THE TRIBUNE reported last week the presence of a gentleman in Green Forest, representing the American Building and Loan Association of Little Rock, who desired to establish a branch of that concern at this place. The agent succeeded in interesting enough parties in his scheme to establish what he called a ''local board" and the crowd met at Harbert's drug store Thursday night for the purpose of Organiz- ing, but the whole thing collapsed in short order when the proposed stock takers demanded thatnoth- ing be paid on their shares until the good faith of the Association was demonstrated by making the desired loans. This, the gentle man from Little Rock declared, was entirely out of the company's manner of transacting business, that unless stock payment was made at once no further steps could be taken, and there the matter was dropped. The agent declared that it was the intention of his Association to Go 8 regular building and loan business in Green Forest, but our people have been caught st least once too often by silvery promises of this kind. The same sort of local boards have been established here before and several parties have not forgotten the amount the experiment cost them. No loans could be secured and as that was the object of the parties going into the Association, they let their stock lapse and were benefited only by the experience.
 A building and loan association is a good thing for people who have not the means to build homes and business houses, and it would certainly be a good thing if one or more were in operation in Green Forest, but in view of past experiences, it will be 8 hard thing to convince the people of this town that an association is acting in good faith when they | propose to come in here with loans, by simple promises from
 irresponsible agents,

"Man born in America is full of gas, hath plenty of gall and is some pumpkins from his youth up," says an exchange. ''His brain is too tender for the harsh advice of his father, and his soul is too tough for the gentle pray CTS of his mother. He smoketh cigarettes on the corners and cusseth in the streets, and yelleth like a yeaho. He toileth not, neither doth he spin, yet Solo, mon in all his glory had no such cheek as one of these. He walk eth among the children of men that they might know that he am him from away back, but finds later that they are too dull to credit the. fact. He inheriteth politics and religion in great plenty, and troubleth not himself with the weary work of reason. He goeth forth on a bycicle and returneth in a wheel barrow. And when the unclean spirit is gone out of that kid, he walketh in dry places hunting job and hath the headache. He sayeth to himself, I will return to the house from whence 1 came. Returning he findeth the boys all there, he drinketh seven times more than the first, and the lat ter career of that kid is hard citizen. ''

think it will recommend a reduc- ton of the army force, but we have no assurance that it will be done. A candid review of the situation leads meto the conclu- sion sometimes that it will be 8 long time before the United States will be able to govern this country except by force. It will surely take some years to get a government established that will be respected by the natives.
 'tFrom Manila papers l notice that there is quite 8 bit of fight ing going on throughout the is- lands. Numerous attacks are being made upon garrisons where there. are but few soldiers sta- toned. Our officers have been feeling uneasy of late, having re- ceived information to the effect that this place was going to be attacked in the near future. As yet nothing suspicious has oc- cured. We may be bothered more, or less through the. rainy season. Our quarters are located near the bank of the Chico river, and when the stream swells past fording it is reasonable to suppose that the Goo Coos will secrete themselves in the bamboos and take shots at us, our retreat be- ing cut off by the river. Other garrisons located like this one have had experiences of this kind. Our major says if any trouble begins to develop he will have 8 small detachment of artillery To- cated here, which will enable us to route them.
 ''I have not received many TRIBUNEs in the past three months, haven't seen one of my letters published in a long time. Have received only two papers since the new dress was put on. The paper looks much improved.
 'As soon as 1 can get some stamps l will send you 8 box of Manila cigars. think l will be able to get some in q few days, as there is talk hof establishing a +post office here. There hasn't Js~a0 a dozen stamps in the com pany since we have been here.
 "Your delay in writing causes me lots of worry, for I am always disappointed beyond limit when the mail comes and there is noth- ing for me. Now, please don't fail to write often. It is the great est favor you can confer upon me"

Drugged and Robbed.

William Dyer was an early caller at THE TRIBUNE office Mon- day morning. He was hunting 8 paper that contained the particu- lars of a robbery which he claimed took place in Eureka Springs on w ednesday of last week.
 Mir. Dyer said he had gone up to the Springs to take the train to visit his brother at Ozark, Mo. While tarrying in the city of much water and lots of booze he fell in with a certain Irishman, with whom he exchanged drinks and started in for a good time. When it came time to go to the depot to take his train on his prospective visit, his friend, the Irishman, volunteered his company and contributed a bottle of soothing syrup to keep them alive on the way down.
 The next thing Mr. Dyer knew he didn't know anything, and he awoke several hours after the train had gone to find himself minus all his cash, about $50, and feeling just like he imagined a fellow would feel who had been drugged and robbed.
 MT. Dyer claimed that the whiskey his good Irish friend had so freely drenched him with con- tained poison and he is now quite certain that it was his money the accommodating fellow wanted from the start.
 An effort was made by Mir. Dyer and the police to apprehend the sporting Irishman who had proven himself So unworthy of the confidence of an unsuspect- ing farmer, but Mr. Irishman wouldn't be anywhere they looked. So, half sick, tired out and busted, Mir. Dyer took up his journey homeward in the good old-fashioned style-a-foot. Dr. Harbert staled the gentleman to breakfast in Green Forest, and he was given an open road to Harri- son, feeling poorer but much wiser than when he passed through, first of last week, with a pocket full Of change, antici- pating a pleasant visit with his brother up north.

A Carrollton widower with four children writes to the editor of the Eureka Times Echo that he wants to get married and would like to correspond with some eligible lady to that end. He says: "I would rather have female that can milk, and furnish butter as well. I have seven COWS; five of them are tolerably easy to milk" It would be hard to find lady suitable for man of such senti- mental turn as this one. He should be satisfied with his COWS.

A distinction and a difference. Our
Shirt Waists are distinctly different from
shirt waists as you commonly meet
them-a trifle finer, a little neater, a
slight difference in the form, sleeves hang
little better, collar fits little better
all OF these differences are in our favor,
each trifle in itself, makes a big diff
ference in the waist, however. You will
admit it when you see our waists.
