JUST A MOMENT, MIR. MERCHANT

Haven't We been hammering you and hammering you for advertising? :? You have given various excuses when thus approached. There is no money in the county you say. Just stop a moment and take guess at the vari- ous amounts that are being sent out of Warren and Bradley county each month, week or day to the mail order houses. You have only to inquire at the post offices over the county to learn that the number of packages coming into the county from mail or der houses is steadily increasing, to say nothing of the large packages and shipments arriving via the express and railroad companies. These mail order houses advertise. There is not a home in the county that does not receive lit erature from a number of such con- |erns. The best and least expensive way for you to advertise to the people over the county is thru the newspa- pers. The Eagle each week reaches near nine hundred subscribers, why not consider this paper as your adver- Using medium? If you haven't the time to write ads, there are concerns over the country that make a special ty of doing such work, or if you care to, We will gladly write your ads for you. Perhaps you say your business does not need advertising; that every body in the county knows you and knows what you are selling. Perhaps so, we are glad that you enjoy such popularity, but just the same the mail order man is getting the big end of your business. We have heard of fam lilies in the county who regularly each year get out mail order catalog and order their supply of groceries, dry goods, etc., for the coming year. These families know you are in business, but you have failed to reach them If your business don't justify advertising lets advertise it for sale.
 Now, MT. Merchant, why not con- sider the advertising end of your busi- ness? Why not, right now, map out an advertising campaign ?-Eagle, Warren, Ark.

CRASHING AT THE SHADOW

No man-especially if he Is mar ried-would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot?
 When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more i'm portant to the home than the election of a mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the i'm portant things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow?
 Be it said to the credit of woman hood that it Is not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; it is not the mother who teaches her children to say Now 1 lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; 1t Is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It Is, as a rule, the woman who despises her home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows

AUTOGRAPHS CAME IN USEFUL
Stranded Engishman Raised Money
 on Famous Names.

It Is sometimes mighty useful to have distinguished relatives. Here is an instance in point. A young New Yorker, a brotherin-law of Sir Philip Burne-Jones, the artist, found himself stranded while in Albany few days ago. Being unacquainted in the state capital, the problem of how to raise enough money to get back to Broad way was serious one. Suddenly it dawned upon him that a couple of let ters which he had in his possession, and which he only recently had re- ceived from Burne-Jones and Rudyard kipling, the author, might be made to realize, if not train fare, at least the price of ham sandwich. Acting on the inspiration, he took the letters to a nearby bookstore, which made a speciality of the buying and selling of original autograph letters of famous persons.
 Fortunately there happened to be nothing of a particularly private or confidential nature in the missives in question, and after examining them carefully and asking some questions relating thereto the proprietor of the store finally offered their owner $4.75 for both letters-$4 for the Kipling epistle and 75 cents for the Burne- Jones one. Needless to say, the offer was promptly accepted.

ONE OF MONARCH'S TROUBLss
Much Tact Necessary When Titles
 Are Conferred.

The bestowal of knighthoods in the arts in England is notoriously diff cult process, straining even the tact of King Edward. Every player who does more than walk on" the stage believes in his heart that he should be SO honored, and the very accom-. pantsts at concerts hardly think them. selves quite out of the running. This time the king had seemingly taken ref. uge in age and approaching or actual retirement. John Hare has passed SO. He is now making farewell tour, preparatory to retirement, and his DO siuon as one of the lightest. dryest and most adroit comedians of the Eng. lish-speaking stage would be a tradi. tion were he not still living evidence, so to say, of his own skill. The other new knight of the arts, Mir Santley, the barytone singer. has been so long in retirement that he seems to belong rather to the generation of the six. ties and the seventies than to our own, though he visited America as recently as 1890. He was eminent in oratorio; he could sing the senti. mental ballads in which the average English audience delights and still seem a man; he had his day in op era. There could hardly be a safer knighthood.

s2o Bodies Found
Continued from Page One)

Judge Landis has summoned to meet on Thursday.
 None of these activities will clash in authority. The coroner and his jury are working in conjuction with States Attorney Maclay Hoyne, and Chief Healy and First Deputy Hermann Schuettler of the police are giving ev- cry possible aid to both. And Tn the end all the evidence which city, coun- ty and state can accumulate will be furnished the United States grand jury.
 The Police have Capt. Harry Peder- son and 37 members of his crew in jail, holding them as witnesses for whatever authority wishes to examine them.
 It is planned to have the sunken Eastland examined by corps of en- gineers and construction experts of the highest ability and character. Not detail of her condition will es- cape examination. The official photo grapher of the Police Department to- day took eight large photographs of the vessel from as many positions, which photographs were turned over to States Attorney Hoyne. He will present them to the grand jury.
 Asked to Violate Law.
 The examination of the vessel is de- layed by the fact that more bodies of women and children are entangled in a mass of wires and ropes inside the vessel, and others imprisoned in the mud under the hull. As soon as they can be removed the vessel will be lifted and the experts set to work on her.
 Meantime, the official records of the Department of Commerce at Wash ington is furnishing evidence of the lengths to which the owners of the Eastland were willing to go to carry the maximum of passengers with the minimum of life saving equipment. Secretary of Commerce Redfield yes terday made public some of the cor respondence he had last summer with W. H. Hull, general manager of the St. Joseph Chicago Steamship Com pany, in which Hull practically asked permission to violate the United Stat es law on overcrowding vessels.
 All this correspondence will be plac ed before the various Investigating bodies, for the investigation is every where heard to get at the persons res ponsible, no matter who they are.
 Various theories as to what caused the Eastland to turn over were dis cussed. The four considerel most pro- bable were:
 That the boat was overloaded.
 That she was not properly ballasted.
 That a tug that made fast to warp the Eastland from the docks started pulling too soon.
 That congestion of passengers rush ing to the port side, attracted by some passing sensation, tipped the steam CT over.

TOLD AFTER DINNER
ALL KINDS OF NONSENSiCAl
 ANECDOTES GO THEN.
"Jones of Belham" a Good Example of What Can Be Done in That Respect-New Version of
 the Fatted Calf.

People like nonsense after dinner. dotes is that they need have nothing to do with the subject. l know man who keeps about half a dozen anec. dotes always in stock. He can make one or the other of them fit any par ticular toast. I heard him propose The Army and Navy" He said that some people took gloomy view of our national defenses. For himself, hs was an optimist. It was always best to look at the bright side of every thing.
 That reminds me-" he said, "of my friend Jones-Jones of Belhar. His motto is that there is always some. thing to be thankful for. His wife is not of such cheerful disposition. She is often annoyed at Jones' optimism.
 One day they were dining at res taurant, and they had placed before them a very tough piece of veal. It was an exceptionally tough piece of veal.
 There said Mrs. Jones, now I think it would puzzle even you to find anything to be thankful for in that piece of veal
 "'Not bit of it. said Jones, I was just at that very moment thinking how fortunate 1t was that we hap pened to meet 1t when it was young"
 Some time afterward l was at an other dinner. It was the dinner of scientific society. This same man was present again, and he WIS put Up to propose the toast of Success to Aerial Navigation"
 This is a tremendous question to deal with" he said, but we must make the best of things, and I hope you will bear with me while 1 try tc make the best of 1t. It is such tough subject that it reminds me of the piece of veal which was once placed before my friend Jones-JoneS of Belham"
 And out came the story of Jones Of Belham again; and it was quite hit
 So much so that he followed 1t ul with another.
 Whereat the men of science gave encouraging cheers and said Go on," for after dinner" makes the whole world kin, and it is just as safe to play with the lions of learning when they have been well fed as with any of the inferior animals.
 This calf, my frien Is, said the preacher was no ordinary calf. This calf forsooth, was a fatted calf Aud mark you, it was no ordinary fatted calf This calf, my friends, had been fatted up for years, and years, and years
 Here is another dinuer story: Two men, who had been dining so well that they could see twice as much as two ordinary men, were rather imprudent, ly walking home by the canal bank Very soon one of them fell into the water This sobered him to some ex- tent, and he began to yell out at the top of his voice:
 "Hi hi! Help, help! I cant swim! Help! l can't swim"
 The other man, who had gone down on his knees on the bank and was trying to steady himself by holding tightly to tuft of grass, surveyed his struggling friend with a glassy stare.
 "I cant sh-wim, either" he said, but I don't make such a b4b-blooming fuss about it.

Taste.

Every mans taste is valid for hinl- self; none may presume to instruct an other. The taste of navvy who strolls into a picture gallery is quite as au. thoritative, or, better, quite as nuga- tory, as that of its trained curator. Accordingly. the task of a museum is to grow systematically In the sunshine of science, avoiding the moonshine of esthetic uncertainties. Evidently, if this objection Is based on any truth 1t is decisive. But 1t is based not on truth at all, but upon strangely nor, bid timidity in the academic tempsra- ment. It is a typical idol of the sci enific cave. Unquestionably such i'm potence of taste frequently exists in specialists. Charles Darwin has re- corded the gradual whitening of his esthetic life. It has remained for our times to exalt this incapacity, this malady of the soul, into a high scien- tific virtue.-Atlantic Monthly.
