H Coprriaht, 1018. by The Pree Publishing On, (fhe Mow York World), SCOTCHMAN, John Luw, went te France early in the eighteenth cen- tury and there taught the French King how to spend money he did not have. In thanks for these lessons in friendly finance the King gave Law a New World province named Arkansas. Law, in return, was to settle Arkansas with 1,600 Germans ‘and to protect them from the Indians, But “ he preferred to make money rather than his tory. So he stayed where he was. And he speedily came to disaster, while his Arkansas colony died unborn, He had thrown away the substance for | the shadow. De Soto, in the sixteenth century, had tramped and fought wearily ‘through Arkansas on the fruitless quest that brought him burial in the Mississippi's yellow waters. Bienville, who settled Alabama, swept down | upon Arkansas in 1686 and seized it in the name of France's king. French trad nd hunters formed rude settlements there. And in 1762 they were ousted by Spain, only to return once more to their mastery | of the district in 178, Still, the place did not grow, but remained a aparsely sottled wilderness, It was called Arkansas even then from the tribe of Arkansaw Indians that had once occupied ft.

In 1819 tt became formeliy known as Arkansas Territory, and tt included what was afterward Indian Territory. In 1836 Arkansas was admitted to the Union as a slave State, to balance the admittance of Michigan as a free State. For the next quarter century the pagu> lation steadily increased. The great planters owned « large part of the State, and local government wai the hands of one emed clique. .
