dug up In Spain from Roman settle

bacco or opium. Yet they are adorned
with bas-reliefs picturing the lavender

launch them by giving banquet at

attractive novelty; but the royal cook
unfortunately misunderstood the In
structions given TO him. Instead OF
boiling the tubercles. he cooked the
leaves as a kind Of cabbage. The
courtiers, after trying every imagin-
able sort Of condiment with the prepa-

After she had gone, while Broadway

CHAPTER TX.

On the way to the hotel, after they
had left the judges house, Broadway
tried to tell Bob Wallace what, in
deed. was the matter with him, but
could not. for he had not the least
idea.
DO you really mean to keep the
plant?" asked Wallace skeptically.
Yes, and pass It to my children"
said the dazed young gentleman.
You haven't any children. you con-
founded ASST
And they'll pass It to their chill
dren." said the coming magnate Of the
chewing-gum trade.
Il think you're crazy"
Bob, It's cinch. But let me tell
you" And he tried to. with but slight
success.
Wallace was shrewd young man.
is It your conscience or the girl that
has driven you insane?" he asked.
I'm thinking about Jonesville. Ny
grandfather built this town"
We'll, he made a blamed bad Job
Of 1t. Why didn't he build a place a
man could get decent drink in while
he was about it?"
"And my father kept It going"
We'll. he didn't keep 1t going very
fast"
And now I've got to keep my faith
with 1t. 1t is sacred duty. I must
not abandon It,"
Say" said Wallace, in disgust.
Where did you get that stuff, Have
you gone out and tried to get decent
drink here? This town ought to be
abandoned. It ought to be put out
Of its misery"
THE trust would close the plant and
ruin all these people"
You'd think they were first cousins
to hear you talk about them"
Bob" Broadway chided in a soft
and earnest voice, they are far more
than that; far, far more than that.
They are charges placed by Providence
In the care of the Jones family. And,
Bob, I'm the last of the Joneses."
Let us hope there'll never be an
other like you"
Therell never be one more earnest,
you can bet on that, Bob!"

Il mean every word OF It. There are

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.

There have b cen quite number of enquiries concerning Jefferson and adjoining counties, for farm lands business sites, for factories and other lines of endeavor, to say nothing of colonists who desire to settle.
 That these have come is in one sense due to boost, but in another, is due, also to the fact that there must be something to it, as the slang ex- pression goes. It's awfully hard to produce off of nothing and it seldom occurs successfully. That is in legi- timate affairs.
 Pine Bluff is ideally located as an outlet city and the natural resources of Jefferson and other counties ad- joining are such that farmers have been greatly attracted. It is a de- cided gain for any community when g good class of citizens come, and the greater the numbers the greater will be our capacity for doing things A community will never go dead as long as newcomers are willing to try their chance there.
