come here" Still no one APP
peared. . .
MAT come here and you come
in a hurry" the irate mother
called as she came around the
corner of the log house. She
had spied the girl in a corner of
the old lot fence, busily digging,
forgetting everything except the
fish-worms she was so eagerly
pulling out of the loosened
ground.
However this last call brought
her to her feet and, hastily taking
up her can, she ran screaming
toward some pigs that were
coming too near the wet clothes
her mother had left on a plank
till she could find time to hang
them on the old paling fence.
She had been told by her mother
to mind the pigs. She had been
told by George to get the fish
worms. George was her brother
and two years older. Her trying
to do both at one and the same
time, came very near being the
spelling of the clothes.
Mat was a dark, slim girl of
about : twelve years. She was
dirty, no one would deny that.
Her face was dirty, her hands,
her dress. Her hair was I'M
combed. Her bare feet were
red and rough. Worst of all,
nobody cared. She showed
health and spirit in every move
ment of her active little body
health caused by outdoor life and
continual change. She had not
climbed the Alps, or walked
under the sunny skies Of Italy
or been across our own lofty
Rockies; but had moved either
from the bottoms to the hills OF
from the hills to the bottoms OF
grand old Arkansas, every year.
Yes. She had attended the dis
trict school; that is she had gone
when there was nothing else tc
do. She could print most of the
alphabet in the sand. Mat was
an independent girl and had al
ways taken a delight in not only
governing her own actions but
also those Of her smaller brothers
and sisters.
After the dinner Tom and Lucy
Ann Jackson came by to join
them in their fishing. AS they
came down the road to the river,
they met a common looking man
man riding a mule and carrying
a pair of saddle bags, He
stopped and said 10 George,
$40 any of you use tobacco up
here?" nodding toward the
house.
George anticipating his re-
quest, said, "yes, and the very
best home made, Have some"
And running his hand into his
pocket, soon offered ii. The
man shook his head and passed
on. He was an agent for Note
Bac. They wondered at the
mans refusal; but shortly re-
sumed their careless indilier-
ence,
They picked up long sticks
and tied their lines 70 them,
Mat climbed by log to a cross
log about ten feet out. Here she
made herself comfortable and
began fishing. They had the
usual luck, catching several perch
each.
Az last the boys became res
tive and began teasing by shak-
ing the logs. Mat was not easily
frightened and kept her seat,

ambition necessary to serve the peo-

Tie American cotton crop of last
year was worth five times as much as
the silver output. The fall in the
price Of silver is many times com
pensated for in the rise in the price
of cotton.-Mail and Star.
Will the editor Of the Mail show
the people how much cotton has ad
vanced? Senator Bacon Of Georgia
said to Washington correspondent
recently: "There has been some
talk in the north about the increased
price of cotton. There is no increase
that we know Of. Cotton i'll remains
at The same low figure" We had
seen these reports such as the Mail
and Star is promulgating and Senator
Bacvn'S remarks led rs to invest,
gate. Turning to. the market re-
ports as published in the Wichita
Eagle from New Orleans under date
of September 18th, We find that the
very highest grade is quoted at 71S
cents; from that down TO SIS cents.
BY reference to the statistical
abstract published by the census
department 1894 which is on our
table and which the editor OF the
Mail and Star can examine if he
chooses, We find that the average
farm value Of cotton in 1872 was 9O1a
cents; in 1880 9 cents; IN 1890 s
cents; in 1894 Che middle OF Cltve-
lands administration ! cents. Now
the average is little less than I
cents at market. Senator Bacon has
undoubtedly told the truth and the

Severed from the Union Pacific the

If that mischievous financial policy which
had it's origin in the North American re-
public during the late war in that country
should become indurated down to a fixture
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. It will pay off Its
debts and be without debt. 1t will have
all the money that IL necessary to carry
on it's trade and it's commerce. 1t will be-
come prosperous beyond precedent in the
history Of the civilized governments OF the
world. The brains and the wealth Of all
countries will go to North America. That
government must be destroyed or 1t will
destroy every monarchy on this globe.
The foregoing from the London Times
was recently quoted to us from men,
DRY by VIM. Hopkins, of st. Paul, an
old gentleman past 80 years of age. The
quotation is of special interest at this
critical period in the life of our green
backs, and is now recalled by this old
gentleman whose arguments for scien-
tific money are at his time of life sur
prisingly clear and convincing, and
whose concise and accurate definitions
would put to shame Prof. Mclaughlin
A talk with the old gentleman convinces
one of the truth of the old saying, "Old
men for counsel, young men for war"
