case by any means, however, for Lillian
Windler was, If possible, more ambi-
tious than Lillian Watson had been.
Having provided herself with the right
sort of husband, the pretty little ma
iron was now determined to become
somebody. This appears to be the
craving of the great army of nobodies.
At the very beginning Of her social
campaign Mrs. Marsden Windler en-
countered rampant of obstacles, deli
cately intangible but tragically effec
tive.
Marsden, as single man, with his
undoubted good looks and interesting
semi-invalidism, had certainly been
sought after by the right sort of wo-
of devotion where it was worth while
not to be a snob, and he said so little
that people thought he knew much.
AS a man married to little woman
Of no Importance, Mr. Windler proved
to be no longer interesting to the fair
sex, and men had never cared for him.
Il thought you and Mrs. Charley
French used to be such good friends"
his wife said discontentedly one day at
the Country club, after that popula,
young matron had passed them by
with a cool little nod and a slight stare
at the bride.
I'VE used to run about together con-
siderably," Marsden returned, his air
of boredom deepening
With him ennui had become fixed
state. Had the young man voiced his
ideas on the subject he would probably
have pronounced the verdict that mat.
rimony meant financial ease and much
WEAKNESS of spirit.

you now" complained Lillian. You
have more money than ever before"
Marsden continued to stare out over
the golf links. 1T is not me they are
dropping" he said insolently. 1T is

His wife flushed furiously.

 The desk upon which the decIara. tion was drafted is i'll the library of the state department at Washington It was exhibited at Buffalo in the Pan American exposition in 1901.
 The final debate m congress. in the committee of the whole. upon the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- pendenee began at nine o'clock on Monday, July l. On that day Pennsyl- vania seven of whose delegates were present, voted against adoption. The vote of Delaware. having two dele gates present, was divided
 Thereupon McKean of Delaware. who had voted afirmatively. wrote d frantic letter to the absent Delaware delegate, Caesar Rodney. imploring him To come and cast his vote, and thus turn the scale for Delaware. for 1t was highly probable that if Dela- ware supported the declaration Penn. sylvania would follow suit.
 Rodney at the time was so miles away. at Dover, at one or the other of his farms, Byfeld and Poplar Grove He suffered tortures from the cancer. which, starting on his nose had spread all over one side of his face, 90 that he had to wear a green silk shield to hide the disagreement; 1t was of this chronic afiiiction that he died. A con. temporary chronicle describes him as 'an animated skeleton--indeed. all spirit, without corporeal tntegument."
 Mckean's messenger left Philadel- phia late in the afternoon ot July l. It ~as necessary to get Rodney back to Independence hall by July 1, the day appointed for taking the vote upon the adoption of the declaration.

Board of Trade Seeks Extension cf

 Little Rock-That the board of trade will make an effort this year to get an extension of the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf railroad to Little Rock, in connection with other extensions planned by the road, which now ex- tends from Nashville to Murfreesboro, was made public when President Il. L. Renme! named committees for the ensuing year. Other projects are planned by the board of trade, among them q proposed direct route to the North.
 The Memphis, Dallas & Gulf is now making surveys in the direction Of ArkadelphiA, to which Tace r, line is to be built T. II. Simms was named as chairman of a com mittee to confer with officials ot the railroad company in an effort to get the road to come through Little Little Rock. .... ....

laration was to consist, for there had been prolonged discussions in com- mittee, of which careful notes were taken. The little subcommittee of two men met and conferred together, and Jefferson asked Adams to take the written memoranda to his lodg ings and there prepare the draft
 But Adams. -effacingly, insisted that the laborious honor should fall to his colleague.
 You are Virginian," said Adams, and I am Massachusetts man. You are a southerner and am from the north; l have been so obnoxious fer my early and constant zeal in promo ting the measure that any draft of mine would undergo a more severe scrutiny and criticism in congress than one of your composition. And finally and that would be reason enough if there were no other-I have a great opinion of the elegance of your pen and none at all of my own

INVEST HEAVILY IN

CHICAGO FINANCIERS SPENDING
 LARGE SUMS IN ARKANSAS.
Good Land Is Being Bought at From s2 to $f5 an Acre by the Syndi-

 About 1a44 acres o( lbs' iaud ta iHg investigated ts located in Perry and Faulkner counties, 5000 acres n Yell county and 30,000 acres III Jefferson county. The syndicate, t $ sad. seldom bothers with tracts of land less than 10000 acres.
 Much of this land is covered with timber and is several miles from any railroad. In some instances there are eut-over tracts, which are rough and .n bad shape at present, but offer great opportunities for development. The land is being purchased for Va lious prices, ranging from g. 10 $l5 an acre.
 There is every indication that out side people are realizing more and more the opportunities for profitable investment in Arkansas" said Mir. Dickinson These men are doing business in thorough, systematic manner, and are not taking any chances. They find out exactly what the land is, the amount and quality of timber on it, what per cent is under cultivation, what crops can be raised on it and other important things be fore they invest q penny Whenever they find q large tract that suits then they immediately get busy and add il to their hold ngs'

He needed not the hunger and the sleep lessness; he was thinking only of the fact that his vote would turn the day for Delaware: Delaware. though lit tie state, might influence Pennsylva- mia, and so the vote of the colonies would be unanimous for declaration that would immortalize the men who made and signed it. and enfranchise lut BtOplt Oi 1lIC To CSiCAAASS p'AiA N'oAN descendants.
