American Correspondent First
To Get News of Pope's Death.
United Press Dispatch.
New York, August 20—Henry
Wood, American staff corres
pondent at Rome put to the
credit of American newspaper
methods one of the greatest
feats in the history of journal
ism, getting the news of the
death of Pope Pius X. out of It
aly more than eight hours before
any other correspondent. Wood
is the only American newspaper
man in the city of Rome at pres
ent, his chief competitors for
the news being representatives
of Italian newspapers. The ab
surd statements associated that
the United Press announcement
was false was based merely up
on the contention that the official
proclamation had not then been
issued.

University Endowment To Be
Loaned.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 20. —The
State Debt Board is advertising
for bids on the loan of $9,000
belonging to the University of
Arkansas endowment fund. Ten
years ago a number of sewer
bond were preented to the Uni
versity ,and since they were re
deemed the money has been lying
in the state treasury. At 6 per
cent interest, it would almost
have doubled in this time. The
donor of the bonds did not speci
fy what should be done with the
proceeds, and there has been
some question about the use of
the money. It has been decided
that the State Board should put
the money out at interest, and
the bids will be opened Septem
ber 19.

Contract.
Special to Independent.
George R. Belding of Hot
Springs, and George R Mann of
Little Rock, commissioners and
architect for the Arkansas build
ing at the Panama- Pacific Ex
position. will arrive Thursday in
St. Louis to close the contract

building at the big San Francis
co show. The commissioners in
the various counties have alread.
begun their campaign for
funds to equip this exhibit and
maintain it during the exposi
tion, and it is expected that the
work will all be done by
the time the building is com
i
pleted, which will be by the first
of the year.
Should Record Campaign Lies.
[United Press Dispatch.
| A record of “campaign lies” is
,the unique proposal made by
Representative William (Alfalfa
| Bill) Murray of Oklahoma. He
{insists that candidates, when
[filing their official accounts of
campaign expenses should be re
quired to file a record under oath
a “list of all prevarications,
falsehoods, and lies he has in
vented or circulated, uttered or
printed against his opponent or
any of them ”
Representative Rucker of Mis
souri jocularly suggested to
| Murray that such a record would
t completely swamp the election
{officials and clerks from one end
of the country to the other with
jadditional and unnecessary work.
:He said the work would be un
necessary because the general
public knows that almost every
word spoken by candidates who
are campaigning are stretched
to some extent when they are
directed against the opponent.

STATr CHAMPION NOT IN IT
Real Hero of the Links in This Com
munity Was the Man Who Re
fused to Play the Game.
We had a chance to demonstrate
M»r theory last fail, saya a writer In
the Topeka Capital. It worked like a
potato in a rheumatic's pocket.
Through the influence of the missus,
who has friends, we obtained a card
to a very select country club In an
eastern state, where we stayed ten
days. The club had golfltis in its
most acute form. The men end wom
en who frequented the club played
golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept
it. It was the home of the state
champion and the game was the one
important topic of conversation.
For a day or two we were lost in
the atmosphere of golf which befog
ged the place. Then we began to at
tract a little attention by indicating
in a delicate and polite way that the
whole thing bored us to extinction.
When we respectfully declined to en
gage in the game or borrow any at
the implements connected with the i
sport there was great surprise. Our j
assertion that we did not play the i
game and did not wish to was receiv- j
ed with amazement. Up to the time j
of our advent the state champion had i
been the colossal figure of the club. ]
At the end of three days we had
the state champion hanging on to the
ropes. At the end of a week his ex
istence had been forgotten. As a
curiosity he had been crowded out of
place by the “eccentric'' Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the j
world’s champiouship games, deaf to ;
golf and all of Its manifestations. It 1
isn’t always the hand that Is dealt *
you. It is the way you play it

ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION
Women of Servia, Well Educated and
Able, Are Companions of Their
Husbands and Brothers.
There is no country in the world
where women occupy a more dignified
position in the home than Servia. The
Servian idea is quite different from
that of the Turk, who keeps his wom
en behind shut doors or the German,
whose ideal woman is a hausfrau. In
Servia the woman is the companion of
the man.
A man is responsible for his un
married sisters, and throughout the
Balkan states it is considered rather
a breach of etiquette for him to man>
ry before his older sister.
No Servian gM would feel she could
hold up her head in society unless
she could speak four languages. There
is hardly a Servian woman who can
not play some musical instrument.
Embroidery, painting, drawing, and
sculpture are all studied. Politics is
a popular feature among women.
Servian women ar» very domesticat
ed and the highest ladies pay personal
attention to trivial matters of house
keeping.
There are twp women doctors prac
ticing in Belgrade, and several wom
en teachers. But public opinion, on
the whole, is rather against women
entering the labor arena.
Jekyll and Hyde Both Out.
Oae day Mr. Jenkins, senior part
her in the hrm, came out ot his pri
vate office and handed Jimmy, the of
fice boy, a slip of paper and said:
“Here, Jimmy, go over to the pub
lio library and get me ‘Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.' I have written it on a
piece of paper for you so that you will
not forget.'*
Jimmy lost the slip of paper on the
way. When he discovered his loss
he returned to the office without go
lng to the Library and was seated at
his little desk Innocently shooting flies
with a rubber band wtuan Mr. Jenkins
Said to him:
“Well, Jimmy, where’s ‘Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. HydeT’"
"Please, Mr. Jenkins," responded
Jimmy with well feigned candor, -‘‘the
lady at the library said they both Just
went to the hall game and to call for
1 them in the morning."
Old Town Again In Limelight.
Stockwell, England, where a hidden
church over 600 years old has Just
been discovered, has hitherto been
chiefly famous for its ghost, which set
all London In an uproar In 1772. Mak
ing the furniture dance and fhe crock
ery fall was the ghost’s specialty,
though by way of variety an egg once
flew across the room and hit the cat
Having excited London and frightened
Stockwell, the ghost retired, leaving
behind a firm belief In his supernatural
origin, until many years later a serv
ant admitted that long horse hairs at
iched to the crockery and wires to
he furniture Lrad enabled her to play
the ghost so successfully that frighten
ed beholders never evon detected such
open feats as throwing the egg at the
cat
La Qrande Passion.
"One grande passion eat one
grande folle. Mediocrity In all thingB
is wisdom; mediocrity In sensations is
superlative wisdom. ... No young
lady should fall in love till the offer
has been made, accepted, the marriage
ceremony performed, and the first half
year af married life has passed away.
A woman may then begin to love, but
with very great precaution—very c aol
ly, very moderately, very rationally.
If ever she loves so much that
harsh word or a cool look cuts her to
the heart, she Is a fool. If she ever
loves so much that her husband’s will
Is her law, and that she has got into
tha habit of watching his look In or
der that she may anticipate his
wishes, she will so>n he a neglected
fool"—Charlotte Bronte.
