COTTON CROP REPORT.
ABOUT AN AVERAGE PLANTING ON
THE FIRST OF MAY.
termination Slow and Crop Backward in
Growth While Acreage Is Up to Last
Year, Bad Stand May Reduce
1t Materially.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The cotton
report to the department of agricult-
ure for May, relative to the progress
of cotton planting and contemplated
acreage. Proportion of proposed
breadth already planted on the first OF
May was S59 per cent,
which approached very closely
the area usually planted at
that date, which is estimated at st
per cent. Returned estimates for sew
eral states are as follows: Virginia
II, North Carolina IS, South Carolina
80, Georgia 92, Florida 90, Alabama
90, Mississippi So, Louisiana 81, Texas
81, Arkansas II, Tennessee rs. These
figures indicate that planting is we'll
up to the average as to time.
The only states that are behind in
planting are Virginia, where the de-
lay was caused by cold, backward
spring, and Arkansas and Tennessee,
where extreme rainfall and cold
weather retarded operations. In
some districts correspondents report
drouth, while in others returns show
retarding causes to be frost and excess
sive rain. termination has been slow
and growth of plant backward.
Some indications have been
given as to low acreage
as compared with that of last year,
which was considerably below the
average for q series of years, but they
are of uncertain character and there
fore it is impossible to base any salts
factory predictions thereon, and fig
ures relating thereto are only given to
indicate what the correspondent be-
lieves to be the intention as to acreage.
The reported increased acreage is Is
per cent. Percentage by states
is as follows: Virginia, 1913; North
Carolina, 116; South Carolina, lO6;
Georgia, 103; Florida, 1l6; Alabama,
1922; Mississippi, 9S; Louisiana, So;
Texas, 100; Arkansas, IS; Tennessee,
100.
There will be less replanting than
usual, owing to the groat scarcity of
seed. Estimates of acreage will be
made ON June l as usual.
THE CEREAL CROP.
May returns on the condition OF
winter wheat show reduction of 2,
points from the April average, being
1913 against ia last month and $40
in may, 1892. In the Southern states
the averages range from IA in Texas
to SO in North Carolina. Winter rye,
like wheat, has suffered a decline in
conditions since last month. Its aver
age for May being 82.7 against 85.7

barley is $3.50 against 92.S last year.
The condition Of spring pasture is 81 2,

Indecorous Quaker City Cats.

The trolley line along cambridge
and Catharine streets is responsible
for new race of cats, which is being
reared in the neighborhood through
which the electric line passes. They
are large, fat and frisky, and can only
be compared to other cats as a full
grown Newfoundland dog can be
compared to waddling pup. This
great physical vigor and wonderful
development is due to course Of
electrical treatment to which they
subject themselves. Every night
when the travel along the streets has
subsidized, the cats can be seen coming
out for their treatment. There Is
just enough electricity in the rail to
answer their purpose, and first they
lick the rail fondly. Then they roll
on the rail and wallow in the cleo
trical fluid and act in every way as if
they were under the influence OF q
catnip dissipation. After a few min
utes Of this they get up and dance
around like puppets on string.
These exhibitions are of nightly 90
currence, and the windows of the
thoroughfares. are crowded with
eager spectators. Philadelphia Rec

"Have you friend in the world9
Well, you might as well have none

spend dollar for you. warn you
that you will find it So l have been
in this business long while. Ihave
told all my other patrons as / now
tell you, and they have all found my
every word true Thus spoke a
picture auctioneer to an artist who
was meditating an exhibition, to be
followed by sale of tho pictures.
The two events followed one another,
and the prophets words did not come
quite true, says the New York Sun.
At the sale there was notable alb
sence Of the artists friends. OF the
host of them only two or three who
were not among the rich ones either
came or bought anything. The
others staid away, saying afterward
that they did not feel well, or that
they saw that the artist got good
notices and was bound to do well--as
he did, in spite Of them.
There is nothing extraordinary
about this situation. The probable
ity is that the personal friends Of the
artists know them too well and like
them too much to be certain that
their judgment Is fair and reliable
when they come to exercise it in de-
termining the market value of their
work. Once an artist has established
This value to be great, his rich
friends are apt to hunt around and
secure some of the pictures they
could have got cheaper when their
presence would have been grateful to
the artist. The poorer friends must
then go without the work, unless
they have some that he gave away

EIE KNEW 1T ALL.
The Adventures of an English Tourist
With Plugged Dollar.


He was an Englishman, just arrived
from Australia, on his way around
the world. He wore the regulation
tweed suit, fore-and-aft cap, and
said edible" for cable. He was sure
that everybody was trying to impose
upon him, and repeatedly declared
that he was sharp fellow and didn't
propose to be taken in by any of the
clever Yankees. He knew the GUS
tom officers were all swindlers, but
he told everybody on the steamer
that he should be prepared, says the
San Francisco Examiner. When ho
landed, of course his baggage was exc
amined and contraband goods discov"
cred on which the duty amounted Il
forty cents.
Perhaps if he had not clustered 80
much the inspector would not have
said word. At any rate his luggage
was held until he could go to the
custom house and pay the trihe Of
duty.
He was angry at the delay and ex-
pressed himself freely on the way up
the street.
1.-THE idea of putting man to all
this trouble for beggarly forty
cents" he growled. "But if these
Yankees think they can get ahead OF
me they are mistaken. "
Then he Offered the receiver a
plugged Mexican dollar and wanted
the change.
OF course the cashier declined to
accept the mutilated coin, and the
traveller became very indignant. He
demanded to see the collector, and
was shown to Mr.. Phelps Office. OF
course the action Of the cashier was
upheld by his superior.
"My dear sir" said Mr.. Phelps, eve
cannot accept any mutilated money or
foreign coin"
But the tourist insisted, and finally
Mr.. Phelps offered to give him a dol
lar to pay the duty. Then he became
insulted and announced his intention
of communicating with the British
consul
He went to the Palace hotel and
staid there three days before he con-
cluded to 60 down and pay the forty
c4nta
