NEW YORK, Feb. Il.-There was not much of market this morning. but cables were So satisfactory that prices have advanced 2a4 estimated at 33. 900. against 2s, 900 last year. In view of the holiday tomorrow, there was disposition to remain uncovered; in fact. the feeling was that we should witness a bet ter market because the bull forces are so pow erful that all attempts to dislodgs them have failed. There was not much of ma ket un- til after the first hour when Houston reported small receipts for tomorrow which lifted the market points on increased dealings. Flu lures at Liverpool were higher by point. The great feature of the crop this year thus far has been the immense exports. This has been attracting no end of attention and is un- doubtedly the great bull point of the campaign thus far.
 Up to this time Europe has taken 475e. 900 bales against 4,o74.ooo last year. while Great Britain alone has taken 232i 900, against 2. .o55 900 last year. There is no use Ignoring this movement. It is important and must be credited to the excellent trade con ditions abroad. Such big amount of actual cotton means a healthy situation and that the staple will be needed for a long time to come. Hence we find that many of the best export houses in this country whose interest 1t Is to take the bear side and cry prices down are quietly expressing belief in a bull market ahead, even with big crop

King Leopold is an ardent devotee
of the automobile. In just thirteen
minutes exactly every morning when
he is at Laeken he traverses the dis
lance between there and his palace in
Brussels. There is a story OF his
chauffeur being recently threatened
with arrest by jealous police officer
not because Of the danger to foot pas
sengers, the courtly officer FASTENED to
explain. but because the speed threat
ened to cause an accident to the king
himself.
At the age of sixty-eight King Leo
pold ii. is one Of the gayest young fell
lows in EUROPE. He married at the
age of eighteen Archduchess Marie
Henriette of Austria, and her troubles
with her royal husband began on the
honeymoon. His friendship with one
of his wlfe's retlnue was apparent to
all, and Leopold took no pains to con-
ceal his infatuation. Ever since then his
ministers and family have been both
cred constantly to keep the old man out
Of mischief. They do not succeed well.
There is no telling when he is going TO
break out next.
When the lines have been drawn too
tight on him in Brussels, Leopold
throws of the cares Of state and HES
himself across the border to Paris.
There he has his fling before listening
to the dignifed councillors OF state who
post after him.
AS to the reports of abdication. it Is
difficult to get at their source. 1t is
known in his own country that King
Leopold is getting tired of politics, and
the event is not at all improbable.
Prince Albert, King Leopold's neph-
ew, is twenty-seven years old. A year
and a half ago he married Duchess
Elizabeth of Bavaria, who is one year
his Junior. Theirs was a real love
match.
There are those who think Prince
Albert is yet unprepared to rule, and
that the king will wait until his pupil
has acquired more knowledge in the
art of being a constitutional monarch.

King Leopold of Belgium. gayest of
monarchs, whose many escapadvs have
been a scandal in Europe for years, is
at last in serious trouble. His present
difficulties are due to his subjects, who
so far forgot "the divinity that doth
hedge about king" as to chase his
royal highness through the streets of
Brussels, threatening bodily harm. On
top of the mobbing comes the report
that Leopold is to abdicate his throne
in favor of his nephew, Prince Albert.
in alarming feature of the situation
in Belgium is the suspicion that pre-
walls as to the loyalty of the army to
the King. The rank and file of the army
are believed TO be in sympathy with
the present Socialistic Republican
movement. These things, it is alleged,
have made King Leopold weary of his
job.
King Leopold is an up to date mon
arch. He has always been q hard
worker, and, though he is no longer
young and has a white beard of pa
triarchal length, his alertness is that

THE happiest man in the world
is the everyday go-as-you-please
fellow without any frills. The
man who works and pays his
bills, and has the respect and
confidence of his fellow men.
The man who lays aside little
money as he pursues the even
pathway to the goal and looks
with due regard to the welfare of
his soul. The man who always
has sufficient food and clothing
for himself and family, all the
necessities and some of the lux
uries of life, but does not try to
get a corner on the output of the
earth and own all sthe transport
tation and navigation companies
contained therein. A man who
is free in the fullest sense of the
word and is a slave neither to
ambition norlsociety. N He never
expects to wear out the follow
ing part of his pants int the SEN
ate chamber or on a seat in the
stock exchange, and when he
slides into his clothes in the
morning does not waste an hour
or two trying to select the proper
tint of socks, suspenders and
necktie that will blend with the
general effect. He earns his
meat and bread either by the
perspiration of his manly brow
or by the grey matter of his
brain; he eats three meals per
diem and enjoys what he eats
and is not compelled to sit up
half the night doping himself
with patent medicines to cure
dyspepsia or putting poultices on
his conscience. He corrects his
children if they need it regard
less of the fashion. He splits
his own kindling, milks his own
cow and is not afraid to look the
tax gatherer in the face. :. This
kind of a man is happy because
he does not spend the best years
of his life looking for something
that is about four sizes too large
for his callibre and consequently
is not embittered by contem-
plating a past that is full of
shattered hopes and blighted am
bition.

Only Indian Paper Dying.

The Cherokee Advocate, the
only newspaper printed for In
dams in the Indian language, is
soon to be abolished. 1t has
been published at Tahlequah,
l. T., for the past fiftylyears and
prior to that time at New Echota,
Ca, where it was established in
1880. Lack of funds in the
Cherokee treasury was respon-
sible for the discontinuance of
this publication, which a few
years ago was powerful medium
among the full blood Cherokees.
The paper is printed at the ex-
pense of the Cherokee government,
has its own modern plant, office
building, etc. The type was cast
in special molds, and the molds
were destroyed. Today its cir
culation is less than 300, and all
of those are deadheads. The
editor and compositor are paid

come is placed, cables the Havana cor
respondent of the Herald, at $1S.C00,-
600, the same as during the military
occupation. This provides a surplus of
three millions.
Confidence is steadily increasing il
President Palma's ability to cope witt
the situation. The senate bill provid.
ing for a national loan of $35, 900, 900,
which went to the house of representa-
tives two weeks ago, is still in the
hands of the house committee.
The sugar planters strongly favor
the $4,000, 900 loan in aid of agricul,
ture,f but are Indifferent regarding the
proposed loan of $751; 600, 900 to pay
back salaries to the army. Members
of the ~disbanded army, on the con-
trary, support the larger loan, but are
lukeWarm concerning the smaller.
1t is generally believed that the in
terest and principal of the smaller loan
could be taken care of under present
conditions, but that the payment of the
larger loan would require an addition

stamp tax. 4. 49, ~
