Over the Skyline Of the Ozarks

WHICH we USED III plannlnR our "Trip.
That structure on human intelligence
located Hot Springs just slightly
south of a direct line from Ft. Smith
to Little rock, with broad highway
connecting the three cities. But ac-
tual experience taught us that the on
iy way to reach Hot Springs out of
Ft. Smith is by Little Rock. This err
ror in scheduling the trip made it
necessary, in order to visit Hot
Springs, to make the round trip of
sixty miles one way in single day,
leaving only few hours in that cele-
brated resort. We therefore conclud-
ed to forego that trip and used the
day thus gained in a run over to
Memphis. Business in Arkansas cap
ital appeared to be somewhat draggy,
largely owing, so we were informed,
to strike conditions, and there ap-
peared to be feeling of general un-
rest there, which is doubtless the rea-
son for the over-capitalization in the
Ku Klux Klan organization, whose
membership in that city is over 5000,
so we are told.
From Little Rock to Memphis we
would have had very good road, had
it not been for a hard rain just pre-
ceding us and which proved disas-
trous to all on dirt roads. Dark over
took us few miles south of Brink
ley, in heavy bottom, through which
had but recently been completed a
