STAKED HIS VIOLIN.
The Incident That Cured the Great
Paganini of Gambling.

When NicOlo Paganini was only fif-
teen years of age. it is said, he left his
fathers house and plunged into Il reck-
less life of dissipation and gambling.
At times his losses at the gaming table
even compelled him TO part with his
violin. This occurred at Leghorn.
where he was billed for Il concert. 4
resident French merchant and anna
teur NJ. Livron. hearing of his dilem-
ma, loaned him Joseph GuarneriuS.
When Pagarini went to return it after
the concert the enthusiastic Frenchman
exclaimed, Never shall my hands pro-
fame the instrument which yours have
touched" and presented the violin 10
the VirtuoSo This became PaCanini's
favoritc violin and is the one he left
to the city of Genoa. where it is eHhib-
tied in the municipal palace. The
threatened loss of this instrument
cured him of gambling According to
Paganiui himself. his means had been
reduced at the gaming table To few
francs and he felt that lie would be
his much priced GuarneriuS. made to
him by Il prince who greatly coveted it.
AS Il last desperate chance of saving
his precious violin he staked what lit
tie money he had left on one play and
won. But the risk he had run gave
him such Il fright that he quit the gam
ing table for good and all.

dim light was burning over a little
desk in the hotel office. Quiet pre-

of the fountain that was running in

noisy American men were with him.

THE GAELIC TONGUE.
PecuIiartes of the Language of the
Hiahland Scotch.

Highland Scotch.
There are i'll Gaelic no neuter nouns.
They are all either masculine or femi-
nine. sun, moon, star. tree. rock stone,
etc. are feminine nouns: sky. air. bird,
fish, house. barn. etc, are masculine.
\ hill is masculine; mountain. femi-
nine. The ocean is masculine; the sea
is feminine. Strange to say. the word
for "a female" is Il masculine noun
and the word for IA manServant' a
feminine. But these two curious ex-
ccptions stand practically alone.
In the construction of sentences
Gaelic is very different from English.
People who know enough about the
language to make dangerous use of it
will tell you. for instance, that in
Gaelic you have to talk backward. BY
this is meant that you do not begin by
using the same word that you would
begin with in English. In Gaelic the
verb comes before the noun and the
noun before the adjective. Thus, if
you We're going to say a wise man
shuns evil companions" you would ar
range your words in this order: "ShunS
a man wise companions evil" This
way of putting the verb at the very
beginning of sentence is really bet
ter than having it follow the noun
Being the word of the sentence. ii
stands in its proper place. To the
highlander English is the language
that is spoken backward

TWENTY CENTS!
That Is What Will Probably be Paid
for Cotton Next Fall.

The cotton men all tell the farm
ers to refrain from selling their cot
ton. All admit fifteen cent cotton
and some expect to STE the staple
bring as high as twenty cents.
There is no cotton in the country
and famine faces the American
mills. The English mills got the
best of the American mills this sea-
sou to pay them for having tIicked
them two or three times in the past,
and they did their American cousins
up to brown flush. The Europe
an spinners sent committee over
here and that committee went over
the country in company with the
officers of the Southern Cotton asso-
citation, making tour of inspection
of the cotton belt. The American
spinners took the reports of the
government and the estimate of Mr.
Hester Of New Orleans and others
and thev looked wise and let the
European have the cotton. Liver

pool quotations stuck steadily above
New York in spite Of the hammer
ing Of the American bears and the
cotton went in steady stream tc
Europe. Now the cotton Is gone
from the fields. gone from the ware
houses. gone from everywhere and
the spinners of this country az cry
ing for cotton and it is not to be
had.
The planters Of louisiana have
planted four times and they say they
have no crop Yet. Frost and food
have played havoc with them. The
Mississippi men have planted three
times and no crop Yet, and the coun-
tlv under flood. Cotton seed is run
ming short. In, Texas the farmers
are paying any price for planting
seed. Cotton seed is selling in open
market for 500 ton and 1t is nigh
ty scarce. The farmers all over the
country have run out of seed and the
crushers have not the seed to sell
them back. They bought all they
could, sweeping the farmers floors
and are still thirty per cent behind
last year. In Texas the boil weeril
coming earlier than ever is destroy
ing the young plants.
Cotton, if it is good staple, can be
sold today at the owners own price.
Even bad cotto' will bring good
prices; the spinnels want anything
and they confess 1t. They let the
cotton 60 In their efforts to beat the
the price down below that fixed by
the Association and they have lost.
The Association is stronger today
than it has ever been and its future
was never so bright. There is every
reason today why the farmer, evely
farmer, should stand by the Associa-
tion and win his independence in
this one year of grace. 1t will most
likely be done. The farmer controls
the situation and if he does not throw
away his oportunitv he just cannot
help winning.
A lot of cotton was sold BY the
very wise ones, who know better
than the united wisdom of the whole
Association for nine and a fraction,
future delivery this fall, and every
effort is going to be made to force
these sellers to deliver that cotton.
1t is going to Le most interesting
situation. This, considered in con-
nection with the recent fight on
bucket shops and gambling in cot
ton is going to make pretty state of
affairs when the buyers of the con-
tracts begin to squeeze. --Florence
