enters and noticing Everyman's grief asks its
cause, vowing his readiness to die for him.
But when he hears his friends request he
flatly refuses to 60 foot with him. Appeals

Good Railroad News.

The railroad grading and other work from Ola to Dardanelle is being pushed by over two hundred men, and the road will be completed and the first train will run from Ola to Dardanelle November 1. The railroad work has caused property and farm land near Ola to advance materially in price. A great deal of immigration is coming to that section of Yell coun- ty. The Arkansas Central from Ola to Hot Springs has been graded for the first ten miles and the steel laid for two miles, and trains are going to and from the dump" hauling new rails and provisions for the men. The sur vey is being made to Waldron, Scott county, a distance of 65 miles. The right of way to Hot Springs has been secured, and the road cut out for 25 miles. Over 300 men have been se- cured from Kansas to push the work on the Arkansas Central from Ola to Hot Springs and Waldron.

Fourth-cIass Postmasters to Meet.

Fourth-Class Postmasters to Meet.
 A call has been issued for a meeting of the Arkansas State League of Fourth-Class Postmasters to be held at the Lincoln Club rooms in Little Rock, August 27. It has been announced that this meeting had been called for the transaction of any business that may come up, including the election of off, cers and the election of delegate to the national convention, which will be held in Chicago in September. An drew l.. Treece, secretary and treas urer of the organization, has issued an appeal to all fourthclass postmas- ters to show more interest in the work of the association. He declares that unless greater interest is shown it will be necessary to discontinue the work, as the treasury is empty and the or gNnization is in debt He announces, however, that if as many as 25 post masters will notify him that they will be present at the convention, he will be present to meet them. He cites the fact that more than half of the fourth-class postmasters are Demo- crats to show that the postmasters need not fear to take part in the work of the organization for political req sons. He also states that the depart ment officials are encouraging the or ganization by attending conventions and making enthusiastic speeches, showing that there can be no opposition to the efforts of the postmastC&5 to maintain an organization.

The Postal Business,

The postal business of a country, especially our own, is fair indica' ton of general prosperity or the re- verse. Some figures made public by the post office department are of par ticular interest as bearing upon this the basis on which post office salaries are adjusted at the beginning of a new fiscal year, and it is seen that the people as whole were never more prosperous. The first, second and third class offices, which are in cluded in this arrangement, number 5,651, and of these the revenues of 2,670, or 47 Eer cent, justify increases which range from s100 to S120 per year, while in only 309 offices has there been a decrease in receipts. That is, this year there has been a net increase in 42 per cent. of the offices. Last year the gross increase was 33 per cent. and the net increase 24 per cent. TRe aggregate increase in salaries in offices of the classes mentioned was $330, 100, while in ad- dition there was an increase of $65,- POO in offices raised to the presi- dential class, an aggregate of S295,- 300 increase, offset by only $37, 100 decrease. The prosperity indicated by the figures is fairly well distrib- uted, says the Troy Times. but it is west get little larger share pro. portionately than some other regions
 That is in keeping with the story of the development of those sections.

Asks Aid of White Union.

The Grand State Colored Farmers Progressive Union, which held it's an nual session in Little Rock, Aug. IT, it's regret that the Farmers Union. at it's recent session, voted to have noth- ing to do with the negro Farmers Union. The Executive Committee presented a report in which it was stated that it had been hoped that there might be some work upon which the two organizations could get together and act in concert. It was declared that the negro union represents a great body of farmers who want the assistance of the white union farmers. The report suggested that the County Executive Committees of the ne4o union try to arrange in their respec- tive counties to have their cotton placed where it can be handled and sold at the same time and to the same buyers who buy the cotton of the white farmers, and at the same price. There were about 75 delegates at the con- vention, representing 19 counties.

Redeemed by Women.

Russell Sage was an intimate The two men had much in common, though there were striking differ ences. Gould, dying comparatively young, left his fortune to his family, and one of his children, woman alone in the world in the sense that she never married, began at once to redeem the name of Gould from the taint of avarice. Sage, at the end Of long life, has given all he pos sessed to his widow, and she, in her old age, is confidently expected to emulate and surpass the charities and philanthropies of Helen Gould. Probably Mrs. Sage will do all that is expected of her, says the Cleveland Leader. She has long been admired for her piety and kindness Of heart, and her interest in all that makes for the uplifting of the poor and unfor' tunate. She is a good woman, in the highest sense of that term. All that has been said and felt regarding Rus sell Sage's indifference to interests outside of and above business and money-getting will doubtless accentu- ate his widows desire 10 brighten his name. She will wish to grace his memory by great services to hu- manity, rendered by means of his wealth. She can be trusted to re- deem him, in so far as she may be able to do so, from the unfriendly criticism excited by his absorption in the accumulation of riches. It is an old story. The history of nations is full of striking instances of the efforts of women to atone for the CT TOTS or shortcomings of men near and dear to them. They have redeemed multitude of men while living, and frightened and frightened the mem
 ory of many more after death.

SALLOW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that cof- fee so disturbs digestion that it pro- duces muddy, yellow complexion?
 A ten days trial of Postum Food Coffee has proven means, in thou sands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions.

 We were all sallow and troubled with pimples, breath bad, disagree able taste in the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves.
 we didn't realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to bor- row some from a neighbor She gave us some Postum and told us to try that.
 Although we started to make it.. we all felt sure we would be sick if we missed our strong coffee, but we "OiO ioiSOu lo liy ooIuul duu WoiS surprised to find it delicious.

Keep It Before the People.

The strong and earnest support given Amendment No. by a resolu- tion unanimously passed by the Farmers Union. at it's convention in Little Rock shows the healthful trend of public opinion on the all important subject embraced in that amendment It has been plainly shown by State Superintendent of Public Instruction John H. Hinemon, in his unselfish tour of the state in the interest of the proposed amend ment to our state constitution, that it's passage into fundamental law will not, cannot, increase taxation, but only gives those directly interested the power to tax themselves for the purpose of popular education. This true status has been so plainly estab- lished that even he who runs may read and the result is the people Of the state, and especially those most vitally interested, the country citi- zenship, are fully awakened to the importance of the matter and will cast their votes in favor of progress sive popular education at the coming election. The Farmers Union, repre- senting the bone and sinew of the land, and the fact that it has emphat- ically endorsed the measure speaks volumes in favor of the enlightened forces of the toiling masses of the commonwealth. The fact is, what is called the common people" have al ways been actuated by the principles of common sense; all they ever want or ask, is to have a subject clearly and plainly defined to them, in order that they may act promptly, intelli- gently, and wholly without prejudice. The Farmers Union, speaking ill their behalf, has declared in favor of Amendment No. s. and it will carry at the September election. And it is only fair to state that through the modest though strenuous and constant labors of Supt. Hinemon in making plain exposition of the matter, the prospective success of that amendment shall be in no small part due.

Our present thoroughbred is a liv. ing witness of the Arabs capability as founder and creator of racers Himself a natural racer, bred through centuries for running rather than draft, bred also for speed and stay. the Arab possesses every gift and qualification, courage, docility, tenn per, endurance, action, determination If he cannot go with the fliers of the course, bred and trained solely fo! speed, neither can he be called slow He has run two miles, with derby weight up, in three minutes and 4S seconds, yet on the course he keeps nearly to his normal speed. Long or short, His race is run true from end to end; moreover, so excellent are his temper and constitution that he stands training for years and years and has been known to win races in his teens. In the point of endurance. says Country Life in America. nc other horse is worthy to be ns-ned with him. Under the trying Indian sun, the two little Arabs, Honey suckle and Greyleg, were matched for two-mile heats, best three in five. It took seven heats to decide the match, and three of them were dead heats. Fancy such questions being asked of our thoroughbreds-even the best.
