MY LOVE.

She has rot eyes of purest blue,
Like heavens SKY above;
Nor are they rivals of the stars,
Those orbs Of hers, my love.
Her eyes are grey.
Her lips are rot ike cherries ripe,
As poets say in dreams;
She has not lair Of burnished gold,
To challenge sunny beams.
Her hair is brown.
An artists hand, nv loves is not.
All Nature to portray;
scglptor's skill 'Twere not for her
To mould great works IN clay.
But-she can oaress.
She cannot sing grand arias,
And by her voice hold sway
Ger thousands, but what melody
To hear her sweetly say:
IT love you, dear"

Reports that there will be a short cotton
crop do not appear 10 be exaggerated.
From many sources come statements that
In nearly an the cotton belt the plant has
been badly damaged by the hot. dry
weather. A week or two ago IL was
thought that the crop In this state would
escape serious injury. II is known now
that IL is badly injured-so badly. that II
viii be fully one-thIrd less ia volume
than it was in the season just closing.
Unless general rains come the falling
of will be much greater than a third.
The report which the agricultural COM
missioner OF this state makes. after a
very thorough inspection Of the crop in
numbsr Of counties. is Of the most
gloomy character According to his view
not more than two-thirds OF a crop is
probable. even if all parts Of the state.
within the next two or three days. get
abundant rains. If the drought contin-
ues much longer there will not be half
crop. In fact. there is danger Of its
almost total failure.
OF course. If the crop is short. the price
will advance. It has already advanced
greatly since cotton began to come to
market. The situation is not fully un-
derstood yet Spinners apparently have
the idea that an attempt is being made
to put up the price by creating a scare
about a short crop. They will see their
mistake before very long.
The stocks Of cotton on hand are very
small. The mills in this country are re-
ported TO be practically out Of cotton.
while the stocks in Europe are much
smaller than they were at this time last
year When spinners become satisfied
that the crop is going to be a short one
there will be lively bidding for cotton.
What the price will reach will depend.
Of course. upon the size of the crop, but
from present indications it will be much
higher than it is now before the end of
another month.

she Had known Baby So Long.

Just word says the Toledo Blade
anent the monarch of the cradle-the au-
tocrat of the household-the mighty mite /:
the trivial corporality-the banality and
the joy of homethe darling baby Jones
has taken the rubber tires off the iron
wheels Of his baby carriage and being
pressed for the reason for committing such
an idiotic act, calmly ignores the tor
tured nerves of his neighbors as he trun-
dies the creaking, rasping, rafting con
traption" along the stone walk. THE baby
likes the noise!' Forsooth if the baby is
pleased does it not suffice? Who among us
would have the audacity to interfere with
the pleasure of the baby? Then that love,
the hottest of human affections, a little
less than divine, the love that mother has
for baby! The father loves him, to be
sure, and would go to the extent of making
an entire city ward unhappy to minister
to his delectation and pleasure. but the
mother would suffer torture and waive her
hope of salvation that baby might be spar
ed one sorrow.
The father, between periods of joy, pride
and happiness in the possession Of his min
iature human marvel. at times grows fu-
riously jealous of his inconsequential ty-
| rant that has robbed him of the attention
| of his wife, and. it seems to him at times,
of her very affection.
His comfort and his peace have been at

An old Time Massachusetts Judge.

An Old Time Massachusetfs Judge.
Many BOstOnians viii remember the late
Judge Thomas Russell OF the supreme
bench OF Massachusetts. thirty years
ago. and subsequently collector Of the
port OF Boston during Grants presiden-
cy, says the Boston Budget The judge
was a native Of Plymouth and frequent
~ passed his summers in that ancient
town. where he knew everybody and
everybody knew him.
The Saunterer hear a story OF Judge
Russell the other day which illustrates
the openheartedness Of this famous man.
The tale runs that one day. as he sat on
the veranda Of the Samoset house,
rough-appearng native. evidently a toll
er by the sea. passed him by, hailing
him in the rather familiar style OF Hell
10. Tom, when are you going up to BOs-
ton? I've got case for you to settle
for me-"
The judge recognized in the speaker
an old sc'hoOlmate. who was ekinE out
a precariOus existence catching Holsters,
and picking up other small jobs along the
coast.
Come up here. jim, and state your
case answered Judge Russell. The old
longshoreman said that he owed a BOs-
ton daily $l4 on subscription account.
but that ne absolutely was unable to
pay It, and If Tom" could get some
thing off he would be much obliged.
The good judge agreed TO exert his
influence toward reducing the amount Of
the bill. Thus did the humble lobster
man enlist the services Of a justice of
the supreme court OF Massachusetts as
arbitrator between himself and his cred
itor
A few days later the judges client call
ed for a report of the progress in the
case. Did they take anything off,
Tom?" he asked.
They took it all on You will not
have to pay a cent" was the reply of
the judge.
Jerusalem. how'd you do it? whatd
you tell 'em?"
We'll" continued the Judge, 81 told
them that you We're only a lobsterman,
very poor and very shiftless. that you
got drunk and beat your wife. never
had any money and wouldn't pay your
bills if you had, and that they had better
cross the account off the books. They
took my advice, Jim, and that bill will
never trouble you again."
Great snakes. Tom" replied the be-
wildered longshoreman. You saved my
money, but my reputation Is gone to
hell"

Gov Atkinson made a very good speech
last night. a fun synopsis Of which Will
be found in another column. He IS con
scious OF having made an excellent exec
utive and IS therefore able 20 appeal 10
the people for their support with feeling
that De is asking for no more than he de-
serves. He has the good viii Of both the
white and colored people. and it Will be
surprise If he is not elected by "a larger
majority than he was two years ago.
The fact should not be overlooked. how
ever. that the populists purpose making
a much more aggressive campaign than
ever before. In fact they have already
begun making such a campaign. They are
going TO make all they can out Of the pro
Inhibition issue. That issue viii give them
several strong campaign speakers. While
we do not believe that their prohibition
candidate and their declaration in behalf
Of prohibition win be great sources Of
strength TO them, stin it would be well to
assume they will and to act accordingly.
Chairman Clay has not put many speak
ers In the field yet. 1t is time he had all
of his available force at work. What has
become Of Mr.. Crisp2 He has a great deal
at stake. He IS the senatorial candidate
Of the democrats, and to be successful the
legislature must be democratic. lie can
not get on the stump too soon. He ought
to make a speech every week day from
now until the day Of election And Sena-
tor Bacon, isn't he going to be especially
active in this campaign? He hasn't much
at stake just at present but he viii need
help towards the end Of his senatorial
term. He cannot afford therefore to take
his ease during this campaign.
Every one who can assist in this cam
paign should be at work. However con-
hdent we may be of success we cannot
afford to take any Unnecessary risks.
With 1O2 Of the 1S7 counties of the state
already in the prohibition column there
is a chance for an unwelcome surprise.
