To many married women wedding all
niyersaries are the cruelest events in
life.
The man who carries on two love af-
fairs once does not cheat the women
half as much as he does himself
Ii a good wife is patient and appar-
emily blind to her husbands inidelities,
the world will in time shame him.
II wives were obliged to publish lC-
curate diaries for the young TO read, the
custom OF marriage would soon die out.
When a man quits treating a woman
like a child she Immediately begins
looking around for some one else that

When cheerful brave and lght-hearted woman is sud-

a sad picture
1t is usually this way:
She has been feeling out of for some ne expert

Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness dzzi.
ness and papitaton of the heart then that bearnpdon
feeling is dreadfuly wearing.
Her husband says, "Now don't get the blues You will
be all right after you have taken the doctors medicine
But she does not get all right She grows worse day bv
complaint is established
Her doctor has made a mistake
She loses faith hope vanishes then comes the morbid
melancholy everlasting blues She should have been told
just what the trouble but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor who therefore, unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind of trouble and retains their grateful

rendered them This assistance awaits every sick

Murphy e Co.,. Cotton Letter.

The receipts tomorrow will compare with small movement at ports last year and also on Thursday and Friday, and of course this will prove advantag- eous to the bear clique, who are already proclaiming that we have passed the low point period and that after the new year we shall witness such a big move ment of cotton as to convince the whole trade who have been loading up on the bearish bureau showing that the bureau is all wrong. with the result of general liquidation and a big smash in the mar ket. On the other hand, the heavy re- ceipts now in progress are described as nothing more than regular shipments of Christmas varieties; that after this month there will be nothing in the re. ceipts to change the views of those who have been playing their faith in the ac- curacy of the government figures
 An avalanche of receipts at Galveston and indications of a movement at the ports of no less than 6S.000 bales, against S7,00O last year. unsettled the early mar ket, which declined to 6 points and caused no little consideration, but before long most of the decline had been recov- ---A e-.6 <t,sa fact sssse~A Hs<h-

prise-in fact, the buying power which constantly asserts itself on every lower tendency mystifes people who have been expecting powerful short interests to take advantage of the big movement; instead of which they have been passive observ- CTS, or at least have failed to initiate an aggressive policy.
 The belief is here that the Southern holdings of cotton are on an enormous scale and that holders cannot be shaken out At all events, the market rallies so promptly after all breaks as to disar- range short selling. Cables were lower by one point.

COTTON SHORTS
 LOSE AT FINISH Had Market Going Own Way When Buying Set In STRENGTH QUICKLY CAME South Turned Buyer On the Advance, Picking Up Late Months as a

 Is Reported Light.
STRENGTH QUICKLY CAME

New York, December A.-The cotton market opened steady to 7points lower, under fairly active selling for both ac- counts, started by weakness in the Liver pool market and heavy receipts at the ports. January sold down to s14; March to SPA and May to S.29 Foreign selling orders were something of a feature on the decline the South furnished little business to It's representatives here.
 Just when shorts appeared to have everything their own way active Wall Street buying set In and soon forced the active options a point or so over last nights bid with the market showing pronounced strength. Liverpool respond ed to our rally with reluctance. The South turned buyer on the advance pick ing up late months as a general thing as against sales of spot cotton to export CTS. For the rest of the session the mar ket had an irregular session and while far from weak, repeatedly gave way before liquidating sales through com mission brokers.
 All private news from the crop country told of a light yield and of steadily ad- vancing prices in spot markets. The in. formation from spinning centers here and abroad proved to be of the best and aside from the big port movement for the day there was nothing to really disturb the market. On all weak spots Wall Street and leading room bulls bought May and July options.
 The market closed steady with prices net 2 to points lower.
