ABSOLUTELY PURE
Her Champion.

A quiet little romance, Of which
only those most interested are sup
posed as yet TO know, has grown from
the fertile Agricultural Department
Once upon IA time there was pretty
girl in a far-off Western State. Hard
times pressed heavily upon her home
and broke the cheerful spirit OF her
aged father and mother. with the
brave thought to earn sufficient
money TO raise "A mortgage from the
small farm, the young girl came 10
Washington, and, after many rebuiis
and disappointments, secured a posi-
ton in the seed division of the agrl-
cultural Department. Quietly and
faithfully she did her daily duty, saw
ing much more Of her salary than she
spent, and dreaming of IA time when
the savings would be enough to
tighten the mortgage and the dear old
hearts at home. When the seed dIyi-
sion was abolished her hopes sank
very low.
All efforts to find another place was
fruitless, and Washington seemed big
and strange and lonely. Before Civ
ing up and going home, she made one
final throw for success and future hap
piness. She wrote a letter to the
newly elected Congressman of her
home district, and asked him to aid
her with his influence IN obtaining a
government position. She had never
seen the Congressman. She imagined
him to be benevolent old gentleman
with a fatheriy disposition.
He happened to receive her letter
as he was starting to Washington on
ante Congressional business, and he
answered it in person. He was young
and good looking and susceptible.
His business in Washington length
eued itself out unaccouutably. The
pretty girl has come home now, but
this winter there is going to be n
happy young bride in modest little
home on capitol Hill, and that West
ern Congressman Is going to challenge
every fellow-member who shall dare
/ to lit word of protest against the
adjustment of the seed division.

Why Chestnnts Are Not sound.

Chestnuts may be plentiful this sea-
son, but it Is affirmed that the modern
crop Is not the sound nut of years
ago. About three or five nuts ordi-
uarly gathered nowadays are worm
eutcn or otherwise Uusouud.
Sound nuts half century ago,
said an oid-time dealer, "were not
curiosities. lnscctivorous birds have
been shot in large numbers in the last
few years and damaging insects have
fearfully increased in orchard, garden,
field, meadow, aud Woodland. We
have slain the birds, and now the
worms are eating our crops. New

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Aug. N.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined to, points, but recovered this and advanced F to II points then reacted slightly and closed steady with prices 10 to 12 points t higher than PSI ,0OO bales, making 6Sl, 500 bales in three business days. Liverpool declined l point. but recovered this and advanced to 2ls points, closing firm; spot sales there were 10000 bales, and though prices were weak they were without quotable change. In Manchester yarns were quiet, but firm cloths were quiet. New Orleans declined 2 points, but recovered this and advanced F to 19 points, and then lost to points of the rise.
 Port receipts were 73l bales, against 35t bales this day last week and 1881 bales this day last year.
 Houston received 1157 bales, against 793 bales this day last week and 4i09 bales this day last year.
 Spot cotton here was 1sc higher at New York; St. Louis, Baltimore and Norfolk. Here 413 bales for spinning were sold on the basis of 15-16c for mlddling .uplands.
 Today's features:,, It was little disap- pointing to the bulls this morning to find Liverpool slightly lower for features, and weak for spot cotton and at first prices here declined not only because of the dispIrltl,ng weather in most parts of the south and local. southern and European selling. Some heavy rains were reported in South Caro- lima, but as a rule the weather in the At lantic states was clear. Both Liverpool and the continent sold here to some extent. Many felt that a reaction was due. It re- quired very ltr1e encouragement to send prices upward sharply. There was mani festly more disposition to buy than to sell, and when Liverpool suddenly turned and ran upward both New York and New Or leans followed. The weather today was still dry. The signal service predicts continued dry weather in that state. It is feared that the weekly government report tomorrow may be bullish and the receipts at the ports continued small, fact which is creat ting some uneasiness in Liverpool. The receipts are not likely to much exceed 5000 bales, whereas for the corresponding week last D haIA Tho atttt buying this afternoon, and some leading Liverpool interests bought freely for the long account. The spot markets were high CT and middling uplands have now practi- cally reached Sc, the figure predicted by some of the bulls last spring, and which seemed to many to be to the last degree absurd Truth is stranger than fiction"

 There is young Englishman stopping in Philadelphia, and one morning he overheard one of the members of the club ask another how he felt. "Oh, out of sight" was the response. The Eng lishman made a mental note of this and determined to get it off at the first oppor- tunity. The next day he met a friend who offered the usual salutation. The EngIishman's face broadened into a grin. Striking an attitude he exclaimed: "Oh, you cawn't see me, old chap, you cawn't see mer'
