rows of lettuce, potato stalks and to-

Few cross the bridge without being at

the uniformed employees are constantly
piled with questions by the curious.
"Oh. it was old Patsy over there who

THE DECLINEI IN COTTON.

During the last two weeks cotton
nrices have taken a tumble OF nearly

market has fuctuated considerably,
Int with a constant downward tendency.

the believers in high prices for this

II with a red and nervous eye, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
"Kindly drop a lump of sugar in it,"
| he said to the ~barkeeper. This was done
and the man with the rusty coat agi-
tated the mixture with a spoon. Then
he drank it, tossed a five-cent piece
upon the bar and left the place with a
dingy handkerchief at his lips. An
other man who stood near the cigar
Tighter and who had been an interested
spectator now spoke.
"What do you charge for ~seltzer and

"Five cents" was the prompt reply
Of the bartender,
"And what for a settler lemonade?'
"Fifteen cents"
"Well said the man at the cigar light
