The steady advance in cotton
prices met with check, but it Is only
temporary, and II or even Is cents
may be reached. A New York
writer says:
Contracts for goods have been
made go far ahead that many OF the
spinners are now buying futures
for cotton to be delivered to them
next fall, and this buying, coming
along with unfavorable crop news,
has thrown the trade into very
demoralized condition. Even old
time traders fail to see any limits
to which speculation may carry :he
advance.

WORTH WHILE.
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is the one
who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years
And the smile that is worth the
praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without Or within no voice of
Is Turing you soul away;
But it is only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor
of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered TO-
day.
They make up the sum of life,
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow hat hides in 4
smile,
of earth,
For we find them but once in awhile

THE TAIL TWISTERS.

Many American statesmen with the
education of a lawyer, training them
solely for combat in the courts, carry
their combative policy and training
into the affairs of craftsmanship with
unfortunate results. The American
people have been led to look upon
Europe as an enemy to our welfare
and nothing appeals more strongly
to the popular fancy than an exhibi-
ton of craftsmanship in twisting the
tail of Europe. America, however, is
primarily a merchant apd a good
merchant never amuses himself by
trifiing with the interests of his Gus
toners. On the contrary he loses no
opportunity to advance their welfare

This is the policy which the United
States should follow in our CONNER
cial relations with Europe.-W. A.

CRATER Is REAPPoINTED.

Estes G. Rathbone, former fourth
assistant postmaster-general, and for
mer director general of posts in the
Island of Cuba under American oc-
cupation, who was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for a term ranging from
three to eleven year and a fine Of
$1O2.947 for the Cuban postal frauds,
is again in the employ of the post
office department.
By cas- of the amnesty treaty be

Rathbone escaped punishment. When
this became known there was much
criticism of the administration, but no

His reinstatement in a responsible
position, where he is charged with the
