To Be Read Aloud.

Blows and nose one knows to
have fatal and nasal affinity. But
blows on the nose are not the same
as the blows of a nose that blows.
One blows ones nose, no one knows
whv or when, but one never plants
blows on ones nose. not blows that
one knows to be blows. So one
knows that there are blows and
blows: at least, one knows that of
blows of ones own nose.

Cotton Situation.

New York Sept 23-In their week
ly cotton review Miller & Co., say:
The usual decline at the beginning
of a new season has not occurred and
to what extent the farmer has the. ad-
vantage. It is notable that the farm
ers are not willing to sell under 10
cents pound while the spinners stop
buying as soon as the price raises
above the lOl2 cent limit AS a result
the market moved between very mar
row limits Opinions are divided as
TO the capacity or desire of the OctO-
ber bull siique to keep up as predict
ed 100000 bales of cotton on their
October .ongs. Time alone can de-
eide that point, but it will soon be-
come clear, as delivery day is only
a few days off The crop reports from
Georgia, Arkansas, Texas and other
sections are rather unfavOrable and
the situation seems to become worse
every week. The average decrease in
condition for September is about Z
per cent. Should the decrease be no
more than the average, the condition
on October 3, would be about 651, or
exactly the same as two years ago,
when the crop turned out only 10000
600 bales. Another cold wave would
probably greatly increase the crop as
the plants. being late in their develop
ment are more susceptible to injury
on that account than under more fav-
Orable conditions

itself yesterday to entertain the crowd
and the result was the best drill yet
given by the troop.
The troopers started out with a
rescue race. Five of the troopers were
on the firing line, some distance from
their oises, and being hard pressed
by the enemy, five mounted troopers
were sent TO their rescue. The race
was very exciting, and the men lost
no time in getting on behind the troop
ers who came to their rescue, and rid
ing away at full speed, while they still
continued to fight with their Colts
revolvers.
The tug of war was something new,
and quite interesting, and the way the
horses pulled demonstrated that these
animals knew as much about the game
as did the men.
Lieutenant Lewis finished the drill
for the afternoon with an exhibition
OF huTdling, which was participated in
by the whole troop. This stunt was
the best that the soldiers have gone
through yet, and elected great ap-
plause from the big crowd. The men
rode without saddles and the horses
would clear the hurdles in unison,
each horse jumping at the same time.
The sport was exciting and the drill
went off without a hitch demonstrate
ing beyond doubt that Troop II has
been doing some good training, and
can hold its own with some of the
crack troops of the eastern army posts.
Last night the troopers gave a short
saber drill on Railroad avenue, which
was greatly appreciated by the crowd.
