTEEN FOOT WELL

Sunday afternoon at Rosston two full grown cows fell in 16-foot well which had about two feet of water in it. Fortunately both cows fell with their heads up Saturday a team ran away there and the wagon struck the curbing on the well, tearing it en- tirely away. The well was covered with boards and it is presumed that the cows were fighting when they fell through the boards into the we'll. Their believing soon attracted a crowd and ropes were placed around their necks and one at time they were removed. Neither of the animals suf- fered any injury from the fall.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PERMITS
 WOMEN TO PRACTICE LAW

Little Rock, Feb. 28.-The General Assembly yesterday took another i'm portant forward step in the enfran- chisement of women, when the House passed the bill by Senator Brown to permit women to practice law. The act amends Section No. Al of Kirby's Digest to read as follows:
 Every citizen of the age of 21 years of good moral character and who possesses the requisite qualifca- tions of learning and ability may upon and in the manner herein after provided be admitted to practice as an attorney and counsellor at law in the courts of Arkansas"
 This removes all distinction of sex so far as the practice of law is con- cerned. Arkansas now takes it's place among the small company of states which recognizes intellectual acquire ments as a requisite to professional service.

IRA HART NOT GUILTY

In Squire Smiths court this morn- ing an examining trial was had in which Ira Hart was charged with lar ceny and receiving money under false pretenses. It was charged that Hart had sold COW which did not belong to him. The proof showed that dur ing last fall Ira Hart and Marion Hart his father, were engaged in buying and selling cattle on large scale and that during the winter a part of their cattle broke our and it was several days before they were collected up. It was charged that stray COW turn ed up at Wilbur Clark's residence and that Ira Hart claimed to be the owner of the COW and sold it to Clark for $30.OO.
 The evidence showed that there was some question as to the ownership of the COW, and that the sale was made with the distinct understanding that there was some doubt as to the owner ship ship, and that it was agreed that the money should be refunded in case the COW should prove not to belong to Hart. The COW was found to be the property of Gus Ingram and there upon the $3000 check was promptly returned to Clark. The court found that there was no evidence of any fraud or unfair dealing on Hart's part, but that the trade was made in good faith on Hart's part, and the court promptly discharged him.

new DIX, ocl. . ne records ol
the sixteen major league clubs dur

some unusual, and interesting features.
While these statistics are not based
upon the official league averages, they
conform closely to the authentic per-
centages and for the purposes of COM
pariapn are thoroughly reliable be-
ing compiled, in many cases from
the official box scores.
The records show that the Chicago
American League Club. winner Of the
World mpionship Series led the
Junior organization in both the num-
Der of games won and the total num-
Der of runs scored. In no other de-
partment did the White Sox hold the
premier position although the aver
age of the team was very high. Bos-
ton played the greatest number of
games during the season due to five
tie contests. Detroit, which finished
fourth. led in hitting while the Bos-
ton Red Sox held the opposing teams
to the lowest number Of runs
The figures also give a clear in
sight into the loose play of the Phil
adelphia Athletics, who finished in
last place The Mac!<men scored next
to the largest total of runs being but
thirty-three behind the Chicago club
in this respect and but twcnty-three
short Of tho Detroit record which
enabled the Tigers to win first place
