How She Encouraged Him.

It was eviden that he was rather
nervous, and she enjoyed it. When
matters reach point where a girl is
satisfied that she can land her fish al
any time, she rather likes to play with
him little.
After several absurd "bluffs" he
mustered up sufficient courage to
occupy half the settee with her, but
somehow he didn't seem to be able to
keep his eyes off the door.
"Why, you know what little bit
of man papa is" she said, reassur'
ingly.
His heart gave leap and he edged
closer as he recalled the physiological
fact.
"But you also know" she inter
rupted, 'that mamma is big and strong
and aggressive.
That was true, he reflected, and he
began to think it might be wise to
postpone what he had to say, when
she suggested, in her artless way:
"But mamma isn't in. n."-Chicagc

Lace Mittens a Pretty Conceit.

The notion of wearing lace mittens
instead of gloves is really rather q
pretty conceit when cne is en- fete,
but for ordinary street wear the ap-
pearance of ones hands would hardly
be improved thereby. The very palest
tan suedes still hold their own as the
fashionable glove, but they are nearly
all strapped with black.

expect to put up 5000 or 10000
bales. Our experience has been
most satisfactory, both from n
ginner's and II manufacturer :
standpoint, and the fact that we
have SO largely increased our buoi~

planters are we'll satisfied. The
universal opinion expressed by all
customers is that they are more

for it, thus saving much labor
formerly necessary. Under the
old process they paid So for GIN
ming, made trip to the gin with
their load, generally had to leave
it and wait several days for GIN
ming, and then made second trip
for the cotton and seed and an.
other trip to market. In the
spring we furnish them seed at
the same price we paid when gin
ming was done, and they are then
sure of getting good seed fol
planting, and only what they want.
