APPRECIATED.

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. U, lJlo. Mir. W. F. Beck, Little Rock, Ark:
 My Dear Mir. Beck-We have been getting the Pulaskian since Christ mas, and I want to tell you how much we enjoy it. We especially enjoy your articles concerning your rambles in Pulaski county.
 My mother, formerly Martha Thompson, lived in Pulaski county until she was grown. She then mar ried Jesse B. Hill and moved north to Missouri.
 Ever since I have been large enough to understand things, mother has talk ed of the places and people tat home" until I feel as if I were personally ac- quainted with them. And when l see the names of those people appearing in the items from the different local ities I, too, feel as if had gotten glimpse of home.
 When the Pulaskian comes, usually on Saturday afternoon, mother imme- diately drops everything and reads. OOlue ol tue HdAhcS HI eho pS'PSA 'hS does not recognize, but others she knows or has heard of. It is a. great pleasure to us all, I assure you, to hear about those people of whom we have heard so much.
 Thanking you for giving your atten- tion to this rambling letter, I am,
 Very truly,
 (Miss) Edith Hill.

I should have had an interesting story for the Pulaskian, but l would not borrow a gun, so I was afraid to go after it. Before the snow melted I dreamed for an hour or two about wolves. It appeared that fanatic had anointed couple with some kind of an essence that attracted the wolves to them, yet at the same time it prevented the wolves from attack ing. They appeared to be going into a garden and house with the wolves in close pursuit. I dreamed this dream over and over again, and at last I dreamed, Remember the wolvesi" Then I awoke. I had plan ned making trip through country badly infested by wolves that day, so I changed my mind and went the oth- CT way. I had not gone far until l saw the tracks of panther, l sup pose, crossing the road. l was in wagon with Mrs. Bud Daniels and son, Ted. Both Ted and got out and ex- amined the tracks, and each thought they were made by a panther. A man near by claimed that one night before that a panther's tracks were to be seen around his house. An item in the Gazette stated that panther had been killed not far away, in Perry county.
 In all my inquiries I have never once heard of person being killed in this section by wolves. MT. B. w. Higginbottom informs me that his father built the first bridge across the Big Maumelle where the covered bridge now is, and that one night a panther got after him. He got him 8 club and kept it at Q distance from Red Bluff to his home, where MT. Higginbottom (who was then about eight years old), now lives. When he got home he went in the house and told the family if they wanted to hear a panther to come out in the yard, which they did, and heard it's screams of rage several times.
 MT. Higgins has lived on this place most of the time since he was eight years old, and has one of the best farms in the county. He presented me with one of the most beautiful crys- tals I ever saw. It is about five inches high, three and one-half inches long, by two inches thick. It is in the form of church building with a square tower at one corner. I shall exhibit it in Little Rock.
 Oliver Higginbotham presented me with a small Indian pelt knife and an Indian arrow head.
 Walter Brooks contributed small Indian vessel. It would only hold about one ounce, and may have been used to mix medicine or paint in. It was a natural formation in the shape of slipper, and had required but little work to finish.
 Walter Tolley contributed to my museum the skin of deer he killed

during the first big snow.
 With all the rocks and curios in my satchel, I had about all l could carry, and it was no wonder that when I started across the Big Maumelle on a footlog other people had been using it broke with me and I dropped into the river but I had luck piece with me, a crystal I found with the fairy battleship, so did not get drowned.

OFF FOR THE FRONT.

The Fairies crystal Dattleship has started to the front, as witness the following from last Wednesdays Ga zette:
 "Here's Smallest BattIeship.
 "W. F. Beck of the Pulaskian yes terday gave Governor Brough small crystal rock shaped like battleship, with the request that the crystal be presented to the battleship Arkansas. Governor Brough sent the rock to Miss Daisy Delony with the request that she forward it it to the battleship. The rock was found on Big Maumelle, near the Waldernes store"
 I showed it to the governor last week and asked his advice about get ting it to the front. I got it started just in time, for while I was talking to the governor the wires were hot with the news of the sinking of the Tuscania, with it's 2,179 soldiers aboard, but the Fairies got busy at once, with the result that only 101 lives were lost I should have sent it to the front at once, but I think I have done very well, for what other man ever presented bis country with a battleship of any kind? This is the greatest ship in all the navies of the world, and is the only fairy bat tleship on the earth.
