Elephants Halt Train.

When a circus train on the South ern Pacific came to an involuntary stop near Galveston not long ago, in. vestigation by the engineer revealed the cause, it is reported, in carload of elephants right behind the water tank of the engine tender.

The elephant trainer was called from the caboose to, q consultation and solved the problem of moving the stalled train by unloading the four of- lending elephants, who were then hitched in tandem in front of the loco motive and compelled to pull it for q distance of three miles along the track to the nearest water supply, where the tender was replenished.- Popular Mechanics Magazine.

STE.ADFAST CONFIDENCE
The Following Statement Should Form Conclusive Proof of Merit to Every Pine Bluff
 Reader.
.2~.ZreWAuoMsl,

Could stronger proof of the merit of any remedy be desired than the statements of grateful endorsers who say their confidence has been undi- unfinished by lapse of time? These are the kind of statements that are ap- bearing constantly in your local papers for Doan's Kidney Pills. They are twice-told and confirmed, with new enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt the following? It's from q Pine Bluff resident:
 F. P. King: salesman, 160 West Thirteenth street, says: My kidneys didn't act as they should and l had backaches and pains through my lcins. Doan's Kidney Pills fixed my kidneys up in good shape and remov- ed the backache and pain" Over two years, MT. King said: "I haven't felt in need of kidney med icine since I used Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago. Ihave been prac- tically free from kidney weakness, since that time."
 Pirce soc. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. King has twice publicly recom- mended. Foster -Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv.

WOMAN'S WAR SERVICE
 IN AGRICULTURE.

Among the 100000 suffragists now mobilizing for war service, in response to the call to the colors by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the Ma tional American Woman Suffrage As sociation, work on the soil seems to be popular The women are putting their accustomed suffrage initiative and energy into the organization of hoe and spade brigades--by no means Deglecting their suffrage work as they dig and plant. -
 With the co operation of State and Federal authorities, already eight states are in the vanguard for agri- cultural work.
 Connecticut suffragists are setting apart patriotic lots" for every rural and small town league. Upon a farm, eight miles from Greenwich, belonging to Miss Ryan and Miss Runtz-Rees, will be established the Fairfield County Camp Farming School. Here an eight weeks course in practical farming and care of stock is to be given.

Productive Years and Others.

Insurance men have figured out that the most productive years of mems lives are those between the ages of thirty and forty-fve; that the danger line for reverses begins at the age of forty; that 75 per cent of men at that age have setbacks; that after reaching fifty years only one man out of each 5000 can recover his financial footing, while at the age of sixty, 35 per cent of men are dependent upon their daily earnings or on their children or some one else for support.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE A CONSERVING FORGE

Falling in line with the offer of war service made by the National Ameri. can Woman Suffrage Association to the President of the United States, various state suffrage associations have called their members into real and practical service.
 The first act of the president of the Nebraska State Suffrage Associa- tion, Mrs. w. E. Barkley, was to line up her members in suffrage thrift clubs Many Nebraska home-makers have been in the habit of ordering in the summer, the winters supply of vegetables and fruits from their local grocers. This year the state suffrage organization is awakening it's members to the fact that Nebraska women can raise and put up their own foodstuffs, and so free the pro- duce of the canning factories for ex- portation or for the army, wherever, in fact. it will be most needed.

In an effort to save the rapidly dis arrangements have been completed for the establishment of Utah's first bird sanctuary, to cover an area of 700 acres.

WAR HITS AMERICAN HOME BY
DRAFTING MAID OF ALL WORK

Washington, Sept. 12:--War Is

to draft the cook and maid of all
work The maid power of America
was none too ample when the war

like the labor market. from Europe,
and this supply is almost entirely cut

At the same time the munition

The maid famine is nationwide.
Miss Grace Abbott, OF the department
of labor, now organizing the enforce

Dor law in effect September 1, knows
more about its foundamentals than
any American woman.
For many years, as the agent of
the Immigrant, Protective Society of
Chicago, she came into daily contact
with the raw material from which
the. servant body of America was
fashioned. She holds out little hope
of relief i- s,
There has always been a shortage

There was only one class in the conl-

folly of monarchy and couldn't have

name and deeds became known
throughout the land. and to this day
the comic illustrated papers are us

might say, had a vote or voice in tho

him. The ony real law was the will
or the czar, and that was all for the
czarina, and the czarina was all for
Rasputln.
There was no way to counteract his
influence. He was the only person the
czarina trusted or would really listen
to.
Under these conditions there was
nothing for his opponents to do but
to kill him.
One night on his way home In win-
ter he was shot Mt, the bullet piercing
the back of the sleigh and missing him
by few inches. Not long after an as
sassin made his way Into Rasputin's
house and tried to stab him. Several
times, according to the story, thugs
lay In wait for him to beat him up.
He escaped all these and began to
have the reputation of a charmed
life. He must have taken little stock
In that himself. He now went about
Petrograd with a body guard of pick
ed men
His fears put no check upon his
drunken tongue. When he was pick

as he talked about q drab.

The influx of negro families into

First on the program for the SOL

After mess-which In the case Of

"I didn't know that dishwashing

Private James Mullen, or Cincinnati.

GRINS ON THE FACES OF THE
MEN AS THEY PERFORM UN-
PLEASANT TASKS.
That's the spirit I found among all
the selects. Army officers remarked
on 1t, too.
MOST OF THE MEN GRIN-grin

elbows In greasy dishwater; grin
