A Mere Accident.

She was having her picture taLcn,
and her chum and the photographer
were having a hard time. The photog-
rapher had patiently posed her a score
Of times, and the chum had told her
that each one was better than the last
and She looked perfectly lovely that
way, until she was too weary to do
more than smile in a perfunctory man
ner. And still the other girl fused and
hesitated and wouldn't be taken. At
last the chum noticed that she kept
glancing toward her feet, and she had a
bright idea, a perfect inspiration.
"Why don't you try a standing post
tlon?" she suggested, ignoring the fact
that this had been done several times,
and the other girl jumped at the idea.
81 believe l WILL" she said, rising
quickly, and the chum caught her dress
in q seemingly accidental fashion so
that the tiny foot, with its pointed toe,
was disclosed. Then the other girl
smiled in a satisfied manner and con-
sented to be taken, and the chum look
ed as pleasant as though she didn't
know she would hear that Mamie pull
ed my dress q little by accident, and
the photographer liked tie picture so
we'll that he would finish them that
way."-Chicago Record.

ABOUT NOTED PEOPLE.

Professor Dubois Raymond the physio-
logist. who is now 77ycars old, is about to
resign his place OF perpetualssecretary OF the
Berlin Academy Of Science
TIE Duke of Bedford made reduction OF
flftv psr cent. on rents due him at Christmas
from the Wobura telaatry. The Dnke is one
of the very few Englislmen who can AFFORD
to indulge his munihcence, the enormous and
eyer-growing value OF his urban property
making him independent of income derived
from agricultural land.
II, Lowther, brother OF the noted English
politician. is now in Washington. He has
lived in this country since 1888, and Is largely
interested in raising cattle in Montana,
though he spends about half of each year in
his old home in England. Mr.. Lowther is
intensely sorry over the unfortunate outcome
of DR.. Jameson's raid, and looks on him as
one who was betrayed. He had close per-
sonaI acquaintance with DR.. jameson ex-
tending over many years
The Earl of Winchilsea is best known to
the English public by the great interest he
takes in matters agricultural. His interest
in birds has led him to make many expedi-
lions. some of which have extended as far
az Egypt. and to risk his life at the end of a
rome many scores of times on the West Coast
of Scotland. He has the finest collection oil
eagles eggs in England. The Earl is also
keenly interested in pet animals of different
kinds. and he used to walk about the park
at his ancestral Haverholme accompanied by
lioness.
Sir Augusta Hemming, who succeeds 81
q Cameron Lees as Governor of British
Guina. is probably the oldest efficient crick-
or in England. Although "a years OF age, he
has continued to accompany the Incogniti c.
C. on their annual provincial tours. sir
Augustus Hemming's powers Of memory are
phenomenal. He is probably the greatest
authority on boundary questions in the Brit
ish service. and to him is mainly due the es
adjustment OF the British claim to protector
ate over the Niger territory at the Anglo
German Colonial Conference in Berlin IL

DIGGING ITS GRAVE.
That's What England Is Doing for
Her Vast Indiap Empire.

! After dwelling upon the extreme pow
erty Of the people of India, A. J. Will
son in discussing the affairs of that
country says: Upon this Eubstructure of
poverty has the magnifcently extrava-
giant imperial power Of England in In
dia been built up. 1t is q power that
has meant well many time, and which
has done we'll in not few instances;
but all its merits are eclipsnd by its
abominable waste, and its end must be
that Of all empires which have preced-
ed it. Should 1t not die from internal
commissions, or from foreign wars, 1t
will dwindle and perish from the ex-
hauStion Of the people it rules and sucks
dry Of their life's substance, or it will
collapse smothered in its debts.
The mind cannot contemplate q fu-
bilities without sadness. So much good
has been meant to India, so much good
done by its English masters, that we
could hope still for the future were their
ideals even now changed. Were real
economy to give place to the present
system Of pillage; were the interests of
the people studied first and our own
imperialiSt follies and vanities put out
OF sight forever; were the abuses Of
the India office in London and its hid
eOus robberies abated or swept away
were the cost Of the army brought down
to the limits necessary to keep cur pres
ent territory in order, and all cOnquests
henceforth eschewed; were the internal
administration opened more fully to
natives, so that the swarms Of Euro
pcans now eating up the land as Off
Gals or pensioners might be diminish
ed; were the burdens Of interest invOlv-
ed by the railways gradually diminish
ed, and in all directions economy and
4 trenchment enforced-our sway over
+ kdla might even now be consolidated
aAnd made enduring But the. refusal
80 take this path and the continuance
of our present habits and policy mean
that our power in India Is digging its
own grave. And all the glory of our
mighty empire hangs by our prosperous
continuance there.

COTTON CROP SHORT.
Mills to Cloje Down for the Season Earlier Thar
Usual.

Mills to Coje Down for the Season Earlier Than
Usual,
The Manufacturers Record this week pub
fishes reports from nearly all the c>.tonseed
oil mills throughout the South, showing that
the decrease in the supply of seed has been
much larger than is generally understood,
and that owing to this scarcity nearly all
mills will close down for the season very
much earlier than usually. These reports
indicate with very general uniformity tiat
The seed supply has been from 40 to so per
cent. less than last year, and that number
of Texas mills make the shortage even great
or. In the first place, these letters, it IS
said covering every section OF the cotton
growing region Of the South, seems to con-
clusiyely prove that the cotton crop must be
fully as short as government reports have in
dicated. and, secondly, that the supply OF oil
and of cottonseed products will fall far short
Of the average, Indicating the possibility of
better values when these facts become moro
generally understood, 1t is, however, noted
that anumber Of oil producers state that ow-
ing to the abundance of corn and hogs and
the low prices ruling for them they do not
look for any material advance in cottonseed
products unless there should first come high
or prices for cotton and hogs
