.SEARCY WHOLESALE
HOUSE DESTROYED
Ten Thousand Dollars Worth
Groceries, Auto Truck and
Four Mules Burn

Searcy, Jan. 16.-The large
warehouse owned by the Mer-
chants Grocery Company was
burned this morning at 5 o.
clock. The fire was not dis
covered until the building,
which is a block long, was
doomed. Indications point
very strongly to incendiarism.
The loss of merchandise is es-
timated at $4,000 to $4,000
with no insurance.
A large auto truck valued at
$500 was burned. Four
mules valued at $500 each
were lost. Two were burned
to death and the other two
so badly injured that they were
shot. The two injured animals
tore their way out of the cor
rugated iron building.
A heavy snow was falling
when the fire occurred and as
there was no wind probably
saved other business houses in
the same block including the
Peoples Bank and the Noel
wee Garage.
Three SHOWS and heavy
sleet that have fallen in the
past six days made the fire
hose almost useless. 1t was the
most disastrous fire that has
occurred here for several years
The explosion of a large guam
tity of ammunition and gaso-
line added to the damage and
excitement.

ANIMAL HABITS NOT CHANGED
Sheep Run to the Hills, Hogs Grunt az
Signal, Dogs Fashion
Their Own Bed.

Sheep, when frightened, always run
to an elevation, because their ances-
tors originally came from the noun
tains. They always follow a leader,
because In the dangerous mountain
passes their ancestors had to 60 In
single file. Hogs grunt because their
feeding grounds were thick woods,
where they could not see one another,
and sound was necessary to keep them
together.
Dogs have way Of turning around
several times before they lie down.
This looks very foolish now, but when
they were wild things centuries ago,
they slept In the tall grass and turned
around several times to hollow out a
bed, and they have never outgrown
this habit, but to this late day they
will turn around on a rug just as II
they were In the tall grass.
Cats have, perhaps, the most traces
of old ancestral habits. Many times
they do have trace Of the lion or
tiger very near the surface. Their I'M
certain temper, their purring and grow
ling, their sudden bounds, their ten
dency to scratch, all come from the
forest and the jungle.-IndianapolIs

MIX DOUGH WITH SEA WATER
Wider Adoption Of the Practice Is Rec
commended by French Naval Phar-
maelst, Health Advantages.

1t has long been a custom In certain
parts Of France to make up the dough
for bread with sea-water instead of
using, as is customary, fresh water,
with the addition Of salt required to
make bread both healthful and appe-
tzing, says the Literary Digest. M.
Albert Saint Sernin, French naval
pharmacist Of the first class, urges the
wider adoption of the practice, which
has, according to him, several advan-
tages; the bread keeps moist longer,
owing to the affinity for water pos
sessed by the magnesium chloride sea-
water contains; 1t Is very wholesome,
since 1t provides not only the chlorides
of sodium and magnesium, but other
mineral substances which the body can
make use of.
The water must be collected at a
suitable distance from land and should
be taken from depth Of six or seven
yards If possible. The yeast must be
prepared with fresh water and the salt
water used for mixing the dough. The
French writer adds:
Bread made with sea water, useful
for everybody, Is to be recommended
especially for growing children, for
convalescents, and for all those who
need to repair the wastes due to fever
or to hard labor"

our poverty or our parsimony, but not
belle our human intellect. 1t is not a
question of doing more, but Of doing
better. Do not let us boss our roofs

TELLS ABOUT JOHN RANDOLPH
Thomas n. Benton Relates Interview
With Eccentric Man, In Which He
Depicts His Melancholy Mood.

Thomas H. Benton in his Thirty
Years View" gives an interesting ac-
count Of an interview he had with the
eccentric John Randolph Of Roanoke.
I The interview was at Mr.. BentOn's
room In Crawford's hotel, In George
town. 1t was in the gloom of the eve
ming, before the lamps were lit. Mr..
Randolph, reclining on soft, silent
and thoughtful, repeated, as If to him
self, Johnson's lines on "Seniltty and
1mbecility," that show his life under
Its most melancholy form:
I'm LIES last scenes what prodigies
surprise,
Fears Of the brave and follies of the
wise.
Down Marlborough's eyes the streams
of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driveller and .
show"
When Mr.. Randolph finished repeat
Ing these lines, Mr.. Benton said to
him: mr.. Randolph, / have often
heard you repeat these as If they could
have an application to yourself, while
no one can have less reason than your
self to fear the fate of Swift"
To this Randolph replied: 81 have
lived In dread Of insanity"
While Randolph was not insane In
the ordinary sense Of the word, 1t is
certain that he had occasional tenn
porary alterations Of the mind, and IL
was during such times that his talk
was most brilliant, copious flow for
hours of wit and classic allusion,
perfect scattering Of the diamonds Of
the mind.
His will was contested on the ground
of insanity, but II was not set aside.

IN EXILE WITH HER FATHER
Daughter Of Millionaire Of kieff, Ae-
companies Parent to Save Him
From Dreaded Loneliness.

Children In the exile districts seem
grotesquely misplaced, yet there were
many. Sometimes the gendarmes' magic
would lift father from his too liberal
fireside in Russia and set him down
without the humiliation of a trial in
the glorious Narym solitude, writes
Fortier Jones in the Century. "Not
infrequently his family followed him
In order to share the new life, for, as
elsewhere, fathers are loved in Rus
STA. Particularly among educated men
the continual, unrelieved loneliness
tended to bring on insanity.
81 know one fine business man, a
millionaire Of Kieff, and a direct de-
scendant Of Rouget de Lisle, whose
little daughter came into exile with
him to save him from this dreaded
loneliness. She was fourteen years old,
and they lived in a dreary village by
the great old river, in log cabin with
pink chintz curtains and piano. She
was winning little thing, with happy,
brown eyes and long curls, and to
all appearances was no whit the worse
for her exile existence. The fascinat-
Ing life Of the forest was familiar to
her, the birds and flowers, and her IA
Their cared for her French and history.
What bright spot she was In that
wretched place, and what curious
life for little girl whose illustrious
forefather had composed the 'Marseil-
laise! Her mother, who Joined them
later when her health would permit,
and they had gained permission to
live in town on the railway, was a
sister Of Nine. Curie."

Public Health Notice

An epidemic Of chickenpox prevails
in Owosso, mostly in the Washington
school district. All children having it
must not attend school, but be kept
strictly at home and reported to the
health officer by phone, mail or in per-
son. Children who have had it may
attend school, but others in the same
house with a case cannot.
Whooping cough is also quite pre-

This disease must also be reported
the same as chickenpox, and children
