pilot, grinning. "A widow, too"
Capt. Drake chuekled.
When the schooner tied up at the

AT A WESTERN WINDOW.

] gaze from the western window,
Atnwart the narrowing day,
Whore the sunshine and the shadows
In parting glo"y play,
To violet isles enchanted
That smile at the open door
As the argosies of evening
Sail through to fairer shore.
The day is long behind me,
The night is coming on:
Bat | hear a robin singing:
The song he sang at dawn:
Now one with the morn is evening
And one are the earth and sky,
The blossoms in the meadow
With t6e stars that breathe on high,
Ana youth is young forever,
And love is never cid.

On Sunday afternoon "A Chinaman is
reported TO have been killed in a house

the region of the spleen and at the same
level on the other side of the BODY. i
strongly built coolie using the weight of
his body could certainly give nasty
blow in that part of the body, even with

PENNIES FOR COLLEGE.
100000 Workers Each Give Penny to
RuSkln College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with edu-
cation, says the Fortnightly Review.
But it is a fact of no ordinary signiti-
canoe that some of the leading unions
should be taking very great interest in
the higher education of the workman.
For the last three years some 100000
worklngmen, members of the Amalca-
mated Society of Engineers, have made
three leyies of l penny each TO help on
the work of Ruskin college at Oxford
This levy produces over $500 q ar. and
by means of it six engineers are main
tanned for years course of study at
the college.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed To the same institution

TTAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t
is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the only
rational cure. The use of Peruna, how
ever stimulates the nervous system to
resist the effect of the poisonous emana-
tons and sometimes carries the victim
through the hay fever season without an
attack Of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who do
not find it convenient to change their loca-
ton to avoid Hay Fever, would do we'll

TONE Of MARKET
IS VERY UNSETTLED
Liverpool Cables Are Better
Than Were Expected
SPOT HOLDERS ARE FIRM
Cotton Sold Off In Early Trading, But
Later steadled as Result of Gov
erine, and the Close Was
Slightly Higher.
SPOT HOLDERS ARE FIRM

New York, December 12.-The cotton
market was less active today but con-
tinued very feYerish and unsettled. Prices
sold off to about the low point of yester-
day during the first few minutes but later
steadied as a result of covering. The close
was very steady with unchanged prices
to an, advance of points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
The opening was steady with an advance
of points to decline of IA points, the
improvements being on the near months.
owing TO better cables than expected and
the big spot sales in the English mar
ket. But there were heavy selling or
ders in the hands of wire and commission
houses for the latter months, which were
probably the result of Yesterdays late
market calls and shortly after the OPEN
ing, January sold off to s9.39, and March
to 9.ok.
Covering checked the decline and there
was a rally to a little over the closing
prices of yesterday. Trading was very
quiet at the advance and after prices
showed net gain of about 4 to 6 points,
the market sagged off again under some
local selling and bear pressure.
Subsequent fluctuations We're more or
less irregular with the close within 3 or
points of the best on the active months.
one of the features of the day was the
news from interior points representing
holders as unwilling to grant any con-
eessions in prices as a result of the de-
cline in futures, or of the government
estimate of the crop. Estimates for tomor-
rows receipts were little smaller, and
helped the market somewhat. Receipts at
the ports today, g., 246 bales, against ST.
726 bales last week and 1929 bales last
year.
For the week estimated, 100000 bales,
against 426,299 last week and 256,327 last
year Todays receipts at New Orleans,
PATS bales. against 9267 last year and at
Houston, 1880 against 1872 last year.
