There Is essentially no difference be-
tween the Pennsylvania railroad chief
clerk who gathered in thousands Of
dollars from coal companies as tip or
price for steering the railroad com
pany's orders In their direction and
the coachman who pockets an occasion
al dollar in the placing of orders for
oats or the steward who profits In buy
Ing meats and other table requirements.
And no better than this chief clerk are
those higher Pennsylvania officials who
accepted gifts of stock in various COM
panies and then favored them In the
distribution Of cars. They are all Of
the purchasable class, which Is hardly
more contemplate In the dollar-tip
grade than the $1,OO0-tip grade.

this manner that he disposed of his un-
occupied evening.

break the silence. He watched the are
burn while he spoke.

ly, got leave from the Admiralty yeti"

confidently. Grace evidently anticipated
no difficulty.

RENTS PAYS FOR LANDS,
SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST,
WHERE LANDS SELLS FOR Sis AND
RENTS FOR S5 PER ACRE.

One of the remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and
Northern Louisiana is the fact
that cleared land rents for IS per
acre cash. and can be bought for
81 to SIS per acre. It costs
from Sc TO $40 per acre to clear it.
Other improvements necessary
are slight and inexpensive.
The soil Is rich alluvial, or
made. 1t produces bale of cot.
ton per acre. worth S45 to 500.
This accounts for its high rental
value. Other crops, such corn,
small grain, grasses, vegetables
and fruit thrive SO well.
Alfalfa yields 4 to 6 cuttings,
a tun to cutting, and bril- rs $40
to SO per ton.
In other sections Of these
states, and in Texas as we'll, The
rolling Of hill-land is especially
adapted to stock raising and fruit
growing. Land is very cheap,
50 to $40 per acre; improved
farms SO, SIS to S25 per acre.
The new White River country
offers many opportunities for
settlers. High. rolling, fine
water-lt is naturally adapted to
stock aud fruit raising. Can be
bought as low us s. per acre.
