improved Gunnery in the Navy.
Analysis of tile gunnery exercises Of
the American navy during the past
year shows that the greatest progress
toward efficiency was made by vessels
Of the battleship class. due to the
large number of men aboard such
ships and the comparative stability Of
the personnel. The Navy. department
considers that battleship gunnery is
at present about equal to that Of
foreign battleships. It is be-
lieved that next year vessels Of

FINED FOR ASSAULT
Texarkana Man Convicted of Forcing
 Another to Pay Alleged Debt.

l Texarkana, March 22.-W. J. Hoad- ley, aged 55, was fined $50 and costs in the Arkansas side Municipal Court this morning on a charge of assault upon w. w. Shuptrine, resident of the Texas side of town. The original warrant against the defendant charg- ed false Imprisonment upon which he was arrested at Shreveport and brought back here Sunday.
 According to the evidence at the hearing, Hoadley claimed Shuptrine owed him $16.60 for work on Shup- trine's plantation east of town. Shup- Urine denied the indebtedness, and a day or two later wa held up on the public road while going to his planta- tion by Hoadley, who, with his hand on his hip pocket, threatened war" unless the $16.60 was paid him then and there. It was also testified that he took the key from Shuptrine's auto mobile and kept it until the latter wrote cneck TOT the amount ana handed it to him. Hoadley, who is an enthusiastic Socialist, conducted his own defense and made lengthy speech, directing most of it, however, to the spectators rather than the Court. After being fined he insisted that the court issue papers against Shuptrine for islander, but he was told that was work for lawyer in the civil courts.
 When requested by the sheriff tc pay the fine and costs, aggregating $74.9O, he said he was a bit embar- rassed financially and could not pay In default, he was given room in the county jail.

DESIRED TO TAKE THE VEIL
Oldest Daughter of Thomas Jefferson Attracted by Quiet Life Within
 Convent Walls.

7 Martha Jefferson, oldest daughter of Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States, came near to be- ing catholic sister. She was a stu dent at the school of Abbaye de Pan- themont at the time the French Revo- luton was in progress. The daring and fiippant infidelity of the French frightened and disgusted her, and she clung to the calm and serene life of the convent with all her strength. Her mother had taught her in the ways of the Church of England, but the sur roundings at the school overreached this, and she decided to become a nun.
 She wrote to her father asking his permission to adopt the veil. No answer came for several days, and then Jefferson appeared in person. He greeted the girl with tender smile, interviewed the abbess, and then came out and told the girl to pack her things. Her school life was ended at that moment, and the next day she was introduced to so- ciety and made the mistress of her fathers household. She declared years afterward that neither she nor her father had ever alluded to the sub ject by single word from that day on.

The highest temperatures occurred about the mid de of the week, the lowest, which were above normal, occurred the morning of the 22nd. The precipitation was light in the southern portion, moderate ill the central and norsnern portions, but the soil is still too wet to work iii many localities, due to the heavy rain fall the previous week, The amount of sunshine was slightly below normal.
 A slight amount of cotton has been planted in favored localities, but all report preparations for cotton pro- gressing slowly, and one correspon- dent reports that farmers are turning in teams and quitting because not fur nished.' Corn planting IS progressing but the moderate rains on soil already too wet is delayed this week ill many localities, especially in eastern and central portions of the state. Much ground is nearly ready to plant as soon as dry enough. The week has been unusually favorable for growing crops Wheat, oats, meadow, pastures, truck, fruit and berries made excellent pro- gress and are in excellent condition in nearly all portions of the State. Some damage was done by hail in a few localities, bat the area covered was small. Truck was never better and home grown berries are expected in the market this week.

MATER CURES OLD BELIEF
" Both Ancient and Modern Days Fountains Have Been Considered
 Pools of Healing.

When you drink mineral water do you do it because you believe in it's curative properties or because you are superstitious? Or both?
 Extraordinary virtue has been at tributed to the waters of pools and streams by nearly all peoples of all times. Among the modern Greeks to- day we find the remnants of the old belief that the water from the Grotto of Macedonia would cure all those who drank if sthey entered the cave with lamp or torch in one hand and a pitcher in the other. filled the pitch CT and left some scrap of clothing be- hind, going silently and not turning back from being scared by the noises that ensued." And not only in Greece, but in England, there are many spots where the bushes around certain pool will be hung thick with shreds of clothing left by those who came to be cured
 According to modern Greeks the mineral springs are under the protec- ton of the Nereids, and the virtue of the water depends upon it being drunk in silence and with appropriate sacri- flee. Old Church of England canons dating back to HOP forbid the wor- ship of wells without the bishops per- mission, attributing the custom to heathenishness and survival of the worship of the fountain as a symbol of the source of life, It was pointed out then that the naming of wells was as old as the days of the Patriarchs trat Abraham and Isaac are both spoken of in the Bible as having done so, but that worshipping them was different matter.

DONAGHEY ON BOARD O. CONTROL
Governor McRae Appoints DOnaghey
 For Six Year Term.

Little Rock, March 23, - Governor McRae today gave partial inkling to his future attitude toward the board of control of charitable institutions, when he appointed former Governor George w. Donaghey to succeed z. M. McCarroll, resigned as member. The appointement is for six years. It was announced at the governors office that Mir. Donaghey accepted the appoint ment knowing that after the fiscal appropriation runs out in June, there will be no appropriation Tor the board members.

The Guard house, where Shakespeare was born; Shottery, where he courted Anne Hathaway !; Charlotte park, once the seat of Sir Thomas Lucy, whose displeasure Shakespeare incurred by stealing his deer; the Shakespeare Memo rial theater, on the banks of the Avon, and Shakespeare's monument, are all places worthy of visiting in the old market town of Stratford-on-Avon.

A Flying Chariot.

All Paris, l think, myself among the rest, assembled to see the valiant brothers, Robert and Charles, mount into the air yesterday, in com pang with certain Pilatre de Roster, who conducted them in the newly-in- vented flying chariot fastened to an air-balloon. It was from the middle of the Tuilleries that they set out, a place very favorable and well-con- trived for such public purposes. But all was so nicely managed, so cleverly carried on, somehow, that the order and decOrum of us who remained on firm ground struck me more than even the very strange sight of human crea- lures floating in the wind but l have really been witness to ten times as much hustle and confusion at a crowded theater in London, than what these peaceful Parisians make when the whole city was gathered together.

Clearing House Wants Ex=
 tension of Taxes Ignored

Little Rock, March 24.-(SpeciaD- Governor McRae's recent action in is suing a proclamation deferring the time limit for paying taxes, without the accruing of penalties, is causing much complaints since provisions of the proclamation and it's results are becoming understood.
 The Little Rock Clearing House this afternoon adopted resolution urging that the provisions of the proclamation be ignored and that taxes be paid an time. If they are not it was pointed out there will be serious disarrange- ment of financing of city and county government as pointed out that while the proclamation will relieve the de- linquency penalties, properties on which taxes are deferred will go delin- quent, nevertheless anc the owners when they go to pay the;r taxes will have to pay the costs, and also the advertising or the property will be advertised as delinquent just the same.

lndia,s Fertility,

India, more than half the size of Europe, has every variety of surface, climate and production. The contrast between the level monotony of the Great plain and the beautiful con tours of the Milgiri and Pulney hills is no greater than that between the arid heat of Jacobahad and the polar frigidity of the Himalayas or that between the palm groves of Cochin and the wheat fields of Lyallpur. The pro- ductivity of India extends over three zones the tropical, sub-tropical and temperate; though on account of vary ing elevations these do not always comply with mere considerations o1 latitude.

How to Know Poetry.

We literates have been taught to read poetry, and taught also that 1t Is highly commendable to enjoy 1t. In order to know what kind of poetry ought to be especially enjoyed. we read other books. written by critics. In or der to understand what the poetry that ought to be admired means, we read other books by professional grammarians. By the time we have / finished this preparatory reading, we are somewhat confused. We are in doubt as to what poetry actually is, and how 1t differs from prose- In this predicament we fall back on the print CT. If every line begins with a cap ital letter, we assume that it is DO etry.-Samuel McChord Brothers in the Atlantic Monthly.
