With Variations.

The way of the phiIapthropist, of
whom the author of "a Third Pot
Pourri' tells, seems unduly hard, says
the Youths Companion. The philan-
thropist, who was a gentle old lady of
Exeter, England, got hold of a manned
sailor, who moved her to great pity
To help him along she purchased a tray
on which he was to expose gingerbread
for sale. She gave him start in gin
gerbread, also the privilege of stand
ing before her most respectable resi-
dence to cry his wares. In addition, she
composed and taught him the following
words to repeat at intervals:
"Will any good kind Christian buy
some fine, spicy gingerbread of poor,
afflicted old MANI"
The first morning the sailor sold a
shillings worth of gingerbread in a
short time, and his success, went to
his head. Pretty soon, from his sta
ton on the pavement in front of the
gentle old lady's house his voice float
ed in to her in this appeal
"Will any poor, afflicted Christian
buy some good, kind gingerbread of a
fine, spicy old MANI"
Despite this sadly mixed up trade
became very good-so good, indeed,
that when the philanthropist again
heard her words they ran:
'WiH any fine, spicy Christian buy
some poor, afflicted gingerbread of a
good, kind old MANI"

Too Much to BE Endured.

The small boy, Jack, was discovered
by an elderly friend in a street at the
other end of the city from that in which
he lives, says the Youths Companion.
The tears had left their marks on his
cheeks and every now and then a sob
still shook his little body, but he
trudged sturdily on, without one back
ward look.
Hello, Jackie! What's the matter?"
asked the friend as the small boy tried
to brush past.
81 amt agoing to tell you," he an
nounced, ramming his small fists into
his eyes.

gentleman cheerfully. Beautiful

Jack eyed him obstinately.

man carelessly.

cordially. Il wouldn't stay in a house
where they cooked gingersnaps right
under fellows nose, either"
'Tain't that" snapped Jack. "It's
'cause-'cause mamma told papa this
mornin that her-her sealskin coat
was so worn out she'd never be able to
wear it another-'nother winter" he
explained, the tears starting afresh.
Still" said the friend good-natured-
ly, zone can live in a house where there
isn't a sealskin coat"
You don't understand" walled Jack.
well, you tell me about it, Jackie"
urged the man.
Ill won't wear sealslkin pants!"
sobbed Jack, all his wrongs coming
again before his minds eye.

for stop. I'm conducting this car
for about s12 week and getting a
blow-up on every trip, and it's all
can do to sympathize with myself"
but was it that way when we used
to have horse cars?' asked the old
man, as he seemed to be thinking back
wards.
"Mebbe not

conductors used to be touched and
yield up their sympathy, but electric

the fountains of pity and sorrow have

continue to mourn and be hanged to
him."

TOO ENTHUSIASTIC.

The Republicans of Richmond, Va,
are enthusiastic admirers of President
Roosevelt. They have nominated him
for President in 1904 and also 1908. 1t
is evident that they want the country
to understand that they are in favor
of Mr.. Roosevelt as long as custom
will permit him to hold the office.
1t would be interesting to know the
composition of the meeting at which
this double nomination was made. 1t
would be discovered doubtless that the
majority was composed of politicians
who are hoping to get places under the
next administration and officeholders
under the present administration.
Meetings of that sort count for moth
ing. The public understands the mean
ing and purpose of the resolutions they
pass.
There is no doubt of course, that
Mr.. Roosevelt is very popular with
the great majority of his party, and
the indications are that he will be
nominated for President in 1904. Still,
ii is by no means settled that the NOM
ination will go to him. There are forces
in his party-powerful forces-which
are being used to prevent his nomina-
ton. There is no good reason. how
ever, for thinking that he will not be
nominated. Indeed, everything points
to his nomination.
He understands, of course, that there
is opposition to him in his party, and
that this opposition is the money ele-
ment. 1t is doubtful if it viii be sue
cessful in doing anything more than
making him a little anxious as to his
success.
1t may be that he has been thinking
of another term after that of 1904, and
that the action of the Richmond, Va,
Republicans has pleased him greatly.
1t would not be surprising if it has. It
would be advisable. however, for him
to wait until the battle of 1904 is over
before thinking of 1908. The result of
that battle may be a death blow to his
ambition.

4 SNAIL COTTON CROP PREDICTED.

A SMALL COTTON CROP PREDICTED.
The whole world is interested in the
cotton crop and information in re-
spect to it is eagerly sought where
ever cotton goods are manufactured
or marketed. OF course not great
deal that is reliable is known about
the growing crop. The fact however,
that It is about two weeks late opens
the door for all sorts of gloomy pre-
formed cotton men are sure that the
crop is going to be a failure-at least
that it is going to be very short.
Ashley Horne of Clayton, n. c.. one
of the most successful cotton manu-
facturers Of that state, has just eX-
pressed the opinion that the crop will
not be more than three-fourths of an
average one. If this opinion proves
to be well-founded the price of cot
ton will go above what it is now. But
what is most interesting in Mr..
Hornes talk is the statement that the
South will never again be able to pro-
duce a crop of more than IL 900 600
bales He says that it is practically
impossible to get the labor to produce
larger crop. There is plenty of land
adapted to cotton that has not yet
been brought under cultivation. but
without the necessary labor the cot
ton cannot be produced
If what Mr.. Horne says is correct
it suggests an interesting question.
1t will be admitted that the demand
for cotton is steadily increasing. The
question is. will the South supply this
increasing demand or will 1t have to
be supplied by other countries-Asia,
Africa and South America? Will the
South let king cotton transfer his
throne to other lands?
OF course it would be many years
before such a transfer would take
place, assuming that the South's limit
in cotton production has been reached,
but there is, in our opinion, no good
reason for thinking it has been reach
ed. 1t certainly hasn't unless the
South can find a more profitable crop.
If the belief should get abroad that
tne price Oh COllOn WOuiu Itlndln al
10 cents a pound for a long time, or
go above it, there would be a marked
increase in the cotton acreage. The
attention of white labor would be di
rected to cotton growing to a much
greater extent than it is now. The
lands in the cotton states would be
cut up into small farms and would
be cultivated largely by white labor
as is the case now in Texas. Besides,
the productiveness of the lands would
be greatly increased by improved
methods of farming and careful seed
selection. Permanent 10 cent. cotton
would bring about many changes, and
the changes would Lean a great in
crease in. the crop. Instead of 11,00O,-
900 bales a year we would soon have
100000 or more. The labor to raise
all the cotton that is needed would
be forthcoming if the reward were
sufficiently great.
