the Improvement at home that market

continues TO show a strong undertone
and recovered the greater portion OF
the decline before noon, This recovery
is based upon the strength Of the New
orleans market where the buyers larc-
ly outnumber the sellers and that
market has advanced closer to New
York than for many months. The
government predicts clear and warmer
weather for Texas and showers for
the remainder OF the cotton belt. This
Improvement in the weather and the
absence OF any special demand was the
cause OF our market closing Mt the
lowest prices OF the day 1t was
noticeable that the larger commission
houses have been without orders and
that the business has been largely con-
fined to local transactions. We antlci-

ST. LOUIS, August "A special from
Socorro. N. NJ. says the greatest flood
in the history OF New Mexico has jus.
occurred. Sixteen persons are known
to have lost their lives in the raging
waters. The storm began with a down
pour of rain and after two hours of
terrific rainfall cloudburst struck the
mounta in about five miles above the
town and less than half an hour after
dark gigantic waves bringing rocks,
mud and debris, took their devastating
course through the streets. The
bridges and at least mile of the grade
of the Magdalena branch of the Santa
Fe railroad were washed away, and
some damage has resulted to the main
line south of the city. OF several
houses which stood near the channels
of the Arroyos, not a vestige is left.
Many adobe houses in different portions
of the city have fallen and others are
giving way None of the business
portion of the city is injured, but not a
dwelling house, however, escaped some
damage. Many Of the citizens have
lost everything, and at least 100 FAM

Despisc Not Little Things.

There are little duties that are the
greatest duties, because God has
chosen them for us. They must not BIZ
neglected, no matter how much things:
men call great may seem to be pressing
upon us. Planting a grain of mustard
seed may be more far-reaching in its
results, than doing something that viii
be published in all the newspapers,
and taking a child on the lap and tell
ing it Of Jesus, may be greater work
than building a church steeple. The

not always being watched the closest
by the angels. Are there not next

The summer Girls Jewelry.

A jeWeler says there IS character re-
vealed in the jewelry of the present sea-
son, when worn by the summer girl.
The summer decorations confine them
selves to cuff buttons, shirt studs and
belt buckets. Now this is the way you
tel1,'' said the jeweler; when soft
eyed maiden with heart full OF senti-
ment asks to look at shirt studs, we
show her cupid-like designs. The col
lege girl takes the college colors OF her
best young man enameled onto the
gold. The strong-minded girl wants
plain opal setting; the athletic girl
takes sporty designs, such as oars, ten
mis- rackets, bicycle designs or golfing
sticks. The piazza girl likes something
very dainty and feminine, such as floral
designs studded with gems. "-Phila-
