COTTON CREPT
 SLOWLY UPWARD Opened Firm With Prices 1 to
 6 Points Higher BULLISH CROP REPORT Nearly All the Influences at Work Fa- vored Higher Market, Though
 English Cables Were a
 Prominent Factor.
BULLISH CROP REPORT

New York, June 10-The cotton market opened firm, with prices 1 to points higher, and pretty much all the rest Of the session crept slowly upward on small demand from the bear interest, light for eign buying increased bull support and slim offerings. Nearly all influences at work favored a higher market, though the chief factor at the start was the ca ble news. This reflected an increased de- mand for spot cotton at 1-32d advance and firmer ruling of futures through out the list. For a time the Wall street bear contingents opposed the improve ment by selling the August position, but for the most part the bears decided that discretion was the better part of valor and covered up. Predictions for bull ish weekly crop and weather report from Washington, with a dry weather map hardly served to instill confidence in bear circles Liverpool continued to advance after the New York market opened and Europe was a consistent buyer here. Complaints from the central belt that labor was scarce and abnormally high, from the western belt that rain was needed and from the eastern belt that lice and drouth were injuring cotton helped to strengthen the market as a whole. Promptly at noon the government report came to hand and proved quite as bullish as predicted and had the effect of stiffening the new crop months several points, and for the rest of the afternoon the course of the market was steadily upward. Late months led the summer positions in point of strength The mar ket was finally steady, net to 14 points higher

Age of the Brass Band.

"As antiquities go nowadays" says
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's, "the
brass band is a very ancient institution.
That is to say, its inventor died in 1894
at the age of eighty. There We're horns
before Adolphe Sax, to be sure, but not
such horns as we have now, for they
could not play every tune in every key.
They could not even play a scale in any
key. The very first band entirely Of
brass was organized in 1885, and !
doubt if any Of the instruments then
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. 1t
is only back to 17S3 when a full regi-
mental band of the British army con-
sisted of two oboeS two clarinets, two
horns and two bassoons. It must have
sounded even funnier than Tennyson's
famous combination of flute, violin and
Dassoon.'
GLOW long way we have come
since 1888 may be learned from the
ensemble of a first class modern band.
The modern band of forty-two pieces
has half as many oboes and bassoons
as the ancient band Of eight pieces sew
en- times as many clarinets and nine
times as many horns, to say nothing OF
the saxaphones. which are part clarinet
and part horn."

Odd Drinking Cups.

When every man got drunk and was
proud of it in olden days, much ingenu-
ity was expended in the construction
of queer and elaborate drinking ves-
sells, and many such are yet to be
found in museums. especially in Ger
many.
One preserved In a Berlin museum
represents Diana mounted on stag
and surrounded by hounds and hunts
men. The cup consists Of the hollow
body of the silver stag, the head OF
which is removable. The piece stands
fourteen inches high. 1t was made at
Augsburg in 1910. 1t is also an auto
mobile propelled by clockwork conceal
ed in the base.
Trick cups which drenched the unini-
tiated We're very popular Another va
riety contained wine and water in sep
arate compartments. The drinker who
did not know how to manage them
filled his mouth With water. though the
cup was apparently full of wine.
The glass with the fighting hares. in
the Same museum, belonged to Fried.
rich Wilhelm The hares represent
two of his ministers and boon compan
ions.-New York Hc"a!0

Don't Be a Pest.

If you can't oblige people in any 9TH
er way, you can at least let them alone.
Half the troubles of people are due to
idle and impudent interference in their
affairs. Half the time when you
make vigorous kick there is no kick
coming to you. One of the worst habits
people have is making each other un-
necessary trouble. Life is hard enough
at best. Don't be a pest. II you can't

brains of the business, the real money
making power in the house, Is none
other than their humble selves, poor
slaves that they are, tOiling for others

and the contents of the bottle lessen
these oppressed beings become pathet-

luxurious automobiles while the I'M

ANY one of these discontinued gentry

Among Linc0ln'S callers one morning
IN 1862 was a stranger seeking both
personal and official assistance from
the president and who brought with
him some letters laudlng his loyalty
that bore the signature of a former
governor of Maryland. Lincoln received
the stranger with some warmth that
was not chilled even when one of the
attaches. who had overheard the con-
versation. interrupted to explain that
the signature must have been forged,
for the reason that the Marylander
mentioned had been dead several years.
The stranger showed guilt in every fea-
ture. but Lincoln, suffused with that
pity for the lucklesS that was ever his.

Professor Turner declares that the
erection of the observatory on Mount
Hamilton sent up the value of land in
that region considerably. Accordingly,

telescope were built the value of land
in the ncighborhood would 20 up, an
nounccd a still larger telescope and
ordered two forty inch disks of glass
for the lens. The experiment succeed
ed admirably, and they were so well
satisfied with the rise in price which
followed on the mere announcement
$50 the story goes that they consider
ed it unnecessary TO proceed further
with the instrument. The two lenses
were produced and. not being claimed,
were left on the makers hands. the
result being that the favorable oppor-
tunity for their purchase was brought
to Mr.. Ycrkcs' attention. and he bought
them for the great telescope that bears
his name. This, at least, is Professor
Turner's version of the story.-ArgO-

Epson was presiding at meeting at
which speaker of wide reputation as
an orator and writer delivered an adj

save by reputation. The orator had
made but little progress when DR.. Up
sons attention was attracted by the
familiar form of the words and line of

forced upon him that he was listening
to his own production, delivered some
years previously in distant city. And
to the end the speaker spread out the
stolen goods as his own. While listen

would be ungracious for him to expose
the piracy. and when at the conclusion
he had to comment upon the address
he said he had followed the argument
