care since the results have been SO fa- yorabIe as to give him a reputation as A leading cotton breeder in every cot ton State in the Union.
 The man tells me that while he has sold a great many bushels Of seed, on account of superior qualities bred into the plant, his practice of seed selection has paid him handsomely in the ln- creased yield from his own farm. He tells me that his cotton will yleld nln 30 per cent more lint at the gin than It would have done from a similar stand twenty years ago. And these qualities of big boil and heavy yield are still be- ing emphasized by careful seed seiec- tion. He has bred up q cotton that IS particulariy well adapted to his soil. The plant is now perfectly at home on his farm and he has simply made it ms servant He is not content to nave half the stalks in his field producinS cotton and the other half producing leaves. but he has so moulded the life of the plant to the soil conditions that they both work in perfect harmony, greatly to the financial advantage Of the hand that guides.
 The characteristics of big boil and heavy yield, that have so long been emphas sized in this plant, are retalneu for some time even when the seed IS planted on soils entirely or Iargely different from that on which It has had It's home for the last twenty years
 Now what this man has done with his soils and cotton you can do. You will not have to work any harder put you will work to much greater adYan- tare and your returns will be multi plied many fold. The mans name? This is MT. J. R. Strickland. He lives near Pleasant Grove in Pickens Coun- ty, Ala. Go and see him, as did. He win have some interesting things to tell you and show you.

Our Daily Short Story


 MO. no. she's not hurt. It was just the shock. She will be all right in a minute--but you, you wonderful wonderful boy, to save us both"
 Oh. yes. the fire. the trampling feet the brief glimpse into the Great Be- yond--she remembered it all now. And some one had saved them. There was a real knight in New York after all.
 She wanted to open her eyes and see him, but the lids were so heavy. so heavy. But she knew he was straight and tall and dark and pale and slender All knights must be. And then the other voice said brokenly:
 You know I never had a chance to tell her loved her. She was so back ward and shy and always seemed to be looking right past me. She ain't like other girls know--and you're sure sheTl come around all right"
 Something in the voice made Me- linda's eyelids turn light again. They popped open--and she looked straight into the enxious eyes of the elevator boy!
 "Oh. then 1t wasn't a knight after a1l," she murmured as the assistant matron began to chafe her hands once more.
 Melinda was sitting on the edge of the bed In the assistant matron's room
 T suppose they don't have to be tall and slender and pale and interesting. if their hearts is all right. He don't have to run an elevator. you know. His mother has quite a little money, but he's going to be an engineer or superintendent of big buildings or something of that sort and he says he wants to know everything from run ming elevators to running men, and l then he can support me and mamma, too. But when his mother came in to see me to-day she patted my head and kissed me on both cheeks and said there was no reason why Billy and should have to wait that long because she | thought there was love enough in my heart to keep two mothers going, and l she had no daughter. She's just love | ly. his mother iE--and you'd know she was just the sort whose son would be a knight.''
 | And the assistant matron remember. ed a stern, white face she had seer for just an instant on that dreadful night, felt once more the grip of hi. firm, strong hand and murmured, "Yes of such stock do real knights spring." --~----------------- -

MUST KEEP OFF.
James ChappelIe Exercised Because
Proposed Railway Cuts Farm in Two.

James Chappelle, proprietor of the
Copeland hotel and owner of a fine sub
urban farm in the vicinity of Seabrook
Is having his hands full keeping the
Topeka railway survey
orS off his farm A few days ago Mr.
W. E. King, resident engineer on the
line between Topeka and Dover, took a
force of men and began to run out the
lot lines of the various tracts in the
vicinity of Seabrook. This was done
so the company could get a correct
description of the right of way they
would need through that vicinity Ev-
eryth1ng went well until Colonel Chap
pelle's farm was reached. There the
engineers were ordered off the premises
NOW Mr. Chappelle has some beautiful
white enameled black lettered signs put
up on the right of way through his
property, saying mo Trespassing"
Mr.. Taylor, president of the company.
this morning said: Mr.. Chappelle has
been objecting to locating our railroad
through his farm and am very sorry
that he cannot see that this railroad
Will be great benefit to his property.
Il have instructed the engineers not
TO annoy Mr.. Chappelle any more than
they can help. / have advised him thai
if our engineers do his property any
damage we had the cash to pay him for
1T, but IL seems that he cannot be re-
conciled to the fact that the Topeka
Southwestern is going to be built and
1T Is going to be built right over the
line where it is now located. The bust
ness men of Topeka have purchased the
railroad company's bonds and we are
buying the right of way from the pro-
ceeds of these bonds and we do not
propose to pay any one any more than
the right of way is worth. We have
made a good. fair, liberal offer to Mr..
Chappelle and If he will not accept that
We propose to condemn the land and
acquire it in that way. I do not under
stand why the proprietor of one of the
leading hotels of the city and a man
who has suburban property two or
three miles from town would object to
selling US two and thirty-one hun
dredths acres when it will almost dou-
BILE the value of the balance of his hold
ings. The line was located through that
community because we thought that
was the best place for it. When the
business will justify it more than like
ly the Street Car company will build
out Seventeenth street and by our line
being located over between Nineteenth
and Twenty-first streets it will give the
residents in both communities suburban
service
Mr.. ChappeIle is indignant because
the route was changed so that it passes
through his beautiful little
farm The first survey was south of
his place. Mr.. Taylor should not blame
Mr. Chappelle for doing everything in
his power to keep the railroad from go
for while it may enhance it's value for
the sale of building lots it is a serious
detriment to the place for farm pur-
poses

Pennsylvania Railroad Denies Rumor
That 1t Will Lay on 10000.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29.-Rumors that
the Pennsylvania railroad would Law
off between 10000 and 200 men were
today denied by high officials of the
company. The following statement
was given out at the company's offices
There is no truth in the statement
that 10000 men were to be discharged
by the Pennsylvania Railway company.
Nothing OF the kind has ever been dis
cussed- In view of the fact that the
traffic for October is II per cent great
er than for the same month last wear
which would make the movement for the
month the largest in the history of the
company any material reduction in the
forces would not be practical Ie"

Mayor of Seattle Won't Let Them
Speak in the Streets.

Seattle, Wash, Oct 29.-Eight So
cialist speakers and like number of
sympathizers were arrested here last
night The arrests came as a result
of the defiance program of the So
cialists of Seattle, who have ranged
for their speakers to appear on the
streets every night and attempt to
hold public meetings. Mayor Moore
has declared that he will not allow the
street meetings. The socialists in
turn have secured about forty speak
ers and will continue the meetings as
long as the volunteer martyrs last
Last night they were not permitted
to speak more than a sentence before
being bundled into the patrol wagon
