LAND CONGRESS- CLOSES
FIRST SESSION HELD IN LIT TILE ROCK IS A GREAT
 SUCCESS.

Little Rock, March 26.-The Arkan- sas Land Congress is now thing of history, and the hundreds of visitors have all gone to their homes, leaving Little Rock with deserted look. But from the sparks brought to life in the congress, fire of magnitude is burning and the officers of the organ ization promise to keep flames famed all during the year, so there Will be much to report in the way of progress when the second annual meeting IS heeld here next March. Secretary k. R. Raterree now has about 5000 sub- scribed to begin this campaign and he has already commenced to lay hls lines so that it will be only few days until the people of the United States will be gin to look up and take notice of Arkansas. A general advertising campaign, leaving no stones unturn- ed. will commence and be kept up in- cessantly, with advertising of all kinds in the leading journals and pa pers.
 All days yesterday there was much speech-making, but the majority of the delegates had gone to their homes when the afternoon session arrived, and many more spent the last after noon in sight seeing. In spite of this there were at least 200 people in the large hall, which is more than attends the usual convention. The delegates from the Negro Business Mems Lea que convention, which has been in session for the past three days, vls- tied the exhibits in body yesterday afternoon, the hall being given to them for one hour The exhibits re- mained untouched until the last, but the onslaught on the cotton seed crushers booth, where food products made from cottonseed flour was serv- ed, was so great that everything was exhausted, and in order to keep up with the demand some ginger snaps by a local confectioner and these were dispensed to the people during the closing hours of the convention.
 The closing hours of the convention were filled with stirring scenes, so great was the enthusiasm of the dele gates. Chairman Cole announced thaS he would probably call the congress into session extraordinary during the state fair in Hot Springs.

Gamblinq and Betting.

Does the man who gambles bet his own money? Many a man who would be greatly indignant and insulted if he were told that he was gambling with what did not belong to him would have to admit the truth of the charge if he gave 1t a few minutes thought. He would not think of talk ing money from the cash drawer of his employer, and yet he sometimes borrows money friend with which to gamble. he uses money which he owes to others for the neces- sities of life to bet on horse races he is using that which does not belong to him. If his family needs the money which he wastes in this way he is using money which he has no right to lose There are very few mf
 who can conscientiously gamble,
 there are others dependent up
 them who have rights to be cons
 cred. and it is their money which is lost. Think it over and see if you have right to bet on races or gamble in any way.-Rome Sentinel.

BRAVE FIGHT WITH BRlGANDS
Roumanian Woman, Scorning Fear, Saved the Life of Husband and
 Put Robbers to Rout.

A few nights ago a band of brigands etti on this line, writes correspond ent of the London Chronicle. Choos- ing the hour of midnight, they ap- preached the station, which Is deso- lately situated, and commenced their attack on the dwelling of the tele- graph clerk, which stands some 200 yards from the station itself.
 This official possesses a savage watch dog, but the brigands silenced it by throwing to it dead fowls stolen from the adjacent shed. Then they proceeded to force an entrance by back window, thinking they had an easy task. the only inhabitants being the clerk and his wife.
 They reckoned, however, without their host for hardly had they begun to force the window when door was thrown open and shot from Mar tini rifle stretched one bandit dead. This threw the others into disorder
 They rushed from the yard. the clerk following, but seeing he did not fire again (having recklessly advanced without loading they turned on him with the knives and axes with which they were armed and for moment his death seemed certain when his courageous young wife ran forward and fired with a shotgun with which she had armed herself, and another hrigand fell wounded. Picking up their companion they, fairly cowed took to their heels. The clerk and his wife, loading, followed them, but un- fortunately both fell in the dark, the band making their escape.
 The gendarmerie have already ar rested some members of the band, known criminals, lately come into the district. They have confessed their complicity and say that being bur dened with the wounded man and afraid if they left him of his denoun- cling them, they threw him, still living, into a deep we'll, where his body has been since discovered.

The following interesting story ol Bruce T. Bullion, the Conway boy wno is serving as secretary to Governor Donaghey, is told in the Southwest American by J. B. Parker, the Little Rock correspondent of that paper:
 While Governor George w. Don- aphey and good government have been the central figures in the gubernator- ial campaign, which ends Wednesday, March 30, the general of maneouv- CTS" or sthe man behind the gun, has been Bruce T. Bullion, the prl- vate secretary of the governor.
 Col. Bullion is remarkable man. He is a country lawyer "city broke, with all the skill of Champ Clark, or a Roosevelt, or Mississippi Cor don, and the sauvity and the polish of an Arkansas Garland.
 In his early life he followed the blow on a farm in Faulkner county. Later he was heard of as baseball player showing abilities at that time which today would insure him star berth in either of the big leagues. Once he left the farm and rode into Conway on a white mule. There he was impressed into accompanying a "picked nine" which was to go to Fort Smith and play a team in which Frank Park, the Nestor of that city s Journalistic bunch, was manager.
 So Bruce sent the white mule back to the farm and he headed for Fort Smith, where the financial returns from the game was not sufficient to

SOME JOYS OF MODERN LIFE
Short Conversation Wherein the Rooster Explains Few Things
 to the Patient Hen.

The Hen first looked at the pre- mium notice on the insurance policy.
 Tt is about twice as large as it ought to be-" explained the Rooster, this being due to the fine offices the company maintains, the exorbitant sal aries paid to the officers, and to oth CT things besides"
 T see," said the Hen. How about that gas bill?"
 Same principle" replied the Roost- CT. Tn this case, we are charged correctly on the face of it, according to the reading of the meter but iI reality we are paying double, because the gas company fixed the thing up with the legislature. Besides, we are paying for a poor quality of gas. We are obliged to do this because there is only one gas company allowed"
 q see," said the Hen. How about this carpenters bill?"
 That's about one-third more than 1t ought to be. The lumber was bought from a syndicate, who allowed the carpenter a commission. Then his men, who belong to labor union, | shirked their work because, if one of them set too high standard, all the rest would have to live up to it."
 q sec" said the Hen. How about this feed bill?"
 The feed, as you know. was half husks The Corn Thresher's trust is responsible for this. They got bill through the last legislature enabling them to control the output. Of course - But what on earth are you doing :? I never saw you act that way before" "
 Nothing much" replied the Hen. It makes me laugh; that's all."-New York Times.

BRUCE T. BULLION .THF MAN BEHIND THE GUM"
s.-

pay the visiting teams bill at Hotel Main. Although the visiting team won a victory on the diamond, the players would gladly have "swapped the empty honor for a diamond that they could have ''cashed' for a meal ticket and railroad fare back to the farm.
 Bruce was game, however, and with a companion he started to walk back to Conway. Tired and footsore they reached farmhouse on the following day and enjoyed generous meal as the guests of a farmer who believed their story of distress. Then a friend ly brakeman allowed them to board coal train, on which they rode into the old town which produced a gover- nor later.
 How he wished for that old white i mule to carry him back to the farm house, but as wishing was of no avail he footed" it to the parental roof stopping on the way at stream and washing the grimy dust from his face and coal cinders out of his hair.
 Finally tiring of the farm, and yearning for life in the big city, Bruce took up the study of Blackstone and soon became lawyer. Success in the profession attended his energetic hab- it's. and in due time public life lureo him into politics. He has been fo1 years a great admirer of George w. Donaghey and when the farmer-car- penter-contractor responded to the call of the people Bruce became one of his most active heutenants, and when Mir. Donaghey was elected gov ernor he became private secretary. Today Bruce Bullion is known all over Arkansas, and he is called just Bruce" by many thousands of her citizens, and one and all appreciate him for his genial personality and his general knowledge of the subjects

which interest almost every visitor to the office of the chief executive.
 Bruce can turn you down and make you feel grateful to him for having considered you at all, or he can do you a favor with the grace of a Chesterfield.
 Col. Bullion (the title has been giv- en to him by friends but he modestly disclaims it), has been the active man in the race for second term, but at the same time he has been so diplo- matic that even the opposition to Gov ernor Donaghey admire him as a man and fighter He is always even tenn pered, and he permits nothing to Tile him. It makes no difference how a visitor kicks and bucks, he remains the same agreeable fellow that has won thousands of warm friends for himself.
 In discussing Bruce, it may not be amiss to mention the fact that hls charming wife is entitled to be con- sidered as Arkansas "rail-splitter. While a girl lon the farm dainty and accomplished, Mrs. Bullion is known to have enjoyed ''out-door life and to have indulged in ''rail-splitting' as an amusement and diversion just as some ladies follow painting and tramping over the hills.
