attack an enemy by night, on account Of
it's cowardice. but upon an occasion
they broke this rule. On they crept,

by the cry, the Scotch fell upon the
party and defeated them with fearful
slaughter. Ever since the thistle has
been adopted as the emblem of Scot

LET'S EMULATE CHICAGO.

The great secret of the success Ot Chicago, whose growth and wealth have been phenomenal, has been her encouragement of railroad develop ment. When the city was compara- lively small, its people realized the necessity of making it great railroad center. They were not content to al- low their city to sleep upon the banks of the beautiful lake, but they want ed her to wake to that greatness and power for which she was born and which she might achieve if she would. They said, we must have great city in itself, but this is not all. The life blood of her enterprise and vigor and strength must flow through he chan nels which would connect her with other states, and other communities. and other markets This thought dominating her growth has crowned her at last as the prodigy Of the cen tury. How about the cities of Ark ansas, and how about the State itself? Is there any such aspiration among our people. or k 1t the desire that the State and it's communities shall sleep while other states and other communities are moving on to great achievement and Wondrous growth.
 No state can succeed without de velopment by railroads, and this de yelopment cannot exist when invest ed capital is met at our doors by the scowl of hatred and the blow of ia naticism. and NeWaut the sunshine of q new and better era.
