Cotton men Of Texas held Il meeting

a great imlrJ,e merit over the old style,
and can be pnt mp for less money. Once
clearly demonstrated the round process
is cheaper, the ginners of other states

improvements and then comes a revolu.

.rree Coinage" Demand Is Misleading.

If any advocate of the free coinage of
silver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, l6 to /, more or
less, will agree to stop there and ask
nothing more, for one am prepared to
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest. Who would want them?
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one OF
them would be satisfied. Not one Of
them would then get what he is after
under the pretext that free coinage and
equal rights of gold and silver" are all
that he wants. challenge any one to
find an advocate Of free coinage at l6 to
l ON these simple terms--that both gold
and silver should be treated alike; that
both gold and silver coins shall be made
for any one who takes the bullion to
the mint to any number that he wants.
challenge any advocate Of free coinage
to deny that free coinage, pure and sim
pie, is not what he demands, and not
one of them will dare to meet this chal-
lenge,
This demand for free coinage is a
cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it, Most Of those
who support this measure have been de-
ceived and misled. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator or representative
in congress or to any and every, candi-.
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
- IF we grant free or unlimited coin
age, without charge for the coming,
will you demand nothing more?" Not
a man who knows what the true pur.
pose is will answer Yes" to that ques-.
tion. Edward Atkinson.

ELEPHANTS WITH MEMORIES.
One Averaged an Injury and Another Rec
ognized u Benefactor.

Elephants have way OF remembering
injuries and kindnesses which surprises
men not accustomed TO the beasts. K. l..
Layard and his wife were in Ceylon, in
the Ambigamoa district. They were jonr-
neying along gathering insects, shells and
birds by easy stages when they came Co
the station of n roadmaking party which
was in charge OF Woodford Birch Mrs
Layard was interested i'm elephants, not
having seen any close at hand, so MIR
Birch took her out to see a large fine fe-
male. Mrs. Layard petted the beast, gave
1t a bunch of plantains, which were eaten
with relish, and after making comments
on the beasts gentieness returned to the
bungalow. There Mr.. Birch incidentally
remarked that it was violent beast hay
ing killed two keepers during the past
month. When Mr.. Layard heard that, he
reproached Mr.. Birch, while Mrs. Layard
grew pale Then Mr.. Birch said
"Do you think / would have allowed
Mrs. Layard to go near her If there had
been dangers That elephant is the quiet
est and best tempered beast in the stud
She was quite right to kill the keepers
They had robbed her of her food | had
observed that she was growing Thin and
seeing only "a little grain or feed in the box
one day l rated the Keeper soundly in the
presence of the beast. Next day he took
her out to work. She went along quietly
till she came 10 n fiat rock Then she
wrapped her trunk about the mahout, put
him against the rock and with her fore
head squeezed his life out. lie next man
she killed for the same offense.
Dan Quinton and Mr.. Layard were in
Colombo when Quinton heard elephants
trumTcting and wanted to 60 to see them.
One of the beasts was tied up with mere
chains than the others, and Quinton went
toward this one, in spite of the warnings
of Keepers that il was particularly vicious
beast. Quinton put his arm around the
elephants trunk and petted it, the Gle
plant seeming most pleased. QLinton
had recognized it as an elephant he had
seen injured 10y huge thorn, or jungle
nail. The keeper, in trying to pull the
thorn ont, had broken il off. In few
days Inflammation had set IN. Quinton
went towork with a knife and pairof pinch
ers, and the elephant, i'm spite of the pain,
allowed the man to take the thorn out.
He had recognized the beast by the scar,
and the elephant remembered him after
several years.-New York Sun.

No civilized country can confine its

prohibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there

purchase from and in payment of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howsoev-
or great country may be, and however

A LESSON IN ECONOMICS.
A Young Woman Gives Young Man
some Valuable Tips.
Again it is Washington girl.

Again il is Washington girl.
This time she appears as an angel OF

that kind Of angelic administration
about as much as any other young man
in the Capital City, and she is just as
successful as if she wCro trampling him
under hcr scornful heel and making
him feel how utterly helpless man is IN
conflict with the irresistible.
"By Jove he was saying, this sor,
of thing is simply intolerable!
what sort of thing?" she inquired,
with admirable poise.
"Why. have just had 10 pay mes
sengCr 80 cents TO deliver a note mp
town for me, and he was gone less than
half an hour. 1t would be cheaper TO
have hired cab and horse and driver,
and still oLcaICr 10 have sent ii by
mail under special delivery stamp.
"What was tho rote?' che asked,
womanlike LCfCrc she Thought.
"A response to an invitation TO dim

Forty cents is cheap fer u eood din
ner," she smiled.
'But | couldn't 90, "he walled. at

top Of that, Really, though, this mes
senger service is rank imposition and
should not be tolerated. Twenty-Five
cents an hour is ample, with short dis.
tances at 10 or IS cents. The conven-
fence is easily worth that, but more
than that is plain extortion and the
greed of monopolies."
You have, my sympathy. You are
the more entitled to ut because you
don't seem TO know any better. Now,
why aren't you as bright as man
know, who hasn't any more money
than you have? When he has note or
book to send to girl, he doesn't
waste 40 cents on a grinding monopoly
oh, that's what it isl She laughed,
as she noted his look of surprise, 1--WE
have call i'll our house, and / am COM
PEELED to use it sometimes-but he does
much better thing. He just adds 10
cents to his 40, slips around to the for
lists, orders 80 cents worth of yiolets
sent to the girl, puts the note in with
the flowers, and there you are. See?
Only 10 cents out, and think how much
in--for girls do love flowers, even 80
cents worth "
The young man began gasping for
air.
Or" she went right ON, eff it is
the season when flowers are more ex-
pensive than messenger service, just
substitute candy for flowers. You can
get something perfectly lovely for 60
cents, and to add a book or pleasant
note to it makes il we'll worth the girls
kindest thought and your 90 cents ex-
ira. Now, is the plan clear to your stu
pid brain?"
Whether it was or not the young
woman that very afternoon received a
delightful note of thanks for valuable
information, accompanied by 90 cent
bunch of violets from a well known
Observation-Disclosures Star.

alter It's excellence or Interfere With its
truth INwas first naSe on the Lovely Lou
of Bangor, and we had been on our way
TO South America for about four weeks
The wind had left the ship during the last
day Of this period, and we were dipping
our peak TO 2 lolling swell that sseiieds to
come from nowhere and return TO the
same place without making ripple on the
blue surface of the ocean. The sails were
all set, and their shadows fell clear upon
the CLASSY SURFACE, but where the sun fell
the water was as clear as crystal. We were
well within the tropics then, and several
big sharks had been seen playing about the
vessel. Suddenly there came n splash, and
the cook ran TO where l was standing on
the poop deck, crying that one of the sail
ors had tumbled overheard. The Lou had
no way, and laughed at the idea of him
drowning, telling the cook TO throw him
a rope, walking To the rail as l did So
1.-The sailor was swimming about the
quarter enjoying his bath when sudden
~ saw an ominous black fin make its ap-
pearancc 100 yards or SO from the ship
yelled for the rope, and ms 1 yelled l saw
the fin move toward tho sailor, cutting the
water like knife. | knew that unless the
man was taken out quickly he would be
deyoured and rushed TO the cabin grating
TO get a line. Selling piece of rope,
fastened To the rail just in time to see the
form of an immense shark turn on its side
to seize the sailor As he did so there was
an instant's glimpse of a long brown body,
and then the water was slashed into a sea
of yeasty foam, the shark seemingly being
in trouble.
Il threw the line, and in moment the
I sailor was aboard scared out of his wits,
but safe and sound. The thrashing in The
water still continuing, we proceeded TO in
vestigate, and directly we were able to see
that the shark had been pinned by large
swordfish, the sword running through the
jaws of the shark in such manner as to
prevent the fish from opening them. Wheth-
er the shark antagonist had deliberately
attacked the shark we know not, but its
timely and unexpected appearance saved
the sailors life beyond doubt, as another
instant would have sent the teeth of the
shark into the body of the man. We man
aged TO release the sword from the shark
and killed the latter, letting the other go
free. 1t was u narrow squeak, tell you"
