CHAPTER III.

The effect of Reuben Culwick's an
nouncement upon his father was remark
able. The big man rose from his chair
with his two large hands clenched, and
his face of a deep purplish hue, and
glared at his son in speechless wrath.
Then he sank slowly and heavily into his
seat again, and painted for awhile. The
dark coloring left the face. but the bushy
black brows retained their lower curves
over the eyes, and the mouth was hard
and fixed, until the lips parted slightly to
allow few words to escape.
And this is the first time you tell me
that you were in league with your moth
er"
YES" answered Reuben, politely. 81
was a willful lad who had not been
brought up well or looked after carefully,
and l had been only taught to fear you.
Ny mother, who had been separated from
you for some years, was learning to re-
spect then. When we quarreled, I went
to take care of her as we'll as could. I
was with her when she died"
You know how hated your play-act-
ing mother-how she hated me. Why do
you tell me that you sided with her, when
it would be so much the better policy TO
keep this to yourselfT' said the father,
bitterly.
Because I am not afraid of you any
longer-because l see now where you
were wrong"
And you expect me to forgive this de-
ceit, as old men do at the end of play %
Or toward the end of their lives" add
ed Reuben.
Don't talk to me of the end of my
llfe." he cried; 81 dare say you have
thought enough of it-have considered
that it would be as well to sink your
cursed pride and your curseder temper,
and come here in prodigal-son fashion.
But it won't do; I'm not a man to be
hoodwinked in that way
L am not sorry to have seen you, faith

my way-a long way out of ito reach

The Dre.sius-sack Woman.

There is a popular delusion to the
effect that household tasks require slip
shod garments and unkempt hair. Let
the frowsy ones contemplate the
trained nurse in her spotless uniform,
with her snowy cap and apron and her
shining hair. Let the doubling ones
go to a cooking school and see a neat
young woman in blue gingham gown
and white apron prepare an eight
course dinner, and emerge spotess
from the ordeal.
The woman who puts on an apron
over her dressing sack by that act
openly proclaims that the thing would
be better If it was belted in. Then
why not shirt waist? Does one ever
see trained nurse in dressing sack,
even when she does heavier work than
any other woman Is ever called upon
to do? If woman in the uniform of
trained nurse can do the manifold
things assigned to her calling, surely
the laundress and the cook do not need
a dressing sack.
There is a cynical adage that runs
thus: strangers for help, friends for
advice and relatives for nothing" Few
of us will be bold enough to say there
Is no truth in it, and the reason is not
far to seek. Who should help us If
not those who always see our best
side? Strangers think us charming,
friends admit but pardon our faults,
and relatives fight with us.
We make our houses spotless for a
stranger, but friends can take us as
we are. For a new acquaintance there
Is purple and fine linen, while we offer
our friends cold potatoes and remnants
Of pie. The solid silver and dainty en-
broideries are put away for the stran-
ger, while ones husband, who, in
way, is a relative by marriage, eats
eft-overs out of nicked dishes, and con-
templates a dressing sack between
mouthfuls.-The Pilgrim.

Safe Way to Clean Carpets,


An experienced chemist says the
following recipe is warranted to re-
move soil and spots from the most
delicate carpets without injuring
them.
Make a suds with good white soap
and hot water, and add fullers' earth
to this until the consistency of thin
cream is secured. Have plenty of
clean drying cloth, a small scrubbing
brush, large sponge and a pail of
fresh water. Put some Of the clean
ing mixture in bowl and dip brush
in it; brush a small piece Of the car;
pet with this; then wash with the
sponge and cold water. Dry as much
as possible with the sponge, and fin
ally rub with dry cloths. Continue
this till you are sure that all the car
pet is clean; then let it dry.-Chicago

Women az Farm Owners.

Women az Farm Owners.
The number Of women in the United
States who are studying agriculture
grows larger every year. Nearly all
agricultural departments Of Western
universities and colleges admit wom-
en- on equal terms with men, and there
are a number Of Eastern institutions
where they are welcomed Secretary
Wilson SO far approves Of women as
farmers that he frequently addresses
classes in the Columbia Normal School,,
Washington, where there are forty
woman pupils, and elsewhere. 1t is
Secretary Wilson's hope that agrtcul-
ture, or the first principles Of the sci
ence, will soon be part of the cur
riculum in every rural school, and this
will mean that thousands of women
will have to take normal courses In ag-
ricultural science in order to fit them
selves for teachers.
In Western schools and colleges OF
agriculture are many girls who have in
herited, or expect to inherit, large
farms, which they will manage them
selves. Others study special branches
of farming, such as dairying, small
fruit growing, market gardening etc.
Women are well fitted for these
branches, and have made them profit
able in so many parts of the country
that all doubt of the wisdom Of this
choice Of a profession seems to be dis
PEELED
A new kind Of special farming has
recently engaged the attention Of wom-
en- in the Eastern States. At the fruit
and flower shows given each autumn
In New York much interest has at
tached to experiments In growing cul-
hvated varieties of chesmuts, pecans,
wa1nuts, etc. Larger tracts Of lands In
Southern New Jersey have been plant
ed with choice nut trees, the Italian
and Japanese giant chestnut CHEZ
among them. One young woman went
into partnership with her brother in
planting twenty acres Of land owned
by them, and few years Later re-
signed a well-paying position in
New York law Office to attend to the
growing business Of their nut farm.
She looks after every detail of the
work-the gathering and shipping of
the crop, and the correspondence, and
will probably one day become the sole
owner Of the property.-New York

time should decline about as rapidly as
it went up. over IA cents there was
nothing to buy cotton on. On a break
towards 13 cents there are many
claims to be considered. The situa-
ton is rather peculiar, and those who
buy cotton must trade on moderate
scale to make money. There is no
reason to look for a crop under TO-
300, 900 bales and it may be over that
by 100000 bales. What is there to buy
cotton on at IA cents under these con-
ditions? Nothing. After a break of a
cent, why things are different. But
it must not be forgotten that the bull
cause has received a severe blow.
When this is the case, one is tempted
to look more at legitimate factors and
these are hardly of a bullish nature.
The crop is not a small crop.
And prices have been sent to artificial
figures on brute force of speculation,
not on legitimate conditions. When
the real size of the crop is known we
may see some very decided develop
ments. For the time being things are
not very encouraging. We would take
aboard a little cotton as the price
works to 13 cents. This is the only
way to do anything in the market. Do
not buy on advances, and only buy on
big breaks. The market looks to be
working lower to the rank outsiders.

over the wires, and this added to the
general pessimistic tone of the day.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet at a decline OF II
points on liquidation and room selling,
in the absence of bull support.
Cables were a little below expecta-
lions and receipts for the day were
rather heavier, and there was further
expectation of European complications
in the Far Eastern trouble. These
factors seemed to restrict outside buy
ing orders. and later the heavy esti-
mate for Houston eXerted bearish
influence. so that prices continued 20
work downward until shortly after
midday stop loss orders were reached,
and a we'll directed bear drive brought
about heavy liquidation while senti-
ment was further unsettled by rumors
of disagreement among New Orleans
bull leaders. The report of the census
bureau also had a bedrish effect on
sentiment, showing that the average
weight of the bales was about twenty
pounds in excess of last year.
Trading was not more than moder-
ately active, even on the break, but
there seemed little or no demand ex-
cept for shorts taking profits, and the
market closed al the bottom, net de-
cline of 49q109 points. with the tone
weak.
At the lowest July sold at Il CSC. clos
ing 1292c bid. this being the lowest
point reached since the down.
ward movement began about
two weeks ago, and which has
carried the July option down from
1850 to to-days price, a loss of about
460 points.
1t is reported that strong bear clique
has been formed under the leadership
of a prominent Wall Street operator
who has not been active in the market
since this time last year, and the opera
tions of this party were believed to be
in some measure responsible for the
days declines.
The local bull leader was present but
appeared to be taking no active part in
the market with the rumor circulat ting
that he was selling quietly through the
entire session. The report of the census
bureau caused some confusion. The
weights given are gross and comparing
with the same character of figures last
year. the average weight, counting
round bales as half bales, is practically
identical with last years figures; this
seasons weight being placed at 502.1
pounds against 502 last year. Applying
these weights to the ginneries report of
last week, it indicates that 9,525, 996
bales of 500 pounds each had been
ginned to Jan. 16.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The market during the week just
ended has been steady. The unsold
stock consists principally of holding
cotton. which owners are willing to
sell at 30c.
The present quotations are for cot
ton from current receipts, in which
business is being done.
Transactions have been small and
quotations. therefore, represent asking
prices, rather than large sales.
The total crop in sight is IS, 727 bales,
against 81 ,292 bales last year, and the
crop is 22565 behind.
Receipts at all ports are 105 larger
than this time a year ago, due to the
unusually large receipts at Jackson
Vile, Fla, where the total number of
bales up TO date is 1921. against 5,675
last year.
