Wearing of the Hood.
In England the hood was not final
ly given up until the early part of
fifteenth century. Th9 “great velvet
hat furred” worn by the mayor of Lon
don, John Welles, In 1482, Is cited as
a singularity by Stow, who states that
previously “the coverture of men’s
heads was hoods, for neither cap or
hat Is spoken of.’ In point of fact
there are a few earlier instances of
hats being worn by nobles and oven

Negro Revival Grows In Interest
Rev. -J. D, Dennis of Argen
ta, the presiding elder of the
Newport District, of tne Afri
can Methodist church, preached
last night. His text was taken
from Matt. 7:24: "Therefore,
whosoever heareth these say
ings of mine and doeth them. 1
will liken him unto a wise man
which built his house upon a
rock.” Rev. Dennis said in
part: "The scoffings of this age.
the fame and riches to which
men aspire are all sandy founda
tions. Whatever man may at
tempt to do, if he attempts it
without the religion of Jesus
Christ, that man is building up
on an unsafe foundation. But,
the religion of Jesus Christ, is
the indestructable foundation—
and will last throughout time
and eternity. Voltaire, Eolin
brook, Tom Payne, Ingersoll, and
their votaries have tried to rea
son, and philosophize the Chris
tian religion out of existence,
but the foundations upon which i
they built their superstructure
were built upon the sand, and !
the ages are crumbling their
houses to dust, while those who
build upon the Rock of Ages
find themselves defying the
storms of sin, and living in an
atmosphere, where the soul re
ceives health and happiness.”
Several came forward for pray
or
Dr. Robinson said: “I want
you people to serve God some
by giving, so that we may meet
the expenses of this meeting.
God will not let you have a re
vival in a hundred years, so long
as you come out here and sing
and holler, and when the basket
is passed you don’t put in
enough money to pay for the
lights. No sir, religion has a
business side to it.” “Again,
some of you people are wanting
| me to do in this meeting what I
jam not going to do. Some of
you want me to cut out this
choir, and lay aside these song
books, and cut monkey shines,
and kick over benches, and the
like—I am not going to do it
' if we never have a revival. God
is intelligent, the people among
whom we live are intelligent,
and it is time we were teaching
these sinners to accept Jesus
j Christ in an intelligent man
! ner.” There is no need of men
I hanging their heads down,
whining to get religion—they
don’t hang their heads down
and whine when they want to
| gamble, or when they want to
get drunk. My God, men! Just
change your way of living, and
resolve to be a Christian.” Rev.
Robinson will hold a service on
Front street at 7:30 this even
ing and will preach at the
church at 8:30. The reporter
made Rev. Grumbles say
“Payne” twice in his Monday
night’s sermon, when he said
“Paul.”
Governor Could Not Go.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 29.—Gov. J.
M. Futrell did not accompany
the Boosters excursion which
left Little Rock for Fort Smith
over the the Iron Mountain
Tuesday morning. He stated
that he was loath to decline the
invitation, especially as the peo
ple all along the line anticipated
a speech from him, but he is
now so busy arranging the af
fairs of the office to turn it over
j to his successor, that he cannot
j leave it even for a day.

H. L. Remmel, another ' one
counted on as a leading speaker,

whom specialists had to be

CHARM HARD TO ANALYZE
Its presence Easily "sit, but Descrip
tion Will 2; "curd a Thing
of Some Difficulty.
Over half of our American girls
work They stand behind counters,
bend over machines, sit at desks, and
march, militant figures, in the proces
sion of Industries that seem to block
the road to girlish grace and light
heartedness and freedom from care
One woman who has worked among
and written books about and found
Inspiration in the working girl say#
that charm sometimes drifts down,
unawares, a thing ephemeral, a gift
of the god# to the gtef w! o has bad to

time to think about her tack of
beauty.
"T wish l knew wherein charm lies:
but I don’t know, although I've stud
ied It and tried to analyze It as much
as mod folks have. I suspect.. In
hooks. In pictures, in people. In places.
Tve met. many, many kinds of charm;
but. I’ve never been able to say Just
what It was that, charmed me. Cer
tainly It was nev«r mere beauty, nor
mere Intelligence, nor mere cheerful
ness, nor mere kindliness. I’ve seen
beauty that bored, and listened to
cleverness ’hat repelled, and met with
cheerfulness *hat. was Inane and with
kindliness that was exasperating.
Charm is a gift of 'he gods, and It
cannot be wooed like fame, nor wot
like money, nor bought 'ike titles, nor
developed like patience, nor seized
like a prize, o' war. If It comes, it
comes; and If it’s thought on too
much. It flies away. And there's an

LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly CofK
vlnced That the Youngster Was
Competent to Give it.
The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to. tor It
was getting late. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered oat into the
garden, so he wended his steps ta
that direction. Ha soon oeme across
the young people, and found than ta
% most interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girl clasped
la both his arms, and was Waring her
as if he hadn't tasted such a dainty
tor at. least firs minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
oseulatory performance to the finish—
which he found to be somewhat, weary
work—and then made his presence
known.
"Isn't It very late for you young
people to be out?” he said.
“It is—Is rather, pa,” faltered the
fair girl; “hilt—but. Mr. Popple has
been gtv—giving me a lesson in as—
astronomy."
“My stars!" ejaculated the old gen
tleman.- “He has, and no mistake! I
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great. Bear hugs."
Then the young couple looked so
foolish that the old gentleman shut
W e eyes out of sheer compassion.
Poet's Memory Lives.
The saying “Christmas comes but
once a year" Is attributed to Thomas
Tusser. a medieval poet (1624-1680),
who seems to have been strong oa
epigrams. The same idea may have
occurred to others, but Tusser gave
it expression. He was classed as aa
agrlealtural poet, partly because ha
had not much edueatloa aad partly
because he treated simple themes,
which he understood ta a phh and
swyh way. Tusser had an ear tar
meals. aad served te order as chor
ister In some churches of his day.
His first publication was entitled “A
Hundred Good Points of HusbanA
rie,” and later he published “A Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandrte Lata
ly Married Unto a Hundred Good
Points of Housewifery,” and atm later
this was amplified Into “Five Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unlb
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery,*
Reprints of fhese boks are still e*
tant with an autobiography of the au
thor in verse. Southey, himself a
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
"a good, honest, homely, useful old
rhymster.” Some of Tusser s phrases
have passed Into proverbs.
Looking to the Future.
The beautiful lady consulted her
uttorney, and was received with bows
and smiles.
“I am glad to tell you," said the
legal gentleman, “that your breach
of promise suit has already produced
results. The defendant has offered to
compromise by marrying you.”
•That suits me.” deol&red the beau
tiful lady. “I’d rather do that than
stand a chance of losing a suit. Well,
you have done beautifully. What do
I owe you for your services f”
"‘Shall we say $50C?”
“We shall not. That Is altogether
too much.”
“Well, I'll tell yon what I’ll do.
I'll out that bill in two if you will

for divorce.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Men of Intellect and Renown Join la
Testimony to the Value of
Jollity in Life.
The value of a good natnred laugh
may be rated low by some people:
but. many writers have attested it»
worth lti no measured terms.
It is not surprising that Charles
I.anab should have said, “A laugh Is
worth a hundred groans in any mar
ket;” but from the lips of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, "Mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or trreclalraably bad.”
j It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
i stated that, “What was talked of as
I the golden chain of Jove was nothing
more than a succession of laughs, a
! chromatic Beaks of merriment reach
1 lng from earth t.o Olympus.”
"I am persuaded,” wrote Laurence
; Sterne, "that every time a man smile*
; but much more so when ha laughs—It
I adds something to his fragment of
life.”
} Last of all may bo cited the verdict
I of Oliver Wendell Holme*, given with
his own Inimitable humor, "The rlok
out tumult of a laugh. I take It, la th*
mob law of the feature*, and Pro
priety the magistrate who read* Ik*
riot act”—The Sunday Magazine.

the “wonder of the world" that Le

of a garden owned by Chaucer. Hen

It—his successors evidently thought

Rich today, he was poor and a failure

Horace for three days lived on bread

him from a London admirer, Inclosing

also an Item from a theatrical page
