The only kind of circulation
that counts to the newspaper and
the advertiser is the paid up cir
culation. The class of people who
take the papers and pay for them
in advance are the best people in
the community, and they are the
people the advertisers want to
reach because they generally have
the cash to pay for what they
want.

impressions of his last effort have

TEDDY, THE HERO.


Now it's Teddy 0gain. After a
short rest his press agents have re-
sumed their labors, and the man
who licked the Spaniards before
the troops came up to lend assist
ance, promises to be kept before
the public more than ever in his
fayorite role Of hero.
Teddy killed a mountain lion
last Sunday, in the wilds of Colo
rado, so long telegraphic message
reads, his trusty rifle barking just
in the nick of time to save the life
Of DR.. Webb, one of the hunting
party, OF course the guides and
mountaineers, who we're with the
party, were 80 unaccustomed TO the
spring Of lion that their muscles
became paralyzed and refused to
act. The strenuous" Teddy was
the only man of nerve. These old
men Of the mountains, who trapped
"lions," that are no bigger than a
good sized house. cat, long before
the redoubtable Teddy was born,
would have permitted the beast to
tear Dr. Webb to pieces in their
fear.
Not so with Teddy.
The Rough Rider set his teeth
firmly and, measuring the distance
with his eye, in an instant pressed
the trigger, sending a bullet that
INST the lion 10 midair and crushed
the brute's backbone. Teddy was
never known to miss and the fero-
cious lion lay dead at his feet.

ticu.arly among the shorts owing to better
cables from Liverpool than expected. The
March option sod up to $3.50, May, $S.5S,
July, $3.50 and August $500. The demand
here was supplied by commission houses
and the largest spot cotton interests were
heavy sellers. This caused a slump, and
when late cables reported a loss of all
the early advance at Liverpool, with the
closing price showing a net decline of
about l point, there was break here to
about last nights prices. There after the
market followed an irregular course,
though finally stiffening up on a fresh
scare of oversoid pit interests and the APP
pearanee of outside buying orders. Ru-
mors that Neill was to come out to-mor-
row with bullish circular in New Orleans
and Liverpool intensified the alarm of
shorts and encouraged increased support
from the bull element and commission in
terests. Trading was active, with senti-
ment once more generally favoring higher
prices. August proved to be the strongest
option on the list and led the upward
movement. Investment support in the
last hour was very active. At the close
the market was very steady with prices
showing rise of 9q15 points for the day.
