Hubbard Bros. * Co.'S Cotton Letter

New York, April 9.-Liverpool declined
sharply to-day, and though it rallied at
the close the statement of the English
Board of Trade showing a decrease in the
export of yarn and cloths, is evident that
the spinners of England are also feeling
the depression in trade. Last season the
exports of cotton goods were smaller than
for years, and so far this year they are
again smaller. Our market opened very
steady, with the local trade buying. ex-
pecting a reaction abroad, but the move
ment, coupled with these advices from
Manchester. brought lower prices. We
are all looking for this market to come
closer to Liverpool and relatively higher
in its present relation with other mar
kets. This prevents the formation of a
large short interest.

West Point were detailed to ride over

West Point were detailed to ride over
to the agency and make an investiga-
ton. While they were seated on the
veranda of the agents house. and
while he was reciting his reasons for
believing an uprising was imminent,
about two hundred Indians came gal
Looping towards them across the prairie
They were in war paint and war bon
nets. and they came yelling and bran
dishing their Winchesters. The In
dian agent retreated to his second story
and concealed himself beneath the bed.
Thomson remained seated with his feet
against the rail of the porch, and calm
ly observed the advancing whiriwind
of painted bodies, eagles feathers. and
fluttering blankets.
The boy from West Point initiated
Thomson. He knew that if on their
return to the post the famous Indian
fighter should give a good account of
him to the old officers, his reputation
would be instantly and pleasantly es-
tablished. That was allowing. of
course, that they ever did return to
the post. So he kept his feet on the
railing and pulled at his cigar. The
indians fell off their ponies in front of
the scout. and their chief men began to
boast, and to threaten him, while the
young braves kept up a wild and nerve
racking chorus of whhops and yells.
Thomson related what followed in
this way:
Il was talking to old Red Wolf. and
telling him what would happen if he
let loose against the settlers. / was
talking fast. for they were sure enough
starting on the war path, and knew If
they weren't stopped at the start. the
few of us at Fort Sill couldn't stop
them after they got going l was
threatening him with the whole Uni
ted States army, and trying to make
him hear me. when the youngster from
West Point turned his head towards
me and grinned, Thomson he said,
who's your fat friend?'
He had his hands in his belt and
his cigar in his mouth, and he spoke
so quiet that l couldn't make out what
he meant. but he was looking behind
me. so / turned and looked too. An
old chief, weighing about three hun
dred pounds, had slipped off his pony
and crept up behind me. and was point
ing his Winchester at full cock just
back of my ear. When I turned my
head the muzzle punched me in the
cheek. Now. what I say is. that any
man that knows he's got to die can be
cool and funny about it himself. and
let on he don't care. but man who can
be cool and funny when his friend has
got to die is a damned brave man.
For the benefit of those who want to
know what happened after tina. I can
only tell them that Red Wolf inter-
fered in behalf of Thomson, and that
he and the lieutenant were allowed to
return to Fort Sill, where for many
years after Thomson quoted the boy as
being the bravest man of his acquain-
lance.

What on earth have you been doing
my child?" exclaimed his terrified
mother.
Il ran over a big dog and took a
fall" explained Bobby.
Couldn't YOU see him and give him
the road?''
Yes, l say him and was turning out
out but when l got within about ten
feet of him 1 shut my eyes and before
l got 'em open again I'd run into him. -

shut your eyes for?''
Couldn't help it. Had to sneeZe.
If you think you can hold your eyes
open when the sneeze comes you just
try it some day"
If the reader thinks Bobby's excuse
was not a valid one, let him try it
some day when the sneeze comes. -
