who ever occupied a seat in the Unit

Is leaving to younger men the hard
work OF political leadership, but once

w1,h Vest vet. He is a close political
student and a keen observer OF men
and affairs. No man in the country
is quicker to see the drift OF public
sentiment than senator Vest. He was
among the first to realize the hopeless
ness Of Bryan's canvass in the recent
campaign. and tells the following an.
ecdote as being what forced the true
conditions of the situation home to
him One day in September he went
down 10 the barber shop at Sweet

of the way of ordinary observation
when two typical Missouri farmers
came in and began TO talk politics.

to the other. what do you think about
the election. anyhow" The senator
was all attention. for he knows how
to catch the course of the wind with
a mighty small straw.
- dunno. Jim" said Bill Il dunno
hardly what to think. You know I've

Jim, I'm getting So a head more fol

other:

Jim, thoughtfully I've always voted |
her straight democratic up till now
But I'm doin' better on hogs than | |
ever did. | don't want anything &c |

The senator did not interrupt. He
sat awhile longer and then he went |
slowly back to the cottage and said
to Mrs. Vest. Mckinley is going 10 /
be elected; Bryan hasn't a chance.
He told the barber shop incident and
added simply his conviction that when
Missouri democrats talked that way
there could be no doubt how the coun
try was going.

A prominent railroad man who han
died them pronounced them the most

almost every nation upon the face of
the earth, but never in my life have
seen people who could compare with
these Porto Ricans who were taken

1t is a go.as-you please fight with
cotton seed agents and buyers now
When there was large crop Of cotton,
the agents Of the m lis usually met In
this city or Memphis, and divided up
the Mississippi Valley, and put
price on seed. The sum to be paid to
the far ner had little or no relation to
she actusl value of thu seei, but was
the least trey thought the farmers
could be forced to take. The combi-
nation worked we'll when seed was
plentiful bat now that it is scarce,
there Is a general grab game to get it
all OYER the South. Texas WAS the
first state where the price was put up,
and when the buyers in the Miss ssip-
pi Valley were told that seed was SELL
ing in Texas at $13 and $14 per ton,
they secuted at the idea it would ever
reach that figure in the Valley, as il
was more plentiful here. Now they
are pay pg SIT and S1s toa or al.
most any price. In fact, they have
no price to Offer. but ask the farmers
what they will Ike This condition
Is brought about BIZ the widely extend
ed use to which the cotton seed Is put,
ana the constantly increasing consump-
ton Of all products of seed Instead
of there being any way of holding
down the price on short crop, there
was demand fer larger crop thar
usual. Ttia Is SHOWN by cotton ssec
having adyanc d much more than cot
ton If the parity had been main
tained, cotton would now be sell ng q
from 10 to IL cents, hut Ie4so labls
people never expect to Sc it sell fol-
even 10 cents again, I'm ess free
coinage should be restored. The NOR
al of all this is, that farmers should
never again accept the small prices TO

few years. ViskshurQ D sp rcch.

day and the index finger of his left

One of the funny things about lola
society is this: When you make up

genius to collect crowd of lola girls
who will all speak - each other in
passing. one young lady has always
to entertain twice, so as to get the
whole crowd and not mix hostile
camps. And that is the reason that
society among the young people is al

cry about the house, wrote a touching
little appeal to Santa and mailed it in
one of the company envelopes. There
was no record in the post Office depart

letter was forwarded according to the
