THE NUBIAN WINS AGAIN
Mena's Representative at the State Fair Takes His Second Race
 One, Two, Three.

The Nubian, J. A. Thornton's horse, won his second race Satur- day at the State Fair at Hot Springs in the same style as his first trial last Thursday, in straight heats, against four op- ponents. The time of the heats, PAS Is, 2;49 and 2:37, would seem to indicate that it was q mere loafng match for the Nu- ban, and that C. Davis, the driver, just ''let out a few links in the last heat for the amuse- ment of the thing.

A letter has been received from an authoritative source stating that the executive board of the Business Mems League of Hot Springs has agreed to give Sl00,- 900 for a road, and that the pro posed connection with Mena and McAlester would be the 6rst choice.

READ THIS TO YOUR SON.

MAI HIS AZ AOCAN N1OEss
In fifteen years Frank A Vanderlip
climbed up from farmers boy to the
presidency of the largest bank in the
United States-the National City bank
Of New York city.
How did he get up?
Let US see.
Vanderbilt was born on a farm near
Aurora, Ill. He was graduated in the
common schools and went into a ma
chine shop. Later he attended col
lege, paying his expenses by working
in the same machine shop.
He went to Chicago and began re-
porting on a daily newspaper From
the beginning 1t was noted that he
was accurate, steady and painstakjng
He never deceived his city editor nor
the people whom he interviewed.
Very soon it came to be known that
Vanderlip was an exceedingly well
informed reporter. Instead of shak-
ing dice or playing the races or trying
to get into society he read books on
finance and economics.
Vanderlip was known in the Office
as a shark on finances and markets.
He was made financial reporter for
his daily, and La Sale street had to
buy that paper to get the financial
news. Ee continued to study and
read. Thrown into contact with lead
ing men, he learned much.
1t was known in the offices and
trust companies and banks that Van
derlip could be trusted.
Finally he became the associate ed
itor of the Chicago Economist. All
on Vanderlip. When the latter was
made secretary of the treasury he took
the young editor along as private sec
rotary. A few months later the Sec
rotary was promoted to assistant
treasurer
Vanderlip resigned in 1901 to be-
come third vice president of the bank
dent.
Just fifteen years ago he was a re-
porter.
How did he get up?
Not by brilliancy. Not by social
prominence. Not by political pull
Vanderlip was plodder. While 9th
ers slept be toiled. He was accurate
in his knowledge, careful Of his hab
its. persistent in his pursuit Of things.
He was a plodder, and he chose the
right path.
Other reporters had the same or q
better chance, but they did not choose
the right path. Their paths led tt
fun" or self satisfaction, or socia
prominence, to the saloon and the
gambling dive.
Vanderlip chose the right path anC
plodded right along
There is no other way, young man.

They were talking Of the strange
sights to be seen in great city, and
one man paid his tribute to New York.
I don't believe one Of you could think
of any combination of circumstances
that hasn't at some time occurred on
the streets there" he said.
7 reckon I know Of one that's never
occurred there" said Hiram Fowle
What's that" asked the other, curl

ACCORDING TO reports from
Washington, D. D., the administration
intends to make Charles B. Lands,
governor Of Porto Rico We trust
that President Taft does not feel it
necessary to see that all the Landises
are supplied with Federal positions
That is to speak more plainly, we
hope that the President does not feel
he simply has to find Charley a job
or else lose the sympathy of the peo-
pie of this nation Mr. Lands is a
good fellow, but people are rather
bored to see too many Landises push
ing up against the pie-counter.

That disgracefuI affair called
smoker is a shock to the wives and
daughters OF the Woodmen. a lodge
that looks for the most respectful mem
bers. would not allow such a thing. My
husband told US at home the jokes OF
Clyde Eastman were such that were too
low and disgusting to repeat. A man
who would get up before 300 or 400 men
and give such low vulgar jokes. I con-
slider lower even than the poor wretch
who gave the low dance That was
not what the Woodmen members ex-
pected when they sold and bought

condemned for a few who revel in lust
and filth. Please publish this,

INTERURBANs ARE RIVALS.
The rivalry between the Chicago,
Lake Shore & South Bend Railway com
pany and the Chicago. South Bend &
Northern Indiana railroad will prob
ably prevent these lines from entering
into traffic arrangement by which
through cars can be run from Chicago
to Indianapolis when the gap between
Peru and Warsaw is closed by the Win
ona line. Such service as will be Of
fered to patrons of the trolley COM
panies will be given by the roads in
dependent of each other This, how
ever. will not offer any serious disad
vantage for the reason that passengers
can board cars at Indianapolis and
come direct to South Bend. and chang
ing at that point. can reach the South
Shore cars by walking less than a
block. The rivalry between the two
lines is caused by the fact that both
companies run from South Bend to
Michigan City, although by different
routes.
IMMIGRANT RUSH ON.
The annual rush of business in i'm
migrant travel over the Nickel Plate
road is on again, as was shown last
week when upward of 1000 immigrants
passed through Bellevue over that line.
These immigrants were en- route to
| tributary points in the west, and were
carried on two special trains and ex-
ira cars attached to the regular train.
| AUDUBON SOCIETY MEETS.
The twelfth annual meeting of the
Indiana Audubon society came to a
church in Newcastle Saturday night.
The blizzard weather during the after
noon prevented the visitors from seeing
| the city in automobiles as had been
planned, but they visited the green
house and were greatly interested and
surprised in what they saw
SUNDAY GIVES THE WORD.

work was begun within thirty minutes

vivals. Winona is busy with its finances
for the coming season. It is paying
for one trolley line and is building an
other, and the building of a new audi
