ws CREAM Baking Powder Wholesome—Reliable— Indispensable Its fame is world-wide. Its superiority unquestioned. Its use is a protection against alum food. In buying baking powder examine the label carefully and be sure the powder is made from cream of tartar. Other kinds do not v make the food healthful. NORTH ARKANSAS NEWS The Wood Spring correspondent of the Melbourne Times makes this an nouncement: "Mad-dogs are touring our country.” The 2-year-old daughter of Luther Burden, a farmer living near Moun tain Home, fell and broke her hip Monday as she was running across the floor at the family residence. Pleas Oliver, a boy raised by good, Christian parents, right here in old Benton township, has deteriorated into an Oklahoman, and is running for congress on the socialist ticket.— Salem Sun. A Cotter paper says that the rain which fell in that section last week did much good and that if other rains follow soon but little damage will have been done to crops. It is said that the loss in early corn in that section will lie offset by late forage crops, such as cane and millet. The Randolph County Musical As sociation, which has for its object the development of vocal singing in that county, will hold its annual meeting at Brakebill July 11-12. It is de clared that this association has done much good in helping the younger boys and girls in the rural districts to become interested in the training of their voices. The largest big-mouth bass ever caught in the Mountain Home section was captured a few days ago by Cleo Arnett, who was fishing with rod and reel in a bayou which empties into the North Fork. The fish weighed seven pounds, and had a mouth meas uring more than five inches across. It took Arnett, who is a young boy. half an hour to land the fish. One of the largest family reunions ever held in this part of the state was held at the home of T. H. Wells, 18 miles west of Pocahontas, this week. It was a gathering of the Dalton family and relatives and 500 were present from different states. The reunion lasted two days and the time was spent in spelling-bees, addresses and story-telling. A large tent was erected which gave shelter to all at night, and all the near-by relatives had prepared food for the entire crowd. A dispatch from Cotter to the Ga zette says: “Many hogs have come down out of the woods to the banks of White river and are getting fat by following the pearl fishers and eating the flesh of the mussels that have been torn from the shells by the hope ful ones engaged in the industry. In some places this is reversed. Mussel shells are bringing a good price this year, and the low stage of the White river has uncovered many gravel bars and the hogs are rooting the mussels out of these. A few minutes in the hot sun causes them to open their shells and the hog soon has a meal. Pearl fishers and shell gath erers watch these droves of hogs when they are working on a gravel bar, and after they are through they follow them, picking up the shells, which they sell.* If your brain won't work right and you miss the snap, vim and energy that was once yours, you should take Prickly Ash Bitters.

July B.— Supposed to have been drowned, identified, buried and the grave marked by a tombstone. James McKinnon, the owner of a 700-acre ranch near Hart line. Wash., a large ranch near Red । Deer, Elberta, and a substantial bank । deposit, appeared in Spokane this , week, to the surprise of his friends and acquaintances. Since the report of his death and funeral got abroad he has been having a distressing ex ! , perience in establishing his identity. A man of McKinnon’s size was taken from the Spokane river on No । vember 6of last year. The body was । positively identified as James McKin , • non by D. J. Leahy, 407 Sinto avenue, according to the records. H. H. Hut ton, 20 Main avenue, was not so sure, although the dimensions of the men were not unlike. A laundry mark “J. McK.” found on the underwear of the ■ dead man. seemed to clinch the con . elusion, and the body was given a re -1 spectable burial in Fairmount ceme tery as James McKinnon, ranchman ,! and depositor. Through the papers James McKm non learned at his ranch in Alberta that he had been drowned and buried. ; Distressed by the circumstances, in • which he foresaw a distribution of his । estate and his reduction to a condition , of poverty, he hastened from his | ranch, which is remotely situated, to , the nearest telegraph office. I He started in a blizzard, and was . halted by having his feet frozen. For many weeks he lay at a ranch house under the care of strangers before he j could resume the journey. In the meantime an inquiry, that suggested t a doubt of his existence, came from । a Spokane bank. When he had satis (| fied the bank he concluded to defer J his visit. On his arrival in Spokane । he immediately went to the undertak . ing rooms to view the record of his > death and burial. i.

He listened care fully, but could not hear a sound. Reassured by the favorable condi tions. Jerry can tiously continued hie operations, and tn a few sec ends a semicircular piece was lift ed out of the pane, a cautious hand slipped through and sprung the catch, and Jerry's portly form sti uggled through the open window It was long after midnight, and he was tired This was not the first house Jerry had visited that night. He had made a few calls in another part of the city with satisfactory re sults, and by all means should now have been safely making for his quar ters But Jerry possessed a trait that many of us have— that of not letting well enough alone This hr soon real ized. for when he straightened up to get his bearings the light was sur denly flashed on. and he found him self looking Into the steely mouth of a six-shooter in the hands of a tall, slender woman. “Surprised, are you’" asked a cool, mocking voice. "I think I am the one to be surprised. My visitors do not usually enter through the window.” She was dressed in a loose pink bath robe, and had a lace scarf twistc ed about her bead "Don't move." sbe said "Now put your hands up on the table " Jerry did so. and she looked him over scorn fully with her bright eyes “Well, start the ball rollin’," said Jerry, who was getting disgusted with the whole affair 'Does you want to know w hat church I goes to. or would you tike to know If I m married or single?" The lady smiled "Neither," she said, "but I would like to know why an able-bodied man like you can't find something better to do than sneaking Into other people's houses in the night? Isn't there plenty of work for a man to do that Is hon est and respectable?” Jerry squirmed uneasily tn bls chair. “Cut It out. mum." be said, raising a wrathful pair of eyes to hen "Cut it out' I didn't come out tonight to listen to a sermon on hon esty If you're goln' to call de cops, do It. but hold yer Jaw, fer 1 ain't tu no humor just about now to be guyed." “But you haven’t answered me," persisted the lady "Why don’t you work —" "Work!" broke tn Jerry. "You’re a perty dame to be talkin' about work. Have you ever worked la yer life? What do you know bout work and about being broke?" “I know more about it than you think, she returned, letting a little warmth creep into her dark eyes. "For that is precisely the position I find myself In at present" "You broke"’ exclaimed Jerry In credulously. throwing bis ayes around the richly furnished room. "Nothing but the truth. We are ruined My husband s fortune inswept away, this house is mortgaged, my Jewels - even my very dresses -have been sold " “Is what yer givln' me on tbe lev el. lady? asked Jerry. "It certainly is," she replied "Can't you see bow hard It Is for tne? One can never Judge by appearances "Come, she said, rousing herself, "it Is time you were off," He opened his eyes in astonishment. "Yer don t mean ter let me go?” be asked "Certainly." she answered, with a faint smile Jerry looked at her In a perplexed manner Say. lady." he said in a voice shaking with feeling. “I'm sure sorry yer up sgainst it. and since you are so white to a fellow. I d like to give you a souvenir myself Yer see," taking a small, carefully wrapped bun dle from his pocket and opening It, so if you will kindly accept thia necklace.” bolding up a beautiful string of diamonds and emeralds. ' I'd be mighty proud ter give It ter you. So long and good luck." he whispered, as he swung himself softly from the window and disappeared Several minutes passed The Isdy stood holding the necklace in her band, watching the light flash and scintillate on tbe gleaming stones. She purs rd up her lips and gave a low whistle What a beauty!" sbs cried "Worth 15.000 at least! Oh. the fool, tne fool!" Slowly she unwound tbe lace scarf from a sleek, black head, closety cropped, and slipped out of the en veloping folds of tbe pink bath-robe, standing revealed a young man. litne and slender "Lucky for me 1 came through the bathroom and heard him first." he said to himself, bringing up a dark lantern and a mask from somewhere under the table With one hand on the electric button he looked cautiously about, then turned out the light, climbed softly through the window, and was rone Into the night. i THE HARD-HEADED MAN : J By DON MARK LEMON. • O • «••••••••••••••••••••••••• (Copyright ) The water tn this here well la as hard as rocks, but that ain't to tie won ’ dered at. seeing as how the well was dug by the hardest headed man tn all creation and Hampshire county About ten years ago. and for about ! twenty years before that, old Jtm 1 Clark and his son Bill lived here. They I were two of a kind, and that kind was rocks. They were hard-headed from tbe socks up They had such hard 1 headed notions about most things that : people around here Just concluded that they were born "sol" One day old man Clark thought he'd j like to have his well over nearer the | barn, and it was a blessed thing he j decided to dig a new hole Instead of moving the old one. or he'd have done It. He says to Bill "Bill. I'm going over to Berkshire to took after some cows, and while I’m gone you hustle a bit and get the well started ” "Where’ll I begin the top of It’ - ’ 1 asks Bill, kind of sarcastic like, as the 1 old well his dad had dug slanted a good bit going down "Right here,” says old man Clark, pointing at this particular spot A hard headed look came Into Bill’s face "Thia ain't no place for the well,” he savs, and he walks round to the other end of the barn and starts ' the well where he thinks it ought to be. "What are you doing there?" calls old man Clark "Digging a well." says Hill "Who told you to dig it over there?" shouts the old man "Common sense." says Bill Then a hard headed look came into old man Clark's face. “You dig the well where I tell you to." he says, "or I'll make you " "Shoo, dad'" says Bill, who was a great, strapping fellow of twenty. “You think 1 can't?" says old man Clark “1 do." says Bill "You’ll dig the well here" says the old man, and about a month later he fills up the new well that Bill dug In the wrong spot, and goes off with the remark that he’ll be back in about five or ten years Bill watches him go over the hill and then he goes back and digs out ( the well that his dad had filled up Well, about six years after that, old man Clark comes Jiome. "Hello, dad'" says Bill "Hello. Bill'" says old man Clark Then he sees that the well hasn't been dug where he wants it. and he says "Are you going to dig that well where I told you to’" “No." says Rill. "1 ain't " "You’ll dig that well where I want you to.” says old man Clark, and he goes Into the bouse and says not an other word about It for ten years, when, as he was dying he calls Bill ( In ants asks "Have you changed your mind about digging that welt?” "No. dad." says Bill. "I ain't." "Youll dig that well *where I told you to." Bays the dying man. and then i he turtle over and dies Rut first he gives Hill a letter, and after the funeral Bill opens It and rends that. elnce he wouldn’t dig the well where his dad wanted him to. old man Clark had drawn out tbe ten thousand dollars that used to be tn the bank, and he would now have to hunt around and find where It was hidden, according to directions The first direction was to dig under a big stone tn the pasture, which Bill did and found a piece of paper tn a lead box telling him to go to a place In South America, up In the Andes, and dig In a certain spot near a river, and ( he would find further directions Bill left the farm In the care of a neighbor, and after months of travel and adventure and danger of all kinds ; he reached the Andes and dug where he had been told to. and unearthed an- ' other little lead box Inside it was a strip of paper which told him to go to Alaska and dig at a certain place near Dawson City and he would learn more. Bill tucked the directions away very carefully and whw he reached Alas ka. he found the spot mentioned by old man Clark and dug for further in formation He unearthed another of those lit- j tie lead boxes. and inside, in the hand writing of his dad was the cheerful information that, since he had been 1 so hard-headed about digsirg that ( well, he would now need to go So Africa and dig in a certain spot— | which he found on the map was about I the middle of that country—and he'd find where the ten thousand dollars ! were buried "ell. Bill tucked th's Information away careful like, and about three years later he found the box. and *n ' side was a slip of paper tailing him I that if he would go home to New Eng land and dig the well Where he had been told to dig it. he would unearth a box containing ten thousand dollars 1 In hundred-dollar notes it took him seven years to reach । New England but finally he got bark home, and after going out to see th- ' old man's grave, he got a shovel and started-to dig the well where his da.l had told him to dig It.
