He said tha. in Londonderry one
afternoon he was seated in a barber
shop when a farmer entered to get his

odd. ragged look and the barber. after

"MEAN THING" MADE APOLOGY.
And Still 1t Is Doubtful if Telephone
Girl Is Satisfied

Girl is Satisfied.
She has bright eyes, rosy cheeks,
and an awful estimate of the proper
confines of propriety. 1t is an invari-
able rule of hers to observe that sub
tie barrier of modesty which all well
ordered young women should observe,
and, better still, she prides herself on
making the sterner sex Observe this
barrier in all it's invisible but nice dis
tinctions
Then how this incident must have
shocked her.
Being a telephone girl, it is her OBJ
noxious duty to hold converse with
the mean things" of the world-o h
erwise known as men. The other aft
ernoon subscriber called for a Ger
tain number in Germantown.
What number did you say?" she
cooed.
Germantown 33333-z, quick"
Il can't understand; please repeat
it."

We'll, If you don't say what mum.
ber you want L can't give it to you.
I'm not going to fool here all day."
Now, keep your shirt on, little girl;
keep your shirt on"
But the subscriber got no further;
she slammed up her cam, rushod to
the overseer with flaming cheeks, and
reported the subscriber. The company
rightly said that subscribers had no
right to comment on how it's employees
should treat their wearing apparel,
ard demanded that the subscriber
apologize, or lose his phone. The sub
scriber was willing. He called up the
girl with the bright eyes and said:
Are you the young lady whom l
just told to keep her shirt on?"
Yes was the curt rejoinder

The Situation.
presence OF

The situation in regard to the an
nual meetings Of these two compan-
les is becoming very interesting. and
there are being made strong efforts
to secure proxies for these occasions.
Mr.. Thomas ". Lawson, the Boston
Speculation, claims that he has enough
proxies to control the elections in
both companies but this claim is not
believed TO be sound. However, as
stated in the circular of the New York
Life Policyholders' association, the
agents of that company all over the
country have had instructions to Sc
cure proxies in the name Of three New
York business men. This has never
been done before in the history Of
the company, the annual meetings
heretofore having attracted little or
no attention and the policyholders
taking very little interest in the mat
ter. The recent revelations before
the New York investigating commit
tee, however, have aroused the policy
holders to a realization Of the fact
that the conduct of the companies is
in their hands and the present man
agement has gone to work to make
sure Of the company by getting prox-
les through the agents.
The association Of policyholders
seek to give the holders Of policies
the opportunity to be represented at
the annual meetings by men whom
the policyholders know; from their
own State, who have no personal in
terest in the matter other than the
good Of the companies and the benefit
of the policy-holders. While. the
method which they have had to adopt
to secure the proxies is all indirect
one, it is believed that there will be
many responses, as the insuring pub
lie is now fully alive to the neces-
sity of the proper representation OF
the policies at these annual meet
ings.

To Spot Holders.

About the middle Of last November
the Souther Cotton association ad-
vised all spot holders to demapd fif-
teen cents per pound, basis middling,
for the balance Of the unsold portion
Of the present crop and pledges were
asked for ninety days. The Nam
moth Cotton convention held at New
Orleans, La, January lib, 1906,
passed a resolution unanimously
endorsing the movement for fifteen
cents and advocated the continued
holding of the unsold portion Of the
crcp for that price independent of
the 90-day pledging. The executive
committee Of the association subse-
quentlv endorsed the action Of the
convention and all spot holders were
earnestly asked to stand firm until
a maximum price Of Is cents was Of
fered Remember one year ago cot
ton sold at seven cents pei. pound in
February and advanced to over ten
cents early in July in the face Of a
100000, bale crop. This year the
crop is 3,5O0,000 bales less. Consump-
ton is far greater this year than
last, ana the prices Of all lines Of
cotton goods abnormally high. IF
the small balance Of the cotton now
held is sold for fifteen cents, the
whole crop will not average over
II 1-2 cents per pound. Receipts
will soon drop of heavily and a
stronger market will be had.
Do not rush your cotton on the
market, but hold it and win out in the
great struggle that is on between
the spot holders on the one side and
spectators, spinners and buyers on
the other. Yours truly,
Harvie Jordan,
President, =. G.. 4.
