As the result of the measures which he instituted the situation is said to have been got thoroughly in hand, and while the hapitual fighting still continues there is no longer any fear of serious trouble.
 The handling of the tribesmen is largely T matter of persohal influcnc" and Sir George is credited in officia circles with being extraordinarily sue cessful One thing that undoubtedl. has contributed to his success is the fact that he is q typical leader O men; tall, broad shouldered, keen eyed quick of mind and with a particular, strong personality-the type th> tTibesmen respects.

 The Afridi. the most warlike and powerful of the tribesmen have been remaining strictly neutral ever since
 the arrival of the chief commissioner although they were restless when he left England. Here the personal in fluence of Sir George came into play. for he had worked among the Afridl for nine years and is known and respected by the people. The fact that the Afridi are friendly is most import

 F. s H A WAR, NORTH WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE, India, Jan. 1.-The British army officers and Tommies in this northwestern section of British India who often turn their thoughts longingly towards the ac- tivities in the great theaters of war solace themselves with the fact that they are holding "the eastern end of the front anyway. Under the direc- ton of Sir George Roos Keppel, chief commissioner for the north west frontier province. they are keeping open the Peiwar Kotal and Khyber passes. the gateways into Afghan lstan, and are preventing the tribes men of the intervening territory from carrying into British India a warfare which might have a strong bearing on the situation as a whole.
 When the war broke out there was considerable uneasiness among British officials regarding the thousands of independent tribesmen who are ever ready to make trouble, and who. if they should succeed in burying their brlbal feuds and unite. would present serious menace. Members of Ger man and Turkish emissaries had made their way into this independent re- zion and had been busy trying to stir up the mountaineers to war play ing on the religious fanaticism of the latter To certain extent they were successful, for they created more or less unrest and aroused hopes of conquest which held dangerous poten 1. tiaIties

Sea storehouse of Treasure.

Perhaps everything that is lost finds its way to the sea, the great swallower of valuable things, which certainly has a capacity equal to hiding from human sight every movable object on earth. Among the strangest stories of the sea are those relating to treasures; fished from it's depths. The incident of a fish being caught, and having in its stom- Hch ring, has occurred so frequently that 1t has lost its strangeness. The fish of the sea are voracious and not at all discriminating, so that it Is al. most impossible to say what has not been found in their stomachs. Sharks have been made to disgorge pipes, boots, books, money, clothing and hard ware, and other fish are but little less voracious. Vast as it IS, the sea, in course of ages, has received So lnany wrecks that its bottom is storehouse of treasure.

Trade Made Palestine Great.

All that made Palestine populous and prosperous at any time was the course of trade. The route for ex- change of products between Assyria and Egypt was over the desert of Stony Arabia, through the gaps in the Lebanon mountains, and over the best ford of the Jordan. From there the fine wares of Ispahan and Babylon and Nineveh were either sent down into Egypt, or carried few miles farther to the ancient city of Acre, which then had the best harbor on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. This .pros- perity lasted until the harbor. at Acre began to silt up, and the course of trade changed to the north through Damascus and Antioch. Then Pales- tine became poor, because the people went where there were greater oppor- tunities, as they have to this day.

An Almost Invisible Animal.

In recent contribution to the Field, Frances Pitt gives some interesting observations on the protective color- ing of the water shrew. The shrew had caught, she says, soon made Itself at home in the small aquarium prepared for it, and swam round exam- ming the ferns, stones and moss. It was noteworthy that when swimming on the surface 1t floated quite high in the water, being only submerged to the line where its black and white fur met. But it seemed to prefer a sub- aqueous mode of progression, and swan beneath the surface most of the time. When viewed from above 1t ap- peared as streak of silver on account of the numerous bubbles caught in its fur. When seen from the side, through the water, the effect was quite differ ent: the little animal was nearly in- visible. It was even more difficult to see when I cut off the side light and had only light from the top-when the conditions were those that occur in pond or stream. Then the bubbles of air entangled in its black coat made such a perfect reflecting surface that It's surroundings were mirrOred in it and the white stomach neutralized the shadows. .%

CI1Y'S BABY BANK
 TWO YEARS OLD,
 AND GROWS FAST
National Bank of Arkansas Has Enjoyed Remarkable Growth
 in War Time.

Two years ago today the National Bank of Arkansas of Pine Fluff open ed for business. Deposits the first day totaled $3S ,695. Today deposits at the institution are nearly three quarters of million, the last re- port to the United States comptroller of the currency on June 20 showing deposits of $64S,63S. The bank start ed with a paid up capital and surplus of s110,000; today the bank would show capital, surplus and undivided profits of more than $120,o00, which is profit of more than $10,0O0 above the $6000 paid out in dividends to stockholders.
 The remarkable growth of the Ma tional Bank of Arkansas is attributed by it's friends to the conservative policy purued and the personnel of its directorate and official corps, these consisting of c. H. Triplett, R. Carnahan, J. A. Perdue, Chas. Hay cock, H .Bringman, c. H. Triplett, IT,, J. H. Hudson, l.. w. Clement and R. H. Stearns, with c. H. Triplett as president, L. w. Clement and H. Bringman, vice presidents; w. c. Hudson, cashier, and V. D. Webb, assistant cashier. Judged by the rule applied by bank men that to be successful banks deposits must be from three to five times as great as it's capital-the Ma tional Bank of Arkansas is shown to have attained success far above the average, for it's deposits are more than ix times as great as it's cap ital And this has been accomplished in two years.
 The manner in. which the National Bank of Arkansas is managed has won it staunch friends, who declare that its officers have shown them selves to be intensely interested in the development of the resources of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county, anG ever ready to lend advice and en couragement. and to assist financial ly every project or business worthy of the credit desired

"Booze" First Meant "DrInk."

The word booze" came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form "bous" or "bouse." At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely drink" and to speak of gentleman as focusing" his wine was not libelous or even deroga- tory, writes Robert P. Utter in Har- per's Magazine. Somehow it acquired the added suggestion of excess and bad company, and by the time of Shakespeare we find 1t in glossaries of the argot of thieves and gypsies. The process may be understood when we think of the sinister meaning we often attach to the simple word drink" 1" which might conceivably run the same course if we misuse 1t often enough.

Oldest Bird Known.

The oldest bird known is called the archeopteryx. That is Greek word, which really means ancient wing" It was an extraordinary bird. It had a long tail, not all feathers as a birds tail is now, but like lizards tail, long and thick, with bones and flesh, and with feathers growing from 1t. It had two legs, with which 1t could walk or perch in the trees, but 1t had two other limbs like hands, which it probably used to climb about the trees instead of flying from bough to bough, as birds now do. It had curious eye fitted with sort of armor shield, as the rep tiles have, and its beak was armed with great strong teeth. There is no such bird as this now.
