TEXAS GREAT COTTON PORT.
EQUALS COMBINED RECEIPTS OF
SAVANNAH AND NEW ORLEANS.
Receipts at Galveston for Past Five
Months and Eleven Days
3,oo3,45s Bales.

Galveston, Tex. The receipts of cot
ton thus far this season were posted
in red figures at the Cotton Exchange
Monday For the first time in the his
tory of any exporting port in the
world, cotton receipts at Galveston
past the three million bale mark. In
Just five months and eleven days
3,003,45S bales of cotton were received
at this port and the staple continues
to 8 i've at an average of 10000 bales
per lay A few years ago such fig
urei even for an entire season was new
er dreamed of and less than three
years ago $500, 900 bales for full sea-
son was considered a record breaking
movement, N
Three million bales of cotton is such
vast quantity that the average mind
can hardly appreciate it's enormous
bulk or realize how perfect the system
must ..be to handle it. Counting 60
bales to the car it would take 50,057
cars to haul that amount to Galveston
and the cars placed in one string
would make train $50 miles long.
Yet, this amount of cotton has been
dumped into Galveston in the short
space of five months and eleven days
and today there is only 356,999 bales
of. it left on the island, including the
stock of cotton at the beginning of
the season. Of the total receipts of
cotton at Galveston thus far this sea
son 2,939,7G5 have been shipped to
foreign countries and 3G0,749 bales to
New York, the balance, including old
stock, being expressed in the figures
of 356,S99 bales. OF this amount all
but 266,S09 bales are either on ship
board or at the ships side ready for
clearing.
Thus far this season Galveston has
received 40 per cent of all the cotton
sent to the ports of the United States
having received within 3,742 bales as
much as the combined receipts of New
Orleans and Savannah and today this
difference will be wiped out, leaving
Galveston a margin over both ports

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although, actually hungry near
ly all the timel
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said the other day:
my husband and have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking cofee--feverish Indigestion,
totally unfit a good part. of the time,
for work or pleasure. We :actually
dreaded TO eat eur meals.

cines that counted up into hundreds Of
dollars, with little If any benefit,
Accidentally small package of
Postum came INTO my hands. made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way

The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex-
planned that the one she had with her
had been given to one of her children.
Another child, she stated, was sick,
and was crying for picture such as
his brother had.
That's bad way to bring up your
children" ventured woman customer
in the store, do you try to give a
child everything he cries for just be-
cause his brother is more fortunate?"
But" said the mother of the chill
dren, you don't know The children
are twins and what one has the other
wants"
Suppose" objected the moralist,
when your children get older they
fall in love with the same girl, what
will they do?"
But the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
Find twins and fall in love with
them"

Of 1876, gave Blaine a sobriquet which

But Hayes and not Blaine won the
nomination. Conkling's Appomatox

Garield's speech for Sherman help
ed Garfield to get the nomination him
self in the deadlock, although neither
he nor anybody else at the opening
of the convention had thought of him
as a possibility. When Bryan made
his "cross of gold" speech, which
stampeded the Chicago convention Of
1896, he was not, ostensibly, talking
for himself, nor did anybody in the
convention think of him In connection
with the candidacy at the time he got
up there to speak. He entered that
