 An excursion arrived over this road today from Little Rock, the rates are one dollar for the round trip. This city is the center of at- traction this summer for excursions.
 On the new time card the Alt heimer branch caa0h will be moved from Altteimpr to this city on No. 19, and from this city to Altheimer on Nc. 20 daily until further notice. The Aleheimer branch run should be placed on head end of No. 20.

This train will pick up ear load ship ments of fruits and vegetables at any point on its run provided same is loaded and ready for movement before arrival of train.
 From the most reliable source it is learned that the alleged combination between this road. St. Louis South western, the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and the Mobile < Ohio is simply cOntem plated close traffic agreement, giving the Cotton Belt an outlet northeast ward into Chica go, and n0rthward into St. Louis, while the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad will be afforded, by the connection with the Mobile & Ohio, u gulf outlet in competition with the Illinois Central To make this con- nection complete the Chicago & Eastern Illinois will have to build about fifty miles of road from Marion, III to Grey E Point, Mo-, on the Mississippi River. It is said that she construction of this line is now inrapid progress.

 New York, June In this letter l am to write abou, employers, and in next weeks letter about the men who work for them. Let us look into both sides of the question and treat each in fair spirit. Some men do not know how to be good employers, and. were all who hire others like these men. there would then be sufficient cause for a strained relation between the two classes. Happily this is not the case, for there are emplo, CTS, and many Of them, too, who have q truer concep- tion of the responsibilities Of their position than have some of the men who work for them.
 Within four blocks of OUT Othce is a business man of whom his em- ployees talk with affection, because they know he has their interest, as we'll as his own, at heart. Some time ago, during a very dull season in business. he was making much less money than usual. One salesman, a large-salaFied man, went 10 him and offered to work for less salary until business was better. The proprietor accepted the terms of the offer and the reduction began immediately. After several weeks hecalled the man to his office and gave him a check large enough to cover the entire re- duction in salary. This story is true, and another employee of the man spoke in most kindly terms of him as he related these facts to me. Of selfish employers there are many, but it does us good to hear of a thing like this, for it adds one more to the arguments which overthrow the position of those people who talk as if all employers were the sworn enemies of the men who work for them.
 Itis by no means an uncommon thing to find employers who take a heartfelt interest in the welfare of the men who work for them. 'Em- ployers with hearts?" asks some body. Yes, and with good hearts. too. Men who treat their mployees justly, pay them honest wages, and in fact, do by them as they would wish to be done by were the posi- tions reversed.

Men of Another Stamp.

Of course we all know that so,ae proprietors are most unreasonable and selfish men, W ith no conception whatever of the responsibilities of their position. 1t is to be regretted that the need of bread and butter makes it necessary for other people to work for them but such is the case. If a mans ability, his hard work and his capital make it pos sible for hirn to become an employer, he should never so far forget his manhood as to have no regard for the feelings of people who work for him. These people must work, and are dependent to some extent upon him for their livlng. He can, if h7 choose, take advantage of his posi- ton, and use his power in being un- reasonable and disagreeable toward

Here Lies the Secret.

Span the distance between 6n em- ployer and employee with a feeling of mutual interest and you have an ideal relation. But let each believe that the other cares no more for him than to get what he can out of him, and from that time on he will do no more than he is actually obliged to.
 Proprietorship averages to be but short termed thing. In our great percentage of business failures the employer of today becomes the em- ployee of tomorrow. The large bus mess houses are constant reminders of this, for in them we find many men who were once in business for themselves, but. failing to succeed, they were obliged to go back into the ranks and earn their living bv serving others. After all, this is not a one-sided question, as I hope to show in next weeks letter, and es- pecially do l hope it will he read by some of the young men who find so much I alt with the men who give them opportunity to earn their bread and butter, for they should learn that their nployers are euti- tied to some things, too. so long as
