The play deals with the methods of a pair of crooks, It shows in an interesting manner the means by which the sympathies of the public are played upon any the way that their ill-gotten gains are spent. By the clev- erness of an observant girl, the two thieves are at last brought to justice and receive a well-merited punish ment. The characters of the two crooks are cleverly brought out and the play is uncommonly well put to- gether.

WALTER BROWN.

The above cut is a likeness of MT. Walter Brown of Little Rock, who re- gently purchased the business of Men ty & Dollahite, groceries, here. MT. Brown comes to us well recommended, religiously and in a business way. A native of Faulkner county, he has for the past six years been manager of the Farmers Grain Go. of Little Rock. Be- ginning the business himself, he claims the distinction of having had the sec ond to the largest retail feed business in the state. He attributes his success largely to the fact that he has at all times dealt fair and square with his customers, giving them value received for their money. He purposes to han dle feed in connection with his gro ceries, buying in carloads, will also handle a fine line of fresh vegetables and fruits, staple and fancy groceries, feed, etc.

each can hardly help realizing that if
his men do not play better baseball
than the rather feeble article they
have exhibited on most of their recent
appearances, the plans for post-sea-
son activities of the Giants and Ath
letics may have to undergo sudden
and radical revision. Had the Philles
not halted in their winning rush at
the critical moment, Saturday, and
dropped two games to the dashing
Braves, the Giants would but six

We'll outlined during the last week.
President Wilson and the Democratic
leaders in the two houses of Congress
aDparently have agreed upon an am

will bring all of the most important
reforms contemplated by the Wilson
administration within the period that
ensues between now and the end of
the next regular session of Congress.
The tariff bill will be out of the
Senate in the hands of a conference
committee of the House and Senate
before tire end of this week. Currency
legislation already has forged to the
front and promises to dominate con-
gresssional activity within few days.
The prospects for immediate currency
legislation in the Senate have not i'm
proved during the last week, but sup
porters of the administration bill hold
to the hope that by the time the meas
ure has passed the House. the Senate
committee on banking currency will be
