GORE
TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Our correspondents are getting in
to the habit of mailing their weekly
letters so that we do not receive
them until Tuesday, and sometimes
even until Wednesday morning
Nearly the entire newspaper has to
be set in type on Monday and Tues
day, and the great bulk of it Tues
day, so as to get the local news up
to the last minute. 1t is physical
impossibility fer a typesetting ma
chine to set this much type in time
for the issue unless these letters
reach this Office on Monday, and the
earlier in the day the better.
Therefore, we must insist upon
correspondence being mailed in time
to reach us Monday. Should there
be important news after the time
you mail your letter and before
Wednesday noon, telephone it in and
we will use every endeavor to get
it into the paper. We want you
to help us in this matter, so that
We can give you a still better news

FOOTWEAR CAUSE OF WOE
Popular Pump Is Rough on SILK Stockings, But Girls will
 Wear Them.

The bachelor maid twisted her pret- ty foot around and looked ruefully at the heel of her silk stocking, just above the top of her patent leather pump
 What do I care about airshlps?" she exclaimed mournfully, "or wire less telegraph Improvements or deep sea navigation? What women most need Is some kind of an invention that will keep pumps from cutting through stockings just above the heel. That would meet a real human need. l paid S3 for those stockings and this Is the second time 1 have worn them. One pump has cut long gash, as you see, and it is useless to mend 1t. The same kind of a gash would be cut through the mending silk in a few hours
 Why not abandon the wearing of pumps? Oh, horrors, no! They are the most adorable footwear on earth No sane woman would be willing to surrender them. l will wear cheaper stockings if l must, but give up pumps, never! Surely there must be enough igenuity in the whole world to rise to this demand. I believe a manufacturer who would devise some means, either on the pump or in the stockings, to obviate this difficulty would wax rich"
 Bachelor cousin had a brilliant idea Couldn't some leader of fashion make it the style to leave an open space in all stockings, just above the heel. SC there would be nothing to cut away?'
 Except the skinl Wretch!"

American Banks Needed Abroad.

Germany and England have chains of banks in foreign countries which afford important facilities to their cempatriots interested in the foreign trade as well as to the native business interests in their respective spheres of activity.
 The lack of such facilities repre- sents serious handicap to American export trade and the intercourse be- tween the foreign nations and Ameri- can commerce. In many of the most important territories, which by the mere reason of geographical position are within the natural scope of Amer. lean export activity, every dollar that changes hands between Americans and their foreign connections yields a tribute to German and British banks.

TALE OF A LOST UMBRELLA
Two People at Least Who Failed to Sec Any Humor In the Sit
 uation.

It was train coming through southern Wisconsin. On board was one of those impromptu comedy crowds from the tall grass that hadn't any idea 1t was funny. One woman suddenly descended on her husband with the thrilling inquiry:
 Where is that umbrella of miner"
 T dunno" grow'ed the husband
 Well, you had 1t last"
 Didn't neither"
 You did, too, and you've got to git busy findin' it. bet it's up forred there where we twas a-settin' before we come back hyer."
 More growls from the husband, who was sleepy
 You got t'help me hunt it, anyway"
 She took him and went forward. peering under the seats. All up and down the aisle they went, searching va1nly. The more uncomfortable the stopping made her the madder and worse excited the woman got and the worse her husband growled.
 Finally she began poking under the seats to see if she could touch the umbrella in some recess beyond her vision.
 A girl with a blue feather in her hat, who had been timidly watching the performance and showing blush ing tendency to interrupt. could con- tain herself no longer.
 Whats that you're poking under the seat with-isnt that the lost um- brella?" she asked
 The woman strengthened up, gave one look at the tightly grasped instru- ment, and snapped out: Yes, it isl"
 She said 1t just as if it had been the fault of the girl with the blue feather in her hat

GRAND JURY IGNORES
 CASE AGAINST ERWIN

The Fort Smith American of Sun day states that the Sebastian county grand jury Saturday afternoon dis missed the charge against J. A. Err win of Conway for obtaining goods under false pretenses and refused to issue an indictment, thus freeing the Conway man from any prosecution on the charge.
 Mr. Erwin was charged by Fort Smith firm with having bought goods from them on the representation that he was a member of the firm of Favre X Herbert of this city. Mir. Erwin admitted buying the goods, but his defense was that at the time of the purchase he was actually member of the firm and had authori- y to make the purchases on their ac-/ ,ount. This contention was pros oo the satisfaction of the grand jury, who dismissed the charge.

MASS MEETING
 MONDAY NIGHT Another Railroad Proposi- tion to be Submitted to the People of This City
MAY REQUIRE A BOND
Or Railroad Company For The Faith. fnI Performance oi it's Con-
 tract Here.

At meeting of the directors of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade. and other business men, yesterday after noon, it was decided to call a mass meeting of the business men and property owners of this city for Monday night, January 24, to be held at the Jefferson county court house in this city, for the purpose of dis cussing and receiving a proposition from the officials of the Memphis. Paris and Gulf Railroad company for an extension of the line to this city from Philadelphia and then on to either Memphis or Helena or both. At the meeting w. w. Brown, of Cam- den, and J. w. Bishop, of Nashville, Ark, officials of the road will be pre- sent and submit the proposition to the people of this city.
 At the meeting of the Board of Trade directors yesterday written t proposition, from Secretary Bishop. outlining what is to be expected of Pine Bluff if the road is brought here. was read. The proposition was to the effect that this city should give the Memphis. Paris and Gulf people a S100,0OO cash bonus, right of way through the city and county and ter minals here. The bonus, it is provid- ed, is to be paid one third when the first train is operated into Pine Bluff over the proposed line and the other two thirds one and two years there after. The payment of the remain ing twothirds of the bonus, how ever, is to be made on condition that the railroad is completed to either Memphis to Helena or both, as the two cities are said to be the objective points. The M. P. X G. road is now being extended to Philadelphia from Murfreesboro, Ark. and is being built Westward to Terrill, Texas. From the latter place the owners are planning to take it on to Dallas, thus giving Memphis another direct trunk line to Dallas. Texas, in the near fu- ture, through Pine Bluff.
 The written proposition. as submit- ted yesterday, will have to be boiled down to the definite details before It is presented to the citizens in mass meeting here Monday night. It was largely explanatory, although the
