Worlds Cotton Consumption.

The consumption OF cotton IRON
1899 to 1898 averaged only 5000 ceV
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was !e,-
6s4146 bales annually. and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next hve year
period the average Will be nearly l3,-
900 900 bales annually, and the priCet
will be much higher than in the pre-
yious period. This indicates pros
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufactures, as well as for DO

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Dieested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this TO
ae true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of indigestion. My
a simple breakfast of fruit toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon cup OF
hot Postum and Grape.Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. Fo.
more than year have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying MY diet.
81 have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means saving Of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain OF
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value OF
Grape-Nuts.

WANTS HATCHET BRIGADE.
Mrs. Nation Talks Plainly to People Of
Denver,

Denver.--It was a warm day Monday
to reform the world. but Carry Nation,
who with her hatchet hewed her way
into the limelight, is person whom
the curious always flock to see. conse-
quently there was big audience at
the Peoples Tabernacle. Mrs. Nation S
eccentricities extend to such things as
the misspelling of her front name,
which she always signs Garry in
stead of Carrie"
Mrs. Nation was dressed in white
and looked cool and comfortable. Peo-
pie evidently were disappointed by the
peaceable, motherly appearance of the
reformer, but they gave her an en-
l.lrsiastic welcome.
What is it to be a Christian?" asked
Mrs Nation. '1t is to be warrior
She then went on TO cite passages from
The Bible to prove that the devil must
be overcome by force.
I'VE must destroy" she said. "That
is what the hatchet does. Everyone
should consider himself as hatchet.
Mrs Nation assured her women hear
ers there was no danger OF a hatchet
wielder acquiring the hatchet face. She
said the women are the ideal hatchet
wielders of the world. She explained
the evils that were going on in Den
yer, dwelling at some length on the
wickedness of the restricted quarter,
which, with faithful band Of women.
whom she designated human
hatchets," she proposed to purify by
radical means.
One man arose and begun to argue
for caution. But caution is a word not
in Carry Nations vocabulary.
Il can't hear you, friend called Mrs.
Nation from her platform to the man
in The back of the room. What we
want is Ito agitate.if necessary, to
'hatchetate.'
The audience laughed and the man
sat down.

Some people are SO trihing that
they will allow their innocent
children to grow up in ignorance
in the midst of good schools. Such
people are guilty of a wrong to

CHASED AWAY HIS INSOMNIA.
What Neal Of Peanuts and Milk Did fol
One Victim.

A friend who had heard that ]
sometimes suffer from insomnia
told me of a sure cure. Eat a
pint OF peanuts and drink two or
three glasses of milk before going
to bed, /" said he, and I'll warrant
you'll be asleep within half an
hour" I did as suggested, and
now for the benefit of others who
may be afflicted with insomnia, 1
feel it my duty to report what hap
pened so far as I am able this
morning to recall the details. First
let me say, my friend was right.
I did go to sleep very soon after
my retirement. Then a friend with
his head under his arm came along
and asked me if I wanted to buy
his feet. I was negotiating with
him, when the dragon on which 1
was riding slipped out of his skin
and left me floating in mid air.
While I was considering how l
should get down a bull with two
heads peered over the edge of the
wall and said he would haul me
I'D if 1 would climb up and rig a
windlass for him. So as I was
down the mountain side
the brakeman came in, and l ask
ed him when the train would reach
nv station. Eve passed your
station 400 years ago, he said,
calmly folding the train up and
it into his vest pocket.
At this juncture the clown
bounded into the ring and pulled
the center pole out of the ground,
lifting the tent and the people in
it up, up, while I stood on the
earth below watching myself go
out of sight among the clouds
above.
Then I awoke and found that I
had been asleep almost ten minutes.

"reminiscences of IndianOla.

Some 80 years ago the town OF
Indianola was destroyed on the

of a stock of Rubber paint. This
remnant was taken to Port Lavaca
and sold there with the rest of the
stock that could be found. Mr..
Hutchings and Mr.. Bates were
some of the survivors of that storm
and that store, and soon after NOV

in the entire Coast country. This
firm from those days on have car

thousands of gallons, now having

FRIDAY. DECEMBER !, 1906.
TH7 BIBLES ENGLISH.

Prof. William Lyon Phelps, who
occupies a chair in English at
Yale, suggests that the entrance
examination in English or colleges
should be simply from the Bible.
He says:
If all the undergraduates in
America should be placed in one
room and tested by a common
examination on the supposedly
familiar stories of the Old Tesla
ment-I mean on such instance as
Adam, Eve and the Garden of
Eden, Noah, Samson, David and
Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh-the
results would be a magnificent
contribution to American humor. y
After citing an amusing instance
of ignorance on the the part of
one fine young specimen of
American manhood" who thought
It was Adam, not Cain, who killed
his brother, Prof. Phelps says:
The Bible has within its pages
every single kind of literature that
any proposed list of English clas-
sizes contains. ="
Ignorance of the English Ian
guage on TIE part of the average
student is one of the serious pro-
blems in American colleges, and
the suggestion of Prof. Phelps
despite its sweeping character, has
much to commend it. Most of
che great orators of England and
America used the Bible as the
basis of their style. Brougham,
Macaulay, Webster and Garfield
knew the Bible better than most
ministers. Lincoln's literary style
was formed largely by study of the
King James version. When Macau-
lay, who began his literary career
by learning to read at ; years of
age, wished to acquire "a new
language-and he learned most of
the principal modern languages
he bought the Bible in that Ian
guage and his familiarity with ii
made his study easy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the
poet. said: Study ofthe Bible will
prevent any man from being vulgar
IN point of style" Kossuth, the
great Hungarian patriot, who cleo
frihed American audiences by his
eloquence, was asked how he had
acquired such a mastery of the
English language and replied that
1t was the result of studying the
Bible.
