We’ve met a few stingy men
read of a great many others, but
the stingiest man we’ve heard of
yet is an Illinoisiau who recently
pumped water upon his head, let
his hair freeze" and then broke it
off rather than pay a barber for
cutting it. Ex.
-Many amusing incidents occur
in the school of the country as
illustrated by the following, said
to have been recently experienced
by a teacher in the northern part
of the county. Having explained
the word “dogma” to her pupils
she wrote it upon the board and
requested her students to write a
sentence containing the word.
One little.girl came in too late to
• hear the definition but took part
in the exercises just the same,
and this is what she wrote: “Our
dogma has three puppies.” Ex.
Broken Levee
On last Wednesday 18th the St
Francis Levee broke at Trice’s
landing and two passenger trn ins
coming from Memphis, orfethe
Cotton Belt, the other the Frisco, i
ran up on the wash out and te
I
fore they could turn back, . the
trade between them and Mem
phis had washed out. Thus fore-1
ing them to remain there over
night.
There are some 75 passengers

companies are taking good care
of them. No danger is anticipated
for the passengers. The trains
are on the Iron mountain about

The Iron Mountain is taking

On last Saturday a week ago,
! the Nittv.s Man took his “Devil’
to the city of Memphis for the
j tirsfrtime.
We went to Brinkley on the
Choctaw and as day was begin
1 ning to draw the garments of
. darkness about his drowsy form,
i Luther said, “It will be dark be
j fore we get to Memphis. If I
| had thought about it, I would
have brought the old man’s lan
tern along.” Of course, we
laughed and drove on.
Near Forrest City, a lot of tele
graph poles were standing on flat
( ears on the side-track as we were
i sailing by on the Rock Island
| Cannonball, Luther asked us,
j “Where are those poles going?”
| We told him we thought the pros
j pects for rain good.
At one place along the road,
Luther was iutently watching the
fence along the right-of-way. We
noticed him closely and as we
approached a cow-gap, he began
to move from the window. When
the train had crossed over, he
said, “Oh Lordy! We came very
near running over that man’s
fence.”
When we reached Memphis,
Luther asked us 146.r> questious.
We kept strict account of them.
One of them was to tind out how
all those lights were ignited. We
told him that a wire walker with
a long torch. Luther said he was
going to watch that performance
the next night.
We walked in at the Gayosa
and stepped on the costly carpet
in the hall. At this juncture, he
yelled, “Look out Mr. Kramer
or you’ll go through.”
A‘s we passed the theater, our
Devil remarked, “What makes
them put so many lanterns here?
They are prettier than ray Pa’s
lantern.”
We saw many other amusing
sights, but time and space for
bids any more. I ris’-conclusion,
we will say, while at Court
Square watching for the wire
warier with Jiis torch, all at
once, the current was turned on
and Luther rubbered at every
light to get a glimpse of the man
with his torch. He has not fully
