TOUGH ON VEGETABLE MEN.
Ten of Them Arrested for Violating
 City Ordinance.

Officer Culpepper, of the Pine Bluff police force, has broke the record, in making ten arrests in one day.
 This is an unusual happening in the quiet town of Pine Bluff, but it was done and there wasn't any riot to cause it either. All of the men arrested gave bonds and promised to appear in the police court at thIs afternoons session, to which time their bearings were stponed
 All of the arrested were vegetable peddlers ano the cause of their sud : den arrest was their not having the necessary city license, which is $5 per month.
 A soon as the other peddlers, that is, those who were not arrest ed. heard of the arrests they crowd ed to police headquarters aud got the license.
 Why tnis matter is just being dis covered is not known, for it looks reasonable that the officers should have known of these violators be fore.

The Kansas City Star tells this story about
the late Simeon B. Armour of that city, the
eldest of the Armour brothers: "One of the
strictest rules of the packing house was
and is that nobody may smoke on the
premises. Mr.. Armour was the only one
who broke this rule. Every one about the
plant understood that Mr.. Armour and no
one else might smoke. One day, when
Mr.. Armour was making the rounds of the
packing house with a lighted cigar in his
mouth, he went through the smokehduse
and met there a new watchman, who did
not know him. This watchman was an
Irishman, who had been trained in discipline
He saw the man with the cigar; he did
not know him and he went up to him and
with an oath said fiercely: Put out that
cigar. Don't you know better than to smoke
In here?" Mr. Armour, in his quiet, slow,
methodical way, without saying word, put
the cigar carefully on the floor and ground
the fire out with the sole of his shoe. Then
he went to the office and said very plead
ingly to Superintendent Tourtelot: George,
| wish you would instruct the men to allow
me TO smoke in the building l have to
be in here great deal. / must smoke and
you can depend on it l will be careful and
not set fire to anything Mr. Tourtellot
/ was indignant and wished to discharge the
| watchman, but Mr. Armour said the man
/ must be retained by all means, because he
/ was a good watchman."

Senator-el William A. Clark of Mon
prudent man. This is illustrated in the
method he adopts of crossing the Atlantic
with his family. For the protection of his
princely fortune and the prevention of legal
entanglements, to secure the succession
properly of his millions and to guard
against the possible loss by shipwreck of
more than one member of his family, the
senator decided that only one Clark should
cross on the same vessel Four members
of the family of the Montana man have set
sail for Europe within the month. Every
one travelled on different ship. This
avoidance of the risk of an entire family
perishing at the same time is also said to
be observed by the Rothschids, while the
late Jesse Seligman and his brother, the
bankers of this city, never rode together on
the same elevated train. The record of
sailing shows that Miss K. Clark, the nil
lionaire's daughter, with her maid, had the
captains room on the North German-Lloyd
| liner, Trave, which sailed from New York
for Southampton and Bremen on March Z.
| G. w. Clark, the senator's son, and his wife
sailed on the st. Paul March 15. The SEN
ator himself sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse for Southampton and Bremen on
March II. Mrs. Culver, another daughter
