The canvasser for cyclopedia came to the home of colonel, whose record he had carefully studied be- fore his visit The colonel was es. pecially proud of some of his sons so the canvasser began with:
 "Those are very fine boys of yours, colonel"
 "They are," replied the colonel.
 "I reckon you are ready to buy any, thing those boys want?"
 q am so," said the father of the fine boys.
 Well, then, let me sell you this cyclopedia. There's nothing will do your sons so much good"
 But the colonel looked at him aghast. "Why, them lads of mine don't need any cyclopedia. They ride muleSi"

INTERESTS ARE EQUAL.
Farmers Should Cooperate with Towns, people in Work of Municipal
 Improvement.

Among the many plans devised to further the interests of small towns and cities, and which has proved most successful, is the commercial clubs in which all business men of the commit nity cooperate for the common good. Organizations of this class are al most necessity in any town where harmony is desired among the differ ent business classes in the carrying out of plans for town improvement, securing the enterprises of various kinds and the general good of all in the community. There is no reason why these clubs in their membership should be confined to the residents of the town. The farmers in the neigh borhood are as deeply interested in the success of town enterprises as are the business men of the place, or at least they should be. For what will help along the town towards pros- perity will also help the farmer.
 In many localities there is a senti- ment that the interests of the farm CT and the business men are not par allel. It is necessary that this feel ing be obliterated as far as possible because there is no logical foundation for it. The better the town is the bet ter the local market for the farmers produce; the more equitable will be taxation and the better educational fa- cilities. All these are matters that concern the farmer in the immediate neighborhood of the town. Many business men feel that a membership in clubs organized for promotion of two industries should be confined to business men; that perhaps the farm CT would not be in accord with resi- dents of the town in matters of public improvements. This is an error, a lack of confidence in the good judg ment of the average farmer, who will generally realize how important the home town is to him, and all his neigh bors. Then the farmer sometimes thinks that he is not welcome in an as- sociation of business men, perhaps be- cause he has never been invited to take part in meetings held to discuss matters pertaining to town affairs. There is no good reason why these sentiments should exist. It is only by harmonious pulling together of the residents of the rural districts and the business men that the greatest good can be brought aDout for the home town.

Inspected State Capitol.

J. Massey Rhind, the sculptor of New York, who has done number of notable pieces of work in various cities of the country, was in Little Rock recently and inspected the new state capitol, with view to gaining an idea of what the building demands in the way of sculptural treatment. MT. Rhind was accompanied by Gil bank Twigg, who is closely associated with him in his work. MT. Rhind was much taken with the capitol as an architectural achievement, and was of the opinion that well-placed figures and groups in bronze and stone would add immeasurably to the edltlce, which he said should symbolize all that is best and most striking in Ar kansas.

Man Whose Memory Was Bad.

For more than an hour a witness for the defense had lodged questions. His faulty memory was particularly exasperating for the counsel for the plaintiff, who was seeking to recall to the witness recollection an event of four of five years previous. Event ually the man remembered some thing about it..
 s'Ah," continued the lawyer for the plaintiff, what dd you think of it at the time?"

ID. q o. CROSSING
City to Pass Ordinance Requiring
Gates at Crossing.

=
At the meeting of the Board of
Mayor aud Alderman last Tuesday
night the drafting of an ordinance
was discussed, with the approval
of the Board, ia answer to a petit
tion signed by 200 property holders
in Union City, asking tor relief
from danger at the crossing OF the
M. & o, railroad tracks and Main
street BY the establishment and
maintenance of gates by the rail-
road company at this crossing.
The petition was filed with the
Board over two months ago, and
the Mayor was instructed to COM
municate with officials of the M. g.
o. r. r. Co. relative to the cross
ing and means whereby the trouble
could be oviated. The company
replied that Mr.. Moore would meet
the Mayor at given time and con-
fer upon the subject. The time
passed by and Mr.. Moore did not
appear. The Mayor then notified
Mr.. Moore and the agent here, Mr..
Barnett, to meet the Board last
Tuesday night, also number Of
our citizens. The railroad officials
we're not present, but attorney for
petitioners, W. M. Miles. and a
number of citizens were present.
The subject was again discussed,
the Mayor stating that he had ex-
pected -the presence of representa-
tives Of the M. q O. r. r. Co. The
Mayor stated also that he had con-
'ferred with the City Attorney, and
the opinion OF that gentleman was
the city would have to establish tAe
fact that there was danger and i'm
minent danger Of life at the said
crossing. The Mayor was Of the
opinion that the absence Of any in
structions from the railroad COM
pany or the non-appearance Of its
agents was evidence that the COM
pany did not take kindly to the pc
tition. Mr. Walker felt also that
the Board should proceed cautious
" in the matter, that we should not
act rashly insofar as to incur the
disfavor OF the M; & O. Company.
The Mayor asked an expression
from the visitors. Mr.. Miles, attor-
ney. said that the question was
simply matter Of fact that the |
crossing here exposed as many peo- |
pie to danger as any crossing in his
knowledge in any city or at any
station. It is the principal thor
oughfare in the city and trains are
constantly moving both north and
south. In addition, the said cross
ing is right in the heart of the M
N u. switchyard ana that tra1nmen
we're not careful at the crossing.
Mr.. Miles recommended the pas
sage of an ordinance, fixing proper
penalty, requiring the M. & Q. r.
X. Co. to place gates at the cross
ing by stated time, and that such
gates are to be maintained by said
in order to give the relief
prayed for in the citizens petition.
w. G Reynolds thought the city
should proceed carefully.
Alderman Alexander favored the
of ordinance in compliance
With petition. He thought il, was
tor safety of our citizens.
Alderman Gardner favored pro-
ecting the citizens, but not acting
iastily in the matter.
