I5CENT COTTON.

In Little Rock last week the
Farmers Union in national con-
vention assembled decided that
the minimum price for cotton this
year would be fixed at Is cents.
That sounds big; and there are
those who believe the farmers can
not set a minimum price on cotton
and get it, or more. Of course
the mere fact of them saying that
minimum price is fixed at Is cents
does not make it so; and the min
MUM price of Is cents will be real
lied only when they fully carry
out the warehouse plans. They
have got to do something aside
from "resoluting" and taking.
They must in a generated action
and all work a common means in a
common cause. When the mar
ket price for cotton is less than Is
cents, then cotton will have to be
kept off the market. The ware
house plans makes possible for
farmers to keep their cotton off
the market until such time as the
spinners will pay what the farmers
demand. If the warehouses are
not used when conditions demand
their use, then all the expenditure
for warehouse will be for naught.
The object of the farmers un-
ion is to control prices; the OBJ
ject Of all trusts is to control
prices. The farmers are forced in
to combination in self-defense. In
their unorganized condition they
are at the mercy of every combi-
nation of capital. The reason q
trust can control the price of q
given product is because it is able
to keep off the market its product
until such time as consumers will
pay the price asked. 1t is because
they are in a position to hold theil
product until such time as the
market will pay their minimum
price. By using the warehouse
as planned the farmers can keer

which memory has adorned those
joyous days. While we all gradu-

in loftier hymns, have sung of

were formed under the moulding
power of moral atmosphere
which seemed to permeate the
school of our little city which
stays by one through life. Our

recall, with a softened heart, the
happy school days passed in this

A BATTLE FOR A HAT.
And How the Victor In the Struggle
a Lost tho Trophy.

And How the Victor In the Struggle
. Lost the Trophy.
a., Verdi had stepped from an incom-
ing train in Genoa once at time when
Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier,
was In the station. The marquis rec
ognized the musician and requested
the station master to introduce him.
He greeted Verdi warmly, congratulate
ed him on his fine health and wished
him many more years of life.
#at After taking leave Of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet and on
returning to his train forgot his hat.
This was an opportunity not to be lost
by two admirers Of the musician. They
had been watching him long, and now
they simultaneously sprang for the
hat. Both reached it at once, one
selling one side Of the brim and the
other the opposite. A lively combat
ensued, and the two swayed backward
and forward in their desire to retain
the treasure. The lady came off VIC
torious. "Ahw she exclaimed trium-
phantly. "Now I've got it, and intend
to keep it,
Her surprise was only equaled by
his dismay when gentleman who
had been watching the conflict for
some time stepped forward with the
remark, But this is my hiatt! A loud
laugh rang out from the onlookers, a
laugh in which even the combatants
were fain to join. The hat changed
hands, and the lady changed color
when a moment or two later she saw
the trap into which she had fallen.
It was the hat Of the great composer,
and the stranger had secured it by an
unjustif1able ruse.

TRAVELLING IN EUROPE.
What Il Means TO Ride Second Class on
#E Z ct the Railroads. I. r.

What Il Means to Ride Second Glass on
s5E x r the Railroads. n
# "A delusion OF the guidebooks IL the
advice to ride second class on the rail-
roads of Europe. 1t is often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions of the same
car, and this makes great impression
on the inexperienced traveller, particu-
larly If his purse is limited. Landing
at Plymouth, Southampton, Hayre,
Cherbourg, Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London or Paris on steam
er trains," under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources, and If you are wise you
will not only travel first class, but you
will see to it that your seat Is always
engaged we'll ahead. If you travel Sec
ond class betUeen cities that CORE
spond to New York and Philadelphia,
say where intercourse is frequent and
numerous. you will most likely have
to stand up In all second class CON-
partments. To get second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest, for ex-
ample, is about like boarding a train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge on
summer Sunday afternoon, and If
you do get seat somebody else sand
witches and sausages on your lap.
Another point to be remembered Is
that In Europe you cannot engage a
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here. You have to
show ticket for each berth. There
fore 1t behooves the person travelling
alone at night to seek out before ar
ranging the trip some suitable CON-
panion or for parties Of three or five or
any odd number to make similar pro-
visions.-Travel Magazine.

on his journeys to and from Tokyo

at the temple. He seemed to be man
Of remarkable intelligence, with whom
it was a great pleasure to converse up
on all sorts Of subjects. One night, as
the two were talking together, the cou-
rier said: Il ~, roD r. @4
RI thank you for the many favors
you have shown me since we became
friends, but tomorrow morning must
bid you farewell and never see you
again." %as%
'why must that be2" asked the
priest.
II will tell you the whole TRUTH" an
swered the courier. II am not man,
but a fox. For the purpose Of deceiv-
ing the daimio I assumed human form.
One of his retainers, however, became
suspicious and learned my secret He
has made a trap and baited it with a
roasted rat in order that he may cap
ture me on my return journey and put
me to death. Alas, it will be impossi-
BILE for me to escape! -
The priest exclaimed In astonish-
ment: ''Can it be true that you are
fox? This is a strange story. Since
you know all about the trap, why DO
you not leave the bait untouched?"
because it is impossible for fox,
when once it smells roast rat, to keep
from tasting IT, %.
"Why, how is It," asked the priest,
that you, whose wisdom Is more than
that possessed by most men, can throw
away your life for the sake Of eating a
roast rat? Among men, even fool
would know too much for that"
The fox answered, with a bitter
laugh: "Ah, it is only roast rat that
can lead fox astray. But men, though
well aware of the danger, are caught
by their love Of pleasure, Of strong
drink or of gold. To obtain these they
not only throw away their own lives,
but they bring ruin upon their families
and their country.

forms Of roasted rat."-Youth's Com

That is only occupied once by each

state in the house Of lords or the re-

the sumptuous gilt thing which the king
uses at Windsor when he receives the
foreign ENJOYS? It is an interesting
question, which some people would like
to have answered. Most everybody,
however, has come to the conclusion
that in the majority Of countries the
throne is merely a symbol, and the ex-
pressions "he has succeeded to the
throne" and speeches from the throne"
are only metaphors.

in prime condition and the place looks
neat and clean and ready for any
emergency. Plats of the several wards
have been prepared and placed in the
