opened in irregular form, with August
points lower; December ten points higher
and other months unchanged to five
points higher. The depression In August
contracts was due entirely to European
selling. The later deliveries were vigor-
ously supported by the syndicate brokers
and by room bulls. All the forenoon
trading was very active and general Fol-
lowing the call the near positions became
strong with September up to $500, near

WHAT BECOMES OF OLD HATS.


"Shall send the cid hat home,
sir?" asked the clerk in the big fur
nishing store. The customer, who
had just bought handsome Derby
and slipped it on his head, looked at
the discarded article, says the New
York Herald.
NO." he said, carelessIy. 81 guess
not. It's all shiny around the edges.
Needn't send it. 1t would just stay
in the box and take up room in my
closet, for I'd never wear it again."
Cigar money" softly said the
clerk to a friend, as the customer
hurried away.
"What becomes OF the hat now?n
asked the friend.
1T buys me cigars" said the clerk,
complacently. 'In some stores it
wouldn't do me any good. 1t and all
other hats not taken away by Gus
toners would be given to the drivers
of the delivery wagons. But here,
the house let's its clerks make little
extra money.

come around to this store, looking
for old hats. I'll give him all have

average of Is cents apiece for them.
get dozen or more hats in the
course of the week. and, you see, this
keeps me in smoking material.
''When the bushelman has made
the rounds of all the stores where
they let him do business he takes the
hats over to shop on the east side.
There they are taken to pieces; that
is, the silk ribbon and the silk band
are taken off and the sweatband is
removed. New material is put on,
the hat is thoroughly cleaned, and if
you can tell it from new you are a
wonder.
"The leather for the swaziland
and the very small quantity of silk
for the band and the rim edges cost
only few cents. When the hat is
placed in the store windows it will
sell for two dollars. Many of these
refurbished hats are sent south and
sold to the hands on the planta-
tions.
I'm addition to this industry. the
old clo' man has field of his own.
He win stop you on the street and
offer to buy all your old cast-ofi
suits. He pays you a ridiculously
small price, and you take it, for you
would throw the stuff away did he
not buy it. Trousers and coats and
other articles receive treatment like
the hats, and when they arrive in the
south they make very good show
ing and command prices which leave
the men engaged in the business q
handsome profit.

With reaper, the size of the
sheaves or bundles can be regulated
by the driver, and are set off beyond
the space required for the horses to
walk in, 30 no grain is threshed out
by horses or machine going over it,
an would be the case with mower.
The bundles were turned over once,
and at the same time thrown into
windows. OF course the vines being
nearly ripe, they did not have to
remain in the sun as long as if they
had been green. The vines were drawn
in the barn and piled not deeper
than six feet, and not tramped, so
there would be no danger of heating.
The next operation was threshing,
which, at first, presented an impede
ment, but which was overcome. A
regular grain separator was first
used, but it broke fully half the peas,
even when the concave teethwer out.

cient pattern, was next tried, but

THE COW PEA AGAIN.


While every other impor mt grain
crop has machinery especially con-
structed for harvesting it, the cow
pea is, for the most part, still harvest
ed by the primitive manipulating
method. This necessarily makes the
seed quite expensive, and the usual
high price of the cow pea stands very
much in the way of its being among
the first and leading crops on nearly
all southern farms. The farmer may
be pretty well convinced of the-value
of cow peas, either as q fertilizer or
forage plant, and would save his own
seed and grow more of them if hands
could always be had to pick them, and
it could be done at reasonable cost.
The seedmen will ask him 81 to $3.50
a bushel for the seed, so the farmer
generally tries to make himself think
that perhaps the corn he has in his
own barn, and for which he can not
get more than thirty-five cents, is as
good to plant after all.
Cow meas have been steadily ,raininc
in favor. and each succeeding wear q
larger area is sown; Init the saving Of
the seed has been the real problem.

Bank Presidep mel had come out
of his troubles, calm and uncomplain-
ing No one knew of any scar on his
conscience. Business men are not
supposed to have such appurtenances.
Often it is called indigestion, but Col.
Everard Newsome did not mistake it
and dose it. He faced it and kept
silent.
This morning several friends had
been in, talking of their summer out
ings and business at one and the same
time. One went east because his wife
must have sea-bathing, and one went
north because his old father had hay
fever in August. Country houses were
open and everyone preparing for
fitting. Invitations here and there
were plentiful. He could have gone to
dozen house parties, camping out.
TO the Canadian lakes and the Adiron-
dack camps. But the scar on the colo
nel's conscience was more in evidence
than usual. 1t was almost an open
wound of late, for he could not forget
the past.
While he idly figured on scrap of
paper, alone in his Office, the screen
door OF the bank was pushed open and
young girl walked in. She had the
air of never having been in such q
place before, but Of lacking no cour-
age. Her dress was plain enough, a
spotless white muslin, such as young
girl would wear in small town on q
festive occasion. A mass of light curls
were tied by white ribbon under
broad leghorn hat. The face that 1t
half disclosed was both childlike and
noble, and the cashier, whose window
she looked into with large, calm eyes,
was startled at its instantly-to-be-
recognized expression.
II wish to see the president of the

that was the counterpart of his own,
quite as blond and calm.

of the desk. He actually stammered:

How many women of to-day could

how intimately the general health is re-
