Then No. 2 began to speak, and so the
meeting went.
We need not tell you what they said
they were on vengeance bent.
The chairman then appointed great
whale committee there
To go and seize the Long Brick Store
and not a soul to spare.
They started off one moonlight night;
the silver waves were still.
AS tough as whalebone was each heart,
as strong as iron each will.
Then nearer, nearer to our coast they
came, this whaling band,
But they scurried along the bottom,
for you see they needed sand.
The nearer came they to our shores,
the more they heard it said,
That prices at the Long Brick Store,
would turn the best whales head.
They whispered it among themselves,
ats worse than we bad thought,
The prices must have dropped still
more since brother Bill was caught.
"One-fourth, one-third, and even less,
they're asking for mems wear.
This whale sale must be CROWN fast,
the news spreads every where"
But finally they reached a port, saw
news they didn't like;
In Northerner which they borrowed
from friendly wall.eyed pike.
They read the prices, then struck out
due northward from the shore.
Down, down the prices on clothing went
at Paw Paws Long Brick Store.
But whales are all outdone, done up,
subdued forever more.
Their low prices demands whaling
bushes at the Whaling OnePrice
Store.

FLY AN IMPORTANT FACTOR

jefferson was fond of telling story
which illustrates in forcible manner
the Importance that absurdly insignif-
cant matters may sometimes assume.
When the deliberative body that gave
the world the Declaration of indie
pendence was in session its proceedings
were conducted in hall close to which
was situated livery stable. The
weather was warm, and from
the stable came swarms of flies
that lighted on the legs of the honor
able members, and biting through the
thin silk stockings then in fashion gave
infinite annoyance. II was no uncom-
mon sight. said jefferson, to see mem
Der making a speech with a large
handkerchief in hand and pausing at
every moment to thrash the flies from
his thinly protected calves The opin-
ion of the body was not unanimous III
favor of the document, and, under
other circumstances, discussion might
have been protracted for days, if not
weeks, but the flies were intolerable.
Efforts were made to find another hall,
free from the pests. but in vain. As
the weather became warmer the flies
grew worse, and the tapping of hand
kerchiefs was heard all over the hall as
an accompaniment to the voices of the
speakers. In despair at last some one
suggested that matters be hurried so
that the body might adjourn and get
away from the flies. There were a few
mild protests, but no one needed them,
the immortal declaration was hurriedly
copied, and, with the handkerchief in
hand fighting flies as they came, the
members FASTENED up to the table to
sign the authentic copy and leave the
flies in the lurch. Had it not been for
the livery stable and its inmates there
is no telling when the document would
have been completed, but it certainly
would not have been signed ON the
Fourth.

Modern Matrimonial Tale.

He was asking the old man for his
daughter in marriage. He was talk
ing trcmblingly, hesitatingly, as you
read of in story books, and the scene
was full of color, so far as an irate
father and nerveless young man
could make it. 1t came the old
man turn to speak, and his voice
2hooi with excitement. "You want
t. marry my daughter?" he said.
"Ah, now is the time for my revenge.
Twenty years ago your father Grip.
pied me in stock deal, and swore
to be revenged. Now my time has
come" He paused for breath, and
the aspirant for the maidens
hand was about to beat q
hasty retreat in the face Of supposed
defeat, when the father broke forth
again Eyes, sir; swore to be re.
venged. and now III strike the
father through the son. Want my
daughter, CHI? Well, take her, and
may she prove as expensive to you
as she has to me-" The cid man
dropped into his chair, worn out
with the excitement Of his plot, and
the young man fain led.

ARE WE WELL MANnEREoq
Disregard of Social Laws Founded
in Character.

in Character.
l suppose no one of us likes to be
told that we are not well hammered,
writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott in
Ladies Home Journal. Yet, what
one of US is free from all charge of
misconduct? / do not refer to those
lapses from etiquette which are the
result of ignorance of those unwrit-
ten rules of society which every COM
munity makes for itself, but to dis
regard of those social laws which
have their foundation in character.
And, after all, how many of the
much-sneered-at ordinances which
politeness lays upon us are really
founded on deep and noble princi-
pies? Courtesy is but the expression
of kindness.
Table manners are much trans
crossed, not simply eating with the
knife and drinking from the saucer,
not by offending the taste, but by
wounding the heart by sarcastic
and contemptuous remarks thought
lessly uttered, and quite often by in
difference and inattention.
One may say that the heart should
not be wounded SO easily, but if the
heart be hardened so that it does
not feel wounds it will soon be-
come too hard to feel and express
sympathy.

COTTON ADVANCING
Boom in the Market -Bullish
AdVices from the South.

New York. Oct. Cotton con-
tinues to advance on heavy trans
actions for New England and Man
chester account. The features Of
the market that attract attention
are the great activity, positively
amounting to a boom. in the Amer
lean mill centers, and the strength
of spot markets in the South, IS
pecislly New Orleans. This tele-
gram came from Fall River yester-
day: "Sales OF GOO DIS tremer dous,
being 4O1 900 pieces for the week.
Market firm; stock reduced 1000
pieces to 96, 000." A letter from
Fall River reads as follows: "Print
cloth markets active and strong;
&c bid for spots for any delivery
up to next July We bid that
price today for contracts up to
next October, but could not find a
seller
In New Orleans there is a corner
in October cotton which helps TO
make the shorts nervous in this
market. The New Orleans market
on the curb last night was two or
three points over the official close.
Henry Neill was reported to have
been a buyer Of cotton at the close
IN New Orleans. According to the
figures of Secretary Hester of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, the
total amount Of cotton brought IN
to sight so far this season is 1885,
$50 bales, against S97 ,005 for the
same period last year, 66S,39S in
1898 and 6S2,625 in 1892. This
shows an excess of receipts so far
of about 81 900 bales over 1892. SO,
when the crop was 6, 7O0,0 900 bales,
and decrease Of $4,000 bales
from 1S94-95, when the out-turn
was 0,90l 900 bales. 1t also
shows an increase so far this sea-
son Of about $4,000 bales over
1894. when the yield was Z $50
600 bales. Port receipts yesterday
were 80, 1000, agoinst 81 900 bales
last year. Port receipts On Mon
day of last year were 1884 bales
New Orleans expects to receive on
Monday Is, 900 to 10000 bales,
against 22,15S last year. These
kilograms came from the bullish
South yesterday:
New Orleans, Oct. Bet
81 900 that January sells at 10
cents in New York; also $500 to
81, 800 that some months before
September sell at y cents. The
only thing that might prevent
would be general European war
next spring, which is unlikely, as
modern kings and emperors don't
want to go out of business. Bet
81 800 to $4,000 that the crop is
under 5000, 600"
An Englishman cabled to his
firm in Liverpool last night that
the crop would be 100000 bales.
This fact coming to the knowledge
Of the New Orleans bull leader
the latter sent cable dispatch to
Liverpool offering to bet the Eng
lish firm $500 that the crop would
not be $500 O00 bales. The Ores
cent City bull also wagered mem
Der of the New York Cotton Ex-
change $500 even that the crop
would not exceed 6,600,OO0 bales.
Another New Orleans broker of.
fered to bet 81 900 to $500 that the
crop would be under 7 100000.
The firmness Of the American
markets in the face of disappo;nt.
ing advices from Europe is due tc
the belief that the European spin.
ners will finally be compelled te
accept the American view of the
crop, and pay higher prices fol-
their requirements aud also to the
unusually large demand for stocks
