Yet il Is true.
About .t,9 fifteen firms in St. Louis deal in old

one firm at Main and North Market occu-
pies almost as much space as lumber
yard. and it buys and sells all over the
United States
Several others are nearly as large.
Consequently, an equally large sum Is rep
resented by those interests which are usual
ly classed as Junk" dealers.
Probably the total for the rag pickers Is
equal to about the same anount-the equiv
alent of the Presidents salary per annum.
But the rag picke-s are more scattered
body.
From Eighth to Tenth. between o'Fallon
and Wash streets. can be found innumer-
able cld-rag establishments.
To estimate their capitalization, or intrin-
sic worth. is difficult but they furnish a
livelihood for about 100 families.
II each family earns sl00 year. that
means $1,000. Moreover. In this district are
the wholesale old-ras men. who buy from
the p;ckers sort out the goods. and sell to
the various mills.
These businesses are worth at least 81 go
a year TO their owners.
Allow. then. for the scattered rag-pickers
and two or three other wholesale" dealers
in the southern section of town. 1t will be
seen that the aggregate of money repre-
scented in the old-ras business is almost If
NOT quite. equal to the o,d-iron and tine

Force of Habit in a Cow.
Waded Through Flood to a Tank
of Water to Get Drink.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The force of habit was forcibly illustrate
ed by an incident last week at the pumping
station of the waterworks at Enid. says the
Enid ok Eagle. A tank standing just out
side the building is kept full of water for
the accommodation Of passers-by and the
neighborhood stock. COW accustomed to
drink at this tank came for her morning
drink The valley was covered with water
to within two or three inches of the top
OF the tank. but the cow went over the
waste of waters to the tank. Twice she
stuck in the mud and appeared to be in
danger Of drowning. but by perseverance
she finally reached the objective point.
After drinking long and copiously. she
turned about and slowly made her way to
land apparently satisfied that she had done
the only available thing TO find water.

Several years ago many
farmers were almost forced
into bankruptcy by the low
price of cotton. Indeed many
for the lack of the wherewithal
to run their farms had to
abandon them. Now the tide
has turned. The farmers are
rejoiced over the prevailing
high price of the tleecy staple,
but many cotton mills have
lost heavily and some have
been permanently crippled
thereby. Along with the mills
the operatives suffer. The
wages Of $4,000 operatives in
the north have been recently
cut 10 per cent. Some south
ern mills have also been
heavy loosers.
