about 10 points, finally closing about l
point lower than last night, but spots

weather was experienced in the cotton
belt, the temperature in the Memphis dis
trct averaging As and killing frosts were
noted in northern states. TherS was not
much rain report, however, except at
New Orleans, and as temperatures were
not low enough to cause any uneasiness,
much less any damage, the market after
opening 10 points higher than yesterday
December 8 SO, declined to 990-it was no
ticed that there was not much cotton for
sale, either spots or futures, except at
advancing prices. A firm undercurrent
was observed and as there was good in
quiry for actual cotton at an advance of
ZIG, the market worked upward, Decem-
Der selling at 10.05. % points higher than
the closing last night, finally closing at
10 016l10.02. The local spot market was
quoted firm in monthly revision, good

Liverpool state there will be larger de-
mand for spots when more cotton arrives
there. Manchester doing good business
The opinion prevails that as exporters
have bought but little of spots so far to
fill early October engagements, they Will
now be obliged to enter the market at a
time when receipts are expected to run
smaller than heretofore, and as we only
have a stock In presses of 63254 vs.. SPA

early October sailings to fill may find
themselves in competition with exporters

street Monday night to attend the
drawing for a Bucks Heater" which
Mr.. Bode gave to the holder of the
lucky number. The stove was won by
a Mr.. Forrest who resides on Mi1wau-

success and it will no doubt be a
business bringer to the popular Park

Is bound that he shall marry you.

Neutralizing It.

Neutralizlng It,
In Happy Hollow lived a man
Without a single trouble,
Because he had evolved a plan
To have his troubles double.
So, when a trouble came his way,
He hunted for it's brother,
And thus he would make out to play
The one against the other.
Suppose his bills were overdue,
So large he could not settle,
And that the man would not renew,
But wanted good gold metal
Instead of kicking up q fuss
He'd treat it as bubble,
Or have jumping tooth, and thus
Forget his other trouble.

usual that the boy was not taken to
jail.
| The boy, who was bright-eyed
lad, gave his name as Eddie Smith,
and he was years old. Shortly after
s O'Clock Monday night he went to the
house on Park avenue and asked for
help. He stated that his father was
| Ill and that his mother and sisters
were at home suffering from lack of
food and clothing. The woman of
1.-THE house came to the conclusion that
| the case of restitution should be
brought to the notice of the police
and Chief Reino1d was at once te1e-
| phoned for. He went at once to the
house and took the boy into custody.
The two started for the police Office,
but they had gone but a few steps
when the boy broke away and started
to run through the park. The chief
caught him and he began to shout for
aid. Then woman approached from
out of the shadow of the library and
stated that she was the sister of the
boys mother and that she knew that
the boy was all right. Later the
woman stated that she was the moth
er OF the boys sister, and, finally,
after many questions, she admitted
| that she was the mother of the boy.
The chief discovered that the two
| had been working as beggars for
some time and that they had managed
to secure quite little aid from the
well to do families in the city. He
went with them to the home out in the
west portion of the city and found the
father sitting at home. The father
was found to be one of the best known
employees of the Balm factory and a
man wholly capable of supporting his
wife and two children. Tears flowed
freely when the woman and the boy
! discovered that their game had been
interrupted by the police and the hus-
band pleaded that the woman and boy
be allowed to go without being ar
rested, declaring that he would see TO
it that the begging act did not occur
again. The woman had been admit
ted to the best circles of society in
that portion of the city, yet the hus-
band admitted that she had been 1iv-
ing this double life for some time con-
trary to his wishes.
The husband went to the office of
the chief this morning and explained
that the woman and boy had been beg
ging for some time, and that while he
had opposed such an action, they had
insisted in doing it contrary to his
wishes. He insisted that the fault
was wholly with the woman and that
she had taught the little boy to tell
the plaintive story by which he man
aged to secure the things from the
people. The case is one of the most
unusual ever reported to the police of
Kenosha.

The Schoolma'arra,

Fresh as draft from mountain pool,
Bright as lowland daisy,
She comes to teach the district school
And set the natives crazy,
For widower, youth, wit and Ounce
Will fall in love with her at once.
She comes with earnestness intense,
With purpose grand and high,
To pound perhaps little sense
In heads Of learning shy,
While wrapped UP In the teaching art
To break, say once day, heart.
