tress in an Awkward
Situation.

The late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor
OF the lawn mower, was great admifer
of witty and alert persons.
At dinner in New York Mr.. Coldwell
said OF a famous millionaire:
This man, through hard luck, once
had to work as a butler. He made an ex-
cellent butler. Let me give you an in
stance OF the sort of work he did.
His mistress was giving dinner party
of L covers on a certain evening. One
OF the courses consisted of scalloped oy-
sters il silver shells. The set of silver
shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters. and
thus there would be just enough to go
around
The butler, when the oyster course
came, placed before the lady one of the
shells. TO his horror, she did not de-
cline it, Calmly she let it rest before
her. Ii she started to eat it, one guest
would be short of oysters. What was
the matter with her, anyhow?
The butler watched her nervously. She
tcck up her fork. She was actually about
to plunge it into the dainty she'll. Then
the man, ever alert and ready, few to her
side and bent over her respectfully
!" Pardon me, madam he murmured,

the doctor forbade your eating oysterds

More than a hundred bales cotton
were sent to the Americus warehouses
yesterday, to be stored and held under
the present holding plan until prices
go considerably higher. OF this num-

strongly held, the owners do not need

prices has already had the desired eff
