From the Washington Star.
You prize the friend that brides him
self on being frank and true;
Who talks about your faults, howe'er
il may hurt him and you.
You know that it's his sort on whom
YOU hkeliest to depend
When troubles overcast the sky and
bitter tears descend.
But lust the same you sometimes wish
that he could comprehend
That no one finds perfection: no not
even in a friend.
And though you vow you want the
truth and want it good and
strong.
You kind O. like the fellow who win
jolly you along.
You kind o. like the bird that sings
song of careless cheer;
You kind o. like the flowers that bios
som idly, far and near:
You kind o. like the merry rhyme
whose STRAINS so idly fai:
You kind O. like lot of things that
are no good at all.
But there Is just one fact that stands
out palpable and clear
The thoughtless smile is always better
than the thoughtless sneer,
And 80 many folks are ready 20 remind
you when you're wrong
That YOU kind o. like the fellow who

In his letters from India Mr.. w. T.
Curtis gives some very interesting sta
tistics relative to the production and
manufacture Of cotton in that country
While there is a very steady increase IN
the manufacture of cotton goods, the
increase in the last twelve years hav-
ing been from 24,670 looms and S,26S,524
spindles in 1912 TO 1856 looms and
5.1643sO spindles in 1923, there hasn't
been much, If any, increase in the pro-
duction of cotton. The bales contain
400 pounds, and in 1928 the number of
bales produced was 1 ,924, 900 and in 1901 2
the number was 100000. For some of
the intervening years the num-
Der of bales was considerably
more .han in the years named,
and in others much less. For
instance, in 1889 the number
was 2.425.OOO bales, while in the follow.
ing year il was only $4,000.
The Bombayers claim that their city
is the greatest cotton market in the
world, except New Orleans and Gal
weston, but it is doubtful IL Bombay
handles as much cotton as Savannah,
1t certainly doesn't export nearly as
much.
Japan is India's best customer for
cotton, and Germany comes next.
Strange to say. England takes very lit
tie, for the reason, doubtless, that the
staple is too short But, in view of the
fact that England is doing all she can
to encourage the growing of cotton in
her colonies, it would naturally be sup
posed she would be one of India's best
customers.
A glance at India's cotton acreage
reveals the fact that her cotton lands
are not very productive. Probably her
farmers haven't the means to purchase
commercial fertilizers. The area
planted in cotton in 1904 was nearly
$500, 600 acres. This was about two
thirds of the area planted in this coun-
try.
The cost of producing cotton in In
dia is much less than it is in this coun-
try, owing to the cheapness of labor,
wages being only a few cents days
to 10 cents. And the wages OF cotton
mill operatives are equally as low.
Even those occupying responsible po-
sitions, such as clerks and bookkeepers,
get only about $3.50 to $3.50 per month.
With such scale of wages it would
seem as IL the cotton mills of India
could undersell those of any other coun-
try. Perhaps the explanation is that
the wage-workers are not as competent
as those of this and European coun-
tries are. But when the labor market
is as crowded as it is in India, it is inn
possible for wages to be otherwise than
low. 1t is said that Of the 200, 1000, 600
agricultural laborers of that country
so 600, 900 could easily be spared. 1t is
easy to understand, therefore, why
there is so much suffering in times of
drought.

Companion. lie had gone against
the advice of friends, and his savings
of years had been lost by unwise in
idly out through the park to the lake
front. He was in despair. The Phila-
delphia Telegraph tells how he was
shaken out of his fears for the future
by the courage OF another man.
AS he stood there, wondering how he
could face the future, an old man
came along and lifted a bundle of
sticks from his back.
What are you doing with those
sticks?" the unhappy man asked.
Carrying them home" responded
the old man.
What for? To burn?"

What are skewers?"
Little sticks that butchers use to
hold meat together"
How many can you make out of
that bundle of sticks?"

Forty CENTS
"A thousand?"
Yes"
How many thousand can you whit

"Oh, no. I have a pension of 81 a

And with that and the skewers you
get enough to live on?"
Yes"
you seem to be happy"
well, yes; I've had luck to-day.
You see, l usually have to walk five
or six miles to get my sticks for the
skewers, and that takes up all the day.
Well, to-day had the luck to find a
mate who had been out, and he got
more than he could bring home. so he
gave me these. Which way do you go,
sir?'
Back to the city"
Il hope you have work, sir" said the
old man.
II think can find some,' responded
the man, with a little smile. I'm go
ing to try"
Good luck to you!" said the old
man, picking up his bundle, as the
city man stepped out briskly towards
home.

A Lincoln story by Depew.

Senator Depew has personal REM
iniscence of President Lincoln, which
he related the other day in the course
of a speech before the Senate, says the
Washington Post.
II remember" said Mr.. Depew, be
ing in the executive mansion at one
time and in Mr.. Lincoln's office when
a telegram was handed to him which
gave the information that "a brigadier
general through foolishness of an ex-
IRENE sort, had been captured down
in Virginia. In his command was
long train of pack wagons and mules.
Mr., Lincoln read the dispatch and
then, as he took up his pen, said:
with that pen can make a brig

not replace those mules.

Do you feel like sneezing? Then
sneeze until the desire has been re-
heved. Do you feel like coughing?
Then cough. Both are natures reme-
dies, according to DR.. w. C. Latson.
in the Health Culture Magazine. He
say that, should one begin to sneeze
while sitting in a ,draught, it is I'M
wise to move out of the draught; sit
in it and sneeze until the irritant that
is tickling the mucous membranes of
the nose has. been expelled; the draught
gives the extra amount of oxygen
needed just at that particular time.
Instead of trying to stop a cough with
nostrums, DR.. Latson Says the best
thing to do is to let the cough take
its course. The cough does for the
lungs and throat what the sneeze does
for the nose--clears out irritants that
had best be got rid of as soon as posi-
BILE. and nature has provided the way
for their expulsion.

According to an interview with
Madame Patti, reported in the New
York American, that famous song
stress is mighty glad to get away
from America. Her tour didn't turn
out as she expected it would. She
came here with the hope of carrying
away with her about $500, 900. She
won't take near that amount back to
her home with her. 1t is her opinion
that Americans have degenerated
greatly within the last few years.
They are not nearly so fond of art
as they once were-that is, of PATHS
voice. Perhaps something is the mat
ter with the voice. In the course of
her interview she said: "Once
thought the day would never come
when the Americans would rather see
a prize fight than hear me sing" The
occasion for this remark was that at
Philadelphia the entire population turn
ed out to see a prize fight and PATHS
engagement there was cancelled. She
said: Il am greatly mortified to think
how l have been subjected to the pre-
vailing vulgarity of Americans" That
settles it. Patti will never be en-
couiaged to make another farewell
tour in this country. And yet she
ought not to complain. She will car
~ back to Wales with her about $780,
900, the same being the proceeds of
the concerts she gave. Doubtless the
most of those who attended her con-
certs did so from curiosity rather than
for the pleasure of hearing her sing.

James c. Carter, the distinguished
New York lawyer, made some point
ed remarks a day or two ago with
respect to the metropolitan excise
laws. He asserted that certain of
those laws never had been enforced
and never would be enforced, because
the people did not want them. 1T is
a gross error" he said, ito believe
that any and every law which the
Legislature chooses to enact can en-
force itself" Many reformers seem
to be irnbued with that idea. If they
can only secure the passage of a GER
tain law by the Legislature, they seem
to think the whole end accomplished
and that the law will operate auto
matically to enforce itself. At the
same time, Mr.. Carter said he was
convinced that the objectionable laws
would not be changed as long
as the party in power be-
lieves it has an interest in
maintaining them. That is what
Mayor Harrison of Chicago calls
-four flushing" The party in power
knows the laws will not be enforced,
but it will not change them because
they go to make up a good-Iooking and
highly moral code book.

Bad Medicine Brings His Execution

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18.-Unapacha
Heecha, one Of the great medicine-m men
of the Piutes. is dead. slain by a tribes
man because he failed to propitiate
the evil spirit and bring better condi-
tons among the tribes, which live
along the Colorado. His slayer. Orda
Mocha. killed himself in obedience to
an order of the chiefs. The double
killing occurred a few days ago north
of Spears lake, 10 miles from Needles
The medicine man was condemned
to death because of his failure to drive
away a spell which is rapidly killing
off the tribe. At a conclave his death
was decided upon. He was ordered
from the land where his hut had stood
for many years. He failed to go, be-
lieving that as soon as he stepped from
the boundary of his property, which
is supposed to be consecrated, that he
would die. Mocha succeeded in get
ting him off the desired land by fight
ing the medicine man in his own house.
After that he shot Heecha through the
head and turned the gun on himself.

STORY COMES FROM SOUND HE
WILL SUPPORT SWEENEY
FOR SENATOR.
Cannot Keep Promises Made to Wilson
and Foster Prior to the Lat.
Election.

The story comes from the sound that
the politicians need not be surprised
when the senatorial battle opens up
in Olympia in January if Governor
elect Mead is found lined up with the
friends of Candidate Sweeny of Spo-
kane. Although Mr. Mead has public
ly announced that he will not take
any part in the senatorial election, yet
it is stated that he is up against the
real thing SO far as supporting a
west side man is concerned. There is
no longer any doubt that Mead re-
ceived the support of John L. Wilson
and his paper in the recent campaign,
with the expectation that in return he
would throw his influence to Wilson
when he came up for United States
senate. When the friends of Senator
Foster showed SO much apathy early
in the campaign, it was then that
Mead'S supporters went to the Ia
coma mans managers and promised
if the Foster forces would lend their
best endeavors toward carrying Pierce
county for Mead, in the event of
Mead's election they could count on
the undivided support of Mead and his
friends. The Foster supporters kept
their promises and Mead carried the
county. This was made possible
through the personal efforts of Sena-
tor Foster, who urged his employees in
Mead. Realizing that he cannot stand

court ROOM The $12,OOO,OOO that will

Uncle McGregor who died four years

young McGregor is convicted that his
aunt will cut him off from a further
share in the estate.
