Mans Three-Story House.

Every man lives in a three.story
house, the lower story is partly un-
derground. There he eats aud drinks.
This is his physical nature. Many
men never leave this basement.
There they live, there they die, never
entering the stories that lie above.
The second rises above the first. From
it's windows the outlook is wider,
the light in it is more abundant, and
the air purer. This is mans intel
lectual department. Some 60 up into
the second story often, and, though
they de not abandon the basement.
they use it mostly only for eating
Then there is the third story. This
is the highest. Here the air is, the
sunlight, the outlooks are at the best.
This is the spiritual realm. Few rise
into it. In many cases dust and cob
webs are the sole occupants Of what
should be the choicest part Of the
house. The wise, while he does not
abandon the basement or second story,
loves the third best of all. and there
spends much of his time.-Josiah
Strong.

The Lesson He Was Taught.

A southern Judge tells Of the dis
qualification Of juryman who came
before him. The case was capital
one and tue lanky backwoodsman de-
clared determined opposition to cap
ital punishment. Looking at him
sternly and in tones somewhat sug-
gestive of wrath, the Judge asked the
fellow if he did not think there were
conditions so extraordinary as to war.
rant the hanging of the offender. He
said he did not believe anything could
make him assent to such verdict.
"But will your honor let me ex-
plain ," said the disqualified citizen.
"Pd like to give the court my rea-
sons.
Il don't wish to hear any explana-
tion from you. Go and sit down"
Excuse me, judge, but you must
hear my reason"
"Well, then, give it, and go along
with you.
1.-THE reason l am opposed to capi-
tai punishment, your honor, is that
my old nanny taught me it were a
sin to kill anything that wasn't fttin
to eat"

A Father to His Daughter.

want to speak to you of your
mother. 1t may be that you have
noticed careworn look upon her face
lately. Of course, it has not been
brought there by any act Of yours,
still it is your duty TO chase it away.
want you to get up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast if she be-
gins to express surprise, go right up
to her and kiss her on the mouth.
You can't imagine how it will bright
en- her dear face.
Besides, you owe her kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little
girl, she kissed you when no one else
was tempted by your fever tainted
breath and swollen face. You were
not as attractive then as you are now.
And through these years Of childish
sunshine and shadow she was always
ready to care, by the magic of a moth
er's kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
hands whenever they were injured in
those first skirmishes with the rough
old world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad dreams
as she leaned above your restless pill
low, have all been on interest these
long, long years. Of course she is not
so pretty and kissable as you are, but
if you had done your share of work
during the last ten years the contrast
would not be so marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet if you were sick that
face would appear far more beautiful
than an angels as it lowered over
you, watching every opportunity to
minister to your comfort, and every
one of those wrinkles would appear to
be bright wavelets of sunshine chas.
Jug each other over the dear face.
She will leave you one of these days.
These burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, will break her down.
Those rough, hard hands, that have
done so many necessary things for you
will be crossed upon her lifeless breast
Thhse neglected lips, that gave you
your first baby kiss, will be forever
closed and those sad, tired eyes will
have opened in eternity, and then you
will appreciate your mother: but it
will be too late.

the pinnacle or wings of the temple,
aud then beaten to death with a ful.
ler's club.

TRADING IN STOCKS STILL IRREGULAR Little Remained of Gains at End
 of Day MERGER BEING COMPLETED Southern Iron Stocks Make sensa- tIonal Advances on Rumors That Consolidation Is About to
 Be consummated.
MERGER BEING COMPLETED

New York, January e.-Tbe movement of prices in today's market was confused and irregular from start to finish and little remained of the gains at the end
 of the day. The pursuit of the movement to take profits was continued and many of the most prominent stocks in the re- gent movement were subjected to this process. Meantime new stocks were push Rd forward into prominence. An addition al factor in theg irregular movement was the resumption of buying of some shares which were subjected to the profit-taking in the early part Of the day. There was little news to accompany the various movements and the explanations for them dealt more with technical market con ditions than with anything bearing on changes in actual values. While the De- cember movement of prices carried the majority of shares to record levels, there was a group of important securities which did no. rise at any time within measur- able distance of previous high records. These have been the favorites in the spec ulative advances of yesterday and today. Pennsylvania and It's allied railroads are notable examples. the present price level ruling far below the maximum touched in former speculative campaigns. The recent movement of Atchison Is given the same explanation although this stock was in

Liverpool was tame. the principal fea- ture being a steady demand for spots as evidenced by sales of 10000 bales. Flu lures at the close were practically un- changed as compared with our markets.
 New York opened unchanged and ad- vanced five points, after which there was a recession of about 10 points. but fluctuations were mild prior to the gln- ners' report.
 Every man is entitled to his guess and the privilege was exercised freely today regarding the census figures, and 1t is only fair to state that the guessing was pretty close. The actual figures were s. 721 900, which, according to the best in formation regarding the percentage of this crop unglnned, would indicate a to- tai growth of not exceeding ten mill lion bales and maximum crop this year of 10, ,500 GOO bales.
 While the present demand or spots Is not as strong as desired, 1t remains true that spindles of the world are working full time and the postponement of demand for necessary stocks will add to the in- sistence of inquiries and volume of de- part of spot holders will be well re- warded, as the statistical position of cot ton was never better and the world s stocks will be heavily drawn upon to meet manufacturers requirements.
 better inquiry for the staple was noted in New orleans today, cables and domestic telegrams on the subject being numpreusl

COTTON MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE Advances Sharply Following the
 Census Report LOSES THE GAINS LATER
Census Report Proved About as EM pected and BuIIish Interpretation Was Given to the Figures.
 Sales 6oo,ooo Bales.

New York January 9.-The cotton mar ket was more active and immediately fol- lowing the census report advanced very sharply, but lost most of the gains be- fore the close. which was at a net ad- vance of only to points. Sales Of the day were estimated at 600,OO0 bales.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advapce of 8 points on GOV ering of shorts and little bull support. Cables were considered about a stand-off, with slightly disappointing futures, offset by a continued good demand for spot cotton at an advance of about to 5 points. and after the opening prices here worked up to a net advance of about to points on the active months. This was followed by scattering liquidation preparatory to the census figures, and during the early afternoon the market acted rather unsettled, with March de- clining to 11.S9, or about points net lower. Inside of ten minutes after the report of the census bureau was issued March had been forced up to 1169 and May to 11.79, or about 30 points above the prices current a few moments pre- viously and 19 to 20 points above the closing figures of yesterday. There was active trading on the advance. with bulls aggressive, but there was still heavier realizing in the last half hour and the market broke, with March closing at 11.53. The closing tone was steady,
 The census report proved about as ex- pected and the violent advance immedi- ately following it's publication failed to effect the efforts of the bullish opera tors to run in the local short interests and insure a bullish interpretation of the figures, which, according to the esti- mates of the local authorities, point to a crop of between 10,175.000 and 10600O0O bales as the growth of the current sea son.
 Receipts at the ports today 21. OO3 bales, against 225SS last week and 37SOO last year. For the week (estimated), 13,OOO bales, against 149799 last week and 179S9S last year.
