The advanced price of cotton
has caused the staple to pour in
to the city and for the past two
days, in fact eyersince the staple
touched the ten cent mark, the
warehousemen and cotton men
generally have been busy. Mer-
chants have had all they can do
and have been busy. In the
scram BILE for trade the usual talk
of higher prices having been paid
in other markets has been in
dulged in, but the prices are
paid in merchandise and not in
cash. As a market for trading
after your staple has been con-
verified into cash there's none like
Columbus. Cotton brought from
10 4 to 10 IL cents yesterday.

Il BOY PROBLEM.
One Summary Of the Whole Common
sense Gospel of the Movement.

sense 1OSpSi Of sIfc movement.
From Alice Katharine Fallows' Temp
tations to Be Good" in the December Cen
fury: Not long ago, a minister OF the ad-
vance guard in social ideas, who has a
parish house in one of the most crowded
blocks of New York, was explaining his
work to a visitor interested In the boy
problem.
I'VE have a club ROOM he said, where
our older boys and men play pool or bill
lizards, or have any game Of cards they
like that is not gambling"
The visitor, whose religious IDEAS lat
not been revised since the rigid days Of
her youth. gasped. You don't mean tina
you permit those denominations under the
wing Of the church, she asked-'.in the
shadow of the sanctuary, one might say %
Certainly, madam" was the answer.
we think the devil has had a monopoly
Of these amusements long enough. They
are harmless in themselves. The saloon
used them as a bait for drunkenness and
vice. We use them to tempt boys back to
morality. You can't fight a devil who
offers shelter, light, warmth and comfort
to those who have none. with good advice
and tracts on a cold, street corner"
Int this one sentence is the whole COM
mon sense gospel of the new movement
to take a boy as he is, not as he ought
to be, and to give him what he lacks.
