rhe difference between making
a front and making good is the
difference between a four card
flush and a real one. It is the dif
ference between the hand-painted
trees and rocks of the stage and
the dependable God-made things
[ of the forest.
A front is tin-thunder. It is
land coated wood, and however
uch it looks Tike stone it will not
Itand the strain. The bluffer is
a discount when it comes to a
ow-down. The clay feet of the
nt-maker are likely to crumble
\&ny minute. It doesn't matter
much what work a man does, so
■ <ur ns he makes good. It isn't the
•ine of msincss a man is in that
: success. It's the man
i he Vanderbilt fortunes
w out of an inconsequent fer
ryboat. The Astor opulence
started in picayunish skin deals.
Jay Gould peddled rat-traps. Ed
ison was a country telegrapher.
Look around you—the success
ful men are not all in one line.
1 hey were not horn successful.
They started as errand boys, as
pie-bakers, as wagon drivers, as
telegraph operators, as clerks, as
ditch diggers, as mechanics —hut
they made good.
A successful man in one line
would pretty surely have been
successful in another. A man of
brains and energy and industry
'■ ill succeed wherever you put
him.
am‘l of Posen used to say; “In
year I'll lie on the road. In
wo yiars I'll he a partner. In
' 11rei years I'll own the business.”
But he had to make good as por
* pr or stock clerk before In1 could
get on the road. And the man on
the road must make good or make
tracks.
Dearly beloved brethren, it is
work that does the business. Just
plain earnest, honest work. Just
doing what your hand findeth to
do and doing it with all your might.
It is work, in favorable condi
tions if possible, in rainy weather
if need be.
It’s the same old story of being
faithful in small things. I)o your
work so well that nobody can fol
low and do better. Whatever the
job is-clean it up. The boy who
does a good job of floor sweeping
will make good in better things.
Give him a chance. He may not
be brilliant. He need not scintill
ate. A little horse sense and a
good deal of earnestness and hon
est work will pull him through.
I low’ many successful men that
you know are brilliant men?
Mighty fewT. Most brilliant men
are too busy shining to attend to
much of anything else. 1 know
quite an assortment of brilliant in
tellects, and most of them are a
little mushy around the edges.
How often have you met a “’big'’
man to find that he is insignificant
in appearance, w ith no apparent
shrewdness, or ability worth men
tioning, and generally about as im
pressive as a really aggressive
shrimp?
But the man lias surely made
good. Start him talking on the
line in which his success lies and
see the wheels revolve. You'll
find he knows it forward and back,
diagonally from end to end, and
straight through the middle. And
you’ll find he has l>eeu a hard
worker. You’ll find that he point
ed his nose in one direction and
progressed by the process of con
tinuously putting one foot in front
of the other.
You look at the man and won
der how on earth ho ever made
more than two dollars a day. But
look at his work and you’ll find
the secret. You’ll find all the
cracks nicely caulked, and if
there’s a loose end anywhere it’s
tied up, so at least it won’t ravel.
You'll find he has made good by
hard work.
Mr. Edison is a genius. Yes—
all right. But he works—always
has worked. When he’s busy lie
eats when he gets time, and sleeps
when he can’t keep awake any
longer—sleeps in his laboratory,
so he can go to work when he
wakens without losing any time.
Some men are smarter than others.
Some can accomplish more in six
hours than others can in twelve.
We can’t help that. But any man
with an ordinary, common or gar*;
den brain can make good if he has
the willingness to run that brain j
up, say SO per cent of its highest
efficiency.
The man who wants to make be
lieve he is making good can kick j
up a lot of dust for a while, but
by and by your eyes get accustom
ed to the dust and you can see
through it. He can keep it up
quite a while in fair weather, but
when the showers come the dust
maker’s name is m-u-d-d with
the accent on the final d.
Imperfect Digestion.
Means less nutrition and in con
sequence less vitality. When the
liver fails to secrete bile, the blood
becomes loaded with bilious pro
perties, the digestion becomes im
paired and the bowels constipated.
Herbine will rectify this; it gives
tone to the stomach, liver and kid
neys, strengthens the appetite,
clears and improves the complex
ion, infuses new life and vigor to
the whole system. 50 cents a bot

The World’s Inconsistency.
Did you ever hear of a man try-:
ing to lift an unfortunate woman j
when she falls from the high ped- j
estal of honor and virtue. I guess j
not! Narylift. Too much Adamic j
blood still creeping through our
snake polluted veins. When once
a woman trips and falls from her
high and honored position, she |
lands in hell from which no human :
will stoop to lift her out; husband j
and brother, father and son are
deaf to her cries from that hour.
But on the other hand how be it?
I have seen men as low as it is
possible for men to fall, I have
seen the wife lift the husband
from gutter and press him to her
heart with tears and sympathy,
love and anguish trickles down
her cheek in profusion. I have
seen the wife follow the husband
through life in one constant whirl
of misery, and misfortune, and
when at last at the gate of hell
they are separated, would stand
and wring her hands in mortal
agony because the curtains had
fallen between them and she
could go no farther. I have seen
the mother follow a son, and sis
ter a brother through paths of
crime and vice, shame and degra
dation, through which a man was
never known to follow a woman,
yet, who is to blame for the down
fall of woman? Who? Let the
angels in heaven be the jury, and
God Almighty the judge.—Fort
Cobb Record.
Pleasant and Most Effective.
T. J. Chambers, Ed. Vindica
tor. Liberty, Texas, writes, Dec.
25, 1902: “With pleasure and un
solicited by you, I bear testimony
to the curative power of Ballard’s
Horehound Syrup. I have used it
in my family and can cheerfully
atiirm it is the most effective and
pleasantest remedy for coughs and
colds I have ever used.” 25c,

Found Dead in the Road.
Atkins. Jan. 9.—Albert Will
iams of Crow mountain, north of
here, was found dead in the road
near his home yesterday. It is
supposed he met death by his team
running away with him.
Rev. Carlisle P. B. Martin, L.L.D.
Of Waverly, Texas, writes: “Of a
morning, when first arising, I of
ten find a troublesome collection
of phlegm, which produces a cough
and is very hard to dislodge; but
a small quantity of Ballard’s Ilore
hound Syrup will at once dislodge
it, and the trouble is over. I know
of no medicine that is equal to it,
and it is so pleasant to take. I can
most cordially recommend it to all
persons needing a medicine for
throat or lung trouble.” 25c, 50c,
ans $1.00 Sold by ,1.1. Sturdivant.
Spend Your Money In Arkansas.
“Spend your money in Arkan
sas*’ should be the motto of every
citizen of this state. The theory
of buying at home is a good one,
but the practice is immeasurably
better. A dollar spent with your
home merchant will come back to
you in many ways, but if you send
it to a Chicago or St. Louis mail
order house your connection with
it has forever ceased. Sometimes
by sending your order to the l.arge
cities you are able to save a few
cents but in the long run you save
nothing and all the time you have
been sacrificing your loyalty to
home and home merchants.
Domestic Troubles.
It is exceptional to find a family
where there are no domestic rup
tures occasionally, but these can
be lessened by having Dr. King's
New Life Pills around. Much
trouble they save by their great
work in stomach and liver troubles.
They not only relieve you, but
cure. 25c, at J. I. Sturdivant’s

TO FIGHT WEEVIL
house Appropriates Money For
Extermination of the Mexl
can Boll Weevil.
Washington, .Ian. 11.—Con
gress has declared war on the
Mexican boll weevil and the House
has passed an “emergency appro
priation” of $500,000 for the ex
termination of the pest, and for
stamping out the foot and mouth
disease now prevalent among New
England cattle. This will provide
$250,000 for each purpose.
The experts say that the Mexi
can weevil has only been known
to this country for the last twelve
years. Its development has been
slow, owing to the sparsely settled
Texas-Mexican boundary line, but
in the past three years it has so
multiplied that unless checked, it
threatens to destroy tho cotton
crop of the South. /
There was no disposition on the
part of any of the mem hers to op
pose the appropriation which was
brought up in the House by Chair
man Hemenway of the Appropri
ations Committee. The bill had
been reported unanimously by the
Agriculture Committee, and was
favored by the Appropriations
Committee, so that, when present
ed, it had plaiu sailing.
Efforts were made on the part
of Representative Gillette of Mas
sachusetts to amend the bill, so as
to increase the amount, and mako
it applicable to the eatterpillar
menace, which has talfan on seri
ous proportions in the East and TWv
threatening the destruction of all
vegetable life.
His elforts, however, proved fu
tile. On a point of order by Chair
man Wadsworth of the Committee
on Agriculture, his amendment
was ruled out of order.
Representative Burleson of Tex
as briefly described the havoc
wrought by the boll weevil upon
the great cotton industry of his
State. He showed that during
the last two seasons alone there
was a loss of over $30,000,000 to
the cotton producers, and in con
clusion asserted that as the world
looked to this country to meet the
ever-growing demands for cotton,
it would be impossible for the
South to grow the cotton if no
steps are taken by the Govern
ment to remedy the evil.
