The average veteran of the great
Civil War is not averse to telling and
retelling the tales of heroism of the
days of the sixties. Each veteran has
his stock of stories, and they are US
ually good ones. But sometimes story
telling pals on even a veteran, as was
illustrated in New York the other day.
John Mitchell, who is now a Waterman
in that city, was a gallant soldier I'M
der Longstreet and participated in
nearly all of that generals great en-
gagements. Mitchell has a son, aged 80,
who never tires of hearing his father
tell war tales. So fond is he of the
stories that he has been in the habit
of awakening the old man at all hours
of the night and begging for a war tale
The other night the son, Henry, shook
the old mans shoulder with the re-
quest, Say, dad, tell me how you shot
Yankees during the war" wait till
morning" pleaded the old man. NO"
said Henry, Il want to hear it now"
Well wait a few minutes and I'll il
lustrate TO you how to make a sur
prise and a capture" The old man got
up, dressed and slipped out of the
house. In few minutes he, came back
with. policeman and had Henry ar
rested and locked up; then he went
back to bed and to sleep. Next day
Henry paid small fine and said he
wouldn't ask for war stories at I'M
seemly hours.

Statistics show that the worlds con-
sumption of cotton has increased L.
100000 bales in twenty years. There are
good reasons for thinking that the in
crease in the next twenty years will
not be less than in the last twenty.
The annual yield of this country is
now around 100000 bales. America is
looked to as the source of the worlds
chief supply of raw cotton, and there
is no present prospect that any other
section of the globe will be able TO en-
ter into serious competition with the
American cotton belt. Therefore the
South is confronted with the necessity
of increasing its crop TO 1900. 900 or
more bales of cotton per year within
the next two decades. If it meets the
expectation. the South will have to
hustle. 1t will have to procure cotton
field laborers- and open more land to
the cultivation of the staple.

When Dewey Wasn't SO Wen
Known.

When Dewey Wasn't SO Wen
Known.
when Admiral Dewey started fo-
his station in the Pacific ocean, prior
to the Spanish war" said railway
man, according to the Philadelphia
Press, "he attracted little attention. on
his way West he took the Baltimore
and Ohio train to Chicago. He and
his secretary had a drawing room.
While they were temporarily absent
from it some one stole $50. This rob-
berry soon became known, and the Of
ficials in Chicago were notified.
Two of the company's trusted off,
GERS were sent down the line to meet
the train. After conversing with the
Admiral, so as to obtain a clew. the
Pullman conductor said another man
had also been robbed. This victim
happened to be a conductor who had
just had his months pay cashed-all
which the robber took possession of.
He was interviewed, and was asked
if he had any suspicious. He said:
Yes, 1 have. 1 believe that short man
in the drawing room (meaning Ad-
miral Dewey has my pile.
"At Chicago Admiral Dewey and the
Baltimore and Ohio officials went into
a restaurant and had something &c
wash the dust down as we'll as to ap-
pease their hunger.
After the battle at Manila the Bal
timore and Ohio official went into the
restaurant and said to the proprietor:
Do you know who that was that
brought in here some time ago? Well
it was Admiral Dewey This was
enough for the proprietor, for he had
the bottle labeled as follows: This is
the kind that Admiral Dewey drinks
to whip the Spanish
ION the Admiral's return he stopped
at the same restaurant and his bottle
was presented to him. He was also
told of the suspicion the conductor who
had been robbed had, and he enjoyed
the joke very much"

Somebody has started the rumor that,
in the course of a speech in 1896, Pres
ident Roosevelt said: Mr.. Bryan and
his adherents have appealed to the bas-
est set in the land the farmers" 1t
Welt SAID no such thing. He may be
hot headed, badly balanced. unsafe in
the executive chair. and all that sort
of thing. but he is no fool. There is
enough that may be said against his
candidacy without putting stupid non
sense into his mouth.

The International Congress of Mas
ter Cotton Spinners, in assembly at
Zurich the other day. adopted a reso-
luton to establish a permanent inter-
national organization to watch the in
terests of the cotton trade These spin
ners are opposed TO high prices for and
corners in raw cotton, and the reso-
luton they adopted called on the va
rious great cotton exchanges to CO.
operate in efforts to prevent corners.
They had in mind the high prices of
the past fall and winter and the So
called Sully corner. But hasn't il been
pretty clearly demonstrated that the
prime cause of the advance in cotton
prices last winter was the shortage in
the supply, rather than any artificial
boosting that Mr. Suly and his friends
gave the market? The chances are that
prices would have advanced as they
did If no such persons as suIiy and
Brown had ever been heard Of in the
cotton trade. Before the spinners can
fix any rule for controlling raw cotton
they will nave 10 find some way Of reg
ulsting supply and demand. Neither
resolutions nor cooperation on the
part u exchanges can make an ade-
quate supply out of a deficient crop.

HOW TO LIVE ON SMALL INCOMES

At the Teachers College in New
York there is now open an exhibition
designed TO show how families may
member. The New York World gives,
from the exhibition, sample menu,
the supposed cost of the three meals
being "a cents for each person, as fol-
lows:
Breakfast-Oranges, cream of wheat,
creamed potatoes, brain croquettes,
pop-oVers, coffee and cream.
Luncheon-Veal, green peas, bread
and butter apple tarts, thick cream.
Dinner-Tomato soup and croutons,
porterhouse steak, baked potatoes, lima
beans. bread and butter. tapioca cream
AS the World observes, the average
city housewife will be apt to smile
when she reads this; for she knows
that with porterhouse steak at % cents
a pound, cream at 10 cents half-pint,
and apples, potatoes and green peas
at present prices, she can serve no
such meal as the above at "a cents
a day. Still, the problem of living on
a few cents a day is not so difficult
of solution, if one cares to limit ones
self to the actual necessaries. For in
stance, we could point TO the workers
in the turpentine forests, who labor
hard from sun to sun on a bill of
fare that costs not more than or 6
cents per meal. The average ration of
a turpentine hand" in the woods, per
week, is five pounds of bacon or pork,
one peck of cornmeal, one quart OF
molasses and pint of salt. The value
OF this ration is about 81 to $1.10. 1t
will not only sustain life, but build
bone and muscle. The turpentine
workers get fat on it. The real prob
lem. then is not really how cheaply
may one live, but how many of the
extras of eating one is willing to do
without.

Stories of a disagreement between
the President and some of the inhuen-
tial Republican senators are rife in
Washington. Among the disaffected
ones are alleged to be Senators Allison
and Spooner, two Warehouses; of Re-
publican politics. They and others think
the President is running things with
too high hand, without consulting
them with respect to matters in which
they think they ought to have a voice.
They object, too, to his Partially for
Senator Lodge, who seems to have be-
come the Presidents right-hand man,
and TO the selection by the President
and Senator Lodge of the men who are
to write the platform and run the con-
Vention. However, it is likely that the
differences will not go beyond the con-
vention. The Republican leaders have
an admirable way of getting together
after the nomination has been made
and working for success.

Editor William Allen White the 9TH
er day neatly called bluff of the Gov
ernor of Kansas. A new law created
the office of state accountant. the
function of which was to examine in
to the accounts of all the state de-
partments. The salary was fixed at ST.
900 year. The Governor failed to
make an appointment. Editor White
wrote an editorial calling attention to
the failure of the Governor to carry
the law into effect, and said he would
take the Office, without salary. The
Governor took him at his word, appar-
emily, and telephoned him to come to
the capital and take office. Mr..
White went to Topeka from Emporia
at once. But on his arrival there the
Governor told him there must be a
mistake somewhere. and an hour later
appointed another man to the office.
Mr.. White said that if he had got hold
of the states accounts he would have
made diligent search for crookedness.

SLOANE GETS
JUDGEMENT

Judge Belt today signed a judgment
awarding Alexander Lloyd Sloane $4,000
damages against the Washington Water
Power company. The company enter
ed a demurrer to the complaint and re
lied on that alone to defeat the COM
plant. The demurrer was over-ruleiA
The company declined to plead further
and Judge Belt then heard the testi-
mony, after which he ordered the com.
pany to pay the $1,000, the amount
demanded.
Alexander Sloane is the boy who
lost a part of his foot in the streetcar
accident last October. The case was
not contested, beyond demurring to the
complaint. The company evidently
thought itself liable for the injury and
rather than have the matter come to
trial waived the preliminary steps and
had the mater adjusted at once.
