Without a student body to yell gro.

And without faculty, who should
make fathers and mothers believe that

The likelihood is that no football

"The only known portrait of Wash
Nington ever painted by n Chinese artist
In China" Is the designation that ap-
peals to the pedestrian who passes an
'old print" shop in New York. 1t is
obvious that the Father of His Coun-
try" and the artist never met, and il
both were now alive the exclusion act
would be the only safeguard Of the
latter. Stiffness might have been ex-
pected in the pose of Virgnian--the
premier president-but it has been cir
cumvented by the artist His subject
CARRIED in a robe of faded purple, has
his right foot resting carelessly across
ihe neither knee. and while his left
hand rests upon the more convenient
moccasin of celestial architecture his
good right hand is busy with a
chrysanthemum. The subject has an
Arapahoe complexion, with black ink
hair that is apparently disposed to
curl. The "First American" is en-
barrassed by studio environments. The
only thing that shared with him the
artists thought was the chair on which

u Lips Betray IA Woman's Nature.
A certain learned man gave NSi hple
rules for the choosing Of wife, and
babe young lovers beware Of girl
whose lips dropped at the corners, as
such would probably make home any
thing but happy place.
At the same time, he advised the in
tending husband to remember that up
ward curving lips indicated frivOlity
so that here, too, he would need to be
careful, while lips which are very thin
and quite straight usually belong to
woman who is shrew.
A selfish, morbid and dominating
woman frequently has a long, thin
mouth, with clear-cut, firm lips, while
the cruel woman as often as not boasts
lips which are unusually red.
A large and well-closed mouth in
dicates sagacity while a chin which is
firm and rounded generally associates
itself with determination and strength.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

The last years cotton crop, the big
gest on record, was 14,455 1894 bales.
The government report, published re-
Gently shows that of this sixty-one per
cent or S,81S, 1855 bales was exported.
Thirty per cent or 4, 3s8, 100 bales was
consumed in home manufacture, and
Nine per cent or l,30l,04O bales was
left over as surplus.
From these official figures it is easy
to arrive at the evident conclusion that
ninety-one per cent or 1854 1854 bales
of our cotton was actually consumed
during the year ending September LIST
last.
This clearly establishes the fact, ac-
cording to the opinion of the Albany
Herald, that there is demand, under
ordinary conditions, for over thirteen
million bales of American cotton annu-
ally, The actual consumption exceed
ed thirteen million bales last year with
the Russian-J Japanese war going on and
with China, a third large consumer of
cotton, almost bottled up.
Now what reputable authority in this
country estimates this years cotton
crop at over twelve million bales? Most
estimates are below thaG. But let us
take the higher estimate and add to it
the l, 30l GAO bales-from which 36,776
bales which were destroyed by fire
should be deducted-left over from last
year, we will have only about the same
quantity Of cotton that was actually
consumed last year when many of the
mills of this country and in Europe le-
duced their operations in their efforts,
to force lower prices for the staple.
These facts and figures which can not
be disputed, seem to make the physic al
condition of this years cotton crop
point to higher prices than now obtain
in the market.

BRAZEN THIEVES.

The way the Presidents of the big
New York Insurance Companies are
stealing the money of the policy holders
in exhorbitant salaries, luxurious liv-
ing, and large contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund to defeat the
Democrats, is shameless and disgrace
full, and these rascals ahould be put in
the penitentiary. II small insurance
agent had kept back ten dollars of any
of these insurance companies money,
paid by policy holder, he would
have had been arrested and placed in
the penitentiary in jiffy, but these
thieving Presidents have diverted the
money of the policy holders into their
own pockets and become fabulously
rich and with brazen effrontery tell of
their appropriation Of the companies
money as if it was very insignificant
thing and say what are you going to do
about it. Robbers ard burglars are
better men, for they betray no trust,
but these Presidents do.

President Query, of the Wesleyan
Female College, did right in replying
to Rev. Mr.. Dixon, who abused his
privilege as a lecturer to advocate the
license of whisky, before college of
Wesleyan students. The patrons of the
college feel that they have a safe and
watchful guardian of the morals of the
pupils under President Query, and no
false statements will be allowed to
poison their minds if he can help it.
All honor to President Query for his
manly stand for truth and right.

Harvey Jordan says for the farmers
to hold their cotton until they can get
ten cents for it. We believe Jordan is
right. The cotton supply is not equal
to the demand and is bound Ito bring
ten cents. The Cobb county farmers
are standing pat and refuse to sell at
less than ten cents.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1905-10-28

Just another dramatic chapter in the
life of our strenuous president swas the
collision of yesterday, in which the pres
ident's boat was struck by fruit steam
or in the Mississippi river and forced to
run ashore Without the element Of
the strenuous, Theodore Roosevelt would
not be himself. This most recent acci-
dent, from which, happily, the nations
leader came without injury, reminds
OF that more serious occurrence at Pitts
field, Mass, several years ago, when
President Roosevelt's carriage was
struck by an electric year that was
being driven recklessly by a needless
motorman. There was no great danger
in the river collision Of yesterday, but
it sets the nerves Of the public on edge
TO read about these varying occurrences
Of course, the accident will serve to
bring to the front those people who
viii say that the president had no right
through precedent to return to Wash
ington by water instead Of by rail, and
that he was running risk he should
not take. However, it seems that there
is no greater risk by water than BY
land. His railroad train might as easily
run off the track as his steamer sink.

A COMMENDABLE WORK.

II il gratifying to learn that steps
have been inauguTated to discover the
burial place Of one Of Vermont builders,
Ira Allen, and that in the event Of find
ing the remains or even the headstone,
one or both will be removed to this
state and given burial place Of honor
just where will be the proper place
for burial perhaps had best be left until
the results Of the investigation are
known, but suggestion has been made
that the campus Of the University of
Vermont would be fit resting place
for the remains. General Allen was the
founder Of this institution, and each
year the university sets apart day
which is designated as Founders Day.
The suggestion of that institutions
campus as burial ground is an excel
lent one, but that matter may as well
be laid aside for the present. The com
missions from Pennsylvania and Vermont
will be engrossed in the difficult task of
finding the remains. Records show that
Ira Allen was buried in the Free Quaker
cemetery in Philadelphia in the year
1914, filing q pauper's grave, whereas
five years previous to that he had esti-
mated his real estate in Vermont to be
worth from d million to a million and
a half dollars. On account Of the en-
croachments Of the city Of Philadelphia,
the society owning the Free Quaker
cemetery recently sold the land for
building purposes, necessitating the dig
ging up Of remains and gravestones.
This change gives Vermont the oppor-
tanity Of searching for the remains Of
one Of her greatest sons, who, inspite
of his services, has been allowed by that
commonwealth to fill an unknown and
pauper's grave. Now, after the lapse
Of nearly a century, and spurred by
necessity, the state is doing what it
should have done long since, II seems
