CoTToN passed the fourteen mark
in speculation in New York last week.
The Columbia Record says I'VE now
expect to see in the papers what a
vast sum of money the farmers Of the
South have received from this rise in
price, when as matter Of fact pcacti-
cally all Of the cotton has been out
of their hands weeks ago. The high
est prices seem always to come just
before the crop is picked or just after
all Of it is sold by the farmers.

DAY DREAMS
She was such a nice girl.
AID nrlr A~-4

SO~S4
And only twenty.
She had heart, locked. She carried
the key in her hand.
She looked out on world that was
just the same world as you see from
a London bus, or from the box-seat Of
a country coach.
But to her the world was different.
She dreamed by day with wide-open
eyes and laughing lips.
She peopled the world with strange
rolk and strange sentiments.
1t was full Of noble women and brave
men.
There were no OLD people with gout
and rheumatism.
Nor babies with collie or Group.
All the people were young and fair
and brave.
The ladies were graceful and true.
and tender.
They never used curling pins.
The men were gallant, gay, dashing.
They never had faceache or went
three days without shaving.
There was no prating Of politics, no
babbling Of work, no labor Of the arts.
The only topic was love. All the
6ne men spoke Of it and all the fair
women listened.
But no gallant had spoken o. it to
her, and in the gay throng her-ssasssg
was empty. go ssass
So she looked out on this strange
world, and, on the whole, was happy.
But in such happiness at times she
would become unspeakably unhappy.
And she would cry, and keep on cry
Ing for days.
When her father, who was on the
Stock Exchange, said it was silly, she
had to agree She didn't know what
she was crying for.
Her brothers laughed-coarse are
the male young-and went on shooting
rabbits.
But her mother, who had once been
a girl, stroked her hair and kissed her.
It is only mothers who understand
the girl-child.
The girl still lived in her own
world, while her father went to the
Stock Exchange, her brothers shot
rabbits, and her mother disciplined
the servants.
So she grew to know that Of all the
throng in her world she was alone and
lonely. And she knew it was not good.
When she was very unhappy, she did
not cry so often. Instead, she began
to think Of a presence which would
make her life brighter, OF voice that
would make echo in her heart, oisthe
! touch Of hand that would make Lite
radiant.
Then she put her hair up.
She spent days combing it, and each
day she dressed 1t different way.
It made the heart Of the old stock
broker glow-when he took her to the
theatre-with pride.
It made the boys wonder, and they
allowed that Nell was stunning"
And it turned mems heads.
It turned one mans head so badly
that he never looked away again. In
his glance there was something sne
had not seen in the eyes Of any man,
and mis- voice sent funny little tInghng
music through her heart.
And when he took her hand In his
big brown one. she dropped the key,
even without knowing It
And be kept it.
After that the world became very
teal.>
She didn't cry SO often.
When she did. it was when Jonn
prlmbIed at the cooking.
Or came home late from the cluo.
