"Frenchy" is fisherman who lives a sort of hermit life in a shack. on the river few miles north of Pine Bluff: He has about only one fear, and that is. that some day or night while out there alone he is going to leash Ego West"-give up the ghost"-and will not be given the burial most humans receive. Conse- ouently, "Frenchie" has appealed to County Judge R. H. Williams for an order for a coffin. that he at least may possess the "wooden overcoat' when he takes the journey so many dread.
 While the county provides for those who die paupers. there is nothing in the law authorizing the purchase of a coffin for a person who is very much alive, and Judge Williams has been compelled to postpone. temporarily anyway, compliance with the request of "French." It is surmised that in the event "Frenchy" gets the coffin. hell make certain that his body will rest in it by making it his place of disso, lution,

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 8.-Dis-
cussing for the first time during
his speaking tour proposed res
ervations to the league Of ma
tions, President Wilson replied
in an address here today to argu-
ments advanced by those who
favor reservations.
The proposed reservations pro-
viding for unconditional with
drawal from membership meant
that their sponsors wanted to
"sit near the door with their
hand on the knob" and if they
see anything they didn't like to
"set scuttle and run"
Those who wanted reserva-
tions to article 10, Mr.. Wilson
continued, simply did not want
to come in now but wanted to be
late joiners. ,4. .....
4 The Monroe Doctrine
Any reservations regarding
the Monroe doctrine, he added,
were unnecessary because the
doctrine has been swallowed
hook, line and sinker" by the
peace conference and had been
authenticated by the big powers
of the world for the first time.
There was no trick about it, he
asserted, for the document was
the work of honest men.
The only way the Shantung
provision could be bettered, Mr..
Wilson declared, would be to go
to war with Japan, England and
France.
He told the crowd the nation
could not "sign all but a part of
a treaty."
Take It Or Leave 1t.
We cannot rewrite this treaty, he
said, 1--WE must take it or leave it."
He said he believed the treaty should
be accepted soon but added

GOOD SHIP ESSEX TO
GO TO HIGH BIDDER

Toledo, O., Sept. s.-One Of the
relicts of old-time fighting days, which
is to be sold by the government to the
highest bidder is the historic training
ship Essex formerly of the Ohio divi-
sion of the Ohio Naval Militia.
The Essex was built in 1876 and at
one time was commanded by Admiral
Schle. Capt A. f. Nicklett of Toledo
was the last officer in command.
The ship sailed across the Atlantic
went down the east coast of South
America and figured in numerous thrill
ling accidents before she was assigned
to Toledo. When the United States en-
tered the world war the Essex was sem
ito Chicago for use at the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station.
