ted that if the clergy could unmarry as
well as marry, they would be far more

been hasty and Hl-considered. The great
causes Of domestic unhappiness were
selfshness and temper. Men were more
selfish than women. Man put his great
sturdy arms akimbo and declared that
he was the one person to be considered

 MT. Bowser had hardly entered the house the other evening as he returne,. from the office when he inquired as to the whereabouts of the family cat. Be ing informed that Grimalkin was cir culating around the neighborhood somewhere, he dropped the matter, and, though Mrs. Bowser directly questioned him, he made evasive re- plies. It was not until dinner was over and they had returned to the sitting room that the cat walked in and took his accustomed place on the rug. Mir. Bowser at once gave the feline his full attention and kept it up so long that Mrs. Bowser petulantly demanded:

HONOR TO WHOM
 TT WAS DUE.
An Old Southern Darkey Hangs Out Flag of Crepe When He Learned
 of General Whites Death.

An incident, in which was dis played the beautiful sentiment so characteristic of the old Southern darkey, was recorded on the Phil lips plantation Friday afternoon, when Charles Warren, 73 years old, placed a black flag in front of his cabin door and left it there to wave in the wintry winds.
 Judge J. M. Phillips, Doctor Wright and Manager Webb, of the Phillips plantation, happened to pass the cabin that afternoon and seeing the flag, naturally made in- quiry as to the cause of it being placed there.
 What is that flag there for, War ren?" asked Judge Phillips of the old darkey, who was standing in his doorway, wiping away tears.
 'I jist lernt of Masser Ginil King Whites deaf" replied the negro, and l thought I ought to do him sum honor, for he was my fren vars ago."
 Charles Warren was in regi ment commanded by General H. King White, the late mayor of Pine Bluff, during the Brooks and Baxter war, and, like many others who fought under the greatest of Pine Ruff statesmen, his love for him was everlasting. .,s.4..s ..e.,

Cotter & Co.'S. Daily Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 6-The fu- ture markets continue in strictly waiting attitude. Large movement into-sight week after week is offset ting impressions from bullish con- sumption figures and, the result is in- activity in speculation either way. More and more it begins to look as if this deadlock would continue until early developments concerning the next crop give one faction or the other an advantage to trade on. The fact that this big crop did not cause the depression of values as expected makes people generally inclined to- wards the belief that the next decided movement in cotton will be upward and where so many think this way, there is usually some result.
 Mill takings for the week are much larger than expected, 373,OOO, against 321,000 bales last year and 214,000 bales in 1905. At this rate of takings the visible supply will soon show rapid decrease. Liverpool paid no at- tention to the bullish figures. Futures there are 1 to points lower spot prices unchanged, sales 1000. The treason for this indifference there and the falling off in spot sales is prob- ably that Lancashire has in the past week bought and withdrawn from the Liverpool spot market unusually large quantities of cotton and that now the mills are fairly we'll supplied with raw material and can afford to pause for awhile.
 Our market opened about unchang- e1 and gained few points as the ses- sion progressed on covering over the week end buying on bad weather and bullish consumption statistics and an interpretation of lighter receipts next week. New York is especially steady A good deal of cotton was sold yes- terday afternon after hours at ad- vanced prices.
