PEOPLE are very forgetful. They
have to think pretty hard to rem
ember the vice-presidential candi,
date the campaign back, and yet
he was pretty well advertised at
the time. It has been truly said
that the time to advertise is all
the time. In business there is no
such thing as standing still. "A

Just as much business this year
as you did last, some other fellow
is doing more business and he is
getting ahead of you

exceed last years sales. The only

hot, and advertise in dull times to
heat the iron. # can Be done.

THESE FACTS ARE KNOVN

AS an attorney Dan. w. Jones
like any other lawyer is depend
ent upon his profession for living
and lawyers will therefore engage
i'll almost any case where they are
employed. So as an attorney Dan
w. Jones took cases for railroads
but this does not imply that when
he shall be governor, which he
will be, that he will still continue
to practice law for railroads. III
fact a lawyer is prohibited to prac-
tice when he becomes governor,
AS governor Dan w. Jones will be
the chief executive of all the peo-
pie in Arkansas and as such will
do his full duty as sworn official
Garland and Fishback were both
railroad attorneys before they be-
came governors, but after they
qualified, respectively, nobody
ever dreamed of charging either
with being either for or against
railroads. They simply did their
duties as their oaths enjoined. -

The facts as above stated are
well known by every one of the
campaign liars. The people know
them too and the dirty war The

waging on Dan w. Jones is result

gasted with such foul methods, a,

IT is no wonder that the people
are through with such men as
Carlisle, the faced apostle
Of the defunct duck hunter, Gro
yer. If Carlisle could just blot
out his previous record on the
money question perhaps he would
at least have sympathizer now.
When he gets up to argue in favor
of the "gold standard" and his
Wall street bosses. this is the
ghost that haunts him:
"The consummation Of such a
scheme would ultimately entail
more seriously upon the human
race than all the wars, pestilences
and famine that ever occurred in
the history Of the world. The alb
solute and instantaneous destruc-
tion of half the movable property,
of the world, including horses,
ships, railroads and all other APP
|pliances for carrying on com
merce, while it would be felt more
sensitively at the moment, would
not produce anything like the
prolonged distress and disorgan-
ization Of society that must inev-
itably result from the permanent
annihilation of one-half of the
metallic money of the world.

not, his attention was called to a huge
bird soaring aloft over the rocks high
above the roadway. He recognized the
bird as an eagle and decided to cap
ture it. AS it settled among the cliffs
he became convinced that there was a
nest, so, climbing the mountain side
with his gun, after an hours labor,
he reached the pinnacle of the cliff
Looking over he discovered that his
surmise was true. AT the same time
the noise above attracted the attention
OF the mother bird, and with a loud
scream she rose from the nest and at
once began to prepare for fight Con-
tinually screaming, she rose high until
almost vertically over Mr.. Orr. Then
with her ta1ons wide spread she began
to swoop down upon him. Realizing
his position, Mr.. Orr raised the gun to
his shoulder and when the bird was
within but q few feet Of him he fired.
The dead bird measured over nine feet
from tip to tip.
Over the cliff 100 feet below he could
see the young birds A rope was pro-
cured, and, tying one end around the
waist of a boy who was with him, he
lowered the little fellow over the edge.
The nest with the young birds was
raised to the top safely. The birds,
although only three weeks old, are as
large as a hen, and can eat meat equal
to a full-grown st. Bernard dog.
