Hotel Lafayette, and thither Mi.
Bolton repaired, wondering d little
what was up. MIR. Bolton asked
the judge sternly, as the lawyer en-
tered the latters room, why did you
play that trick on me in court today
WHAT trick, judge asked Mr.. Boil
ton, a look of surprise coming over
his face. why, didn't you know
that those two women, your and Mr..
Halls clients, had only one baby be-
tween them, except that the blind eye
was turned to me in the first case.
and the good eye in the other?''
Then, seeing the look of surprise on
Mr.. Bottoms face deepen to blank
smazement, Judge Ward burst into
hearty laughter after his momentary
indignation.
1t was Mr.. Bolton who realized the
value of a baby in the case, but it was
Sne Coats who was equal to the In
genuity of providing a baby to mee'
&c need of the hour.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, June 17.-Spot cotton
quiet: sales / 200 bales. Quotations un-
changed.
Futures opened points down but
strengthened up after the first call.
Trading was dull, the dulness being in
tensified by the fact that Liverpool
was closed Prices were firm but
f1uctuated within narrow limits. Heavy
buying was in evidence at times but it
was offset by weekend liquidation by
longs. The session was featureless
and nothing happened to startle either
the bulls or the bears, the market de-
irving its strength from the strong spot
situation. The market closed steady
with net gains of to IL points.

Withdrawing S25,0OO,OOO in Gold
From Circulation.

In Edwin Lefevres book, The
Golden Flood published by Nc
Clure. Phillips Coz the hero is the
possessor of $50, 100000 in gold, which
ne has extracted from circulation and
melted into bars. the process occupy
ing about two years. There has been
a good deal of discussion among Wall
Street experts pro and con, the ques-
ton whether $25,000,000 in gold could
be taken out of circulation in a year
without disturbing the money market.
The facts, however, seem to be in sup
port of Mr.. Lefervre's idea that such
thing is possible. In the year 1903
the worlds possessions in gold
amounted to something over twelve
billions of dollars, and in that year
about $50 millions were added. Con-
sequently, Mr. Lefevre's hero's $25,-
100000 was only a small fraction of
the new gold brought into the mark
ct and very small portion of a per
cent Of the worlds gold possession.

tause there is no mother-in-law like

more than 800 Indian maidens became
