 Sharing in the general consterna- ton at the attack. the jail guards had l disappeared, leaving Lopez men free to break into the prison. When OReil- ly joined them the work was well un- der way.

 Colonel Lopez galloped up to inquire, anxiously, Did you find those eatables, eh?"
 "Yes. sir. and q lot more"
 Good But I failed. Pickles? ! one !"

This feroeity however, served only to terrify further the civil population and to close the shutters of San Antonio the tighter Meanwhile, the loyal troops remained safely in their bloekheuses, pouring a steady fire into the town.

 The raiders had approached San An tonic de los Banos across the fields at the rear. but Colonel Lopez led their retreat by way of the camino real which followed the river bank This road for short distance was exposed to the fire from one port; then it was sheltered by bit of rising ground. OReilly, among the last to cross the zone of fire, was just eongratulating himself upon the fortunate outcome of the skirmish when he saw Colonel Lo- peg ride to the crest of q knoll, rise in his stirrups and, lifting his cupped hands to his lips. direct a loud shout back toward the town.

Don't Ask Personal QuestIons,

Never presume upon your intimacy with another to ask personal ques- tions. No matter how good friends two may be, both have certain matters which they prefer to keep to them selves. The presumption which. under the excuse of intimacy, pushes Its way into the privacies of the spirit is un- worthy of you. Respect your friends reserves, and insist that they shall re- spect yours.

Spread Gospel of Hone.

Men differ widely in their native ca pacity for hope. De Quincey said of Goldsmith: "He had constitutional gayety of heart, an elastic hilarity. and, as he expressed It. a knack of hoping" Other men are like Burne- Jones. who sadly confessed: "I am born without much of the quality of hopefulness. The Goldsmiths must help the Burne-Joneses along.-New York Herald.

"Oiseased Meat.n

There is wide difference in the terms "diseased mea" and meat from diseased animals" In fresh pork for instance, the absence of live triehinae cannot be guaranteed by the vendor from any known practical method of inspection, but if the meat is properly cooked any triehinae present are killed and hence cannot produce disease.

BAPTIST HOSPITAL
 FOR HOT SPRINGS
EFFORT MADE TO LOCATE NEW INSTITUTION IN WORLDS
 GREAT HEALTH RESORT
Prospect For Early Cancellation Of Debt on Local Church Is Also Very Bright, Pastor Says.

The official board of the Arkansas State Baptist Convention. which has been holding two days session in Little Rock, has been urged by Rev Ir $. W. kendrick, lAstor of the First Baptist church, this city, to locate in Hot Springs the S100,00O hospital that has been authorized. Little Rock is also after this institution Hot Springs said Rev Dr. kendrick who returned last night from the meeting, has many warm advocates who desire the hospital loUted in the world s greatest health resort. The loca- ton is still pending. and will be an nounced later
 The meeting in Little Rock was one of the most important the board has held in years Aside from the hos Fpital proposition there was another feature that will be of interest gen erallv to local residents and RaItic- ularly those affiliated with Rev Dr kendicks S church. All arrangements for the $10,000 gift to his church when it's members and friends have raised S7.000, have been completed and are now on file in Atlanta The Hot Springs church has a debt of $1GO00 Since coming to Hot Springs Rev Dr. Keudrick has worked night and day to raise $70GO, knowing thai when that amount had been obtained the o,hcr Sl0,00O gilt would be forth coming There still remains some oi the $I000 10 be collected, but the amount is not sufficient to endanger tho larger gift. In fact, the prospect of an early cancellation of the church debt is very bright, and Rev. Dr Ken. drick returned home last night much pleased The future in this respect appears t3 be roseate for the church its pastor and members.
 Rev Dr. Kendricz stated that one of the important questions that came up at the board meeting vas ttat Of consolidating the CuaChita college at Philadelphia and the Central college at Conway, both Baptist institutions, into one college and locating 1t in Little Rock That plan. it is expected will meet with opposition from both Philadelphia and Conway, which is tc be expected. but it is believed by some that greater results would 0e ob- taiued by the consolidation and locl- tion in a more central TOint Friends of Hot Springs suggest as a com promise with Little Rock that in the event the consolidation taxes place and the colleges are moved from Ar kadelphia and Conway respectively that Little Rock and other towns throw their support to Hot Springs tC bring the S100GO0 hospital the Bap- lists will build to this city.

HAVE YOU ANSWERED
 THE RED CROSS CALL?
IT WILL ONLY COST YOU A DOL LAR AND THERE WILL BE No
 DRIVE FOR FUNDS.

Have you answered the Christmas Roll Call of the Red Cross? The weather and local conditions have been against thorough canvass being made especially of the residence dIs- tricts and you may have been over looked or perhaps you were not at home If you and your entire family have not vet enrolled attend to i. today. Call at the headquarters in the Southern Club building. opposite the Arlington Hotel today and join Jhis great army Of mercy
 The work of the Red Cross is for all time and is far reaching. It is active among those who are carryin3 on warfare, ministering to the Wound- ed and looking after the well It is equally as active in the home fields among the families of those who have gone to the defense of their land For some time to come the activities of the Red Cross will be taxed 10 the utmost along these lines in ad- dition 10 reconstruction work in the devastated areas of France and Bel eium the needy places of Europe where people will be in need of all things.
 But the Rcd Cross is also the area. agency in times of peace through which the benefIctions of the entire citizenship of the country are man ifcsted. In every emergency it has it's trained foaces who are gener- ally the first on the ground. In times of community distress arising by sick ness or other causes the Red Cross with is trained workers is found eff ficiently at work Hot Springs has seen the local activities of the Red Cross in such times as these.
 The memberships are only one dol lar for the annual and two dollars for the Magazine which brings a month ly publication that compares most favorably with any other. That one dollar enrolls you as member of this great organization.
 |, Because of the funds remaining in its hand and from the great sum eX- pected from the millions of members who enroll at his time the ted Ofoa9 will not make a big drive for funds this spring. T. considers that it will have sufficient to carry on it's work In addition, it is financing the Anti Tuberculosis movement this year and no seals will be sold as in years past
