Sensational Free Attractions Day and Nigh
To Entertain State Press .
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 11.—No mat
ter what has been said of Little
Rock as a city for hospitality, it
must become secondary to the
comments which follow the en
tertainment of the Arkansas
Press Association, which will
convene in annual session here
May IS, 19 and 20. The edit
ors will be entertained at the
principal hotels of the city, dur- j
ing the tnree days of their stay,
and the bilks will be footed by the
citizens. This is made possible
through the energy displayed by
the Little Rock Press Club, an
organization of 25 newspaper
writers in the capital city.
The entertainment committee
has been very busy arranging
for this convention—in fact, too
busy, for with all the entertain
ment features, it was found that
f i 111 l' in anocinna umnl/'l Kn
wiped off the slate, and the bout
ride on the Arkansas had to be
abandoned. In its stead the ed
itors will have the privilege of
hearing a leading Little Rock
musician render a number of se
lections on a pipe organ, and
later attend the performance at
a local theater
A decided feature of tlie pro
gram will be a speech made to
the editors, by some national
man of prominence, through
courtesy of the Southwestern
Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany. This speech will be de
livered over the telephone from
New York, Washington, or some
other city, and if it can be ar
ranged, President Woodrow Wil
son will speak for 20 minutes to
the Arkansas squirrel heads.
In order to do this the telephone
company must have two wires
open all the time between Wash
ington and Little Rock, because
there might be a mishap to one,
and the other would be immedi
|
ately placed in commission and
the conversation proceed without
interruption.

One Word She Could Say.
An earnest Loudon slum worker re

Calling Down the Nurse.
Little Frank's nurse, when finding
him In mischief was in tlw habit of
exclaiming: "What in the name of
j common sense are you doing?” One
morning, while she was bathing him,
he asked: "What in the name of cop
per cents do you mean by getting soap
In my wes?"
Humility F'rst.
We shall never be tne "light of the
world" except on condition of being
the “salt of the earth* You have to
do the humble, inconspicuous, allant
work of checking corruption by a pur*
example before you can aspire to do
the other work of raying out light Into
the darkness, and so drawing men to
7hrl8t himself.—Alexander McLaren
Non-Rusting Tinware.
If new tinware be rubbed over with
fresh lard and thoroughly heated In
the oven before it Is used, it will never
rust afterwards, no matter how much '
it Is put into water. For stained tin j
ware borax produces the best results
If a tea pot or coffee-pot Is discolored
on the inside, boil It in a strong so
lution of borax for a short time, and
all its brightness will return.

In Praise of Courage.
Certain virtues are divided fron
ylces by so narrow a line that we mus
discern very clearly to see the differ
ence. Few men can distinguish pride
from vanity; perseverance from stub
bornness; economy from avarice. The
same is true of courage as dlstln
guished from effrontery. The courag
eoua man must have ambition, no
merely dream of what he would like
to have. The audacious havo beer
found fault with for their brutality li
overcoming all obstacles—but force li
necessary to accomplish any real pur
pose.—Chicago American
Arrested at Child's Grave.
A pathetic scene took place at
Geneva cemetery the other clay, v.’u
a French couple, who had be on cu
peled from the town, were arrest*-,
as thy were attending the burial o
their only child. While the priest wa
reading the burial service, the' detec
tlves Informed them that, they woulc
be conducted- to prison but they wei
allowed to remain un*!l the end o
the ceremony.
Marking Arrival of Age.
When I get to be old I ain’t goln'
to find It out by oountln’ up to see,
nor by my whiskers, nor by my gums,
aor none of them signs. They’ll all
fool you. No, sir! But one of these
times I’ll get throwed down, and I
won't bounce back. Then I’ll know
It’t all over. When a man gets that
way, he’s old. Old, secT It don’t
make any difference how much longer
he lives after that, he don’t ever get
Any older.—"Billy Fortune.’’

I cannot tell you how I suffer

Our family doctor told my husl
