Plant for II Big Cotton Crop.

Make ample provision for food
crops and then put every acre of land
that you can cultivate well, in cotton.
This has been our advice for many
years and each succeeding year adds to
our conviction of it's soundness.
If the harvest finds you well forti-
fled with corn, hay and other food
crops, there is "big money" in cotton
at almost any price; and what is bet

When Colonel Bryan saw there was
danger the Democrats would permit
the Cuban and Philippine amend
ments to go through, he frantically tele-
graphed number of his party friends
in the senate. They paid no attention
to him. Then Colonel Bryan wired an
appeal to Senator Allen to take up the
fight and get the Democratic leaders
to help him. Mr.. Allen did try to Sc
cure the cooperation of sufficient
number of Democrats to enable him
to talk the amendments to death, but
failed and was forced to telegraph Mr..
Bryan that there was no longer any
Democratic party in the senate.-Hai-

Workmen, in removing a cellar at
Poultney, Vermont. discovered a pit
seven feet square, in the centre of
which was stout iron post. Fastened
to the post was a heavy chain, to which
were attached pair of handouts and
near by lay heap of human bones.
The discovery is supposed to solve the
mystery of crime committed seventy
years ago. At that time day laborer,
Perry Borden by name, was very jeal-
Gus of his pretty young wife and in
1881 she suddenly disappeared. Her
husband said she had run away to Can
ada and no effort was made to find her
Borden himself left and followed the
sea for fifty years. In 1886 he return
ed and was town charge, and died
without ever having mentioned his
wife's name. He, doubtless, "went to
his reward" at last, as other murder
ers do.

A bill has been introduced in the
Illinois Legislature to tax bachelors to
build a spinsters' home. Perhaps if

the bill and the abolition of spinsters
by the matrimonial route.

The ghost of Mrs. Leutgert has been
seen in the sausage factory at Chicago;
where, what would have been her ashes
was consumed in the immense bologna
vat of the building according to the
unmerciful decree of her husband, sew
eral years ago. If the testimony of a
boy, a saloon keeper and some officers
who, EARNED cap-a-pie," saw "streaks
of light" may be received, the ghost is
a reality. But boys "see stars" and
whisky drinkers ''see snakes" and per-
turbed officers have visions when the
light is thrown on at times, that no.
body else can see. Beside, it is known
to tradition that sausage itself may
produce a phantasmagorial effect upon
the brain of man, but that no ghost
can rise from the minced meat of a
