his back in making this fight the
commercial and financial classes,
who have promised to cooperate
materially with them in this
matter.
All now depends upon the
farmer. He has started out
under the most favorable aus
pices, and he can easily win the
fight if he will be true to himself.
The whole world is watching the
outcome of this experiment, be-
cause it will determine for many
years to come whether or not it
is possible for the cotton farmers
to get together and stand to-
gether in a fight for their own
supremacy. Should this expert
ment fail by reason of the in.
difference and shortsightedness
of the farmers, it will mean the
throwing away of the finest
opportunity that has ever come
to him in all the history of cotton
growing.
It will be accepted by the
spectators as confirming the
correctness of the low es timate
they have placed upon the in
telligence of the cotton producer,
and it will make practically i'm.
possible for many years to come
any further general effort for the
relief of this important industry.
The cotton producer is now on
trial before the world. His fate
rests in his own hands, and he
will determine his own destiny
between this time and the first
of July next.

ton. From one supposed to
speak with authority we win
hear that the reduction of
acreage will be full twenty-five
per cent; from another with
apparently equally good facilities
for obtaining information we
hear that it will not be twenty
6ye per cent, and from yet
others the report is that the
acreage will be increased rather
than diminished.
It seems scarcely possible
that intelligent cotton planters,
with their eyes wide open to the
consequences, would be so un-
thinking and so unbusiness like
as to plant a large crop the
present year. They are now
having a most expensive object
lesson in the effects of large
crops upon prices. A year ago,
with a short crop the preceding
year, they were receiving twice
as much per pound for their
cotton as they are now receiving.
The supply failed to meet the
demand, and the result was that
the prices went up to such q
point as to make the short crop
produced far more valuable than
q crop fifty per cent larger would
have been worth. Then, under
the stimulus of high prices, the
large crop of the last season was
produced. It is useless to re-
count the experiences the cotton
market is now undergoing as q.
direct result Of that large crop.
When the market went to
pieces upon receipt of reliable
Information regarding the size
OF the crop, there were those
who expressed the belief that
the cotton planter still had it
within his power to offset the
effect of the large crop. It was
asserted that q judicious market

hined with q reduction in cotton
acreage this year of twenty-five
per cent would enable the farmer.

secure good prices for the re-

well as for that which he will
produce the present year.
A great convention, composed
Of the representatives Of cotton
growers from almost every
county and parish in the cotton
belt assembled in this city and
recommended q reduction Of the
acreage planted in cotton. The
dme has arrived now to put this
suKxsptinn into practice, and
thereby to save the day for the
cotton producers. It was pointed
out that it has been possible to

THE HABIT OF SAVING.

Individuals who save and Gccumu-
late sums of money for lucrative in
vestment are individuals who form the
habit of saving,
To be prodigal of your resources is
natural. tits survival of the primal
nature. Saving is an acquired trait.
1t is necessary, therefore, to form
habits that are conducive to economy.
Many men and women who work for
wages find it very difficult to save,
unless some circumstance forces them
to 1t. The fact that this indulgence
only means dollar or dime, as the
the case may be,is regarded as suffi-
cient excuse to spend the money. It
will take long to acquire a fortune by
laying up the odd pieces of change.
Yet many great institutions derive
their entire patronage from dimes,
nickles and even pennies. The habit
of saving means the saving the little
denominations. 1t is to curb the in
clinations to spend money simply be-
cause the denominations is insignifi-
cant. Any one can save the dollars,
big bills and gold pieces.
That the prodigal side of man is
understood is found in the devices for
catching the pennies and the dimes.
To Offset this and to encourage him to
lay by portion of his earnings, saw
ings banks and the monthly payment
plan for real estate, property assur-
ance, &c., are in existence. Our
wealth is our property. In the pos
session of property is centred our
material well.being, our prosperity
The habit of saving, if persisted in,
will make all men possessors of pro-
perty. The value of that property
and the measure Of our well-being
will depend upon the amount of our
accumulations and the measure ofour
desires. A thrifty people is con-
tented people. Improvidence results
ID want and suffering. Habits of
saving will contribute to individual
happiness and to general prosperity
in proportion as the habit of saving,
thriftiness, becomes habit common
to all the people.

Col. Jim Furlong. who keeps the
big Holland Hotel in Texas, was
thrown into reminiscent mood the
other evening when some one brought
/ up the subject of poker.
"Poker |" said he, IT used to be
quite fond of poker myself. but after

in the Texas Panhandle, few years
ago, / dropped ont of the recreation

Cleaned you up, did theyl" said
Farmer F. c. Hanford of Rochester,
NY, who is down here getting in
the rice crop from his 5000 acre
patch of Cow Bayou prairie.
"Well, I" replied the Colonel, "they
raked in that particular pot, but that
wasn't why Iquit. 1t was the beat
Ing of the hand I held that discour-
aged me. :,
"Ha, ha r. said Farmer Hanford.
"What did you holdp'
-Four aces" responded Col. Jim.
-Four beautiful aces, and they might
just as well have been pair of deuces,
they were downed so easy"
Some one held a straight flush
against you, ehl" said Farmer Han
ford. IT don't see anything so awful
discouraging about that. You might
have kept on with the game until now,
and notruh up against anotherstr

Straight Aush!'' exclaimed the
Colonel. ''You don't suppose a
straight flush would have broken
my heart, do you! No no! I held
four aces. The other fellow held
FIVE jacks"
"Five jacks r. calculated Farmer
Hanford. Pooh! Impossible !"
Col. Furlong gazed atthe owner of
the 5000 acre rice patch, as if he
couldn't believe he had heard Alright
and then concluding that he had, he
said, with an injured air:
Young man, did you ever play
poker up in the Texas Panhandle Z"
Farmer Hanford said he never had.
81 might have known that with
out asking you,p said Col. Jim.
well, then, let me tell you some
thing.
"If you ever do sit down with a
game up there, and whenit comes to
call a tall citizen with fringe on his
trousers, greasy wide trimmed hat. a
mustache that rests its ends on his
collarbone and with the smell of cattle
waiting from him, begins carelessly
to whittle the corner off of the table
with a knife a foot long and reckons
that he's got FIVE jacks, you just
bunch your cards, toss 'em on to the
deadwood and say. cheerful like:

never seemed able to succeed IN any
thing--save the bringing into life poor
little miserable creatures with their
mothers fine, sensitive nature and
his own unhappy one.
Ruth put her hand on his shoulder.
Goodbye, father, /" she said affections
ately. He did not seem to hear her,
but passed from the room.
The doctor came and he was very
grave. "She has worried too much,
he said.
All Ruth's smothered resentment
against her father and the children
leaped forth again. She hurried to
her mothers side.
Mother ! Mother!'' she cried,
throwing herself across the sick wo-
mans breast. "Do not die, oh, do.

you taken leave of your senses?"
Ruth rose YEARLY. st was mad,
mother-forgive me.'' She stopped
and kissed her, then left the room.
When twilight came it brought the
Death Angel. Mrs. Martin died in
Ruth's arms. The wee babies slept
on peacefully for several hours and
Ruth forgot them. Robbie and Elsie
sensed the sad truth and crept about
on tiptoe. Ruth was too stunned to
realize it at first and her father did
not say word. With his head be-
tween his hands, he sat the night
through-stiil and motionless. It
was Ruth who finally sent for the doc
tor and afterwards the undertaken.
As dawn broke over the horizon
she stole into the silent chamber.
She feasted her eyes on the beloved
features.
"You do not need me now, moth.
err" she sobbed. 81 am going away
away from the greasy butter, the
swarming flies; away from poverty,
dirt, and children. / am going out
into the world somewhere some
where"
She did not look at the sleeping ba
bies, nor at Elsie and Robbie crouch
ed down in pitiful little heap at the
door. She staggered blindly out,
her soul filled with bitterness towards
those to whom she was bound by
family ties.
Unnoticed, she reached the road.
Down the row, narrow houses, all alike
stood like sentinels on guard. The
faint streaks of light were growing
bolder and bolder and brighter.
Ruth stood for one moment, ,irresolute.
All the vague, stihed longingsin in her
heart struggled with her soul. II

murmured. ut is mine, to do with

What was that? Ruth listened.
1t was her father praying. She listen
ed again. Then she dropped on her
knees and lifted her eyes to the heav-
ems. "He loved her 7" she sobbed.
"She knew it; that is why she was
so brave. She understood him.
On the crisp morning air the walls
of two babies fell on Ruth's ears.
She jumped to her feet. (Which
way? Which way!" she cried
wildlya
She felt touch on her hand. 1t
was Elsie.
"Cum in, Ruthie," !" she lisped.
And Ruth went into the darkened
chamber where her father was still on
his knees.

PATHS OF THE PRESIDENTS.

Although the Baptist denomination
is one of the most numerous in the
United States, there has never been
a Baptist President.
There have been two Congrega-
tional Presidents-John Adams, the
second President, and John Quincy
Adams, his son.
President Roosevelt is the second
President of the Reformed Dutch
Church, Martin Van Buren having
been the first.
Millard Fillmore was a Unitarian,
the only Unitarian President.
Washington, William Henry Har-
rison, John Tyler and Zachary Taylor
were Episcopalians, as was Chester
A. Arthur.
There have been FIVE Presbyterian
Presidents-Andrew Jackson, James
K. Polk, James Buchanan, Benjamin
Harrison and Grover Cleveland.
President Garfield was a member
of the Church of Disciples.
Prior to the Civil War there had
been no Methodist President of the
United States. Since 1861 the fol-
lowing Presidents have been Metho-
dists: Abraham Lincoln, Johnson,
Gen. Grant, R. B. Hayes and William
Mckinley.
There has never been a Lutheran
nor a Roman Catholic President.
