SLUMP IN
COTTON
PRICES

New York, Dec. s.-The government es-
innate OF the cotton crop, placing the
yield at 12,1s2, 900 bales. issued today was
a surprise to more people, perhaps than
any government report OF recent years.
While few OF the more extrome bears
had been taking 100000 bales or over.
the average opinion even in bearish cir
cles locally was that the government es-
innate would be under that figure.
The announcement was followed by an
other sensational break in prices. The de-
cline that has been in progress now for
over a month and carried the market
down from II cents to s1a cents. proved in
sufficient in the estimation OF the trade to
fully reflect the new condition OF affairs
and a crop OF the size reported.
There was undoubtedly big short in
terest in the market but>i in spite OF COW
ering, prices declined nearly half a cent
in less than half an hour OF trading.
January, which was sold around $50
during the forenoon, was depressed 10
about $40 and other months suffered IN
like measure.
The market was very excited with trad
ing exceedingly active.

New York. Dec. s-GeorRe Ryall, New
York attorney for Mr.. Newton said to-
day that he was not at all disturbed by
the news from Cleveland that a petition
in bankruptcy had been filed against Mrs.
Chadwick. Mr.. Newton's claim was Sc
cure. he said. and he felt sure that the
bankruptcy proceedings would not seri-
ously interfere with the settlement. II
might however, cause delay OF day or
two Mr. Ryall said that the hurried visit
OF Mr.. Carver. Mr.. Newton's Boston at
torney TO this city, was without signih-
sance.
This opinion was not shared by Leo
Frank OF counsel for the firm OF Jacques
Karkauer of this city which filed the pc
tition in bankruptcy against Mrs. Chad
wick In Cleveland yesterday
Mr. Frank said today that the pro-
ceedings would tie up all Of Mrs. Chad
wicks property and would prevent the
settlement of claims against her.
He said, however, that If some friend
OF Mrs. Chadwick put up the cash 10 set
tie any claim. like the Newton claim. for
instance, IL could he done, as such ac-
tion would have no effect on her assets.
Mr.. Frank said that he asked Kra-
kauer's Cleveland attorney for state
ment regarding the amount of Mrs. Chad
wick's assets and that he expected an
answer by Monday.
PROPERTY TIED UP.
Phillip Carpenter. associate counsel for
Mrs. Chadwick. said that the Newton
claim settlement probably would not be
interfered with by the bankruptcy petit
tion.
THE bankruptcy petition ties up the
property of the woman and the petition
is OF date" said Mr.. Carpenter, that
Is 10 say, the property that Mrs Chad
wick has at the moment OF the fling of
the petition is tied up. but any prop
erty which may come to her after the
date of the fllng of the involuntary pc
tition Is hers to dispose OF as she likes. ="
Then it Ia possible that Newton $
claim can be settled through some
friends?" was asked.
Yes. Such is the case was the re-
ply.
Mr.. Carpenter said that neither he nor
Mrs. Chadwick had been served with no.
tification OF the bankruptcy proceedings.
He said he did not believe Mrs. Chads
wick would leave New York today 10 60

Il was making little tour of SUI
burban county in my automobile last
summer" said a New Yorker, relates the
Sun, and one day drew off to one side
OF the road with my machine and stopped
10 let an approaching farm tam pass.
Inc team came up, showing no fear at
the sight OF the auto, and hailed the
farmer IN the wagon. He stopped his
team.
I'm glad to see that the horses
through here have become used to the
automobiles and are no longer fright
ened by Them l said.
Yes replied the farmer, but it's a
big setback to US farmers. It's goin' to
raise our taxes like all possessed
Raise your taxes! said l.
Yes, he replied. You see, some of
our Teller citizens has been hot foot fer
good while back to have the town git
one o these steam road maxim ma
chlnes, and they cost TREMENDOUSLY 900
or $o,OO0-and we've been objectin' to it
every time, and carryin' our pint, on the
ground that one o them machines work.
in on the road and tinkerin' of 'em up
all the time would be everlastin'ly sheer
in, our bosses so at every turn that
there'd be nothin' but smashed wagons
and broken bones in the town from one
years end to t'other, and it wouldn't
be safe fer us to drive nowheres.'
Well? said not little puzzled
Well continued the farmer, then
by and by along comes the automobiles
of all kinds and sizes and shapes, and
with all sorts O. noises, and the first
thing as farmers knows it gifts so our
HOSES amt no more afeard of em and
don't keer no more about em than if
they was only OK teams geehawin' by
And that knocks u.s.
How SOP said 1, still puzzled.
How SOP responded the farmer
Why. consarn it, If our bosses amt
skeered by automobiles. of course they
amt goin' to mind steam road maxim
machine, and SO we hain't got no legs
to stand on in arguin' ag'in the gittin of
one! And they're goin' to get one and
set it to work, and our taxes is goin'
to be bumped up like all possessed to
pay fer it! Two or three thousand dol
lars, and all because our bosses has got
used to automobiles on the roads, and
won't skeer no more! Big setback? 1
should say so: Geet up, Bill!
And the farmer drove on but he
didn't appear to be as much cast down
over the setback as one might have
thought.

BOY SCHOOL TEACHER.
Although But l3 Years Old He Lar
ruped n Pupil Who Was Nearly
Thrice His Weight.

The youngest pedagogue in Missouri,
and perhaps in the United States, is
teaching country school near Gaines
Vile, III the Ozark mountains. He is
Glenn Harrison, aged IL years. Glenn
is the eldest son OF Guy Il. Harrison. a
lawyer.
He completed the course of study of
the Gainesville public schools in March,
1902. The same month he took the ex-
animation given candidates for third
grade teachers certificates in Ozark
county, making good average and Sc
curing a certificate. He continued to
study, and just after he became 10
years old he took the examination for
a second grade certificate. This time
his average grade was the highest made,
being So per cent. Mr. Harrison be-
lieved his promising son was too young
to teach and refused to let him accept
several offers. But one day when his
father was absent attending court,
Glenn took the job of teacher of rural
district, the directors Of which came
and offered him the place. He began
work before his father returned, and
the latter, finding him so ambitious,
decided not to interfere.
Glenn now has 20 pupils. The major
ity are larger and older than he, but
he maintains a degree of discipline
which many older and more experienced
teachers may we'll envy. How are
you getting along, Glenn?" asked his
mother one day, when he came home
at the end of weeks work. 81 had

JoHNNY's LATEST ESSAY.
Subject Is the Hog, and the knowl-
edge He Displays Still Leaves
Him Star Scholar.

The hog is called hog b'cuz he makes
a hog of himself. 1t runs in the family.
All hogs are hogs.
The hog has two sides to his charac-
ter, one of which is good to eat and the
other we can't SO cordjully admire. AS
an article of diet the hog is one of the
warmest friends to the human race
that know of. Most of him is good for
food and the rest is useful in making
sausages, bristle brushes and other
utensils. Nearly everything about him
is palatable but his voice. The latter
always seems to me to sound as if L.
had kind O. soured. 1t is said that you
can't make silk purse out of lady
hogs ear. have never heard of any
fool big enough to try it.
AS citizen the hog is not so warm.
His manners and instincts are gross in
the extreme, and his sole ambition
pears to be to eat from early morn till
far into the night When man is dead
he becomes the late Mr.. So-and-So, and
we say nice things about him. When a
hog is dead he is pork and pa often says:
"Confound this pork" When eat too
much pa calls me pig. A pig is hogs
little boy. This is all know about til,
hoo
