Obliging

From the Washington Star.
 The young man who sings loud and long was interrupted by tap at the door of his apartment.
 "Excuse me-" said the tall, thin stranger "I am sorry to intrude l occupy the flat under you, and l have come up to inquire if you are the gentleman who sings bal lads?"
 Yes" was the answer, with the air of 6 man who is modest, but cannot deny the truth. Are you fond of music?'
 T don't know that l am what you would call fond of it. At the same time haven't anything particular against il. l am very much affected by some things 1 hear"
 That amounts to the same thing as be- ing fond of it." was the answer, in tone of soothing encouragement.
 q have been wondering if l caught the words of your favorite song correctly. Let me see:
 "'How often, oh, how often,
 Have I wished that the ebbing tide
 Would bear me away on it's bosom
 To the ocean wild and wide
 "Is that right?"
 "Yes; it's all right, according to my recol- lection. Is that one of the pieces you are affected by?"
 "Yes I have been affected by that for hours at time. It has drawn me irreslst- ibly to you It has filled me with a yearn- ing to do something that would make you happier. And I called up to say that if you'll come down to the river with me any evening I'll pay your care fare and hire a boat and give you a good start on the hrst ebbing tide scheduled. And I don't mind saving that the farther out it bears you the better I'll be satisfied"

COTTON CROP SHORT
The Yield in Texas Will be 100000
 Bales Behind Last Year

Austin, Tex, September 1.-The long drouth which has bHghted Texas for two months past, and which was only partially broken in places Sunday, has been most seriously felt in its reduction of the cotton crop of Texas. It has been carefully fig ured out by the experts here that the yield now will not exceed bale to three acres, which will make the crop of this season nearly 2OOO 900 bales short of the crop of last year, which was 9,555,00O.
 These figures, given out at this time will not be changed, no matter if 1t does rain now, as the season is too far ad- vanced to secure even a top crop in case of general rains. It is expected that this immense shortage will result in booming the price of cotton at the close of the sea- son back to seven or eight cents
