 Cotton was cultivated in Queensland by persons who had Httle or no previous ex- perience. yet they found that the plant grew well and they quickly learned to adapt themselves to the new industry.
 A knowledge of the above facts has prompted the British Cotton Association to send a representative to Queensland. who Is now investigating the feasibility Of cotton production on large scale, and the premier has asked him to submit proposals relative to the matter.
 Tn 1S9S-99 the, cotton expert of the State made some experiments in cotton grow ing on the State experimental farm at Mconbi. 200 miles north of Newcastle, where two acres were planted in cotton. The growing season was one not only of extraordinary drought, but of high winds during the first three nor ths of the crop year. Upland cultivated crops through out the district were entire failures, with very few exceptions, yet the cotton un- der cultivation held its own with lucern in remaining green and continued to grow when ali other vegetation was at a standstill. This experiment satisfied the expert that lint cotton of excellent type and quality may be grown in New South Wales but just where this cotton will stand in the markets of the world he can mot tell with precision, yet he believes that 1t will rank with the best fiber grown in the world.

1 the dressmaker was relating the story of the rude assault. But Cal Stevens wife always did have @ mean tongue.
 Rhoda Wilkins was the next. She was going along the same road trav- ersed by Belle Jackson when the kis- ser embraced her with the same dex- terfty and in the same ardent man ner he had shown s.on the two pre- vious occasions. It began to grow se- rious. Mrs. Payne, who never thought that the kisser would have the bold ness to attack a married woman, and in this belief ventured the dangerous highway. found out her mistake. She was kissed too, and three other mar ried women were obliged to submit to the same indignity within two weeks. Lisha Payne got out his shotgun and lay in wait the best part of one night and other exasperated husbands and swains watched for the osculatory ma niac, but In vain. For a time, at least, Jack the Kisser seemed to have dis appeared.
 Mrs. Malachi Blevins was one of the few who had escaped the terrible ems braces of the mysterious unknown. She remarked that she would like to see the color of the hair of any two-legged man who would dare to kiss her. She did not intend the remark to be taken literally. In spite of her immunity, however, Deacon Malachi showed per- haps as much excitement and indig- nation as any man in town.
 "Td jest like ter ketch a holt of him." he said to Mrs. Plimpsey. I'm a law abidin' man an a man O peace. but such doin's Is scan'lous, an I'd be apt to make an example of him"

TO COMPLETE SEA WALL.

Historic Jamestown to be Protected from the James.
 Washington, April 27.--(Specia1.)-- The War Department is preparing to complete the sea wall at Jamestown. in accordance with the law recently passed by Congress appropriating s25.- 900 for that purpose. The James river has been steadily eating away the bank of the island, and except for the patriotic action of Congress, the his- toric part of the island upon which Anglo-Saxon civilization first took root on the American continent would soon have been obliterated. The engineer corps will at once begin the work of saving the island. The first step will be to advertise for bids which will be done immediately. Then the work will be taken up and Jamestown will be preserved to future generations, with all its history and with all It's land marks.
 Jamestown differs from almost any other historic spot in America. The very footprints of the people who started the star of empire on It's west ward course are still there. It's church spire. its foundation walls. It's ceme- tery, are still there. It Is the one place where the hand of progress has been stayed. where one may easily imagine himself in surroundings of three hun dred years ago.
 There has been no hand so ruthless as would rage its sacred walls or blot its historic scenes, and so to-day, like like an oasis in a desert, 1t Is a little spot of scenery and associations of the dawning the seventeenth century with twentieth century civilization all around It. On the island Is seventeenth century scenes and on the muddy riv. CT the commerce of the present day, and at single glance one may take in the vista of all the years between. The rescue of the island Is the first step toward the celebration of its settle ment three hundred years ago, which will take place at Hampton Roads in l9O7 where it is planned to have the most imposing naval and marine spec tacle the world has ever seen.

 When Mrs. Plimpsey suddenly felt herself in the sudden clasp of a pair of strong arms in the gloom of the Wilkinses lane that evening, she pos- sibly regretted that she had not heed ed the deacon's advice, but at all events she retained her self-posses- sion. Recognizing the futility of re- sistance she meekly surrendered her lips to the spoiler. but just as he drew away for breath she made a sudden snatch at the red beard that was pIessIng her peachy cheek.

Pensacola. Fla, April 27.-(speciaL) James Simmons and J. T. Rocker. white boys from Atlanta. Ga. and said to be the sons of wealthy parents. were yesterday afternoon taken from the Russian bark Ymer, just before that vessel started on long voyage to Rosario, Argentina. The boys had signed for the voyage and would have been on the high seas to-day had not the Russian vice consul interfered and showed to the master of the vessel that the boys were under age.
 These youngsters are of an adven- turesome turn of mind. They came here a few days ago. they say, for the pur- pose of going to sea. They wanted ex- |citement, and to see the world. Cast ing around. they found that the vessel above named would soon set sail for the foreign port and decided to make the, journey. They readily attached their names to the articles of the Ymer and were on the vessel for several days before pilot was summoned. Then their plight was discovered and they were released upon a showing from the Russian consul.
 Rocker and Simmons are now at the home of Deputy Harbor Master Price. who has interested himself in their behalf. They were without money and would have fallen into the hands of the police for vagrancy had not he picked them up and notified their parents.

 Belle Jackson was the first victim. Belle was a particularly plump and kissable. girl and her report of the out rage to which she had been subjected ocoasioned no surprise.

 Miss Caroline Gansing, the dress maker, was kissed a night or two later. It was almost dark when this hap pened, which. some of the women said, accounted for it. In consequence of the darkness Miss Gansing could not give a very good description of her assailant, but she was sure that he was tall.

Good Basehall Game.

The benefit game of baseball at Pal metto Beach yesterday drew more than 1000 people. and the question of trans portation was serious one. Five hum dred persons at baseball game Is us- ually the attendance at Pensacola, and the transportation company's equip ment is about suited to that number. When 1t came to handling more than four times that many, 1t will be seen what a serious question 1t was.

The score stood 9 to in favor of the Fleet team. and was witnessed by at least 1000 men from the naval vessels, who never forgot to testify to their enthusiasm at each and every opportunity.
