The United States is destined to be-
come the greatest cotton-manufactur-
ing country in the world. Indeed, no
thing can prevent the realization OF
this destiny. The raw material is
native product. and can be brought to
factory without expensive transporta-
ton. Coal for motive power can be
as easily and as plentifully obtained
with us as anywhere else in the world
Our population is the largest civilized
home population possessed by any
country. The genius of our people
makes 1t certain, in the future as In
the past, that whatever inventive or
operative Skill Is necessary for the per-
tect production or perfect working of
all machinery needed in the manu-
faeture will be amply forthcoming.
Great Britain. however. at present
fractures average S500000,00O annually.

goods average $4,000. 900 annually, ana

Imports or raw cotton approximate L.
'oV'ooooOo pounds per annum. The
III" SHhtuue OIL this importation can be
reallzed when 1t is remembered that
1t is equal to about seven twelfths of
me United States annual expectation
OF raw cotton, and is more than seven.
seventeenths- of the worlds total ex-
portation.
More than six-sevenths OF the raw
cotton purchased by Great Britain
comes from the United States. The
next largest portion comes from Egypt
Great Britain, indeed. purchases more
man two,thirds Of Egypt's total pro-
auction. The next largest portion comes
from India. But only about one-eighth
Of midas export of cotton goes to
Great Britain. The remainder is sent
principally to other European countries
and to Japan.
But in addition to the United States.
Egypt and India, every other cotton
producing country contributes to Great
Britains annual importation of raw
cotton The more important OF these
minor contributors are Brazil, Peru and
the British West Indies.

A Funny story OF Four sisters who
Went ON the Stage.

Theatrica. Manager Rosenthal, the
husband of Katherine Osterman, tells
the following story:
There were four of the Osterman

singular fact that they all made their de-

was then an ambitious amateur, was en-
gagged TO take the part of Lucy. She
adopted the stage name of Belmont and
scored such a success that she got a
handsome offer to join Sol Smith RUSSELL
Before she left Jefferson asked her
whether she couldn't suggest somebody
to take her place. and she replied very
nodestly that her sister Bessie was a
bright girl and anxious to 30 on the
stage. So Bessie was sent for and also
made hit. but before long she went to
