of the little cripple or sick one sparkle
joy as he sees the beautiful boquet
brought him by one of his companions
The flowers cheer him in his loneliness
and the thought that he is deprived of
the pleasure of other children is not so
bitter to him.
Just as flowers carry messages of
love in health and cheer in sickness, so
do they bring comfort and hope of a
blissful hereafter in death.
a flower loved or worn by dear
friend now laid to rest in the silent
tomb holds sacred memories and though
it be withered and faded it is very prec-
ious to US, and seems constantly to re-
mind US of hope of meeting our loved
one in heaven.
Who can measure the helpful inf1u-
ence of flowers in home, with their
memories to restrain and bless their
members in after years. A man who
has drifted into the paths of sin, has
become hard-hearted and without hope
in the world, and yet he may often in
his distress and degradation be touch
ed to the heart by the sight of one of
the flowers he used to see grow
ing in his old home and as his thoughts
wonder back to the time when he was
pure as the flowers and played around
his mothers knee, he is stimulated to
higher aims and better life.
How dreary this world would be
without flowers and how cherries our
homes The blessed mission of flowers
is to promote happiness. The life of the
discouraged, heart broken and bereaved
is made pleasanter by a gift of flowers
for they carry the sympathy and en-
couragement of loving friends that
cannot be suitably expressed in any
other way. The imagery of the bible
IN strongest language testifies to the
helpful mission of flowers as evidenced
in Christ's diploma, ''Ye shall know
them by their FRUITS" Do men gather
grapes Of thorns or figs of thIstles,'
and his watchful care in Consider the
lilies Of the fields, how they grow they
toll not, neither do they spin; yet I
say unto you, that even Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one
of these"
The sweet beautiful flowers were
created for our happiness and use and
they are Gods good gift to men.
Let US learn, then. lesson from the
flowers, and choose the sweet beau
tiful and true things, that our lives
like the flowers shall honor our Maker,
and cheer, help and bless mankind.

Now watch the republican fxers
make fight to keep the democrats
and populists from getting together
at Beloit. Already they ares preading
more lies and starting more unbound
ed 'rumors" than could be followed
down and disproven in six months.
The populist or democrat who is de
celved thereby is not wise" If any
man has undertaken the job of keep
ing them apart for republican money,
the populist and democratic delegates
should see to it that he is thrown out
without a chance to earn his money.

Ever notice that when republican
wishes to take a whack at trust he
invariably recommends depressing the
laboring people by taking away their
beloved "protection. You know the
high tariff is not to benefit the mil
lionaire manufacturers, but is solely
for the protection of the laboring man
and the farmer. Strange isn't it that
our republican friends want to take
away the laboring mans "protection"
just because some rapaciouS trust re-
fuses to be good.

THE MISSION OF FLOWERS.

ALICE mabel mOrsS.
Flowers. in all ages, have delighted
the hearts of mankind. As children,
the ancients explored the corners and
slopes of the fields and woods for flow
ers and carefully watched their germi-
nation, growth and blossoms, and when
they become men and women, flowers
still held first place in their affections.
Children still hunt the fields and
woods for the first plants of spring, and
they take great delight in childish
freedom over meadows, prairies and
among the shady trees, in search Of
the first violets, daisies and butter
cups, and in making chains and wreaths
of flowers On May day they decorate
and dance around the May pole, care
free crew of boys and girls together.
For many days they have been making
May baskets, which they I'LL with the

 .Sn Cotton.

} New York November 7.--The trio Of Englishmen, Messrs. Buston, Neill and Allison, whose apparent business 1t is to overestimate the size of the American crop, and deprecate its value in tine in- terests of foreign consumers have now all been heard from and the effect of their Illumination upon the market seems to have Leen exhausted. As against this, the United States census report indicates a crop of under ten million bales. The stock of American cotton afloat and in store at Liverpool is 1o8,0O0 bales less than last year, the visible supply is 160 coo bales less than last year. and the amount American cotton coming in sight this week is approximately 60,0O0 bales less than last year. Facts will tell, the cotton market has shown a steadier un- dertone today than at any time since the 1umblng of Mir. Buston's estimate com inenced to be heard. The worst seems to be over. Southern holders, having due regard to the facts of the case, will not part with their cotton, and specuia- tive sellers of paper contracts in New York will probably have an advancing market to reckon with shortly

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS DECLINE
Opened Firm at an Advance of
 3 to 9 Points
RECEIPTS ARE FALLING OFF
There Was a Final Rally Owing to Fears That the Market Had Been oversold-Buying Led to
 Slight Recovery.

New York, November 1.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 3 to 9 points, following the unexpectedly strong showing of the Liverpool cables. This was followed by further cables showing still greater improvement, and houses with foreign connections were also heavy buyers during the early trad ing. In addition to this it was noted that the receipts were showing Q decided fall- ing .off that the end-week statements were sure to prove decidedly bullish, and that sentiment which had become very bearish was consequently showing a rt1a- terial change. Toward noon, however the bears made fresh raid on values, led by a prominent Philadelphia party. Their operations proved somewhat suc- cessful for time. owing to the con- tinued favorable weather reported for the belt and runners that the falling off in receipts was likely to prove no more than temporary. The statistical position when finally published proved quite as bullish as anticipated, but for a time ex- erted no appreciable effect on the trad ing. From the opening advance prices at one time showed decline of to 12 points.
 Following this there was a final rally, due to fears that the market had been oversold, and to q general movement to cover by the room element, who were disposed to accept their profits rathe. than carry their commitments over night. This buying led to recovery from the low point and the close was finally steady, with quotations net 2 points low CT to points higher.

Murphx Q co.,g cotton Letter.

New York. November 1.-The pre- vniling sentiment in cotton circles Is against an improvement in values, although temporary rallies are to be looked for. The movement is picking up some, but not in an extravagant fashion, it is true but receipts have been gaining enough. and the big gap between the daily improvement movement and That of the cores bonding period last year has been filled up of late to an extent that leads to the hope of again showing an excess over last year, as was the case not many weeks ago. The estimate of Neill is still influencing the minds of spectators who had contemplated the market, while the ginners' returns indi- eating q crop not over 100000 bales Is accepted as too absurd to deserve con sideration. In short, to broaden the mar ket and revive speculation It locks hs If prices must find a lower level. Today-s opening figures were to points higher. but most of the gain was sooE lost. Lead ing firms bought one moment and sold the next The weather was mild in the belt and generally fair The clique is understood to be carrying 100000 bales of January contracts and the dumping of the big load Is feared by cautious traders. Port receipts for the day are 45000 bales, against 56,O00 last year.

 ran t2 Co.
 New York. November 7.-Again we re- port a new low level reached in the future market December sold at about two points lower than yesterday and other options lower as well. We say Decem- Der because that option seemed to lead the decline. As selling took place in Decem- Der, January would break, then other options followed easily. The ceiling in December was due to the offerings of ac- tual cotton from the south Hedge selling continued from the opening of the market. At first there was an advance due to higher prices in Liverpool and less cot ton in sight this week than had been ex- pected. Instead of GOO bales there was but 461, 900 in sight. All this brought in shorts but the market failed to hold at S14, and in fact above 10, March, lot of cotton was sold Liquidation did not ap- pear to be over. Early buyers compelled to sell and this brought about a sort of semi-panic during the afternoon March took a tumble to S.01 on the early after noon break in December, all tins time New Orleans had grown weaker and weaker, finally carrying prices to the lowest point of the movement there as well as here. It looked very much as though January people had their hands full. There was no frosts to help them and after trying to hold Liverpool and bring the shorts here to cover, the at tempt appeared to fail utterly. It's cot ton, too much cotton on dull market. The January accumulators here in New ork have tied things up until the trade has been driven out of January and in fact driven out the entire market.
 Prices have been allowed to move nat urally and the invitable result of this manipulation is break that carries values away below the legitimate figure. We have endeavored to point out the real trouble in the cotton situation without doing any one an injustice. Now it's be- coming evident just what has been done by the January manipulation. There is still big line to liquidate and this forced on the market, one might as well at tempt to reason with a whirlwind as to set limits on the decline. The market should be a purchase on every decline now unless the holders of January should throw their line overheard.
