WaWeyytelnJ Bells

On October Is an opening grand
At Wallerstein's imposing stand,
All Paducah seemed to be there
Men, boys and maidens fair.
The souvenir bells we're something new,
Which gave us boys enough to do;
No knell we rang, but joyous sound,
Advertising the largest firm in town.
The council in session heard the noise
And sent Chief Collins to stop the boys;
But when he came upon the street
Ding ling, ding ling his ears did greet.
The ring was here, the ring was there,
1t seemed to come from everywhere.
Little children rung, young men and old,
Pretty girls and boys bold
The chief returned saying, "Oh such sight
You will have to adjourn this meeting tonight;
If could call five hundred cops
They would find it impossible this noise to stop"
Oh, ring we bells the news to tell:
Wallerstein has clothes to SELL
His clerks are nice and very polite
If you trade with them they will treat you right.
The firm is honest, true and DID,
The clothes the best that ever were Sold
Now ring the bells the news proclaim,
If you call once you will call again.

For the greater part Of sixteen years
Charles s. Sadler, a Pullman porter on
Lehigh Valley trains 1 and between
Philadelphia and Buffalo, has daily
witnessed a remarkable display OF In
telligence on the part OF two dogs at
Watkins Glen, New York.
Sadler, whose home is in Philadel-
phia, has friends residing half q mile
from the track at Watkins Glen, and
for sixteen years he has been in the
habit of throwing of bundle OF
newspapers as he passes. His friends
own two dogs, Nelly Bly, and Droyer,
and 1t did not take these intelligent
beasts long to improve the chance TO
make themselves useful.
Daily they take turns at going down
to the crossing where Sadler drops the
papers, showing an improvement over
the majority of human beings, In that
they are always on time, and, IL the
train is late waiting patiently without
intimating they could run the road
themselves better than the owners.
Thus one or the other, as the turn
may fall, Is always on hand when the
express arrives, and when the papers
fall to the ground the canine newscar-
rier quickly snaps them up and bears
them home in triumph, with much
tail-wagging and other demonstrations
of Joy peculiar to dogs.
For years these faithful dogs have
done their daily duty, regardless OF
weather and the disarrangement OF
railroad schedules, and they illustrate
q phase of dog intelligence and hold q
record that Is believed to be unique.

COTTON AND FRosT.-The most I'M
portant fall factor on the cotton plan
tation Is the frost An early killing
frost will cut the crop short many
thousands of bales A late frost means
a big cotton crop, for cotton Will
make" until killed by frost. When to
expect this frost Is a problem. We
find some interesting data In the New
Orleans Picayune. That paper says
that with the first of October measur-
ably in sight, the character of the
weather reports from day to day Is
now Of less importance than the state
Of maturity of the crop and the pros
poets Of early frost. The date OF the
killing frost, on which so much de-
pends. is a matter entirely out Of the
reach OF calculation. A killing frost
puts a stop to further growth Of the
cotton plant hence should such frost
occur before the plant has developed
all the fruit that might reasonably be
expected Of 1t, the crop Is cut short to
the extent Of the undeveloped fruit.
That the plants continue to make cot
ton until quite a late date In the fall,
past experience has amply demonstrat-
ed, hence an early frost always does
damage. and the damage is greater
should the crop be late. as 1t undoubt-
edly is this year in a good portion of
the belt.
AS the Picayune says. the cotton
belt covers a very large area, however
and the climate varies considerably
over this area. An average date Tor
killing frost in Tennessee is naturally
very much earlier than the average
date for Texas and Louisiana. While
then. killing frost around OCTOBER 2O
might do damage If the crop be late
in the more northerly portions OF the
cotton belt, such a frost is by no means
likely to extend very far south. The
average date for killing frost in most
Of the Gulf States comes In NoVem-
Der, and not in October. hence In these
states the crop must be very late In
deed to be seriously exposed to dam
age from frost. This same lateness OF
the date of killing frost in the Gull
States permits the cotton plant to con-
| tinue making until late in the fall, sc
that in some years good weather In
September and October has done much
to turn what threatened to be a crop
disaster into something nearer an av-
erage crop.-Charlotte Chronicle.

I.enten Meddinna.

Those who keep Lent as solemn season are naturally averse to holding any rejoicings during that period others, again. do not regard Lent as a bar to the gayeties consequent upon a wedding. Queen Victoria was of this way of thinking. and royal weddings were solemnized with her consent dur ing It's course. Not unfrequently con- venience or circumstances render it ex- pedient for a wedding to take place in spite of the season. but in this case conscience Is set at rest by the we'd ding being a strictly quiet one, devoid of any display whatever. Be this at it may. the general desire with brides elect Is to be married before or after, rather than during Lent. The old pro verb, Marry in Lent and live to re- pent," is not taken seriously In these enlightened days. and yet there is a la- tent feeling that there may be some thing in it which induces the rush. both before and after Lent. of brides to the altar.

 When the Governor opened the bids for the renewal bonds of the. state he found that there was demand for the bonds far in excess or the amount to he sold. The price was not es good as had been hoped but the Governor expressed himself as satisned with the sale as money is higher in the East at this time than t has been for number of years. After July there will be a saving to the Stnte or about one hundred thousand dollars year in interest charges by reason oI the renewal issue of bond. In accept ing the bids for the bonds GoyerpQr Je1ks very thoughtfuiiy considered me small bids made by citizens of the State and compelled the syndlcale which took the greater part of the granted where the prices offered. were as good as the bids of the syndicate.
