a1s last HOPE REA11zEp.

tFrom the Sentinel, Gego, MONTY
In the FIRST opening of Oklahoma to
settlement in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which. together with the severe heat.
gave him a severe diarrhoea which 1t
seemed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
ncighbors brought him one small bottle
OF Chambcrlain'- Collie. thoicrn and Diar-
ri,oca Remedy as n last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony, and
in few minutes the dose was repeated.
The god effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for =
fortnight. The one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help but
feet grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being ut hand suggests this item.

street CAR line
TO WESTON LIKELY

Humphrey +. Brohard, Of FIemington,
through his attorney, made application
Tasesday to Che county court for fran
chise for an electric street car line.
The proposed line is to extend from
clarisburg by way of West Milford.
Good Hope and other places in the upper
end of the county to Weston. The line
is described in the application as follows:
Beginning at point on what is com.
road at or near the corporation line of
the city Of Clarlssburg, thence follow
ing said road MS near as practical over.
upon and along the bed of the road upon
the bridges used Herewith to or near
the town of West Milford; thence over,
upon and along the bed of the road up
the West Fork river to, near or through
the village of Good Hope, and thence
over, upon and along bed of the road
leading from or near the village of Good
Hope by the most practical route to or
near the mouth OF Kincheloe creek Mt
or near the county line between the
counties of Harrison and Lewis.
The uses to which such roads, high
ways and bridges are to be put under
such franchise when granted being ID
construct, maintain and operate an cleo
trio car line for the transportation OF
passengers, freight and United States
mail, to construct, maintain and operate
turn outs, switches and other like mp
piiances, plant and maintain poles OF
other supports for wires to convey cleo
trio currents, to string and maintain such
wires upon such supports TO convey such
currents.
Mr.. Brohard asks for 5O-year fran
chise. The court took the matter under
consideration.
The promoters associated with Mr..
Brohard give out assurances Tint Che
road will be built in the very near fu-
tnre, if franchise be granted, as they
have the money to build it.
It has not been definitely decided on
which side of the river the road will go
but there is good opening through the
country it will pass, as there is no rail-
road along that line. As consequence
it would prove quite beneficial to the
people residing along It.
As viii be observed. it is proposed to
carry not only passengers. but also
freight and United States mail, thus be
ing of great advantage to the country
Several farmers in that section are very
much in favor of it and have offered a
free right Of way through their farms.

In Korea the people tell a Cinderella
story that is much more ancient than
that familiar to Western people. The
key of the latter story is the slipper,
but not so theirs. Peach Blossom the
Korean Cinderella's name, was, the
family drudge One day as the mother
was starting off with the favorite
daughter to a picnic she said to Peach
Blossom: You must not leave until
you have hulled a bagful of rice and
filled the broken crock with water.
While sitting there bemoaning her hard
lot she heard a twittering and a f1ut-
tering of wings Looking up, she saw
a flock of sparrows pecking the hulls
off the rice. Before recovering from
her surprise a little imp jumped out
of the fireplace and so skillfully repair
ed the crock that but a. few minutes
of work was required to fill it with wa
ter. Then she went to the picnic and
had a royal time.
On another occasion the mother said:
you must stay until you have pulled
up all the weeds in the field" This
time a COW came out of the forest and
ate up the weeds in ten mouthfuls.
Peach Blossom followed the cow into
the woods and was led to where there
was an abundance of ripe, luscious
fruit. Gathering a large quantity, she
went to the fete and was the most
welcome guest. Her Jealous sister ask
ed about it and on being told deter
mined she would get some of this fruit
for herself
When the next gala day came the
sister stayed at home and let Peach
Blossom go. The COW came out of
the woods as before and the sister
followed it through tangled brier and
thorn bushes, with the result that her
face was much scratched and her skin
deep beauty all gone.

THE TWO VERSIONS.

A little matter in which Miss Helen
Gould was interested has started what
may become a big controversy. Miss
| Gould has a school of 800 girls at Lynd-
hurst, her country place on the Hud-
son. 1t is rather a sewing class and
is maintained at her expense. The
purpose of it is to fit girls to take care
of themselves. There is no restriction
in the attendance ON account of reli-
gion. Until recently many Catholic
girls were members of the class. At
the annual party not long ago Miss
Gould gave the girls meat sandwiches.
1t seems the Catholic girls partook of
the meat along with the Protestant
girls, Notwithstanding the fact that
the day was Friday.
The serving of meat brought forth
protest from the Rev. T. J. Farley,
rector of the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception. Some correspondence
followed between Father Farley and
Miss Gould with the result that Father
Farley forbade the Catholic girls to at
tend the school.
IN the correspondence MISS Gould
said that the Catholics were against
allowing the people to read the Bible.
Father Farley replied that the Church
had no objection to the people read
ing the Bible, but did object to their
reading the Protestant version of it,
which, he said, did not go back fur
ther than Henry the Eighth of Eng
land, and was then gotten up for OBJ
vious reasons.
This statement respecting the Pro-
testant Bible led Miss Gould to offer a
prize OF $3.50 for the best essay on the
two versions of the Bible. AS she
states the matter the prize is to be
given for the best essay on this double
topic, namely: THE Origin and His
tory of the Version of the Bible APP
proved by the Roman Catholic Church"
and 1.-The Origin and History of the
American Revised Version of the Eng
| lish Bible"
This may be the beginning of a long
and widespread controversy Doubtless
Miss Gould feels that 1t is possible to
show that the Protestant Bible rests
upon as good authority as the Cath
Ollie Bible.

COTTON is KING.

It is not surprising that there was
great excitement and rush to buy
cotton both in New Orleans and New
York yesterday when the crop esti-
mate of the Agricultural Department
was made public. Most OF the cotton
crop experts and the great majority
of the cotton houses in New York
as well as in the South. had all along
estimated the crop at more than 49,
000, 900 bales. There were a few who
thought the years yield would be be-
low 10, 900 bales, but it is doubt
full if they were investing largely on
! their judgment. The Agricultural De
| partments estimate, however carries
great weight, and, consequently, the
price of futures and of spot cotton
advanced rapidly when its estimate
became known.
When cotton was selling a little above
&c it was thought probable that
the price might advance to 1Oc, and
perhaps 10hc Now, while middling
spot cotton is quoted at 117sc it can
not be bought, in all probability, under
12A, and 1912 is being asked for good
middling.
The belief seems to prevail in New
York that middling cotton will sell
for lac or 15c a pound before the sea-
son is over. In fact, there is no tell
ing what the price will be before the
end of March.
A cotton crop under 100000 bales
isn't sufficient to meet the worlds de-
mand. There is. therefore, going TO
be a scramble for cotton from now
until the next crop begins to come
to market, and even beyond that time,
unless it is practically certain that
the next crop will be an unusually big
one
OF course if cotton goes to lac or 15c
a pound there will be very great in
crease in the acreage next year.
Farmers can get rich raising cotton
at such prices. There was a marked
increase in the acreage this year, but
the boil weevl, bad weather during
the planting season, early frosts and
other things tended to cut down the
yield.
But notwithstanding the fact that
the crop is a short one, it is bring
ing a vast amount of money into the
country from other countries. Eng
land, France, Germany, Russia, in fact
all countries which manufacture cot
ton fabrics, must have our. cotton.
They can all get along without our
manufactured goods but they cannot
do without our cotton. The stoppage
of their mills means the starvation
of their people. The whole world
therefore is depending upon the cot
ton growing states, and while there
are signs of coming hard times in
other sections of the country the South
is prosperous, and she is contributing
largely to the prosperity of the other
sections, because the vast treasure
which cotton is bringing from abroad
is helping all parts of the country.
Cotton is certainly king this year.

IN THE HANDS OF THE POLITICIANS.


A day or two ago the President was
quoted as saying that former First
Assistant Postmaster General Perry
Heath must resign his position as sec
rotary of the Republican National
Committee. 1t is stated that Mr..
Heath has no intention of resigning.
The President wants him to resign
because, according to the report of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow. he is mixed up in the postof-
flee frauds, but cannot be prosecuted
because he is protected by the statute
of limitations.
Is the President going to insist that
Heath shall give up his position as sec
rotary of the Republican National
Committee? The indications are that
he will not. The politicians of his
party have been talking with him
about the matter, and they have told
him that it wouldn't be advisable for
him to get into a fight with the COM
mittee. 1t was pointed out to him
that Mr.. Heath has friends on the
committee, and if an effort were
made to force him out of his position
there would be trouble at once in the
committee and in the party.
The President doesn't want any
more trouble on his hands than he
has already. He knows that while
there doesn't seem to be any doubt
at the present time that he will be
the nominee of his party for Presi-
dent, it wouldn't be a difficult matter
to stir up strife enough in the party
to make his nomination extremely
doubtful. Some of the ablest of the
Republican leaders do not like him
and wouldn't be slow to assist in pre-
venting him from getting the nominal
ton if favorable opportunity to do
so should present itself.
And it looks from the resolution
that was introduced into the Senate
by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
on Tuesday, calling on the Postmaster
General to send to the Senate Com
mittee on Postoffices and Post Roads
all of the documents and papers of all
Minus uDOu WHICH lllc lepOIl VI GGIls
Bristow is based, that the Republicans
do not intend that there shall be an
investigation by Congress Of the post
Office frauds. Senator Penrose is the
chairman of that committee, and if
he gets hold of the documents he will
see to it, in all probability, that there
is no investigation of the frauds by
Congress prior to the presidential
election, and he will take care that the
documents do not get into unfriendly
hands.
There need be no surprise, therefore,
if Congress does nothing further to-
wards probing the postoff1ce scandal,
or if the President takes no steps to-
wards ousting Mr.. Heath from the
secretaryship of the National Conn
mittee. OF course Mr.. Heath's term.
will expire on the assembling of the
National Convention of his party, and
it is safe to say that he will not be
reelected, but there isn't much doubt
that he will be permitted to hold on
to his place until the end of his term.
