"Thcre is an impending comprehen-
sive change in the system of handling,
warehousing and marketing cotton.
The new situation will be one where
cotton will be dealt in by guaranteed

He Cursed His Gallantry.

~ corpulent man with red face
went to Coney Island on Sunday from
the Bath Beach section of Brooklyn
says the New York Sun, and sat in
a cross scat of an open car in front of
two stout German. women. In search
ing for nickel to pay his fare, the
stout man dropped a quarter, which
rolled almost under the dress of one
or the women. He realized that lie
might make spectacle of himself and
also might offend the woman if he at
tempted to pick up the quarter, so he
decided to wait until she and her
friend got out, meanwhile taking an
occasional glance at the coin. The
women found themselves at their, sta
ton unexpectedly, and, in their hurry
to get out one knocked her handker-
chief, which was weighted with some
thing, on the back Of the mans seat.
a corner Of the handkerchief drop
ped, letting out shower of jingling
silver. The owner kneclcd and began
collecting the coin, while her friend
urged her to hurry. The man gave
sigh of relief after the woman got
up without having noticed his quar-
ter. Just then, however, the other
woman observed it, and said: "Kat-
rlna, you haf not al dot schange got.
Look, dere vas a kcwarter.' Katrina,
with an effort, stopped and picked
up the quarter, and she and her friend
rushed out Of the car. Tie stout man.

the peculiar circumstances, cursed his
gallantry and his embonpoint.

Prompted by the signal success of
having won out III three rounds in the
tussle Of setting prices and getting
them, the Farmers Union now pro-
poses to go the open road to market
their cotton. In other words, we can
open ZIP short cut roads and dodge all
the toll gates or barriers stationed
along the present cotton highway,
where he that tolls not has spun the
tremendous profits out Of the produc-
cr's hands.
"There is something worth know
ing going on these days in the Farm
ers' Union, and if they were not
strictly business; and therefore secret,
one would almost wish to throw them
to the 'unrcdecmed' outside just to
sec them gasp. When man thinks
they don't know what they are doing,
he is fooling himself and losing his
money on his own bet. Of course, you
will not know until you get inside how
much you are losing, and nobody can
tell you. They might be fixing to
'swipe' you off the earth. So you had
better get busy and find out. You
had better be in than out, and that is
sure. Then if your wife and children
knew they would tell you to get right
for their sake.'

propositions to solve to make it

SS One of these are to create a large
gscapital-as proposed by the Southern

&Of taking care of the weak cotton
(which means to bull The market.
&Whilc the other plan-as proposed by

Sa direct channel of trade between pro-
Sduccrs and spinncrs Of cotton. When
Spropcr confidence in the mutual bcnc-

that cotton itself can be made a better

It looks as If the Chinese are getting
tired Of their boycott of United States
goods. There is a much less bitter feel
ing displayed by Chinese merchants,
according to recent advices, than has
heretofore existed. The United States
consuls all through the southern part
of China, where the boycott was chiefly
noticeable, report a cessation of the
movement, or at least a diminution of

ese, having accomplished their purpose
of calling attention to legislation exist

ignorant of, feel that they can afford to
enter again upon commercial relations

FoR a HUNDRED MILLION YEARS

1t is mildly cheering at this some
what shaky time to be told, by one who
knows, that this good old world will be
habitable for hundred million years.
DR.. Thomas c. Chamberlin, head of the
department of geology in the UNIVERSE
ty Of Chicago. says it. This view he
expressed In lecture before the mem-
bers of the Geographic Society in the
Municipal Museum. Professor Cham
berlin said that climate phenomena and
temperature conditions of the last hun
dred million years warranted him in
offering the foregoing optimistic pro-
phecy His basis for the theory of the
perpetuity of human life was his
own 'planetesimal hypothesis that the
world is not gradually cooling from a
ball of fire, but that 1t has gradually
grown in size by absorbing other
smaller masses Of matter. The pseudo
romanticists picture the world as cool
ing into frigid mass which one day
in the near future is to become unin-
habitable, said the speaker, but if We
are to consider the past we must admit
that the temperature Of the earth has
remained always within the range
where human life Is possible There
fore, 1t is only reasonable to suppose
that the temperature in some parts of
the globe will remain within that
range.
Good. If the meek are going to in
herit the earth perhaps there will be
time enough for them to enjoy THEFT

They have something to talk about in
Berlin, where the liveliest interest has
been manifested over the trial of Colo
mel Gadke, who was charged with using
his military title and uniform in def
ance Of military court and an order
by the Emperor. The colonel, who was
accused of violating his military oath
in certain printed criticisms, won his
first suit, and the second trial was on
an appeal by the public prosecutor. 1t
was commended on his behalf that as a
retired officer he was no longer subject
to the jurisdiction of military courts of
honor. Against this view it was urged
that royal order of the year 1874 ex-
tended the jurisdiction of military
courts of honor. to retired officers, but
the court held that this order was of
no constitutional effect, as it was not
countersigned by minister of state.

1874. and the order Of 1Sl$ held good be-
cause at that date the King Of Prussia
was an absolute monarch But Colonel
Gadke was originally tried by the court
of honor under the provisions of the
unconstitutional order of 1874, and not
under those of the absolutist order of
1S4S. Moreover, the court declined to
acknowledge the validity of the special
cabinet order of the present Emperor,
dated February q, 1900 confirming the
verdict according to which Colonel
Gadke was deprived Of the right of
wearing Prussian uniform. The YER
dict was an absolute acquittal, but the
case will doubtless be taken by the
public prosecutor to the Supreme court
at Leipsic for final decision.

DoN,Ts For YOUNG MOTHERS


Don't be afraid to touch the new
baby. 1t won't break. Hold it's head
and back carefully and you win soon
be able to handle 1t with ease.
Don't think if it sneezes after feed
ing that it has taken cold. Sneezing
is a habit of very young babies.
Don't attempt to remove any for
eign substance from the nose with a
a hairpin and cloth. The corner Of a
clean linen rag dipped in warm water
and inserted in the nostril will be
sufficient.
Don't use fine comb. If patches
of dirt should appear on the scalp,
rub them at night and next morning
remove with warm water and pure
CASTLE soap.
Don't neglect to wash out the haby's
mouth after feeding, using cold
water and boric acid, forming a very
mild solution.
Don't forget that you can strengthen
the eyes by keeping them shielded
from gas light and sun light and by
bathing them three times a day in
warm water and borlc acid, cupful
of water and teaspoonful Of the pow
der.

PROMISING.

Some of those interested in the grand

have made much of the awful snub
given the beloved workingmen by those
who do not think Woolsey Hall is just
the place for unlimited and indiscrim-
mate Sunday talks. These champions
of the workingmen don't make much of
the snubs that the careful workingmen
have given those who begged them to
allow themselves to be uplifted by
them. But however. The plan of DR..
Smyth to see If there is anything the
Workingmen want which Yale can give
them seems to be sensible and promis-

trades could get some real benefit from
some of the mechanical and mental
equipment of Yale, especially of the
Scientific School. The idea that they

Don't LET draught strike the young
baby. There is far less danger of its
smothering than of it's taking fatal
cold. The new born infant cannot be
kept too warm.
Don't wake it up to look at it. If
you do, you will regret it later ON.
Don't rock it, walk with it, or hold
1t unnecessarily unless you wish to
make yourself slave to its caprices
as the months go on.
Don't permit its feet to get cols
Warm feet are symptoms of healthy
baby.
Don't let it keep on a wet bib and
be sure that when any part of the
body is moist it must be thoroughly
dried before powdering to prevent
chatting.
Don't use scented powder; un-
scented talcum in connection with
proper bathing, will keep the baby as
sweet as a rose.
Don't put it's head on a pillow, the
way you rest yourself. The little
body should be laid out straight or on
its right side to keep the back strong.
Don't use soap for the face. Pure
white CASTLE for other parts of the
