Not in the Contract.

Speaking of the Missouri river and
its habit of changing it's course re-
marked the man in the macintosh,
says the Chicago Tribune, reminds
me of a curious thing that happened
to me once while l was hunting along
that river. l got into my skiff to row
to the other side, and you may believe
me or not, just as you please, but the
blamed old stream cut a new channel
while 1 was doing it, and when 1 got
across l found 1 was on the same side
l had left
There was silence for a few mo-
ments, and then the man in the cor
duroy suit spoke up.
1T seems to me l have heard some
thing like that before" he said. 81
don't doubt the story, of course, but
I'd like to have it explained a little
If you found yourself on the same side
when you landed the river bank must
have followed you. Then how can
you be said to have got across?"
And if the river bank followed
YOU" said the man with his feet on
the table, at seems plain to me thar
the other side must have been NOV
ing away from you all the time. Of
course, l can't doubt that you rowed
across, but l think you ought to ex-
plain how it was"
Gentlemen" said the man in the
macintosh. with some irritation of
manner "if there's any explanation
you'll have to think it up. 1 don't
know of any. 1 am merely telling you
the facts
There was another brief pause, and
then some one in the group passed the
hat around.
The collection amounted to six cents,
one button and one beer check. This
was handed in silence to the narrator
of the story, and the assembly broke
up.

Not Musical.

John Smith was the kindest, best
tempered of men, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Everybody spoke we'll of him.
When he died he went straight to
heaven. At the door of the abode of
bliss he was met by st. Peter, who well
coined him warmly.
Pray, walk up" said St. Peter, 1--WE
are really pleased to meet you"
John started to go up the stairs, when
he heard some music.
What music is that?" asked John.
hesitatingly.
"Oh, thatt" answered St. Peter.
why, the angels, ever so many of
them, are playing on their harps with
the golden strings
do they keep it up?" inquired John.
anxiously.
Certainly they do, for there is neith-
er-day nor night here" said the saint.
They keep on harping all the time"
John halted on the steps. What is
going on below?" he inquired.
why, there is the furnace there, and
a concert hall, and maybe variety
show"
ANY music?" asked John.
Music? Well you may call it mu-
sic, but it does not amount to much
There you are not forced to listen to it.
if you don't want to-" was ST. Peters
reply.
Then John Smith walked down sew
eral. steps and said: II think I'll take
my chances. below You see, when on
earth lived in a fiat in Brooklyn. and
in the next apartment, with only a thin
partition between. there was a man
who played pianola all the time. and
it made me so weary of life that / was
glad when 1 passed away. No more
music in mine"

A Fish storr.

We find it in-of all unlikely places
"a dingy, time yellowed volume of
the long since dead and gone Con-
gressional Globe, says the Hartford
Courant, Gen. Lewis Cass told il
to the Senate the afternoon of Dec.
p, 1854. The bill UP was bill
10 create a Court of Claims, and the
Michigan Senator had spoken (much
more briefly than was his WON'T in
its favor. He had asked his brother
Senators to consider the inevitable
effect of the department environment
and atmosphere upon the auditing Of
ficer-his confidence in his own infalli-
bility, his resentment should a daring
claimant appeal from his decision and
superior authority override him.
Before l take my seat" said the
old General. Il will mention an in
stance to show the singular operation
of the influence to which 1 have re-
ferred on officers in the Treasury De-
partment. This was the instance:
Toward the close of the year 1913
the army on the northwestern frontier
was almost destitute of provisions, the
roads were impossible, and we did not
know what could be done Among
other things proposed to remove the
pressure upon us, a seine was directed
to be purchased and sent up to Lake
Huron-to catch white-fish. The quar-
termaster purchased a seine and the
whitefsh were caught abundantly,
which was a matter of vast irnpor-
lance to the soldiers. The account
was sent on, and what do you think
was the decision on it by the account
ing officer? 1t was that whitefish did
not run in the month of November
and, therefore, that the United States
had been cheated. Iaughter) The
good officer had lived all his life upon
the Potomac and had heard Of shad,
which run only in April and May, and
he thought that no fish could run in
November" 0.aughter.)
Mr.. Salmon p. Chase rose. He had
heard of the resolutions of 1882" in
auired that Ohio Senator. 1t was APP
propriate enough for a Salmon to rise,
but even after more than half a GEN.
fury the interruption seems irrelevant
and fiippant. The veteran who would
have been President if Gen. Tay-
lor had not outrun him in the race
turned upon the interrupter with grave
but placid dignity.
II have nothing to do with the res
olutions of 1888 now" he said. II am
merely speaking of fish" Whereat the
Senate laughed again.

A MAnkET FoR SECURITIES.

The movement to have the Cotton
prices of such stocks and bonds as
find a market in this city appears to
meet with the hearty approval
of many of the most in
fluential members of the ex-
change, and also of those interested in
the matter who are not members.
Thoroughly reliable quotations for To-
cal securities, particularly those which
are not listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, is a want that has long
quotations of course, but they are not
always up to date, for the reason that
one broker makes sales of which
others do not know-that the broker
furnishing the quotations does not
know. 1t often happens therefore that
a stock or bond is quoted above or be-
low the actual market for several
days.
If there we're a committee appointed
by the Cotton Exchange to look after
tAAAo HltiltGA lhG blOhSlS WOaAI tCpOLl
every day the prices at which they
sold securities, and bankers and others
would assist in keeping the market
right
Some years ago there was an at
tempt to establish a sort of stock ex-
change for the purpose of fixing the
prices of local securities, but it did not
prove to be a success. There did not
seem to be enough business, or else the
brokers at that time were averse to
Exchange back of such ap undertake
ing, however, there would be no doubt
of its success. provided the commit
tee appointed to look after the market
was diligent in seeking for actual sales
and earnest in finding out the prices at
which sales were made. However
there is no doubt that any committee
appointed would strive to give salts
faction.
The Cotton Exchange would help the
city by undertaking this work. With
quotations on which reliance could be
placed it would not be long before Sa-
vannah would become a very consider
able market for stocks and bonds
From all over the state would come
orders for securities of one kind and
another The local brokers would have
a steady increase in their business,
and attention would be directed to
Savannah as a business center. Sc
curities of one kind and another would
be sent here for sale and Savannah
quotations would become authority
throughout the state. We are sure
that if the Cotton Exchange should
provide for stock and bond quotations
it's action would have very general ap-
prevail.

Personal.

Rear Admiral George B. Balch, U.
S. N, retired, the oldest living flag
officer in Uncle Sans navy, has just
celebrated his eighty-second birthday
at his home in Baltimore.
Senator Hoar is well to do. His
family has been in comfortable cir
cumstances for generations. He has
lived carefully, though well. and his
possessions have increased moderately
with time.
-Pierpont Morgan is permitting
more and more of his work to fall
upon younger men while still retaining
general supervision of the enormous
enterprises in which he is interested,
Among these young men George w.
Perkins is regarded as first lieutenant.
Mr.. Perkins has been tried in many
difficult places, but always rose to the
situation and therefore naturally
stands next to the worlds financial
nabob.

THE COAL FAMINE.

In all parts OF the country there is a
coal famine. There is a great scarcity
of coal i'm the bituminous as well as in
the anthracite section. At first thought
it seems unreasonable that there
should be a scarcity in the section in
which bituminous coal is the fuel, be-
cause there has been no strike of con-
sequence in the bituminous mines. but,
as a matter of fact. there has been a
mines from the section supplied by the
anthracite mines.
But since the strike in the anthracite
mines ended there has been a normal
production in those mines. and it
would seem as if there ought not to
be as great a scarcity as there is.
Still. there is no charge that the coal
operators are checking production
with the view of keeping up the price.
On Monday Mr.. Mitchell. president Of
the United Mine Workers, issued a
proclamation in which he asked the
miners to increase production to as
great an extent as possible. He call
ed attention to the extraordinary high
price of coal, and said that the price
put fuel out of the reach of the very
poor people. Consequently there is a
vast amount of suffering. In some To-
caIities the people have taken the coal
from the cars when at stations. AS far
as known, however, in every instance
the price of the coal was rendered to the
agents of the railroads. The people
felt justified in taking the coal forci-
bly,. They were suffering from cold
and were threatened with disease and
death.
But is not the price of coal out of all
reason? There seems to be good
ground for thinking so. At the end
of the strike in the anthracite region
Mr.. Baer president of the Reading
Railroad, speaking for all the coal car
rying roads, said that he would guar
antee that coal would be laid down at
tidewater at a price that would enable
local dealers to sell at $3.50 ton, and
asserted that any dealer that asked
higher price would have his supply
cut off That price obtained for
a while, but the price in many locali-
ties is double that now. And the New
York Press says that the coal roads
are directly responsible for this con-
dition of affairs. 1t asserts that the
coal trust has increased the price of
coal at least IS ton at the mines. 1t
is certainly time for President Baer to
make answer to this charge, coming
as it does from responsible source.
The coal roads are the coal trust, at
least they control the coal situation.
Unless the coal roads shows that they
are not responsible for the extortionate
price to which coal has risen there
will be trouble for them. The people
are becoming thoroughly exasperated.
They are beginning to feel that they
are the victims of trust that is con-
scienceless.

made a little money
In cotton and in corn,
And spent it on a journey
From the State where 1 was born.
But Georgia, oh, my Georgia,
Beneath this starry dome.
No place can hold a CANDLE
To the eotton-fields of home,
The palaces are splendid
Along Fifth avenue;
The castles up the Hudson
Are very fine to view;
But fairer are the acres
All white as ocean foam.
When snowy bolls are bursting
In the cotton-flelds of home.
1 ate from silver dishes,
But smelt the pleasant steam
OF johnny-cakes and spare-ribs
In every homesick dream;
So / didn't wait for packing,
But took brush and comb
And started back one morning
For the cotton-fields of home.

Beneath the climbing rose:
The mocking bird is singing
Farewell to daylight's close.
The purple dusk is fragrant
With whiffs of dewy loan,
Around my easy cabin
In the cotton-fields of home.
The melon-patch before it,
The peaches on the wall,
The rows of sweet potatoes
These are my little ALL
But I've had enough of travel;
No more i want to roam.
I'll live and die In Gaor9ia
And the cotton-fields of home.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Mobile (Ala.) Register (Dem.)
says: The more one studies the trust
question the, more one fears that the
depths of it have not been stirred. 1t
is something like the Schleswig-H ol-
stein question, which but two men ever
understood; and one of these was dead
and the other had forgotten"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) says: Gen. A. j. Warner of
Ohio is another of the leaders in the
free silver movement who finds in the
greatly increased production of gold
and the rising tendency in prices a
present satisfaction of the essential
demands of that movement Silver re-
monetization, he says, is no longer an
ISSUE"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says: THE intimation that the
President may abolish the railway
mail service of the South is not so
preposterous when considered in con-
nection with some of the things the
President has already done. To abol-
ish the Southern service because of OBJ
jections to the colored mail clerks
would be in keeping with the abolition
of the Indianola postoffice on the
ground that some of the Indianola peo-
pie objected to the postmaster"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem1
says: President Roosevelt has the
appointment of a number of cadets at
large to the Military Academy at West
Point and the Naval Academy at An
napolis. Since he treats prejudices of
race with contempt in his appointment
of collector of the port for Charles
ton he may be expected to display the
same scorn for this prejudice by select
ing few bright, colored youths for
military and naval cadets. What is
good for the people of Charleston in
teaching race equality is good also for
she army and navy"
