LINES DRAWN IN
 ARKANSAS SENATE
CALDWELL BILL TO HAVE STATE PURCHASE KIRBY AND CAS-
 TILE DIGEST DISCUSSED.
OBJECTIONS ARE RAISED
After Considering Question in Commit mittee of Whole the Matter Was Passed Up For Another Day.
 Appointment Confirmed
Little Rock.

Little Rock Dividing lines again disappeared in the Senate, the fight over the con firmation of z. M. McCarroll, Hays appointee as a member of the board of control, having been settled at noon, and there was nothing left to divide them.
 The McCarroll appointment was confirmed by vote of 23 to IL
 The afternoon session started out peaceable enough, but wound up a rather storm affair, with new lines so drawn that no one could foretell the final result on the Caldwell bill to have the state purchase the Kirby and Cas- tie digest of the statutes of Arkansas.
 After number of local bills had been passed upon, Senator Caldwell asked permission to call up the di- gest bill There was objection, but it was withdrawn, and the Senate went into a committee of the whole to consider the bill, that being neces- sary, as it carries an appropriation
 The first section, calling for the adoption of the digest, and the second, stating that the price shall be $4 per volume, were adopted, the first with out opposition, the second after a spirited debate. The opponents even then withdrew with the assertion that they would reserve their fire for the bill when it was up on it's merits, Senator Ruff setting forth on what grounds he would attack the bill.
 Senator Carruth was the first to oppose the second section. He declar ed that before the bill should be act ed upon fayorably the matter should be left to a committee of three emi- nent jurists to see if the book was all that could be desired. He stated that he would vote for the bill if this was ascertained and the report sat1s- factory, though he declared the state was in no way obligated to accept the digest it not having appointed digest ors, it being a private venture.
 Senators Caldwell, Bush, Alexand- CT, Greenhouse and Garrett spoke in favor of the bill, laying great stress upon the need of the state for di- gest.

Charles o. Davidson held a policy for S1,00O in the Ancient Order of United Workmen, payable to his wife, Lille o. Davidson. The policy pro vided that if the insured became inter- ested in or engaged in the sale of liquors, that the act vitiated his con tract. Davidson was railway engi- neer. but received an inury that in- capaeitated him from that service. He engaged in the liquor business in Memphis, and later in Little Rock, and then in East St. Louis, where he was killed in his saloon by footpad. Dur ing this time he paid his dues with the knowledge of two supreme officers of the lodge at Little Rock that he was in the saloon business, and when the claim was made by the widow for payment of the certificate it was re- fused. The Supreme Court ruled that the lodge having accepted his dues with the knowledge by two of it's su- preme officers that Davidson was en- gagged in the saloon business, it must be deemed to have waived the forfeit ure. as it would be manifestly unfair to receive his premiums with no in- tention of complying with the con tract. The judgment was affirmed.

Blind,' probably because the players wore headdresses resembling hoods, and the blind man turned over his face, while the others used their hoods to strike him. Some called it Harry Racket" and "Hoodwink.'
 England has other blindfold games, among them is "Colin Maillard." Jean Colin was brave warrior who lived in the tenth century. He fought in bat tie after both of his eyes were put out, and so the game gets it's name from him. He was surnamed "Maillard, which means ''mallet-wielder," because that was the weapon he used.
 The Germans cali their blindfold game "Blind Cow and Mouse in the Dark Italians call it "Blind Fly" while Norwegians give 1t the name of "Blind Thief and "The Poles"
 We add the Buff because of the light blows usually given to the blind man by the other players.
