~AFTER.DlNNER ORAToRY.

Good after-dinner speaking has
become a lost art and poor after-din-
ner speaking a public nuisance. Per-
haps its successor will be paid yau-
deyille; perhaps a new race of ora
tors will grow up. Meanwhile, let
the orator who survives remember
that when a man has enjoyed a good
repast, while he has no objection to
being instructed and improved, he
wants primarily to be amused, and
even that very briefly. Perhaps he
should wish to hear an essay or an
cient anecdotes, but he doesn't, and
he who has naught but these to of
fer had better during the coming
season decline invitations to speak on
such occasions, in the interest of
suffering humanity.-NTinneapolis

NOT INAUGURATION.

Stockholders of both McBryde and
Makaweh plantations were interest
ed in a newspaper report of this morn
ing to the effect that the two estates
would likely be amalgamated. OF
course they knew nothing about such
a deal, or even that such had been
talked of. That McBryde stockhold-
ers would amalgamate is question
and a big one; but the idea of a pay
ng estate shouldering a plantation
which is heels over head in debt
well, that's funny There is an idea
of a water deal between Makaweli
and McBryde, contingent upon Alex
ander & Baldwin taking over the
agency; but that is as far as any
amalgamation proposition has gone
or well can go at this stage Of the
game.

Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it 70,
breakfast every day. This advice i.
coming from all sides as q result of re.
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-.
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet oil
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first Of all. 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
All grocers carry Quaker Oats. 1t

ROOT VISITS
 LITTLE ROCK
Former Secretary os State and Sena- tor-eIect From New York DeliV-
 CTS Two Speeches.

Time moved rapidly and events trod on each others heels during the few hours that the health-restored senator elect, Elihu Root, spent in Little Rock Thursday as the guest of the legisla- ture and the city of Little Rock. Af- ter trip about the city, he addressed the legislature and as many city res idents as could crowd into Represent tative Hall in the morning. Later he was entertained at a luncheon given by the representative citizens of Lit tie Rock at the Hotel Marion, and shortly before o'clock Thursday af- ternoon he returned to Hot Springs, where he is sojourning for the benefit of an injury which he received to his left knee during the recent national campaign.
 MT. Root appeared not the worn seeker after health, but again the alert, commanding statesman. He walked with erect figure and his whole appearance conveyed the inn pression of health and strength much in contrast to his appearance when he passed through Little Rock three weeks ago.
 Both addresses were marked by the direct, virile and striking utter ances which have characterized his public addresses since he first entered political life Neither address con tained anything of political nature and it seemed that the distinguished statesman guarded his remarks that they might not in any way verge upon the political situation of the immedi- ate past or of the present. He spoke enthusiastically of the firm bonds of unity which bind together all sections of the country and dwelt upon the de- pendence of one section upon another.

 The agreement which reads to the effect that the undersigned agree to divert all freight in and out bound pos sible to the railroad giving Helena the best outbound lumber rate was circulated among the merchants and shippers and very freely signed. It is also understood that a committee will wait upon the officials of the Iron Mountain railroad protesting against the increased rate.

Surveying Hot Springs Line.

Hot Springs Reports reaching here indicate that surveyors of the Hot Springs, Ouachita and Mena Rail- road are approaching this city with their lines. This railroad, which has just taken over the rights of the Mena and Eastern Arkansas road, is ex- pected to be operating between this city and Mena during the present year. A western outlet has been wanted for this territory for years, the Rock Island and the Iron Noun tain terminating their lines from the east here. The proposed route gives Hot Springs position on a line from Memphis to Kansas City, and opens up hundreds of square miles of virgin timber and minerals.
