drm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name of the firm he could not learn,
though he was most anxious to ascer-
tain whether it was the one with which
he did most Of his business In that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling. but instead he went to the
man, we'll known banker, who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
That's very delicate thing to d."
replied the banker. "for the news is
not official, and If gave you the name
might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued. but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
Il will give you." he said, "a list of
ten firms In Yokohama, and will ask
you to look through 1t and then to tell
me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
WRlch mas failed appears In 1t. Surely
you will do that for me?"
EYES," said the banker, "for IL do
not mention any name cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made. The banker
looked through 1t and as he handed it
back to the merchant said, 1.-THE name
Of the firm which. has failed is there"
"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, 'for that is the firm with
which l did business" showing him a
name on the List.
"Hut how do you know that is the
firm which has failed?" asked the
banker in surprise.
very easily" replied the merchant.
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine, that of the firm with which
did business. All the others are acti-
hous."

Gold Only For Royalty.

1t is a notable fact that in Abyssinia
none but those who are related to the
monarch is permitted to wear gold in
any form. They may deck themselves
with diamonds and other precious
stones, but the jewels must not be set
in gold. The penalty for infringement
of this law is death by decapitation.

TO ColOnize the Southwest.

Last Sundays St. Louis Post Dispatch contained the following bit of news which may materially enhance the interests of this sec- ton during the coming few months:
 A concerted plan to colonize the great Southwest is be- ing actively projected by the Frisco, Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, M. K. & T., Cotton Belt, Rock Island and Santa Fe railway systems, and representa- tives of each will be present at a meeting to be held in this city in few days, when the details of the project are to be arranged.
 When the arrangements are completed, it is said, hundreds of thousands of homeseekers will pour into the great Southwest tapped by these railway systems, and it is anticipated that to pro- mote the colonization scheme one fare for the round trip, or even one cent a mile, will be proffered.
 Bryan Snyder, passenger traffic manager of the Frisco, fathered the present project and began, three years ago, to inter- est representatives of other rail- ways in the movement.
 The Santa Fe and Rock Island were the first to be enlisted, as they are said to have recognized that it was more to their interest to colonize the Southwest with it's rich mineral and agricultural fields than the Northwest.
 Mr. Snyder returned Friday from the east, where he has been in conference with high officials of the various systems named.
 Concerning the colonization project, he said among other things:
 "This meeting to be held in St. Louis is expected to turn the trend of immigration from the Northwest and Pacific coast to the great Southwest, of which St. Louis is the natural gateway.
 "An effort will also be made to influence traffic through this gateway from the central and southern portions of Europe" :"
 Should the other roads not par ticipate in the plan broached, MT Snyder says that the Frisco will unaided, offer the lowest possible rates to draw the homeseekers Of the world to Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-09-20

have hitherto been shut off from the world on account of the lack of transportation should appre- ciate the fact the railroad has not come to them to take what they have, but intends to help them to build up and develop the un- bounded resoursces of the coun- try, that it can only prosper upon the prosperity of the people, and that it's coming is in every sense a great blessing.
 The railroad company is inau- gurating rates from St. Joe that will enable anything that is pro- duced in that country to be shipped out with much profit. For instance, the price offered for shipping cotton to St. Louis from St. Joe is only S1.S5 per bale, remarkably low rate.
 The depot at St. Joe is going up rapidly and will probably be finished in a week; from which point Mr. Littleton, the depot builder, will go to Buffalo, seven miles farther on the line, to erect another. Itis expected that no time will be lost in opening the road on to Buffalo, where the terminus will be, for sometime.
 It will yet be several months before the thriving town of Marshall is reached.
