This years cotton crop will, it is
estimated, reach 1900, 600 bales.
Cotton is no longer king. 1t has been
deposed by production, and it is
not to be wondered at that the cotton
raisers cry hard times. No producer
or class of producers can be success
ful if the underwritten law of supply
and demand be violated.

On the seth ult. double funeral
was held in the Gilman Lutheran
church. Two baskets lay side by side;
old age in the one, childhood in the
other. One held the remains of our
neighbor, Mr.. Mullen. lIe lay there
grey haired and peaceful; rest, blesse
rest, written upon every feature. He
has travelled a long journey, and if
willing, honest toll can earn a rest,
his should be sweet.
The other and smaller casket bore
the greater z REF, the lifeless form of
child whose little bark was wrecked
against the s. Shining Shore" after a
brief cruise of nine years. The last
two years of his life have been a bit
ter struggle with the pillows and
breakers of pain and disease. All the
kindness of a doting father, with 9th.
er dear friends, together with the
best medical and surgical aid to be
procured for money, could not hold
him back from the outstretched arms
of sainted mother who, eight years
ago, was stranded on that "mystic
shore" whose days could not be
cloudless while both her dear little
boys remained in world hedged and
grit about by sorrow, pain and disap.

On the lid of the beautiful little
casket the yearning tenderness of
friends had wrought in living green
and in pure white daisies their pet
name, "Sevi," for little Sevran the
son of our neighbor Ole Mathison.

A Lesson OF LIFE.

A long days Journey there lay before;
/ crossed the meadow at breaking morn;
saw the road wind by hill and moor
Beyond the hills was my distant bourne.
Wrought OF the greetings I should win
What was 1t moaned at my feet meanwhiics
A poor old terrier. lame and thin;
stopped and helped him over the stile.
Then would have crossed; but dreary yelp
Arrested me. and turned, to view
A limpfng poodle whose need of help
Was manifest; and l helped him, too.
OF every nation aud tribe are they,
And each has a fresh, resistless vile;
Each says in his own peculiar way,
Just help lame dog over the stilel'
They're greyhound. Skye. Pomeraniani
They limp along in an endless flle;
They're smooth or curly. they're black and

They all are lame and would cross the stile.
The shadows deepen DER hill and glen,
Dim is my pathway Of many a mile
Yet Will renew my journey when
The last lame dog Is over the stilc.

A relation Of mine, who has spent
many years in India, remembers well
how, when living in Lucknow and en-
joying the evening drive with other
English residents in the Indian city, the
carriage horses would toss their heads
and paw the ground impatiently when
the first notes Of "God Save the Queen"
were played by tho military band every
evening. 1t was tho last tune played,
the signal for dispersion.
A skeptic-or. perhaps, more than one
having insisted that the horses only
knew the tune because it was always
played last, and they were able to calcu-
late time, the experiment was tried Of
playing God Save the Queen" in the
middle, instead of ut the end of the
evening. Instantly there was the same
excitement in tho horses standing round
''the course" The same impatient toss
ing of the head and prancing OF the feet,
the same general stampede and eager
ness to start homeward.
No one could any longer doubt that
they knew and recognized the air; in
fact. that they could tell one tune from
another. --London Spectator.

they may not use the needle.

One day after coming from tho post
Office put dozen stamps in my desk
and closed the lid. Then went away
and returned again an hour or SO after
ward. Upon opening my desk saw
upon these stamps mt least n dozen big,
nasty looking reaches, or water bugs"
as they are sometimes called. They
seemed to be SO intent upon some occu-
patton that they did not run away with
the almost lghtninglike rapidity with
which they usually disappeared when
ever the desk was opened.
At first | thought that they were stuck
to the stamps, but upon observing lit
tie closer saw that they moved about,
and | was finally convinced that they
were eating the gum from the backs OF
the stamps. By placing a large reading
glass so as to magnify the reaches, | OBJ
served that they secreted saliva on the
gum and then when it became soft they
seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots
appeared on the stamps, and these spots
gradually grew larger until the stamps
had the appearance Of stamps from
which had imagined the gum had
evaporated.
Since that time you may be sure
never touch my tongue to postage
stamp, and it almost nauseates me to see
any one else do it.-Interview in New
York Tribune.

The Sailor and His Pets,

Jack is fond of pets. and when at sea
is allowed to cultivate that fondness to
certain extent. The most hard hearted
shipowner does not object to having one
or two stray dogs or cats provided with
homes on his vessel. And Jack is very
grateful for this indulgence. 1t affords
him deep pleasure to hold in his loving
though rough embrace the innocent
creature who, either by cheerful wag
OF the tail or responsive purr, assures
him that his attentions are appreciated
and that the fact of his being lacking in
personal attractions is not taken into
consideration.
Jack loves the poor creature Just as
tenderly as if he were perfect. The
ships cat may be lean and unnviting in
appearance, but this does not prevent
Jack from petting it. Other pets are
sometimes kept on board ship. 1t is not
unusual for seamen on vessels returning
from tropical ports to have pet monkeys
or parrots. The captains wife, who has
her own way sometimes, turns her cabin
into an aviary. Single captains have
been known to keep pets on shipboard,
although, as rule, they seem ashamed
to display any weakness of this descrip.

To be eulogized when dead is more
often the lot of man than to be praised

The Art of Cutting Clothes.

When we read and listen to discus
sions of comparative value of long or
shoulder measures with those that are
short and sectional, in which one or the
other is denounced as unscientitic or
impracticable, our mind immediately
dwells for Il moment on proverbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
Is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others
Every man cannot become good cut
ter. Some do not seem to catch on, "
as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as make old
heads swim"
Natural ability and educational ad-
vantages generally inswe success, but
years of work on the board. the ability
even to make good coat, is no guar
antee of the possession of that mental
equipment which is necessary to make :.
good cutter.
When it requires hours of labor to fix
in some ones mind the difference be-
tween one-third and one-quarter of a
size, how can such u one expect to sue
coed rs u cutter?
When student is able to think quick
ly and clearly, we confidently expect
him to become a skillful cutter, even
though be cannot make coat so well as
many others. The fact is that to be

other trade or profession. man must

The approximate maximum dimensions
