Ethel Grace was a most beautiful doll.
She was of bisque and had natural hair.
Her eyes would close tightly in sleep
when her little mama, Stella Anne Perk-
ins, would lay her on the pillow. And
when Stella Anne raised Ethel Grace
again her eyes would open very wide, and
she would look SO sweetly into her little
mama's face.
And indeed, Stella Anne was a most
loving mama. Ethel Grace had all that
could make fine doll happy. She was
taken out daily In a pretty wicker car
rlage for a ride in the park. And some
times she was allowed to go on errands
with Stella Anne. And she always went
with Stella Anne-her dear little mama
to parties and picnics, Of course. Why,
Stella Anne once declared when Ethel
Grace was threatened with the whoop-
ing cough that she-Stella Anne-would
not leave the house while her darling
was Ill. And she was invited to attend a
most delightful lawn party at the time,
too. But luckily for Stella Anne-and
Ethel Grace, too-the latter recovered
from her slight indisposition In time for
her mama and herself to attend the party.

cold and had a threatening cough at
tended by a little whoop. But nothing
serious ever came Of It,.
But one day in the autumn something
dreadful did befall Ethel Grace. Her
mama had gone to the grocery store on
an errand for her own mama-Ethel
Grace's grandmama, you know. When
going into the store Stella Anne had left
Ethel Grace in her little carriage out at
the door. There were few people passing,
and as Stella Anne's errand required but
a few moments in the store she did not
think it necessary to wheel the carriage
and baby In with her.
She had almost completed her purchase
when the noise Of some sort of unusual
commotion caught her ear. Instantly
thought of Ethel Grace came to her and
she flew on wings of love and maternal
anxiety to the pavement where she had
left her darling dolly. And what a sight
met her eyesl There before her was a
puppy dog with Ethel Grace's shoulders
between his jaws. He seemed bent on
tearing the helpless Ethel Grace to bits,
and in spite of Stella Annes wild screams

ing room.
But can you imagine the feelings OF
Stella Anne when on the morning Of the
third day after leaving her prescious
Ethel Grace at the hospital messenger
boy called with a huge box for her In
which she found her Ethel Grace just as
perfect as everi Really, the little girls
Joy knew no bounds She laid Ethel Grace
down and shut went her blue eyes. Just
as quickly as of oldl She raised her up
again and open went her blue eyes. just
as quickly as of old! And how beautifully
they had cleaned her soiled face at the
hospital! And her arms were flexible and
her body supple. Indeed. to look at
Ethel Grace one would never guess that
she had once been in the very jaws OF
death-that Is to say. IN the jaws of a
puppy dog that felt no respect for the
rights Of dolls.
The following day Stella Anne Issued
Invitations to about twenty Of her little
girl friends to attend Coming home
party" given in honor OF Ethel Grace.
The invitations read:-

James Cook. famous in history as Cap
tain Cook, English Navy officer and navi-
gator, was born in the little village of
Marion, Yorkshire, England, October
9th, 1928. His father was poor farm
laborer with a goodly sized family on his
hands. Thus it will be seen that educa-
tional advantages for James and his
numerous brothers and sisters were few
indeed. y
When James was very young he was
put to work on the farm of a wealthy
yeoman named William Walker. Mary
Walker. William Walkers wife, took an
interest in the little farm hand and
taught him his letters. 1t was after
this that Mary Walker opened the school
in the village for which she is noted in
Coleridge's Memoir.
At the age Of eight or nine James Cook
was taken away from the kind care of
Mary Walker to go with his parents to
the village of Great Ayton where ais

father had procured the position of hind
to Mr.. Skottowe, lord of the Ayton
manor. But his biographers inform US
that Mr.. Skottowe took an interest In
the child (who must have shown more
than usual talent and placed him as
pupil in the village day-school, himself
defraying the small expense thus in
CURED.
At the town of Great Ayton there Is
still standing the little four-room stone
cottage occupied by the Cook family,
and 1t was doubtless built by the elder
Cook, for he became stone mason
while living at Ayton. Over the Intel,
cut in stone, are the initials ]. G. C.
and the year, 1855. From that date we
conclude that the Cooks did not have
this dwelling till many years after their
son james had flown from the home
nest, and had become noted in the kings
service.
When James was 13 years old he was
apprenticed to a. shopkeepeE OF Staithes,
or The Staithes as 1t wAs generally
called. 1t was seafaring town eand
filled with sailors and fisher-folk.
1t was here that the "call Of the sea"
came to the ears Of the apprentice boy
and one morning before the earliest riser
of the village was astir he took his few
belongings, tied up in a handkerchief,
and stole softly from the shop OF his
master. Having. been ''articled" to the
shopkeeper for a given number Of years
James could procure his liberty in no
other way, and was forced to run away.
He made his way, doubtless on foot, to
Whitby, some nine miles distant from
Great Ayton. Here he took up the life
of sailor and soon found adventure
enough. Through great energy and apt
ness he worked his way up to the posi-
tion Of mate, and later became lieu
tenant in the Royal Navy. Then be-
came captain and won lasting honors.

one of the best known traffic men
in the entire south has ter dered
his resignation to Presid snt H.
M. Atkinson, of the A. B. and A.
railroad, effective April IS.
Mr.. McFadden is busy arrang'
ing his PLANS for the future
which will probably be given out
in few days. 1t lis thought that
the resignation of Mr., McFadden
may result in the reorganization
of the traffic department of the
A. B. and A.
There are few traffic men
south of the Ohio aud Potomac
rivers who are better known
than Mr.. McFadden, and his res
ignation has only been accepted
with the sincerest regret by the
officials of the Atlanta Birming-
ham and Atlantic railroad, who
offered many inducements to Mr..
McFadden for his reconsidera-
ton of the resignation. He has
a host OF friends throughout the
The state and the south, who will
also learn with regret Of his leav-
ing the com panY.
Although a native of Ohio, Mr..
McFadden has spent the greater
part of his railroad life in the
south. He has b en- p4rticnlarly
identified with the advance ment
of the interest of the Atlanta Bir-
mingham and Atlantic railroad,
and the organic atiJu of the traffic
department of that road has
largely perfected under his ad-

Tom Hudson Encounters A
BOOphiIus AnnuIatus;; Clash

From Atlanta CONSTITUTE ton.

The terrible Boophilus Annu.
latus has thrown Colonel Tom
Hudson into a fever-which is
an achieve ment for even this de.
vouring scourge of the north
Georgia mountain country!
1t comes of his climbing in on
another mans game. He denies
that he voluntarily sought the
encounter vi b the Boophilus
Annulatus. but says he vas pick
ed up and thro Wn into the den.
Heretofore the Boophilus An.
nulatus has been the drea foe
of Captain Bob Wright, who has
grappled with it doughtily. He
has talked il, dreamed it, thought
it and studied it until the B. A.
is as the open book 10 him. He
has tanned it until it will eat out
of his hand.
It is intimated that Colonel
Hudson seeing the prowess of
his distinguished assistant in
subduing this ravening some"
thing, grew envious, and deter
mined to invade this hitherto
pre-empted Fl cid. He did so,
and thereby hangs a tale of
( woe.
Colonel Hudson hearing that
the Bcophilus Annulatus was
playing hob ia a certain north
Georgia county took the first
train for the scene of carnage.
Captain Wright warned him of
the danger he was facing, but it
did not phase him. He wishes
now it had.
FACES GRAVE CRISES.
Arriving at his des tination,
Colonel Hudson found a mob of
angry citizeury to meet him.
They wanted to know what the
departmet of agriculture meant
by letting the Boophilus loose to
devour whom it might. Here
was a pretty pickle. Colonel
Hudson did not have the neces-
sary language in his system to
appease tn e popnlace-which

Colonel Hudson began:

It is difficult to ascertain the exact number of men laid off n the district during the last month, but It will not exceed 250 or 275., All except a very few of these were &exicans or Slayon- ians. It is not probable that more men will be laid off unless the price of copper drops again, and then some of the smaller shippers VII be com -pelled to cut down their forces. There is so much development wcTk going on in the district, however, that the decrease in the number df miners em- ployed will not be great
 It is understood that there will be a considerable exodus of Siayonians after the coming pay day. Several months ago large number came here from Lead. s. D., where they were thrown out of employment by the firse in the Homestai.e mine. Word has been received that cuudi- tions are again favorable for the e. sumption of work on a large scale there and that miners are wanted, so that many who worked there pre- yiously will return.

DAILY MARKET SUMMARY.

Bisbee. Oct. 1, 1907.
 New York market closed strong with St. Paul the feature with a gain of five points from the low. Shorts cov- cred freely and the general list shows good Improvement. Coppers were favorably affected by the Anaconda dividend declaration. A further re- duction in the price of metal had a depressing effect early and declines were seen in the active issues, all of which was regained on the an- Iouncement of Anaconda's dividend. Greene Cananea closed slightly high CT. Superior & Psttsburg was dull and unchanged. Calumet & Arizona was firm on moderate sales. North Butte and Copper Range were the most active and will advance easily on any urgent demand Reports of large sales of metal at Is cents are numerous and outlook is more hope ful. We continue to believe the good coppers should be bought on any slight recession. Dullness continues in the Bis6ee curbs. Bids are few and offerings fairly large Any perma- nent strength in the listed coppers will awaken interest in the local curbs and some fair sized advances occur They look like big bargains to us and good money ought to be made on purchases at these prices. Shattuck at $500 should return good profits before long.

WE'RE CLOSE ID
 LOW MARK NOW
Local Market Fails To Show Any Improvement At All
 So Far.
CBy Frank J. Graf.)

The local market fails to show any improvement whatsoever. but am in clined to believe that many are get ting close to the low mark Copper metal was again reduced one quarter, but this naturally ought to make cop per stocks somewhat weaker. Super for 6 Pittsburg has beth around Sg S7 the entire day. but this figure fails to bring out any stock. Greene Cana nea at $S.62 is scarce Warren and American fail to show any improve ment. The call of 50 cents per share on the Anderson Apache is payable through the Bank of Bisbee on or before the 10th of October.
 Boston wires: The Anaconda div idend of s1.25 was taken favorably and the whole market rallied at the close. St. Paul was was as scarce to- day as Canadian Pacific was yester- day and climbed five points from the low. Range and North Butte was quietly picked up this morning by one of the big local traders and both stocks are so scarce that they will rally ten points on any good news.
 The market seems to be creeping up each day and the bears are locked in- Few attempts were made to break. stocks today and there was no liquidation. Stocks went higher on covering.
 New York wires: The bear element evidently received an object lesson from yesterdays squeeze sn Canadian Pacific and as result the market today was feverish, but in the last hour advances were scored all along the list on short covering. St. Paul was under pressure in the early ses- sion but toward the close rallied five points from the low level on aggres- sive buying by the short interests. The declaration of the division at rate of 1-4 per cent quarterly on Anacou- da and reports of sales of copped met al at 15 cents caused bette feel ing in the metal stocks. It is hardly time to predict a sustained upward movement but it would seem that the standard issues should rally some what further especially If the shorts are squeezed in oyersold issues.
