 Miss Helen Tompkins has con- trlputeu many strong stories to the pages of the Blue Book Maga- zine, Jut she has never given our readers one which is so full Of tens .itua tons and which will arouse the sympathies for the chief characters as this romance of love. entangled in a maze of difficulties.
 The plot does not clear up until the last page, and then with the rush and roar of an abstracted stream, that once more finds it's true channel, all difficulties are awept away, the sun shines again, and every thing is as peaceful as before"

Business Improvement

Considering the fact that the dog days are in their element and Old Sol is making everybody in this part of the world thorough ly acquainted With a hot time. bus mess along all lines in Prescott is holding up well. Building work in particular is causing retail lum- Der men to rejoice. Farmers are doing a great deal of building this fall and the indications continue to. be good for prosperous year.
 There is much building work under way and more being plan ned throughout the state that ef- ficient building contractors are in demand. A report from the Lit tie Rock Board of Trade states that a number of inquiries have been received there for contract OTIS from several towns. A num- Der of the leading papers of the state have contained advertise ments for contractors and carpen- ters lately, state of affairs that has not existed for many years.
 The opportunities and desirable locations to carry on extensive and profitable lumber operations in Arkansas are becoming more and more appreciated as time goes on, both in and outside of the state. One of the latest dem- onstrations of this fact is the new firm just esta blished at Edge mont, in Clebourne county, O'Ban- non & Company, firm that has been located in Coldwater, Mo-, for number of years, has pur- chased several thousand acres of timber in the vicinity of Edge mont and is located permanently there. A report from Batesville states that the company has some of the finest mules ever seen in this part of the state. The com
 ny has taken advantage of the
 oortunity to settle in this ter ory which is just being opened up by the Missouri and North Ark ansas railroad. Many industries
 are rapidly being started in the country through which the new road runs, but the lumbermen are 'blazing thel trail

CHOOSING A CHRISTMAS PRESENT

When you make present of a peri
odical to friend or family you are
really selecting companion to inhu-
ence them for good or i'll during n
whole year. If the acquaintances OF
your sons and daughters were to talk
to them aloud as some periodicals talk
to them silently, how quickly you
would forbid the companionship! In
the one case as in the other, the best
course is to supplant the injurious with
something equally as attractive and at
the same time worth while" A food
can be wholesome and utterly distaste-
full. Reading can be made so, too. But
The Youths Companion not only nour-
ishes the mind, but delights it, just
like that ideal human associate whom
you would choose. The Youths Com
panion fills that place now in more
than half a million homes. Can you
not think of another family in which it
is not now known where it would lie
joyfully welcomed?
