The Final Answer.

There is a little boy at school
Who bravely makes a start,
But somehow never seems to get
The lesson all by heart.
1t is a mournful thing to see
His look Of gathering woe,
AS he at last gives up the task
And answers, "I don't know"
For you are not alone
What filings the borealis light
Across the arctic zone?
What gives Its color to the rose?
What bids the seed to grow?
The wisest man must blush at last
And say, IT do not know"

the cotton mills on both sides of the At
lantic ocean by their manipulation Of the
prices of the staple to extraordinary fig
ures have been extremely busy in circulat-
Ing tales Of the frightful ravages of the
boil weevil in the Texas fields. Munchau-
sen fictions as to the appalling devastation
wrought by weevils have been heard and
talked of in many an earlier year. This
year they seem to be more untrue than
usual The present prices will encourage
every southern planter to surpass his pre-
vious efforts to produce every pound OF
cotton which he can possibly bring to mar
ket. Under such engagement the plant
will unquestionably accomplish a great
deal. Moreover, prevailing quotations will
stimulate the raising of cotton on an ex-
tensive scale in enormous territories In
Asia and in Africa.
