GIRL WAS DELIRIouS

"An eruption broke out on my

doctor, and he pronounced it to be
eczema of very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back,
and then the whole of her head was
affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost un-
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-

results, and Henry Bradford realized
that he was the only living being
aboard that ill-fated schooner.
His mind was now intensely alert
and he was on familiar ground. AS
fast as halyards could be handled, he
clewed up both gaff topsails, and
hauled down and furled the flying jib,
jib and foretopmast staysail. Then,
after stoppering both gaff topsails, he
returned to the deck and in few min
utes had the schooner upon the proper
course for Boston light.
Daylight had come and the wind
had freshened slightly. A hurried ex-
animation of the papers in the cap
tain's stateroom disclosed the vessels
manifest, which gave the information
that the schooner Clara Bates, $50
of Boston, commanded by Capt. Ezra
Perry of Salem, and crew of five
men, was carrying $50 tons of coal
consigned to the owners of the vessel
in Boston. A small sum of money in
the captains desk and the usual in
struments of navigation were the
things of most value which caught
Bradford's eye during his hurried ex-
animation. The demands of the inner
man were satisfied with substantial
breakfast, consisting of ham, fried po-
tatoes and hot coffee.
The wind held true, and Bradford's
mind had already worked out plan
of operations. He led his jib down
haul and jib halyards-secured by a
slip noose-aft, and, once in smooth
water, he made ready his sheet anchor,
secured by a cat-stopper only, and
overhauled few fathoms of chain.
At four o'clock that afternoon, he
brought the Clara Bates into the wind
ON South Boston flats, hauled down his
jib and, as the vessel lost way, slipped
his christopher and anchored!
The rest is mere detail. 1t was in
the fall Of the great coal strike, and
coal was coal. Henry sent word to
Bates & Joyce by the harbor masters
tug, and an hour later the corpulent
and genial Mr.. Joyce was on board
and had heard Henry's wonderful
story. At IL o'clock the next day
Henry Bradford signed a release and
accepted lump sum of $4,000 in lieu
of all services rendered and salvage
expected. There is one more happy
detail. The 20 feet of bulwark that
was torn away from the side of the
Clara Bates acted as a life raft for the
members of her company, who were
swept overheard at the same time.
They were picked up few hours later
by an ocean-going tug with tow OF
coal barges and bound for Salem.
At the earnest request Of Henry
Bradford. his name was suppressed
from the newspaper accounts of the
salving of the Clara Bates, and his
appearance among his townspeople a
few days later was received as the
homecoming of man who had gone
out, done battle with the great world
and returned successful.

expenses but there will be a small
salary for the workers. The food is
scientifically cooked, and a good

HAS CORNER ON COTTON UNCLE SAM BIG DEALER
THIRTY-NINE THOUSAND BALES

Because of Advance in the Market
the "ShOrts" Have Been Border
ing on Panic. Prices Had Been
Depressed on Account of Reports
of Enormous Crops.
NEW YORK.-The entire SUNNY
Of cotton stored in New York city
and vicinity available for delivery on
contract is said to have been cor
nered by j. l.. Livermore, the young
broker who last May made more
than 100000 in a corner on the
July option. The New York visible
supply consists Of only $4,000 bales
OF cotton, worth about $1,800,OO0.
during the last two weeks cotton
mas advanced in this market over
$500 bale, and the shorts have
been bordering upon panic. An enor-
nous quantity of October contracts
have been sold short in New York
because of the general belief of the
trade in reports from the cotton
states that an enormous croD will
be gathered. AS a cOnseouence
prices in New York have been de-
pressed far below the commercial
value of cotton in the south.
In consequence stocks at this CEN
ter have been bought and shipped
away, so that it's available supply is
now the lowest in several years. Mr.
LlVermore and several other cotton
men began buying August contracts
several weeks ago, until they are
SAID to have acquired every bale not
under contract to the spinners and
other consumers.
The situation has been made all
the more remarkable by the fact that
the Farmers Union has secured
pledges from nearly every planter in
the south that he will not sell cot
ton prior to December below ten
cents a pound for middling. That
this pledge is being kept is shown
by the fact that in southern Texas.
where the crop is just beginning to
make it's appearance, cotton has adj
yanced within the past week 40 to
so points.
A prominent member of the cot
ton exchange said yesterday that the
short interest in October amounts to
nearly 100000 bales The actual
value of this cotton would be nearly
$50, 100000.

THOUSANDS OF INSECTS

INSECT CATCHERS EMPLOYED

And Are Gathering a Great Collec-

Ones. VIII Be Used to Teach
the Boys and Girls Which Are
Good and Which Are Bad.
The people of Iowa have discov-
cred that insects have a market
value, and are waging such relent-
less war upon them that bugs of
every description threaten to become
as scarce there as icicles in-well. in
July for instance. The state college
extension department has announced
1t must have 10000 insects between
now and the time of the first freeze.
For the last two months it has
employed several regular insect
catchers, and still the list is far from
complete. Of late additions have
been made to the force, and the work
is being pushed.
No variety is exempt from pursuit.
The lid is off, and it is open season
for insects "a hours in the day.

blOOdthirsty mosquitoes and the I'M
mentiOnable bugs that occupy the

same inglOriOus way.
But these many bugs are not being
sacrificed wantOnly. They are Civ
ing their lives for the interests of
science. They are an Offering at the
altar of education. The department
is collecting all the insects, common
and uncommon, injurious and other
wise, that inhabit the state, and
mounting them in sets. The collec-
tons will be used at the various
short courses to be held throughout
the state this winter, and also in
the rural schools where agriculture
or nature study occupies a prominent
position. By this means the boys
and girls of the state will be taught
which insects are good and which
ones are bad, so that they may de-
