The English market was up 4@5 points
when a rise Of only 1q2 points had been ex-
pected. The better ruling Of the stock
market seemed to give color to the strike
reports. The advance, however, failed sig
nally to enthuse the speculative public, and
after room shorts had covered the whole
market slowly eased on under pressure Of
long cotton from commission houses and
bear selling. Working against the cables
were fine weather reports from the entire
belt and an Improvement In the private
crop reports. There were few orders to
buy cotton from the foreign contingent
after the call and the south, as a general
quite certain In its mind that the weak
south had been favorable to late cotton,
and when the regular ~overnment report
made its appearance at midday It showed
quite the conditions existing. The scalping
element sold freely on the report and forced

offered little resistance to selling pressure,
and while there were slight rallies later In
the session on proht-taking by room trad

prices net 244 points lower. Total sales
were at 10000 bales. Reports
from southern spot markets told OF less
active demand and some disposition on the
part of the holders to grant the concession
demanded by exports and domestic spin

That Awful Boy Jones,

Fifty or more years ago that awful
boy Jones" was the torment of Queen
Victoria's life, and his short career in
public contains a mystery which would
try the mettle of Sherlock Holmes.
He was BARRIERS apprentice who in
some unexplained way discovered a
passage int Buckingham palace, with
which he alone was acquainted. When
be was first found trespassing, he was
gently admonished and sent home.
Soon after he was encountered again
In the palace. He would not tell how
he obtained access. Again he was sent
home, and again he reappeared.
Once he calmly admitted that he had
been lodging in the palace for fort
night. He had laid snug during the
day, sleeping in the royal apartments,
and at night had wandered from room
to room, helping himself to the food
left over from royal repasts. He had
seen the queen repeatedly and indeed
had never been far from her..
The matter was considered so serious
that the boy was summoned before a
special meeting of the privy council.
He refused to give any account of his
secret. Soon after he disappeared, and
1t is supposed that he was removed I'm.
der state protection.

They then compared notes and, find

on him and asked for an explanation.
II don't see why any Of you should
be dissatisfied" he replied. 1--WE en-

Presently the maid quietly withdrew

to lock up and depart.

Ma didn't christen me 'Ermione for to

1t is q curious fact in the history Of
nations that only those which have had
to struggle the hardest for an exist
ence have been highly successful. Al
a rule the same thing is true Of men.
One would think that it would be a
great relief to have the bread and but
ter problem solved by ones ancestors
20 that one might devote all his ener-
gies and time to the development Of
the mental and spiritual faculties. But
this is contrary to the verdict Of his
tory and the daily experience Of the
world. The strugglers, those born to a
heritage Of poverty and toll and not
those reared in the lap Of fortune,
have, with few exceptions, been the
leaders of civilization, the giants of
the race.-Success.

Freaks Of the Tariff.

The following amusing details Of the
freaks Of the custom house are told in
the Munchener Zeitung: A German gen.
tleman returning from southwest Afri-

Tanga to Genoa the animal was con-
veyed gratis. Thence to the, Swiss
frontier 15d. was charged on it as "a
bird" The st. Gothard railway Of

and charged 7s, while on the Eastern
Swiss railway 1t became mere Apack-

Wurttemberg the animal was passed
free, but at Stuttgart it again became

l was dashing along, confident that
the rhin> must be far ahead, when 10
wanji whistled. l could see nothing till
he pointed out the brute lying quite
close to me. The sun beating on her
mud caked hide made it blend so per-
fectly with the red earth and yellowish
grass that l should have walked right
up without seeing her. She sprang to
her feef We both fired. She made
short dash toward US, but thought bet
ter of Il and rushed down small slope
on to fat bed of short reeds. Here
she turned again and detied us. Again
the heavy guns roared. She spun round
and round several times, staggered, re-
covered and dashed off only to stop,
however, under the next tree. The .303s
cracked, and in wild chorus of thank
full yells she toppled> over, rose again,
spun round and finally subsidized into
the grass. We went up quite close to
finish her. She fought hard to rise and
have last charge. but the little pencil
like bullet again sped on its sad errand,
and the game old relic of prehistoric
times breathed her last. We were sad
men as we gazed upon her grotesque.

such blatant upstatt in the presence
of the pachyderIns when one thinks of
the unbroken lire that dates back un-
changed into the unthinkable ages of
the past.-Ewart Grogan in Outing.
