The cotton ssed Oh mills Of Texas
are getting moro tor their products
this year than ever before In their
history.
There has.been big boom In this
trade during the past two months,
and early every part Of the mills
out 70 t Ii selling at the highest prices
on re cord.
This La especially true of the prod
ucts sold as feedstuffs, such as cotton
seed bulls, meal and cake. Hulls are
worth $3.50 per ton at Houston,
meal $3.50 and cske s26.
Since the fret Of November bulls
have advanced $3.50 per to,i, meal and
cake have gained about me same
| amount.
The advance 10 due to a general
scarcity OF food products In this
country. Wheat, corn and oats are
very high, and live stock men are
using cotton seed products ss a sub
stitute wherever possible. This has
made an enormous demand for the
output OF the oil mills throughout the
country.
There are about 125 cotton seed
mills in Texas, and they are all doing
rushing business just at this time.
1t was especially fortunate for them
that lthe domestic. demand came on
just as is did, as the export orders this
season have teen the lightest in sew
eral years. AS rule the export sales
are depended upon for two thirds OF
| the business.
A peculiar condition OF the present
market Is the fact that the cotton
seed itself has not advanced recently,
but on the contrary Is selling at lower
prices' than those recorded early In
the season. This is probably due to
the fact that. competition was very
active when the season opened, and
buy ers bought seed at extrsvagant
prices,

A Modest Renuest.

To judge from an incident reported
in the Washington correspondence of
the New York Tribune, the department
of agriculture sometimes appears from
a distance like big department store.
During the season when members of
congress send out seeds one of the
packages found its way back to the
sender, accompanied by a note from
the farmer to whom it had been ad-
dressed.
''My dear sir" wrote the farmer, 81

the seeds, but my eldest daughter, Ma
tilda, is going to marry the doctor
down to the village next month, and

and going there to live. If we do, the
seeds won't be much good, as we
shan't have a garden; so if you could
change them for some stockings (No.

WEDDING sUPERsTlTIoNS.

The bride should not fail to shed a
few tears on her wedding day. 1t is
an omen of good luck in the future.
1t is unlucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at one
door and leave after the ceremony by
another door.
The bride should always cut the first
piece Of her wedding cake and pour out
the first glass of wine for her guests
If there are not too many.
If the bride drops her handkerchief
on the wedding day and the bride
groom picks it up, it is a sign that in
the future he will play second fiddle.
1t is said to be unlucky to tie shoes
to any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away, but
it is lucky to throw an old shoe after
the bride as she enters the carriage.
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore
most if she wishes to be happy,
healthy, ETC., in the future, and she
should always be the first to call her
husband by name
After the wedding breakfast and re-
ception the bride should be careful to
throw away and lose all the pins, if
there are any about her. The brides
maids should not keep the pins them
selves or they will retard their chances
of marriage.

A Dinerent Sort of Leather.

A Pennsylvania physician tells a
story about his servant which reminds
one In vague way of the skinny side
out and the woolly side in" rhyme. He
had just hired servant who, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, had some Of
the "ould dart" still clinging to her
boots.
One morning he noticed his office
windows were rather dirty, and, cali
ing Bridget, he instructed her to clean
them before he returned At the same
time he told her that he would stop
and purchase new chamois skin and
send it home, and with this she was to
clean the windows.
After he had gone his rounds he re-
turned to his Office. Glancing at the
windows, he found them thickly
streaked with grease. He called Bridg-
ct, and the following colloquy took
place:
Bridget, didn't 1 tell you to clean
the windows?"
Eyes, sor."
''And didn't tell you to use the new
chamoisr'
Eyes, sor."
"Well, did you use itF'
"Sure I did sor."
Let me see the chamois," said the
doctor, and Bridget promptly brought
it. Then for the first time he learned
that his wife had left the house half
hour before him and had sent home
some tripe.

Sinister Motixes.

Two men-William Jones and John
Smith-were neighbors and deadly en-
emies. They often crossed swords In
court and out of it, and Jones, being
what might be called more clever than
Smith, invariably got the better of the
encounter. In the end so cowed was
Smith that the slightest move on the
part of Jones made him nervous and
suspicious, and with the remark, II
wonder what object he has in thisT
he called up all his reserve faculties to
combat the fresh attack which poor
Jones never contemplated.
One day friend called on Smith and
greeted him with:
well, old man, have you heard the
news?"
NO" said Smith. What newsY
Zones is dead. He died last night
at midnight" replied the other.
Smith paused, drew a hard breath,
raised his hand to his forehead and

A Model SURVEYOR.

The Kingman Leader-C Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man county, Kan, who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them if he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with cord that was just
long enough to allow him to step one
fifth of rod each time, and thus hob
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him in
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader Courier, was made of raw
hide, so that when he was travelling
through the grass of a morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
and stretch nearly foot, and so his
steps were much longer of a morning
than they were Of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having his land surveyed in the morn
ing would have much more in his
quarter section than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon.
These old surveys and corners then es-
tablished cause annoyance even to this
day.

bleeding by Bowshot.

That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes, and especially by
the Papuan negroes.
When one of their physicians be-
comes convinced that it is necessary
to bleed patient, he goes several feet
in front of him and then, drawing his
bow, he fits sharp pointed arrow to
it and after careful aim fires the ar
row into the vein which he desires to
OPEN The arrow, it is said, invariably
goes straight to the mark, and the
thorn or splinter of glass with which
it is tipped does the work as success
fully as lancet.
Moreover, the patients never show
the slightest fear, since they are con-
yinced that from the moment the ar
rows pierce their veins they will begin
to recover,

contained great Newfoundland dog.
Hitherto cat and dog had been on
friendly terms, but now pussy showed
much anxiety lest the dog might harm
her black pet especially. At last she
seized it by the neck and bore it be-
meath the lowest piece of furniture,
where the dog could not possibly crawl,
but she merely mewed to the others to
follow her as best they could. The
black kitten owed all this care to its
color, more happy in this respect than

friends when that man you see over

way through the crowd, grasped Reed
by the hand and said effusively: Hello,
Tom, old boy! How do you dor
"Reed responded in a manner that
was more of a shake for the man
than for his hand and went on with
his talk. When our friend over there
had edged out Of the crowd, some one
said: You didn't seem to be happy

FLOWING WITH ELEPHANTS
Barnum's Reply to the Farmer Who

Barnum's Reply to the Farmer Who
Asked Whether 1t Would Pay.
1t may be said of P. T. Barnum that
he was the major domo or lord of
laughter and fun, the protean dispenser
of amusement. How well he became
known through this function one curl
Gus incident certifies. Some years be-
fore he died an obscure person in some
remote part of Asia wrote letter,
which he dropped in the postoffice near
him, directed to mfr. Barnum, Ameri-
ca" The letter reached its destination
without an hours delay. The great
Snowman unaffectedly enjoyed being
known from the very beginning of his
celebrity, and when he found his celeb
rity was tremendous factor in his sue
cess he did everything that he could
think of to extend the exploitation of
his name. This was not to nourish
vain imaginings or because he felt ex-
alted. 1t was to promote business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, he was fond of put
ting something that suggested show.
Queerly marked cattle, the sacred COW
or an elephant was frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his fields.
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in plowing on. the sloping hill
where it could be plainly seen by the
passengers on the New Haven and
Hartford railroad, an agricultural inno-
vation that he knew would get notice
of some sort in every newspaper in the
country. 1t was even said that he re-
ceived letters from farmers far and
wide asking how much hay one ele-
phant ate and if it was more profitable
to plow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen. His replies were in
variably frank and were of this pur-
port: If you have large museum in
New York and great railway sends
trains full of passengers within eye
shot of the performance, it will pay,
and pay well, but if you have no such
institution then horses and oxen will
prove more economical.-Joel Benton in

Thrifty Squanderers.

When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1905, the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
of the conqueror by all sorts of fat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set in an artificial
garden. floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to sea during the prog
ress of the feast. At the conclusion of
the banQuet-again in imitation of An
tony and Cleopatra-all the costly gold
and silver plate was flung into the sea.
This little tribute of honor to the en-
peror was not so expensive as 1t seem
ed, for the floating garden was sur
rounded with nets, and the plate was
subsequently recovered.

A little girl was spending the sum-

and one morning as she played upon
the veranda Of the hotel where her
mother was stopping she heard a
lengthy conversation upon the fashions
Of the day. and the absolute necessity
of stylishness in dress if one hoped to
be success in society. One lady went
so far as to say that stylishness was
far more important than beauty.
