LOT evenings his girls would clean and
press them until they became such
expert cleaners that the other
attorneys would ask Mr.. Gates when
he would come into court of a morn
ing spick and span, "What kind of
cleaning outfit have you got at home,
here we pay big price to have our
clothes cleaned and pressed and you
come in here with yours looking bet
ter than any of u.s."
Well the first thing | did when |
got to the Stillman's was to borrow a
change of clothes and Mr.. Stillman
suggested that my clothes could be
dried easier if would let Mrs. Still
NAL press them. A fire was built in
the old fashioned rock chimney and
my clothes hung before it all night
and after breakfast next morning
Mrs. Stillman pressed them for me
and she did good job of it too.
Next day stopped at the Ferndale
postofice to mail a letter. 1t was
Tuesday and while / was there it
commenced to rain. It rained until
there was a solid stream of water
running down the road which used
the house for a bank on my side and
the fence on the other and it kept on
raining until dark. Mr.. Mcdonald
and son was in the field on the other
side of the Little Maumelle and it got
clear out of its banks. Before night
about dark it Stacked up enough for
me to get to Wooten Villa, where I
spent the night. The house was filled
up with saw mill men and they all got
wet before they got home. Next day
took dinner with Mrs. Geo. Prothro
and had a nice time when her inter-
esting family and visiting relatives
from Oklahoma. Then | rode to
Pinnacle with Mrs. Prothro and small
son and later railroad man picked
me up in his auto and brought me
into Little Rock by bed time. There
were rains ahead of me and behind
me on the trip, but l missed them all
though it made the road very muddy
for the auto.
Now it begins to look like that
losing that horseshoe sure brought
me some bad luck, but it might have
been worse, for instance that panther
might have eaten me up.
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1919-06-20

While darkness was coming on
thought of dream had before
starting out on my ramble. dreamed
that a Mexican cougar had caught
two prospectors and dragged them
into hole made for telephone pole
and ate them up. The tale came true,
but needed a little Interpretation.
The two prospectors were two girls
and the telephone signifed instead of
my seeing it I would hear of it at
safe distance.
Before repeating the tale l must
state that the Stillmans told me that
panther or some other varmint
travelled along the ridge in front of
their house the night before uttering
frequent screams similar to a
woman's. Mrs. Stillman said, "Did
you ever hear tarantular scream
when it first comes out of its hole in
the spring" That rather stunned me.
| understood plain enough that she
said tarantula, but asked her what
She repeated tarantuia and said they
sure do scream kind of a wavering,
trembling call and that was the way
the animals call started out. Well
when it began to look like, soaked
from nearly three hours rain / would
have to spend the night in the woods,
thought that if the cougar would
come along and eat me up it would
be real easy way for me to get out
of the cold wet rainy night into nice
real warm place. For I supposed
cougars stomach would be warm.
The next day when l found pretty
little terrapin [ though would find
out if it could talk too, so I picked it
up, put my mouth close it and
howled like a wolf In a trembling
scared tone he said, "Please Mr..
Wolfe don't eat me up and I will be
good" His voice sounded like a
comb when you put a paper over it
and try to play tune on it. Thus
you see | learn something new every
once in a while and some day I will
learn whether Peter Rabbit ever uses
his voice for any purpose except to
cry out in fright when you go to kill
him.

Little Rock was not included in the
districts originating in Little Rock. 1t
was charged that this was an arbi
trary discrimination against Little
Rock. The court said that the legis-
lature has the authority to say what
territory will be benefited by an inn
provement, unless that finding is
arbitrary or fased upon demon
strable mistake, and further that
they cannot say that Little Rock will
not receive benefit from the inn
provement of these roads, as it has
direct communication with them by
means of the free bridge. The other
objections against the validity of the
district were held not tenable, and
the district was declared valid.

A PRETTY WATERFALL.

Continuing up the branch / came to
a pretty semi-circular waterfall.
Then going on I approached the top
of a hill which was almost solid rock.
Before reaching the rock / found
the incest, sweetest buckle berries,
then right at the rocks edge were the
finest dewberries you ever saw. The
vines growing out of the soil, but run

wendell my way over the rocks down
a piece, then up high ridge. l

would stop to rest occasionally and as
I did so I could hear wild turkey
putting as it travelled along the top
of the ridge from my left to my
right. There are quite a few turkeys
in here as well as deer. The company
has the ranch posted and as there is
no hunting in it to amount to any
thing, the game is increasing and it
will not be long until it will be
abundant enough to stock the sur
rounding country and give outsiders a
chance to hunt it.
1t was warm, the virgin scenery
was good to look at and I took my
time even though it was laundering
and threatening to rain. At six
o'clock it began to rain and | got

Observation-Disclosures

From the crystal mine / went up
White branch. At the start there
was no sign of any cattle grazing
along it. Then I noticed that the
grass had been cropped little and
finally | came to place where three
head had bedded and farther on saw
them. After another long walk
ran onto the grazing ground of four
head, but there were but very few
cattle grazing on this part of the
ranch, which of course is the proper
policy, which if continued will result
in the ranch maintaining it's grass
permanently.

Bulletin No. 756 of the Department
of Agriculture in which are published
the results of several years investi-

trouble.
To control the disease in establish

that the soil be built up by using
large quantities of humus forming
materials. A study of old orchards

be upheld and made as much progress
with plans as possible, they probably,
will proceed even more rapidly now.
According to the terms of the act
creating the district the commission
ers must select three assessors to
assess the benefits of the property in
volved. An abstract of the property
must be made before the assessment
can be made. 1t probably will re-
quire three or four months to make
the abstract and the assessment.
Bonds cannot be sold until the
assessment is completed.
J. r. Alexander is chairman of the
district and C. P. Perrie is temporary
secretary. According to the terms of
the act creating the district the
terms of the five commissioners are
from three to five years. When the
terms of the commissioners expire
the county judge will appoint sue
cessors for periods of five years each.
The terms of ]. R. Alexander and B.
Bodemann are for five years; the
terms of C. S. Mccain and C. P.
Perrie are for four years and the
term of J. P. Faucette is for three
years.
The improved roads will follow
very closely the present roads, Mr..
Faucette said yesterday. The commits
sioners will advocate the elimination
of railroad crossings wherever pos
sible. Mr.. Faucette believes it will re-
quire from 10 months to two years
to improve the roads. If possible work
on all roads will be done simultane-
ously.
With the improvement of these five
roads and for four other roads pro-
vided for under separate districts
Pulaski county will have a network
of nine roads to the county line. The
Arch street pike originally was in
Guided in Road Improvement District
No. 10. But because those interested
in the road wished it to extend nine
miles beyond the county line to
Spring Lake in Saline county, this
road was placed in separate district.
Other important roads in separate
districts are the Hot Springs highway
and the Observation-Disclosures highway.
The roads included in District No.
10 are those commencing in North
Little Rock, known as the Baucum
road to Lonoke county, and the Fit.
Smith road, commencing at Twenty
third and Main streets, running
northwest to the county line. The
roads on the south side of the river
are as follows: Sweet Home pike,
commencing at Ninth and Main
streets, running east to Barber
avenue, and south on Barber to city
limits past Sweet Home and
Wrightsville to the county line; West
Twelfth street pike, commencing at
Twelfth and Gaines streets, west to
county line, and the Perry county
road, commencing at Markham and
Main streets, west to Victory street
and south to Third street, following
the car line past Forest park to
Crossroads near the county line.

THE STORY OF TWO GIRLS.

Last winter where the Stillmans
live Mr.. Nelson lived and the Still
mans lived with Mrs. Gates in the
other house. Mr.. Nelson being alb
sent from home one night requested
Mrs. Stillman and her older sister to
come over and take care of the
things for him. Mrs. Stillman rode a
small mule and Miss Gates rode big
horse. Mrs. Stillman jumped down
off her mule, but Miss Gates had to
go to the porch to get off her horse.
Mrs. Stillman saw an animal coming
down the road toward them which
she at first thought was a dog, but
it did not run like dog it advanced
by jumps dixie rabbit or a cat. 1t
had a big round head like bull dog
and round ears which stuck out from
its head. She threw rock at it, but
it just kept on jumping toward her.
Her sister said, 81 can hit it," and
threw a rock and hit it, but it just
kept jumping on. Then her sister
said, Lets go in the house." The
front door was locked so they had to
run around to the back door. They
got in and closed the door and as
they did so the animal stuck it's nose
in a hole cut in the corner of the door
for the cat to go in and out. They
fastened the door and ran into the
front room. By the time they got in
there the animal had run around onto
the front porch and tried to stick its
head il. at the window, but could not
because the window was screened and
was not up high enough for it, but it
vented its rage then by a series of
bowls at them through the window.
The hogs were feeding in the woods
in front of the house and when they
heard the bowls they all rushed into
the lot. There were chickens there
too and the horse and mule and their
collie dog. The animal ran amongst
the hogs, but did not offer to harm
them and being in the lot they seemed
to think they were safe. The dog
took his stand between the horses and
every time the animal would ap-
approach them he would bristle up
and growl his fercest which would
turn it away. 1t returned to the
house then started off. The girls said,
eNow is our chance to leave" but as
soon as they left the house the
animal started back for them. Finally
it left for good and they got on their
steeds and started for home. Miss
Gates started with the heavy iron
poker to defend herself with, but as
Mrs. Stillman was riding off on her
little mule before she could get on
her big horse she got frightened
and dropped it. So they got home
safe and sound, but their folks
would only laugh at them and say
they got frightened at dog, but
from their description of it suppose
it was a wild cat or catamount.
Of course I hated getting wet and
hated to have my clothes all spoiled
and bedraggled as I came back into
Little Rock, but it was only the
Wandering Fairy's scheme to get my
clothes done up in better shape than
ever. Mr.. Gates goes into Little Rock
in an auto and in muddy weather he
would frequently get his clothes
spoiled as has been my own ex-
perience, so when he would get home
