READING HIS DEATH WARRANT.


Amadis di Gaul," book that turned
the heads of half the Spanish youth,
a type that Cervantes has immortal
lied in Don Quixote.
The fascination of chess, however,
rivaled those of the tournament with
the knights of Spain, and many an
hour was beguiled over the game by
Prince Yousuf and the faithful al
cayde. They were seated thus, one
day, both intent upon the game, YOU
suf for the time completely forgetting
the sword that was always hanging
over his head.
He was losing slowly but surely his
adversary's knight and castle were
steadily bearing down upon his king,
when page hastily entered the room
and informed the alcayde that mes
senger was without, desiring to see him
upon an urgent matter of state.
Tell him to wait until our game Of
chess is finished" said the prince.
But the page made an lmploring ges-
ture 20 the alcayde, which brought the
latter instantly to his feet, and he
fastened out to meet the messenger,
who silently and gravely handed him
a sealed note from the king. Hastily
tearing it open, the alcayde glanced
over the contents, his cheek blanching
as he did so. With lettering steps he
reentered the room, and the prince,
shocked at his pallor, explained:
MY friend, what is thy trouble?
Thou !ookest as though thou hast just
received thy death warrant, Oh" he
added, jokingly, ''perchance the king,
my most loving brother, demands my
head! Speak! Is 1t so?"
For answer the alcayde handed him
the letter, but his hand trembled so
that the paper fluttered to the floor.
Yousuf, STOPPING, coolly picked it up,
and read at a glance the following
words
MY servant, when thou receivest
this letter thou shalt Immediately take
the life of my brother Yousuf and
send me his head by my trusty mes
sengar."
The eyes of the brave prince never
| Nuu'ISd, hCl hAu no NOlNI ldllCl 40 uO
| said quietly TO the page:
Bid the kings messenger wait until
our game is ended; it VIII be but q
few moments now, for | am losing
rapidly; fate is against me on every
side"
They reseated themselves at the
board, but the alcayde played wildly.
1t was an easy matter for the prince
to regain his lost advantage, and he
was Just giving checkmate when in the
distance was heard the clatter of
horses hoofs. Nearer and nearer they
came, and soon two caballeros from
Granada, armed cap-a-pie, covered
with dust, and in the maddest haste,
came Gashing into the courtyard at full
speed.
The king is dead! Long live the
king! Long live our good king You
suf!"
The lesson for children to learn from
this story is Of course obvious. Never
| give up hope in the face of misfortune.

After an examination of these wit

committed without bail. The testi.

against the other two men and they
were given their liberty The main
witness in the case was Clinton Isaacs

Cotton Receipts.

Up 10 the present date the report
from the different cotton yards of the
city places the total receipts of cot
ton at 2l,i12 bales, not counting the
linters, which add $50 bales to that
amount making a grand total of 21.47O
for the season. The yards give their
report as follows: The Farmers Union
yard 1900 bales. the National yard
1l25 bales, the Compress yard, be-
fore that yard was turned over to the
Farmers union, 1872 bales, from lint
ers 800 bales. and the round bale gin
li26 round bales which makes 7i3
square bales The total while not
as large as some expected, is consid-
orel n good one. Cotton at present
is coming In very slowly owing to the
weather and muddy conditions of the
roads There has been only a small
amount marketed the past ten days.
Much speculation is being indulged
In by cotton men as to the number
of bales Ardmore will receive this
season and in many instances bets
have been placed on the receipts In
number OF cases the bets are odds
against Ardmore receiving over TWEEN.
ty-five thousand bales and these bets
are being taken by some few. While
there Is yet a deal of cotton in the
fields the rainy weather followed by
the snow will bent many pound OF
the stalks and lose IL to the farmers
II is the opinion of cotton men that
twenty-five hundred bales at least
will be received yet. which will make
a total OF about $4,000 for the season.

Laredo, Tex, Jan. 1O--Last summer
during the great demand for cotton
pickers an agent Of the Mississippi
Cotton Planters association came to
Laredo and induced a large number of
miners at the Minerva mines to go
to that state with their families to
pick cotton. A few days ago George
Derby. general manager of these
mines, received a letter from these
miners saying they were in a pitiable
condition and anxious to return to
their old work. Mr. Derby at once
went to Doddvllle. Miss. and by good
management loaded up a car load of
these Mexican miners without coming
in contact with the planters, who op-
posed their returning. and arrived at
the mines yesterday with the most
rejolced set of human beings who ev-
or returned home.
