ADvENTURiNG.

Freddie went out to the woods one day
To hunt and have some fun;
And the woodpile was the forest gray,
While broomstick was his gun.
And Freddie he found him lion bold
Away on the mountain side;
And the lion was pussie, growing old,
Who purred at Freddie's side.
Then Freddie he wandered away and away
All into a robbers cave;
And he found him gold, but had to stay
As the robber chieftain's slave,
Till his mamma called as loud as she couli
= That the sugar cakes were done;
Then Freddie he crawled from the pile o.
wood
With his lion nd his gun.

A fresh exploit of the French sub.

the other day. AS the Bretagne was
nearing Havre the submarine Espador
Lay in wait and came to the surface
200 yards from the liner as it was pass

still. It placed itself SO it was right
between the Bretagne and the liner

other, torpedoed them from stem
simultaneously, and then suddenly ap-
peared on the surface to the intense
surprise of the passengers.

"Well, will tell you about it from tho
beginning. was born in Oneida, Wis,
in 1879. My parents are typical Onei-
das. In their union were joined the
two greatest chieftain lines of our
tribe-the Corneliuses and that Of
Daniel Bread. Daniel Bread, my
mothers father, and great uncle
Cornelius of mine were two of the
great Indian orators and the brainiest
men the race has ever produced.
II was reared on large. farm with
my parents in a perfectly civilized
fashion. When 1 came of school age
my father removed from the heart Of
the reserve to the backwoods on the
outskirts, so that he might have white
neighbors on one side and give us the
advantage of the white public school,
not Wishing to be further dependent
on the government Indian schools.
He believes that reserve life is most
unconductive to a liberal development.
because of my extreme fraiNy my
school life was much interrupted.
From Grafton Hall, the Fond du Lac
school, 1 was graduated at 10 after
four years, of which at least one
quarter of the time was obliged to
be absent. They told me there that
I could not finish in less than six years,
but said would do the work in four,
and I did, and took honors. AS soon
as my health will permit shall enter
one of the eastern colleges to continue
some special lines of study.
'Literature shall be my life work.
and it's aim shall be to benefit my
people. This can be done in literature
in way not, I think, undertaken be-
fore. The life struggles and motives
of the Indian race must of necessity
be written by an Indian, if they are
to be correctly portrayed. White men
and women have written cleverly of
us, but from white mans point OF
view. 1 hope to give the Indian side
of American life.
II do not know how or when l
caught the idea of writing. Indeed,
it must be longer ago than my mem
ory, for know that when only child,
with the English language half on my
tongue, l dreamed of writing books.
Perhaps it seems strange to an out
slider, for know the ideas that prevail
in regard to Indian life, but to do
something great when I grew up was
impressed upon me from my cradle
bv nv parents, and l have known NO
other ambition.
"The legends which have complet-
ed have cost me much hard work. l
have travelled long distances and to the
remotest corners of the reserve to get
from the Oldest residents these quaint
fancies of our tribe. l go to many
persons for the same story, in order
to compare their versions. These
take down in the Indian vernacular,
from which I make literal transla-
lions, later do them over into good
English. The novel which 1 am at
work. on will show the difficulties with
which the race is beset in its stage Ut
transition, and will contain some OF
it's historical movements and char
acters. In one scene there is to be
Daniel Bread grafton, which I shall
quote directly. But I do not intend
to write a sour piece of literature
There is a great deal of racial humor
quite new to Indian literature, because
no one who cannot understand the
every day communion of these people
has been able to catch this flavor"

nOBBY met the little princess one
ID summer of his boyhood as he
strolled on the beach in an out of the
way place on the Atlantic coast. A
tiny, dark creature, with tangled locks,
she didn't seem much of princess as
she quivered under the brutal epithets
hurled at her by a small male tor
mentor. It was positively wicked to be
q snub-nosed, knock-kneed fraid-cat.
She wept under the piled-up agony of
it.
Bobby, some years old, thrashed the
young bully, climbed up beside the
child lying on wet rock that pushed
itself into the sea, and restored her
self-respect by declaring that she
didn't have snub nose, and that she
would be the finest there is when she
grew up to her bully eyes.
They became famous friends in the
long happy days that followed. Bobby
went to college resolved that he would
seek his princess when school days
were done, and ask her to make the
world beautiful for him.
Some years later he met her, a much
photographed and much Photographed
young beauty, grown up to her bully
eyes, and he smiled somewhat CYNICAL
" as he thought of that brave young
resolve. ..
TRumor associated her name with
Maj. Davis, man of wealth, old
enough to be her father, and it seemed
that for once rumor might be relied
upon.
Finding the major always there,
Bobby flung himself from the girls
presence and into the service of his
country. On the day he sailed from
Frisco he read the announcement of
the approaching marriage of Carolyn
Nicholson to Maj. Davis, and not with
out bitterness of soul closed that sweet
chapter of his life.
A graver Bobby, and pale with the
weakness of an old fever in his blood,
he hesitated in the hallway of south
ern house. Apromise to a friend, and .

New York, July 30.-Cotton opened With out special feature except a bulge in July of 8 points Support of the winter months was withdrawn and these showed a lower tendency. Cables were muehs higher. There was good deal of rain in the Texas section and as on yesterday the idea is that instead of rain helping the crop 1t will increase the weevil At any rate the crop Is in such an uncertain con dition and the supply so reduced and spin ners have been so long out of the market that it Is regarded as dangerous to be short of the market. Fancy prices for the winter months are being mentioned. Whether these will be realized or not no body wants to be short of them. Seldom has the crop situation been so mixed and uncertain. and in as much as we are about entering August with no evidence of big crop, the chances of raising one are daily being reduced If it should appear by the August bureau report that the condi- ton has not improved, decidedly more bullishness will have to be adopted every where, as conditions always deteriorate from August to October from to 9 per cent.
 The market improved during the morn- ing. but the trading was slow. Sellers were keeping in the background. Cables were to 12 points higher Abiline, Texas, had big rain.

cothran c co.,s cotton Letter.

By c. W. Lee and Co.
 New York, July 30-There were fine rains in the southwest this morning and some of the Atlantic states, but the trade appeared to pay very little attention to the showers and did pay a great deal of attention to the fact that July cotton in New Orleans sold at IA cents. while reports had it that Mr Brown was bid- ding 15 cents for 5000 July. without finding any sellers. Of course the price of spot cotton Is at the present time abnormal But even allowing for this condition. 1t is an open question whether spot cotton would not be selling on it's merits for HE and 12 cents pound. We are convinced that it would under these circumstances January and December cotton are certain ly selling al very serious discount. That is to say, the seller comedies a drain of about cents a pound in the price of spot cotton to begin with. Until we know great deal more about the crop than we know today this concession Is a very heavy handicap to bear operations. We do not believe that 1t is justified We have still all the August troubles and trials and trfbulations.
 Any one can sit down on the first day of the month and say just as surely as there is an August to be encountered just so surely will we have poor crop accounts from a greater or less number of sections of the cotton belt The thing to be decided Is whether 9A for the new crop discounts these reports.
 If the present price simply discounts favorable conditions, there must be an advance before September. This is the opinion of the best men on the floor.

OLD CROP MONTHS
 SHOW F|RMNESS Cotton Market Opens Easy at
 20 Points Advance
LIVERPOOL SPOT STRONG
Sales There of 5000 Bales Reported at Six Points Advance-Last Notice
 Day for July Contracts --s Causes Apprehension.

New York. July S0.2The cotton market opefsd easy at an advance of 20 points on July and on August, while the new crop was one point higher to points low CT. and during the entire session ruled irregular, showing considerable excite ment and at times activity. The old crop months at first showed great firmness on covering, with July attracting more de- mand than on any previous morning this week. The later positions, which at the start had shown a declining tendency as result of realizing also recovered and for time ruled firm with the near posi- tions on sbuilish news from New Orleans and a renewal of clique support. Then July, which had sold up to 1860, dropped down to 13 49 and was offered still lower, without finding buyers, and this, with Father easier cables, caused partial de- cline in the new crop options, so that around midday they were practically at last nights close Additional and heavy rains were reported from Texas, however. which again stimulated buying and with Another show of clique support the market was soon up to the best level of the day with August selling at 12.99, September 1O9O and October 1908. the general list, with the exception of July, showing net gains of 3 to 12 points. July in the mean time had reached 1915. then suddenly turned strong selling up to 135O, while just before the close the balance of the list was weak under bear pressare, with August selling at 12SO, then to 1920, the last sale. July closed at 1s.40, a net ad vance of four points, while August was net IT points lower. The new crop was finally near the bottom and net point higher to points lower. The general tone at the close was steady Sales es- timated at-150,OOO bales.
 Today was the last notice day for July contracts and the trade this morning was nervous and apprehensive of developments in that position.
 ~ A rumor had been circulated late yes- terday to the effect that July shorts were outstanding in excess of the cotton avail able for delivery and the early demand tended to confirm this view. Notices were issued, estimated to the amount of 5000 bales, and were promptly taken, presum- ably by the bull clique.
 s factor in the early advance was the Strong spot situation in Liverpool, sales there of some 5000 bales being reported at an advance of points, and while in some quarters the heavy rains reported were considered of benefit to the crop, they exerted a bullish effect on the aver age.
