"Y.ANkEe DOODLE"
How tho Song Originated and the Bravery
 of ihn hIncnrnr,ia.


 of the Macaronis.
 From tho time Yankee boy dons his first pair of trousers and can shove his hands into his pockets he begins to whistle Yankee Doodle. He whistles it when ho goes to school, and later in his college days the old tune is called upon as an out let for the exuberanee which naturally fol- lows some college victory. The merry strains may be used to express his feelings when he has been accepted by his best girl, and again he teaches it to his boys as his father taught it to him.
 Yet it is no exaggeration to say that not one out of hundred Yankee boys can tell where the song orig gnated, and should he even apply to his father for the informa- tion on the subject it is safe to say that he would be dismissed with the eyasiye and general statement that it was written dur ing tho Revolution. In tho general sense the statement would be correct, but again the average Yankee boy is not satisfied with only general idea. So let the boy read this and learn whence came the song which is regarded as the national anthem of Yankeeland all over tho world.
 Just before the battle of Long Island General George Washington applied to the continental congress for moro troops, and among those sent him was Colonel Small woods brigade of Maryland infantry. They were only 200 strong, but what they lacked in mum bers they made up in cour age. Added to their reputation for bray ery they were conspicuous by reason of their particularly bright uniforms, which were copied after those of a regiment of the private guard of the king of Italy. Red, gold, green and blue were so inter- mingled that the other soldiers in palmer dress dubbed them the u Macaronis. " Then wag of the Long Island camp took the music of a German drinking song and wrote the doggerel
 Yankee Doodle came to town riding on pony He stuck u feather in his cap and called him
 Macaroni
 The Macaroni referred to must have been one of Colonel Srnallwood' brigade, which later took part in the calnpai gn which end ed in tho surrender of Cornwallis at York town, Va, and fought with such daring bravery that, when the articles of peace werc signed between this country and Eng land and they went to their homes in and around Baltimore, only 15 Macaronis re- mained out of the brigade of 200.
 And while very few if any histories of tho United States record the bravo deed of the Macaronis they will forever bo immor- talized in tho song which was written as a jest at their expense, and which is now whistlcd and sung from Maine to Califor- nia and from Hongkong to London.-In dianapolis Sentinel.

The sales were S7,5O0 bales. Liverpool was firm and unchanged on the spot with an active business, embracing 1HOO0 bales. Futures fell Az to points, and closed irregular.

There has been an extensive long liquidation and sold out bulls wanted a reaction in order to get again., And today. as soon as prices showed good break, they did get in. In fact so many wanted to get in that the decline was speedily recovered and the tone was less firm and prices just about where they stood last night Liver pool continues active and the stock was by no means anxious to sell cotton The crop movement of course is increasing but the conviction Is very general that the yield is small In the early trading today there was heavy selling, both for American and foreign account, but on the decline the mar .ket met great many buying orders and 1t quickly rebounded. New Orleans was a lib- eral buyer. Outsiders were buying freely. In a word the bull fever was still on. Many use the term ''bull fever'' in depreciatory sense, but arguing against the bull fever has been very expensive business for the past six months, while whoever has caught the bull fever has found it exceedingly re- munerative. The crop reports in many cases continue unfavorable, the demand for con sumption is good and already intimated the speculation continues on large scale.

A WHIM OF THE TIDES.
An Incident Which Demonstrates Thai
 Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction.

In September, 1899, the daughter of the blacksmith in Canna an island of the Heb rides was wandering on the shore, gath ering driftwood for fuel, whom in small bay about 100 yards distant from her fla thers house she picked up piece of wood bearing the inscription, cut with knife, "Lachlan Campbell, Bilbao, March 23, 1892" On taking it to her mother, she became much concerned, as this was the name of hor own son, who was boiler maker in Spain, and as would be the case with most people, certainly with high flanders, she could not get over the super stitious dread that this message from the sea was the hamburger of evil tidings re- garding her son.. The family of tho pro prletor did their, best to calm her terror, exhorting her to wait for an explanation.
 When writing to her son, she told him of what had happened and was greatly re- lieved on receiving reply assuring her of his we'll being, batwas astonlshed to learn that he perfectly remembered how when on holiday, hee had written as described on a piece of wood and had idly thrown it into the sea from a rock near Bilbao. We all know the power of ocean currents and need not be surprised at this piece of wood having been carried about for six months but the marvellous and, except for un- doubted evidence, tho incredible circnm- stance in this caso is that this piece of wood, after it's long drifting, should have been washed on the shore within 100 yards of whero the writer's mother lived and that it should be picked up by one of his own faiatjy and taken home. Had any novelist dared to picture u message deliv- cred as this was by means of an ocean cur rent, every reader and certainly every critic, would have denounced tho outra- geous demand on faith. And yet the appar ently impossible actually occurred in Can na.-Good Words

The steamer Moose, which could not be run on Crane lake because she drew too much water, went over Kettle falls, which are eight feet high, few days ago. In making the descent she struck several powders and would have gone to the bot tom of Rainy lake had she not been run ashore at once. Captain Tfengove and W. c. French were the only ones to make the fearful trip. The engineer refused to go, and 70 the captain worked tho valve in the engine room by wire from the pilothouse, and sent the boat over the falls at full tilt, shutting of steam as soon as he was over. Several boats with ropes were stationed be- low to save the two men in case of wreck.
