my heart; but her fine form was
wholly lost, and, with it, all the

but melancholy reflections occupied
my mind as [ gazed on her dispens-

thought of the sad history of many
OF her companions and mine, who
used to carry light hearts through
the merry dance. 1 compared my
after life with the eloudless days Of
my attachment to Polly. Then 1 was
light hearted, gay, contepted, and
happy. I aspired to nothing but a
good name, good wife, and an easy
competence. The first and last were
mine already; and Polly had given
me too many little tokens of her fa-
your to leave a doubt now that the
second was at my command. But I
was foolishly told that my talents
were of too high an order to be en-
ployed in the drudgeries Of farm,
and I more foolish1y believed 1t. 1

tried and proved, and went in pursuit
of those imaginary joys which seem
ed to encircle the seat Of Fame From
that moment to The present, my life
had been little else than one unbrok-
en- scene Of disaster, disappointment,
vexation, and toll. And now. when
[ was too old to enjoy the pleasures
which I had discarded, I found that
my aim was absolutely hopeless; and
that my pursuits had only served to
unfit me for the humber walks of
life, and to exclude me from the
higher. The gloom of these refec-
tions was, however, lightened in
measure by the promises Of the com
ing hour, when 1 was to live over
again with Mrs. Gibson some Of the
happiest moments of my life.
After a hasty repast the young
people returned to their amusement,
followed by myself, with several of
the elders of the company. An hour
had scarcely elapsed before Mrs.
Gibson entered, accompanied by a
goodly number of matrons Of her
own age. This accession to the com

the old men to cracking jokes.
At length the time arrived for me
to surprise and delight Mrs. Gibson.

old folks taking a reel, and this was
just what | had been waiting for:

the Mesaba range are devoting their
energies to making demonstrations Of
their strength and forcing the men
still at work to lay down their tools.
Bands of from 100 to 1000 or 5000

the Petit mine near Sparta, forced

They then proceeded to the Kellogg
mine near Biwabik, owned by the New
York Steel company, and forced the
men there to abandon work.

In bringing about an amfcable and
peaceful adjustment of the entire

The determination OF the governor
to visit the iron country was FASTENED
by a letter received from Sheriff
Bates of st. Louis county. The letter
spoke of the strike, the closing of
practically all the mines and the pos.
sihility of violence by the idle miners.
To date, Sheriff Bates wrote, there
had been no violence, but in anticipa-
tion of trouble he had sworn in many
deputies. In the event Of any general
trouble he gave it as his opinion that
he would be unable to cope with the
situation and when it came the state
troops would be needed.

Cotton Letter of II. & 3. Beer

New Orleans, La, Sept IS, 1907.
American markets opened only a
shade higher than close of yesterday,
which contrary to expectations invi-
ted short selling which was reflected
in a much easier market. However,
there was good buying at the decline,
11.25 for October, and as the interior
reported the lid TO be on insofar as
spots were concerned, especially IN
Texas where farmers refused to meet
the decline, a better feeling prevail
ed, resulting in a steadier and some
what higher market, October ad-
vancing to I1.47 compared with 1877
yesterday. There is no reason why
the market should not do better as
cotton is worth more than it is selling
at When the market was in the
neighborhood of Is cents attention
was called to the fact that no such
prices had been experienced at this
period of the year since 1875, which
was trne. Therefore. all other fea-
lures surrounding the market We're
overlooked and offerings become more
plentiful and gradually more burden
some on the theory that prices could
not hold. Operators at New York
took advantage of the lack of speou-
lative support TO the New Orleans
market, Southern legislation, the
kind that is not found in the West or
in the North, having killed specula-
ton and there was nothing to be done
but apply a little pressure in order to
accomplish their purpose. Under the
circumstances one can well imagine
what would have taken place had
crop prospects been favorable and
to market heavy. Wall
Street and European operators will
probably be content with results of
the present by remaining quiet and
awaiting another opportunity when
they can apply the lash again, perhaps
with more success. Farmers are left
to their own resources and TO them is
left the fate of the market. Unless
they hold out for higher prices by re-
fusing to meet the decline, the move
ment for Is cents will have been in
vain. Very truly,
