that so few men enlist and such a
small percentage reenlist after three
years, but that we obtain and keep so
many really good men as we do.
IF the pay of a private on first
enlistment was made to approach that
of farm laborers, in my opinion there
would be sufficient enlistments from
superior class of men from the
farms, who are usually good physi-
cally, have common school educa-
tions and are not so much addicted to
intemperance as those from the
cities.

DEMANDS MORE

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.--General
Funston's annual report for the De-

today, presents a strong argument

REAL QUALITIES OF WORTH.

Loyalty, Charity and Generosity Most
to Be Praised.
AS man grows older he perceives
that the moral qualities are worth a
good deal more in friendship than the
intellectual qualities, and that no
5rilliancy of mind, no charm of con-
versation can make up for lack of 10y
atty, charity and generosity in social
intercourse. Young men of brains
are disposed to value mainly mental
power in other people. and 1t Ia a
human quality to forgive much in
men and women of genius. This is a
false appreciation of the respective
values of mentality and the moral
qualities. The time comes when
man learns that unselfishness and
affection are better in wife or frienu
than intellectual power accompanied
by intense self-love. Fortunate the
man who does not come to this
knowledge too late.-San Francisco

Keeps his own counsel until he is
forced to the wall or makes the best
settlement possible.
The recent advance in cotton has
been remarkable. Within two months
there has been an advance of nearly 2
cents a pound-$55, 100000 on crop
OF 100000 bales-and within about
three weeks there has been an adj
vance of about l cent. This advance,
too, has been without anything that
could be dignified by the term of
reaction.
In this great advance the manoever-
ings of Sully have occasioned wide
comment and much attention, but the
men who have been sitting back reap
ing the real big profit out of the af.
fair have said nothing. They are the
planters. The man with the goods"
is king to-day, He's as independent
as hog on a holiday. He's roofing"
for Sully, and every time he gets adj
vices of another advance in price he
becomes more independent and he
treasures such of his crop as remains.
There was time, and it's only few
years ago, when cotton was drug on
the market. But to-day the South has
such prosperity as Dixieland never
dreamed of and such as the widest op-
timist never predicted. Four crops in
succession have been marketed at
big prices. 1t seems as If the South
cannot produce as much cotton as the
world needs. 1t seems as if Sully's
ideas that the uses of cotton have
broadened beyond the realization of
the public are correct.
1t is natural the South, sentimental
ly and otherwise, is with Sully in bull
ing cotton. But, then, the South al
ways is bullish on cotton. There used
to be time when the man who bulled
cotton was certain to meet disaster.
Old-timers tell of the sad fate of
Ranger Landauer, Runge, Labouisse
and Price. But they tried to Corner
cotton, Sully's friends say no one
but fool would attempt a corner.
They say the spinners are buying, and
Sully is simply the generalissimo.
Whatever he is he is creating a great
stir, and he will have his name hand

MUCH MONEY IN COTTON
Daniel Suly Said Have Made 100000 in Six Weeks and
Is Still Bull in the Market-Theodore Price His
Great Rival

In the great cotton markets of Liv-
erpool Havre and Bremen, just as in
the great cotton markets of America
to-day, every play made by ID. ]. Sully
or every play reported to be made by
him is of the most absorbing interest
to spinners, factors and spectators.
Suddenly, so suddenly as to surprise
the old-timers, this remarkable young
man has sprung into international
prominence. A few weeks ago he was
practically unknown. To-day every
body knows him. He Is but an illus
tration of the old adage that a man Is
developed for every contingency.
There was condition In the cotton
market that afforded opportunities for
a master hand in the marshaling of
forces. Out of the ranks of nobodies
came Sully, and suddenly he became
somebody. To-day he Is the general
of the bull campaign In cotton, and he
is making history. 1t is said he has
made 100000 in the last six weeks.
This may be an overestimate or an
underestimate. His profits may be
garnered or largely paper" That he
has made an immense sum there is NO
doubt That he stands to win q still
greater sum Is certain.
Sudden prominence hasn't affected
Sully In the slightest degree. He is a
newcomer to New York, although he
has been a member of the New York
Cotton Exchange two years. Down in
Providence, r. l., where he comes
from, they are extremely proud of him,

Providence but the whole state of
Rhode Island has swelled with the i'm
portance he gives to that part of the
map. Until last October Sully was
best known In the cotton world
through his connection with Eastern
spinners, principally the house OF Rey-
nolds & Co. Since October last he has
been New Yorker.
1t is one of the strange features of
the present situation in the cotton
market that Sully took up the bull
campaign after Theodore H. Price had
given 1t up. Price has been one of the
most spectacular figures in the cotton
world. In the season of 1899-19OO.
when he was at the head of the firm
of Price, Mccormick & Co., he planned
one of the greatest bull campaigns
ever known. He laid his basis when

to the bull side. Before he could do
