One year ago the universal belief
and cry was, when our business rooms
began to rent for from $50 TO 500
per month, that this is only spasmodic,
a thing of the moment, that prices in
regard TO rent for business rooms and
the like would soon take tumble, that
the country was too youthful to sus-
tain business on this enlarged scale;
still everything is on the ascending
plane. and Messrs. Smyih Il McGlll,
whose net cash receipts reach the as
tonishing sum of over 5000 per day
in the magnificent Almon & Halstein
block, are demanding of the owners
of this block that they enlarge their
building and give them more room.
Smyth & McGill is firm that | have
ever taken deep interest in and
am at loss 10 know how it is that
they have built up such an immense
business here, unless il is the fact that
they come from Wichita, where every
thing, even to the EAGLE, is immense.

gclist, who is preaching TO crowded
houses here every night in the new e.
b. church, and where many are pro-

rectly styled the boy preacher.

FIJI! appearance, however, there is
nothing childish or whimsical about
Mr.. Little. and he seems to be here on
grave and great mission. and that is
not 10 show how much he knows or
how bright scholar he is. CT any
thing of that sort, but to tell the peo-
pie how much an infinite Savior loves !
a perishing world.
Mr.. Little was born in Baltimore,
Maryland, where he entered On his |
first evangelistic work. some five |
years ago, and where in his first meet |
ing over one thousand people pro-
