MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, July 17.-(Special.)-It was a sensitive market today, opening higher, then declining about 10 points, then recover ing the loss and finally closing al prices but slightly higher than the closing prices of yesterday. The twisting of August seems to go steadily on, and the only thing that is regarded as certain about that month is that it will be either much lower or a great deal higher efore the end of July. August today opened at 6@ declined to GIT, then became very strong and advanced to 6.Ss, and after many miner fluctuations closed at 6.S4 bid, with the tendency steady. We ad- wise everybody to avoid trading in August. There may be unpleasant surprises for those who persist in dealing in that month. All the later months we think will sell lower. The Chronicles weather report for the week to appear tomorrow will be very favorable.

A Romance Of the War.

Ami Mcleod enlisted in au Illinois
regiment early in the war and left at
home young wife whom he had mar
ried only few weeks, before. Al Mis-
sion Ridge he was wounded and left on
the field as dead, and was so reported.
But his wound did not result fatally.
although it left his mind a blank
through injury to his brain. Recently
his skull was trepanned and the brain,
relieved of the pressure, resumed it's
functions and his memory of the past
returned. He sought his family at his
old home and found that his wife was
dead and that daughter born to him
had married and moved TO Michigan,
The other day the old man found the
daughter, whom he had never seen, in
the person of Mrs. George r. Weller,
Georgetown, the wife OF prosperous
farmer.-Chicago Times-Herald.

GUS good things that go to make up the
regulation Thanksgiving dinner, not
forgetting goodly number of fat
mince pies, and the box forwarded at
once TO convalescent camp, where the
sick soldiers were all ready and anxious
to get away with good, big dinner.
The two boxes were delivered by the
same driver just before noon--one at
The hospital dining-room and the other
q quarter Of a mile away at the Office Of
the receiving officer of the camp.
The latter box was opened by the Of
ilcer at once, and concluding that some
big-hearted people of Washington had
taken this anonymous way Of introduce
ing home comforts to the internal
workings of that portion of the army.
he proceeded at once to distribute the
contents-an undertaking that was an
immediate and pronounced success, and
the turkeys and pies disappeared like
magic.
The thought that mistake had been
made never entered the mind of the re-
cciving officer, and the soldiers-well,
they were really too busy with the mat
ter in hand-both hands--to give
thought to anything else.
At the hospital the hospital steward
opened the box just delivered. whistled
little, then scratched his head. The
surgeon sent down little later to learn
II the Thanksgiving box" had arrived.
and what it contained, and the answer
sent back was:
BOX just opened. Contents, about
1000 Bibles for dinner and lot of tracts
for dessert

down upon the heads Of the good peo-
pie who packed those boxes, but proba-

stirring and awe-inspiring, were those
intended for the parties who sent that

A Wartime Thanksgiving Incident OF tnc
Convalescent Camp.
The sanitary commission and the
Christian commission were both grand
institutions in their way, but the two
when first organized were very often
slightly mixed in the minds OF the SOL
der. The good work Of the two COM
missions was also slightly mixed occa-
sionally, and the results. although
rather disappointing at times, we're
laughable in the extreme when the DIS
appointment wore away.
Along in 1923, when convalescent
camp, near Alexandria, contained over
10000 convalescents returning to duty
from the various hospitals in the north.
the sanitary commission conceived the
idea of giving Thanksgiving dinner
to the sick soldiers in the hospital at
tached to the camp, and the patients
in that institution were given to under
stand that they might expect some,
thing over and above the ordinary hos
pital fare when the national turkey day
came around, and remembering the
goodies which usually loaded down the
home table at such times, they COM
menccd nursing their appetites for the
occasion.
About the same time the Christian
commission bethought themselves that
their particular line of business needed
bracing up little in camp contain
ing SO many men, and had sent an
agent from the headquarters in Wash
ington to look over the ground and see
what was necessary in the way OF sup
plying their spiritual wants. The
agent evidently discovered woeful
lack of religious reading matter in
camp, for on his return to Washington
a large box of small pocket Bibles were
packed and sent to the depot quarter
for forwarding to that point.
The sanitary commission purchased
n large number of turkeys, and they
were roasted in one of the bake ovens
In the city on the morning of the day
they were to be eaten in Virginia, then
