BANKER FOR THE WORLD.
Prediction That Uncle Sam WIN Becom,

recollection That Uncle Sam WIN Becom.
Great Money Lender.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-A special from
Washington says: There are senator's
who predict Uncle Sam will become the
banker for the world. Two old world
Governments, Russia and Japan. have
turned their faces to the United States
IN search of loans. Russia ut least has
had agents sound American iinanciers.
This is the first time European nations
have sought to float great national
,,ans in America, and the wise men
think it is the beginning of a new era
ltmay be said on authority that .Japan
needs the money ostensibly to meet a
definite deficit in her revenues produced
hy heavy expenditures for land and sea
armament and also to assist her in
,he establishment Of a national
industrial bank. That is Japan,s
official explanation Of her needs.
In diplomatic circles it is sbrewdly sus-
pected that Japan is preparing herself
for an ultimate struggle with Russia.
and has been hurried by the activity Of
Russia in borrowing So, 800, 900 to re.
place her artillery with rapid fire guns.
1t was learned at n of the legations
that this loan. recently made in France.
is only a fourth Of what Russia needs
and that Russia has come to. this coun.
try for assistance because she failed to
get all she wished from France. It is
presumed that Japan and Russia be.
tween them will want 500, 900, 900.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2O.-John J. Mitchell.
president Of the Illinois Trust and Saw

The Russian loan is for the Russian
railway guaranteed by the Russian gov
eminent and is asked at 80 per cent.
1t is not especially surprising that they
come to this country. for the United
States is the cheapest money market in
the world at present.
Russian credit stands high and that
government will probably get whatever

Effect Of Lime ON the sx.t.m.

~ ! OA t00 Sy0tGms
A medical scientist is authority for
the statement that children and old
people especially suffer from a lack Of
lime in the system. Persons who habit
ually drink soft water, while they NAV
enjoy immunity from certain Of the ill
OF life, expose themselves to others per-
haps quite as much to be avoided. Hard
water helps the teeth and the bones BY
furnishing lime, which is necessary e.
health, growth and development. Old
persons who drink but little lose thei.
teeth more quickly than those who take
q reasonable amount Of drinking water.
Lime. or food products in which Il
abounds, should be a part Of the regu.
lar supply furnished to the system.
One Of the most valuable vegetables fos
this purpose is the yellow turnip q
ruta baga, which should be given e
growing children at least once a week.
Properly prepared, it is very relishable
and its food value has never been appre.
dated.

Late Saturday afternoon Deputy Constable Frank Stewart arrested a middle-aged white man, whose ap- pearance denoted that he is a mem Der of the Brotherhood of Do Nothings,' or an up-to-date hobo
 He was trying to dispose of a fine set of harness, probably valued at $50. He offered to sell the same for S3.
 Upon being questioned he said be had traded watch for the harness in Memphis.a
 He was locked up to await an in- vestigation. The harness is doubt less stolen property, but no loss Of like nature has been reported to the police. He will probably have a hearing before Justice Vance this afternoon.

ENTER THORNTON POST OFFICE BAND RELIEVE
 SAFE OF CONTENTS.
S20O REWARD OFFERED.
With the Aid of Nitro-Glycerine They Succeed in Blowing the
 Safe Door to Atoms.

About midnight Satday a couple of bold and doubtless practical safe blowers forced an entrance into tn he postoffice building at Thornton, 45 miles south of.this city on lhe Cot ton Belt road and afterwards were successful ir getting away with about $500 or $400 in cash and as much in checks, stamps, etc. {
 The first news of the affair reached this city his morning., when Chief of Police Craig received a telephone message from Postoffice Inspector Hall, Of Little Rock, stating that he would send full particulars with a description of the robbers later, but he should in the mean time keep a strict look out for suspicious char acters. Whether the men were "hise or colored is unknown, as on ly one person, a widow, who resides near by, saw them make their exit from the building after the robbery, as she happened tC be iD the rear yard of her residence.
 The robbers are doubtless profes- sionals in their line, as they went at their work in smooth manner. fter manufacturing small funnel of mud, it was inserted between the small cracks of the safe door. Then nitro -glycerine was poured into the funnel, and as is natural, being a slimy fluid, it slid down into the safe. A match and string was then used and the door blown from It's fasten- ings. The money which amounted to about $500 or $400 in cash and about the same amount in checks, stamps, etc, was secured. Among the checks was one for $16 made out by the Little Bay Lumber G.. of Little Bay, Ark.
 A reward of two hundred dollars is offered by the government for their capture.
 The robbers were two in number, and up to the present writing the officials have no clue of thelr where abouts.

To IA Stranger in New York" the latest comedy work of that pop ular playwright, Charles Hoyt, be- longs the distinction of playing to larger and more enthusiastic audi ences last season than any of the Hoyt attractions. It's engagement of 30 weeks in New York, first at the Garrick, then at Hoyts theatre was phenomenally successful, dis playing as it did the Standing Room Only" sign at every perform ance. Of all the plays Mir. HoYt has presented to the stage in the past, none have proved a greater drawing card or made a more favorable im- pression than this master piece which so far as humor is concerned, has never been duplicated on the stage. Competent critics have it as offering the widest scope for the display of versatility, ard is replete with bright lines, clever people and up-to-date features. The songs are of the catchy order, the dialogue keen and penetrating while the story kenetiscope picture of every day in the great metropolis.
 The scenes are laid ln New York in what is known as the Ten derloin district. The first act shows the ladies parlor in the Hoff- man house, and the last act repre- ser ts a room in the tower of the Madison square Garden, New York on the night of the famous French ball. This scene has been most favorably commented on t,s won derfully clever piece Of stage device, showing as it does the three work ing elayators. The Stranger" comes to the opera house this city next Wednesday evening, Dec. IA.

An Accidental success

Once upon a time, so runs the story. there was a man in London who had eentured upon various publishing schemes with but poor success, and was beginning to despair of ever 1nak. rng fortune when, by chance, he be- thought himself of a huge scrapbook which his wife had compiled of var ious literary odds and ends that had enchained her fancy. She called her scrapbook 'Tit-Bits," and 1t occurred to her husband that such odds and ends. published In periodical form, might interest other people as well as his wife. The result of this medita- Hon on his part was the appearance 5f a little penny paper called Tit Bits" which proved so popular and gained such a wide circulation that Its proprietor felt encouraged to place other literary ventures on the market, ind If was not long before he became known as the publisher of a number ,f extremely popular penny periodi- sals. He is now a millionaire many
 lmes over and a baronet, while his wife, whose serapbook proved the cornerstone of their prosperity, finds aer reward in the title of Lady Newnes.

Hotels and Kickers.

"Confound a kicker, anyhow" said a quiet gentleman at the counter of hotel, after good specimen of the tribe had given an exhibition and re- tired. ''Why the dickens does a fellow want to make himself so disagreeable? When anything about house dis pleases me seriously 1 simply pay my bill and go somewhere else. A con- plaint is both foolish and useless. 1t is a nuisance to the guests, an annoyance to the management, and the employe complained of is almost certain to do something to get even. The best plan, as I say, is to hold your tongue and get out" When the quiet gentleman had sauntered away the clerk took an inn ing. That's just the kind of guest that hotels dread" he declared earnestly.
 "They ruin more houses than all the kickers put together. They don't give us a chance to repair anything wrong, but go away and give Us q black eye all over the country, and their reputation for never kicking lends great weight to whatever they say. No hotel service is perfect. Such a big machine is cer- tain to be slipping cogs continually, and we like to be told about it. Of course there are some donkeys who make habit of complaining without special cause on the theory that it se- cures them better treatment than the ether guests obtain. Such fellows are q nuisance, but they are infinitely pre- ferable to the guests who leave with out notifying us what is wrong"
