THE aANkHEAD HIGHWAY.

There is little douht but 1T we put forth the proper effort we win be on the great Bankhead Highway when that is built That highway is the one that makes for connection into this state al Memphis, comes west through Little Rock and Hot Springs, and portant to this citA and ths city is Texarkana. and on out to the Golden West such highway is very i'm also yery important to this city, and thie city is also very important to such q highway
 Yesterday at the Rotary dinner rhe secretary of this highway association outlined the plans. and they are big. The plans aill no doubt suffer the hindrance that comes with war, as all ether big internal improvements will suffer, but we will do well to show our interest tn this work at all times, to keep the subject within the minds of our people, and tu be thereby able to help with our part when that time comes to begin construction
 Highways will develop fast when peace has came The country has come to know the value of highways as was never known before And we must encourage every big project that comes within our territory to make a connection at least for Hot Springs. where the traveller will sojourn for a stay

CARING FOR OUR FUEL.

From the information We have at hand. Fiu Springs is going to be kept well supplied with fuel Fears along thesn lines arc groundless. The gov- ernnent has control of the railroads, and the government has charge Of all the fuel and the goYernment owns and controls this resort, and the gov ernment is not going to permit the people who come here to suffer for want of fuel We are sure of coal.
 The state fuel administrator has waked wonders lie has supplied coal by arbitrary order when it was needed. and he has kept the people Of Arkansas generally from suffering He realizes that particularly in Hot Springs. where there are so many sick people, the fuel situation must be looked afer. and eve do not think there is a possibility Of his permitting Hot Springs to get short
 We do not know that under the eX- treme weather that has obtained re- oently the surplus supply was eS- hausted here. as 1t was almost every where. but there has been sufficient coal for the needs, and with few days as mil1er weather the surplus will again De created and Hot Springs will be able to get all the coal she wants
 There is no fear in the situation. We haze limited but sufficient sup ply of coal We have a limited supply of natural gas, and we have a bound less supply of good old oak and nick ory wood right at our doors. and we VIII not suffer on the fuel question within the ne4t generation or SO.

Among fishes. species that exhibit

the number is only about 10000.
Coming down through human history

Among savage or semicivilized peoples

Haveloek Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations in Europe which were

countries Of highest birthrate, and
hence of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: "Those who would seek

Then. one day. Don Esteban Varona
remarked, and the Donna Isabel. who
had been famous Habana beauty,
came to live at the quinta. The daugh-

that he had made a serious mistake.

vain and selfish. Not only did She
crave luxury and display, but with sin

Now Don Esteban was no longer
young; age had soured him with sus-
picion and when once he saw himself

he turned bitterly against his wife.
Her curiosity he sullenly resented, and
he unblushingly denied his possession
of any considerable wealth. In fact,
he tried with malicious ingenuity to

deceived. Finding her arts and CO.

Without waiting to hear her threat
Esteban tossed his arms above his
mead and fled from the room. Ringing
himself into the saddle, he spurred
down the hill and through the town to
the Casino de Espanol, where he spent
the night at cards with the Spanish Of

to Esteban's breathing, in the hope of
surprising his secret from his dreams
At length a time came when they lived
In frank enmity; when Isabel never
spoke to ESteban except in reproach or
anger, and when Esteban unlocked his
lips only to taunt his wife with the
fact that she had been thwarted de
spite her cunning.
1t was only natural under such con-
dtions that Donna Isabel should learn
to dislike her pchildren-Esteban
had told her frankly that they would

widened her hatred so as to include old

confidence 1t was in vain, however,
that she BATTERED and cajoled, or
