The following appeared in the Ar

Points. the promoter ofthe Southeastern
railroad, who is now in New York,
wired the commercial club that Ar
kansas City could have the northern
terminus of the road, with shops and

be raised to compensate the road for
making Wichita the terminus Of the
line and locating all its division faciIi-
ties there.

Capt. Nigsher,s Speech

From the Boston Globe.
 In an address at Fall River Wednesday night Captain Sigsbee, of the Texas, told the following story Illustrative of the fact that naval men made no pretense at be- ing orators:
 Ut is a very difficult situation for me-" said Captain Sigsbee, ito be required to make speech and I am in the situation of the old sailor who was very fond Of tea, and was devoted to the people who served it. But this old sailor had no so- ciety manners, and had never attended an afternoon tea. He was afraid of the la dies but in some way he was forced to an afternoon tea He went almost in de. spair, and when he got back to his shiy his mates said:
 ' Brown. did you go to the tear
 T did,
 How did you feel there?
 "I felt like q sperm whale doing cro- chet work. F" Daughter and applause)

President Dwight's Pun

President Dwight and President-Elect Hadley, of Yale, were returning home from the annual alumni dinner late yesterday afternoon, when they were caught in the rain. President Elect Hadley had an um- brella with him and President Dwight did not. Professor Hadley, of course. wished the retiring president of Yale to protect himself from the rain by the use of the um- brella but President Dwight declined to rob Professor Hadley of his umbrella in order that he himself might ward off the rain. Professor Hadley. however insisted that President Dwight accept the courtesy, and his arguments became so energetic that finally President Dwight turned and said:
 "See here, Hadley, this is my reign still. Your reign doesn't commence until tomor. row."
 President-E Hadley allowed the prsoep dent of Yale to have his own way on the last day of his administration.

 The children's mother was in her room sewing, and thither they piloted Aunt Mi nervy Ann. Then they went to amuse themselves the best they could until after dinner. What Aunt Minervy Ann had to tell their mother must have been very fun n.y. for presently they heard her laughing 50 loudly that they looked at each other and laughed, too, in pure sympathy. For a very long time they had not heard their mother laugh so heartily and so long, and 1t gave them pleasure to hear 1t now,

Government Report on the Cotton
Crop.
Southern Farmer.

The statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Mr.. John
Hyde, in his crop circular for Sep
TENDER, reports the average condi-
ton of cotton on the first of Sep
TENDER at 685, compared with "a
last month, 1913 on September l,
1898; 1873 at the corresponding
date in 1897, and 1874 the mean of
September averages for the last
ten years.
The condition on the first of the
present month was, with the ex-
ception of the year, the lowest
September condition in twenty
five years. There was general
impairment of condition during
August, amounting to 6 points in
Alabama, 8 in Mississippi and
Tennessee, 10 in North Carolina
and Georgia, IL in South Carroll
ma and Louisiana, 16 in Florida.
20 in Oklahoma, "a in Arkansas,
26 in Texas and 40 in the Indian
Territory. The serious decline in
the condition is mainly the result
of long continued drought. Where
local rains have fallen they have,
with few exceptions, been 80 hea-
Wy as to still further injure the 81
tuation.
