The lndiansS Sign Language.

A white man who. visits a foreign nation finds it hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of uni versa] language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal Ian guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every In- dian learns it in addition iA his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held a conversation
 that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew word of the oth- er's language. This universal lan- guage is, of course, made up of signs.

PINE BLUFF NEEDS NHRN.
 HOTSES.

1 Pine Bluffs population is sroWinS
 so rapidly that difficulty la found in
 housing. Hardly day passes but a newcomer is heard to complain that he is unable to find suitable dwell ling. The demand seems to be for
 iivc-room houses, equipped with mod
 crn conveniences.
 Judging from the complaints of new residents, and from remarks made by real estate and rental agents Pine Bluff offers capitalists opportunity to safety invest with good profit. Small, comfortable,
 modern houses can be rented at rates that will yield fair return.
 While prices of lumber and ether
 building material arc higher today
 than four years ago, there is nothing to indicate that they will he lower in price fcur years hence than now.
 Pe@cc is going. to. increase rather
 than diminish the demand. The masl
 who contemplates building will gain
 nothing by delay, unless he intends to build for the next generation. It is certain that something will have to be done to provide homes for the people who are coming to Pine Bluff. It is almost Impossible to so- cure dwellings, and very difficult to obtain rooms. We cant expect to
 add to the population unless !acnl- ties for making the newcomers com fortable are provided. And tna.
 means more houses.

Why Wor7en Talk,

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the nilkman. the gro. cery man, the iceman. the old clothes man, few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door, there is nobody to talk to. That is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night Husbands, who through long years Of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hmh-hrl.l" with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will catch them unawaras and between re- marks will insert a request for S1o to buy new dress with. Jf the husband from force of habit answers 'hmh- amh," the wife of course, gets the gown.-Cartoons Magazine.

UNCLE SAM REDEEES.
 K. K. COSTS.

Some idea of the econO:ries hclno effected in the operation Of the ra l. roads of the country under govern ment control in gained from an an- nouncement in the Official Bulletin of March : that passenger train SGT vice between Chicago and St. Louis has been rearranged. By the new schedules. the government not only cuts the cost of opcartioa but saw cs coal, and releases much equip ment for use where the need is great CT
 The changes were made al the rec ommendation of R. II. Aisaton regional director of railroads. They affect four lines, and. six trains are eliminated, the travelling rNhlic have a choice of practically the same hours of departure and arrivals as Heretofore, and the new schedules are declared sufficient to properly handle the traffic.
 The Bulletin says that tickets shall be made Interchangeable which will afford tne travelling public in creased train facilitles,' and that "the reduction will leave a service which is entirely adequate. will effect total saving of 15,706 miles per month" and saving in operatin. cost of S7G.310 per month.
 Under private control this would have been impossible. because none Of the competing lines would have considered that it could eliminate any of it's funny trains without suf- terlns loss of prestige anC patron age. Consequently. the four roads continued to spend S76,310 per month than has been necessary.
 Uncle Sam will do as railroad manager, it seems certain.

f1umorine People Isn't Pleasant

"Humoring a man" sounds like s pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money. it does not seem very fiatter.ng +o the humorer or the humoree, says writer in the Woman's Home Companion And what lamentable sight is that of the humorce. what deep inequality 1t implies and what an absence of any real respect O. understanding between two people in whose lives humoring is part of the daily routine!

Army Eaqles Of Napoleon.

Before Napoleon's time 1t had been the custom for armies to carry huge, unwieldy flags mounted on poles which, while they afforded rallying point for their corps, also drew the en. emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an' cient symbol of tine Caesars. The Ma poleonic eagle itself was 8 inches in height and g inches across the wings It stood on a brass block 3 inches square and weighed three and half pounds. Modern colors, cumbersome as they are, are as nothing compared to the old ones, which were as diff. cult to hids as the big drum.

When Bathc Became Fashionable.

Baths first came into fashion in the sos, according to some recollections in the "Cornhill'' of George Pollock, who died last year at the age of ninety-four. They caused much annoyance to an old colonel because they incumbered off cers luggage. '"rhese young men," he complained, "keep washing themselves till there is not a bit of natural smell about them." The only unpardonable smell was, of course, tobacco. Even onions were preferable. --- London Globe.

Selective Service Machinery Il To Be
Used In Emergency on French Front
Adjutant-G General Sullivan has sent
to all local boards and the press of
Nevada a copy of a letter from the
Provost Marshal General in which he
says:
There is an immediate demand
for skilled men in various units of
the army. needed by General Perish
ing. The selective service machinery
must produce these skilled men. De-
lay in the several States in complet-
ing the occupational cards precludes
a resort to the cards to secure these
men and makes it necessary to i'm
provise a temporary plan for the
purpose. About 1900 men will be
needed in the near future. which we
hope to get by voluntary induction.
"The military duty and training of
these skilled men will be interesting.
and the men who succeed in securing
induction into the branches of the
service to be filled will receive ma
terial personal benefit. which will aid
them in advancement both in their
army career and aftes life.
1T is suggested that you make use
of bulletin boards throughout your
State, on which should be placed
copies of the enclosed list. This
would doubtless result in a large
number of applicants presenting
themselves to local boards.
''Inductions must not be made at
this time, however When regis
trants present themselves to their To-
cal boards, they should be listed (not
inducted), and on April 20 local
boards should notify your office of
the number of men VINO have volun-
teered for each of the different occu-
pations. This information should be
compiled in your Office. and a wire
sent to this office on April 80 giving
the total number of volunteers who
have presented themselves. :"
An occupational list of the men de-
sired has been posted at the Court
house bulletin board.
