A Touching Tribute.

In tiny country village in New
England a woman died recently and
her relatives, friends and neighbors
decided that woman who had been
so popular in life deserved something
out of the ordinaS in the way of a
funeral.
The village did not boast of a band,
but it had drum corps, which was
hired to do honor to the occasion.
Solemnly it played on the way to the
cemetery, but on the return it was
asked to play something livelier as a
sort of quickstep home.
But the drum corps had made a
speciality of serious music and knew
only one lively air. However, it was
perfectly willing to play the only
cheerful bit of music it knew, and
the funeral procession went cheerily
home on the strains of The Girl
Left Behind Me-"

The latest figures of the cotton crop
of the world as estimated by the de-
partment Of agriculture at washington
place the yield Of 19O2-03. at. a little
over 100000 bales. AS the worlds
crop until few years ago was about
100000 bales year, this shows an
increase which ought to give some sat
isfaction to manufacturers and con-
suners, even though the increase is
far less than it ought to be and than
it's likely to be in the next few years,
owing to the impetus which will be
given to production by the high prices
that have recently prevailed. 1T may
be noted, however, that the increase in
production has been almost entirely
outside of this country, as the annual
yield of the United States has remained
practically stationary. The outside
world is increasing it's yield at a far
higher rate than the average person in
this country imagines. Asia and At
rica are being exploited by the cotton
growing experimenters of Europe with
a zeal which was not known in the
past. There is a demand among the
manufacturers of the old world for the
discovery of new fields which will
emancipate them from the despotism
OF the American cotton gamblers of
the Sully type. The estimate Of the de-
partment of agriculture last December
that the cotton crop for 1908 was less
than 100000 bales would have justi-
fed some advance in the price. The
destruction by the weevil, too, could
have accounted Iegitimately for a.
slight increase In the quotation. But
the gamblers were not satisfied by any
gain that could be reasonably expected
from these conditions. They sent the
could not possibly be held except for
a few weeks. In doing this they in
jured thousands of persons throughout
the country who were foolishly de-
luded into buying for further rise,
they closed many mills, threw thou
sands of wage earners out of work and
advanced the price of cotton goods to
the tens Of millions of consumers. The
increase in the outside worlds yield Of
cotton will probably be followed by a
still greater gain in the present and
coming years, correspondingIy Iowet-
ing the price and demand for our own
product. Thus it is that men like Sully
do an irreparable damage to a great
| industry.

Some interesting statistics were
