Would Call Extra Session.

Governor X O. PindaIl recently
stated that should majority of mem
bers of the Legislature favor calling
an extra session to deposit the funds
of the state in banks with view to
relieving the present financial strin-
gency he would be willing to issue
such a call. He declares that he
would be personally in favor of de-
posting the states funds in the banks,
amply secured, at any time, and that
the only reason for calling a special
session now is the present financial
stringency. Governor Pindall stated
he did not know just what amount of
currency is in the treasury OF the
state but that he understands it to
be about 81 100000

THE MIRACLE OF A SHEEP.

The following Is an abstract from
IN article written by the editor of
the Stock and Station Journal, Sydney,
Australia:
A man was teaching a class about
cattle and he said: Now, can any
boy tell me what a COW is?" l don't
know, was the reply he expected, but
a small boy gave him the correct an
swer. He said:
please, sir, COW is an animal
with four legs, one on each corner"
That was good answer and the
boy had my sympathy. If any one
were to ask me, what is a sheep? do
you know what | would say? My an
swer would be: "A sheep is mi
racle." So it is. There isn't a more
marvellous animal in the world than
sheep, and at all our pastoral and agr1-
cultural gatherings we ought to toast
the sheep. But we don't simply be-
cause nobody ever thinks of the source
of all our wealth We count our wool
returns in millions Of pounds sterling
and the mutton sales are enormous,
and the whole country profits by the
sheep, but who ever thinks of it?
Hardly anybody except from the point
of view of pounds, shillings and pence.
Did ever tell you about the great
Florentine Giotto, who made his mark
on the sands of time? | don't think
| ever did for | know a heap Of things
that | haven't told you yet, although
I've been telling you stories for
good many years.
One day, when Giotto was standing
in the streets of Florence. telling
stories and laughing, a pig ran be-
tween his legs and upset him. He
got up, very angry. but when he saw
the pig rushing down the street he
laughed and cried: "Ah, you villain,
you, And yet. look at the lot OF
money | have made with your bristles.
and | never gave you even glass OF
wine
Good old Giotto Look at the money
some men have made out of WOOL but
have never thought about the miracle
or sheep That's our trouble We
hardly ever think about anything. IL
we did. We would find the kingdom OF
God on earth AS it is, We mostly
find the other kingdom

Don't get excited; don't be misled.
The present furry will cut no ice with
the prosperity of this country. The
prices Of things are not inflated; they
are simply about right There are
few exceptions. and cotton is one OF
the exceptions. Cotton has had the
whole gambling world combined in
fight For low prices The bear manip-
ulatOrs have not heSitated to use any
and all possible means to ruin the
prices They have finally played their
last card, and in the scramble have
lost out and have bankrupted many
of their friends. This is the begin
ming Of the bear stampede They have
sold cotton for future delivery at all
sorts of low prices and the day for
the delivery comes on apace. What
are they going to do about it? The
available cotton for delivery will be
bound to become exhausted soon. Then
that in the warehouses will be requisi-
toned, and if the holders stand for
the best price there IS nothing under
the sun to prevent their getting that
price, so long as it is not prohibitory
one Fifteen cents is not prohibitory,
and it is right there the price should
stick, and there it will stick till the
time comes to make 1t higher still.
