the excavation for the Walsh fiat
building at Fourth and Ripley streets.
The tramps were herded to the pace
and shown the work at which they
could have employment at regular day
wages. They had barely been given
the work, however, before they began
TO make all sorts of excuses. Even the
sight of work appeared TO completely
upset them. After recovering from the
temporary shock of paralysis they sus-
tanned at the sight of the work offered
them, the tramps are reported to have
taken to their heels and TO make them
selves scarce. In case any of the same
men again apply at the police station
for lodging and meals they will be put
to work on the stone pile.

STRIKE EFFECT REACHES FAR
Merchants Urged to Place Orders at
Once With Chicago Houses.


The transfers strike in Chicago,
which began few days ago with a
grievance against one firm, now threat
ems to spread to a general one, involv-
ing the entire teaming industry of the
city before the end of the present
week
This strike may be far-reaching in
it's effects. and local merchants have
become greatly interested in the out
come, or rather the settlement of the
trouble.
Chicago houses have taken the trou-
BILE to warn outside dealers of the con-
dition of affairs and are urging the
merchants everywhere to order goods
before any more serious complications
arise. as the following will illustrate:
To Our Trade: The strike of the
teamsters in Chicago, which began
with a single firm, bids fair TO involve
the entire teaming industry of the city
before the week is out.
We shall serve our customers with
the utmost fidelity as long as we can
land that is as long as anyone), but
we urge, in view of the conditions now
and threatened, that you send us your
orders at once, as we cannot tell how
long we shall have the use of our
teams.

Advertising.

The advertising columns of the Gazette show that
Little Rock has business men who understand how
to advertise judiciously, scientifically and in way
to get results-to sell their goods.
At the fifth annual convention Of the Arkansas
Retail Grocers and Merchants Associations in ses-
sion at Fort Smith, President Kramer made an ad-
dress on advertising. in which he declared that the
only Legitimate advertising is through newspapers,
and that the time is coming when trading stamps,
premiums and other schemes will be done away
with, and merchants will appreciate the value of
newspaper advertising.
Mr.. Kramer is a retail grocer, and having had
practical experience, is competent to speak on the
important matter of advertising. -bhansos Gazette.

In Memoriam.

Little Ida Loucile, infant daughter of
Robt. E. and Lille Matlock, was born
November IA, 1904, and departed this
life January Z, 1905, aged 2 months and
"a days.
Little Loucile lived just long enough
to Irvine her baby fingers around papa's
and mammals hearts - one Of Gods
angels destined to make home more
cheerful for little while. But He, in
His infinite wisdom, saw fit to take her
back, and we can only submit to His
will, knowing that He doeth all things
we'll.
This lovely bud, SO young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came 70 show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
Ere sin harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And babe it blossom there.

Opportunity and Success.

The men who win promotion not the accidents
of fortune, except SO far as opportunity has come
t. them; they are the men who ready to take
a higher place, whose services in minor positions
proved that they could be trusted with higher re-
sponsbites. That's the one thing about the future
of which may be sure. We caunot tell what is
in store for u.s. but be sure that if we merit
promotion and if the opportunity should present
itself we shall be advanced. We cannot make the
opportunity, but fit ourselves to take advan
tage of it if it should present itself. The best
preparation for the future is be found in the pres
ent. Let US make sure that we now doing our full
duty, that we preparing minds for something
higher and we safely leave the future to its
development. Few men know at the age of Fl
what their lifework is to be; their technical
training may be cast aside in after years. but they
can be quite sure of honorable occupation and fair
recompense if they have learned the simple lesson
to do faithfully whatever duty calls upon them to
perform. To some extent they must leave their
future to chance but not in the matter of readiness
t. take whatever chance may offer them. In that
respect at least they have control their own
destiny
