Not a. Bad Guess.

JUDGE MARY II. COOPER Of Beloit,
J Kan, is the only woman probate Judge
in the United States. She performs more
marriages than any Kansas minister This
is because she always omits the word
obey from the ceremony-an omission
that pleases the Kansas girls.
Judge Cooper believes in the capable
and strong woman-she thinks that the
day of the clinging, helpless woman is
past. She said, in a recent interview:
In the strong and independent woman's
hands, In the fighting womans hands. our
sex's future rests. There is more than a
little truth in an episode that a Chinese
missionary once related to me.
This missionary was taking tea with
a mandarin's eight wives-she was Of
course, a female missionary. The Chinese
ladies examined her clothing, her hair,
her teeth and so on. but her feet especial

run as well as a man!

just the same''
The I'VE" was often on her lips when

begin to think of sending Eva to school,
she said to herself one night, and knew
how impatient Rudolph would have been

Eva shall not be under her influence,
she resolved. Rudolph would think her

took up the thread of her old life. She
haC always lived little aloof. Her
fathers death had left her quite alone in
the old house. and one by one she had re-
jected the possibilities of welcoming will
ing maiden aunts and cousins to share 1t
with her. She had missed the best: at
least, she would not be tortured by having
those about her by whom a spade is al
ways called a spade, even if it Is prim-

time later, and Jane went to neighboring
town to the funeral.

terng cousin; II guess you're the only one
In the family that's got good black clothes.
The rest of us mourners will be In brown
and navy blue, and me in my dark red

Tucked away in the mourners' carriage
with Jane was little scrap of girl with
great eyes and little pointed face. She
was the child of the dead woman. Jane
had hardly been aware of her existence,
and she was curiously startled when, IN
the gloom of the carriage, the little girl
suddenly slipped her hand in hers Jane
thrilled from head to foot and her eyes
filled with tears.

said; 'I'H show you.
When they reached the house the child
brought the shells ana poured them in

Il like to look at them, because they
make me think nice things that I can't
remember" said the little girl.
Jane suddenly looked in the little elf
face. and then at Matte, the ministering
cousin, who was putting the chairs in
place with all the bustling Importance OF
settling the Vatican.
That's just the way Matte would bring

over the child's. why should Matte

The poor little girl would be burden to

with Eva's little belongings in her own
trunk, and Eva herself, like little
shadow, in her wake.
With the mornings life began for Jane.

dolph. OF course, he had gone on with
his work, and he had, no doubt felt in her
letters that she was resting in her own
love, content with old levels. When this
belief entered her heart she rose early
and went for days to the little Middleton
library, turning over Volumes reading re-
views, making ready for her last pitiful
play. This was to write him letter-to
write it four times. poor little Jane!-into
which crept only one or two tender, fright
ened little love words, while the pages
were filled with judgment of this book,
mention of that poem, and, tremblingly, a
few little fancies of her own.
1t was in answer to this that Rudolph
of Paris sent her the letter of which he
had spoken to his mother:
Little Jane, dear little Jane, you do SO
understand. Love is never crowned love
that is not chiefly love of beauty. All
friendships and firtations must be gross
and even commonplace If they are not

fashion, by balls and teas. ! shall always

hour Of its necessity when the young min
lister suddenly died and left his motherless
little daughter alone. Though there had
been those who were fain to mother the
little girl when the manse lacked mis-
tress, no one seemed willing now to as
sumo the responsibility. So they turned

untary refusal at first; why not?'
So Eva found a sister-a chubby, un-
imaginative little thing, but SO wistful OF
tenderness that in lavishing it upon her
Jane forgot her disappointment In the
child's inability to share the radiant world
Of fancy that she and Eva had built up.
1t was in vain that Jane tried to teach the
little newcomer about the world of roses
that talked and flowers that understood;
small Margery turned from fairies to cats
and spent her own affection upon animals

COTTON MARKET
 VERY UNSETTLED Longs Sell Freely and Foreign
 Reports Are Gloomy DECLINE 5 TO IA POINTS Southern Spot Basis Is Said to Be Easier and Good Rains In Some Sections Give Better Outlook
 for the Next Crop.
DECLINE 5 TO IA POINTS

New York, February 10.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled today, with the close barely steady at a net de- cline of to IA points. Sales were est- mated at 115,OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of to points in response to the cables and after a few moments of hesitation developed weakness under selling by brokers believed to be working for lead ing bull interests, scattering liquidation, southern and Liverpool selling, and local bear pressure. There was a good demand on a scale down, but sentiment among smaller longs was very unsettled on ac- count of the reduction in the leading long lines and there was nothing in the news that could be considered reassurng for Manchester accounts were gloomy. The southern spot basis was said to be easier and good rains were reported in eastern and central sections of the belt, where the absence of normal winter precipita- ton has been noted, although not to the same extent as in the southwest, where planting begins earlier.
 There was a big demand for October around 9.29c sufficient to check the de- cline, but the market developed no rally ing power and closed at the lowest point of the day. Southern spot markets off cially reported early were generally 1n- changed. New Orleans had a rumor that short time was likely in Lancashire, but this was denied although the cables re- ported that yarn stocks were accumulat- ing and some sales of cloth had been made at lower prices
 The market will be closed on Friday and part of today's trading was prob ably in the way of evening up for over the week end.
 Receipts at the ports today, 29,9O4 bales, against 45,141 last week and 24425 last year. For the week 225,O00 bales, against 251,63S last week and ,752 last year.

NEW HIGH RECORD IN WHEAT MARKET Leading Bulls Are Active And
 Purchase Heavily CROP DAMAGE REPORTED Cold Weather In the Corn Belt Has a Depressing Effect, But Buying Helps Prices-oats Close Firm and
 Provisions Steady.
CROP DAMAGE REPORTED

Chicago, February 10.-Rallying from tame and easy opening the wheat mar ket developed today into an active and strong affair. the May delivery advanc- ing to $1. IFS, a new high record mark for the season. The market closed strong at almost the top. with net gains of ssQ 11c to 1Kc. Corn and provisions closed steady and oats firm.
 Although a new high level in wheat prices was reached, the volume of busi- ness was not extremely large and trade was not of a general character, but was mainly confined to what are termed professional traders. The establish ing of the new high mark was chiefly the result of liberal purchases by the lead- ing bulls, who, 1t was claimed bought ap- proximately 100000 bushels during the last hour of the day. The demand was based to some extent on report of the southwest, which claimed that much of the fall sown crop in Kansas and Ne braska, which was said to be without snow protection, had been damaged by the cold wave. During the day the May delivery ranged between $1 10A and $1 .113s and closed at $1.11A. July closed at s1O01s@$1. .O05s.
 7 Cold weather Tn the corn belt nad a depressing effect on the corn market but this influence was offset by active buying of the July delivery by several leading bulls. Owing to a falling off in local receipts the price of the cash grain ad- vanced today Ac to 15c. At the close prices were a shade lower to B@Ac high CT. with May at 641sc and July at 64@ 64hc.
 Liberal purchases by leading bulls cbo odx in hp Of oats. The market closed firm at net gains of b@ssc, with May at 5SA@6Sssc, and July at 47Ac.
 Provisions were quiet and steady. At the close prices were unchanged to 21ac lower.

Schooner aelleved to Be sunk

Pensacola, February 10.-That the schooner Cleopatra, 80 tons burden, engaged in the naval stores trade be- tween St. Andrews and Pensacola, was sunk during one of the recent storms on the gulf, carrying down with her Captain Marton and a crew of four men, is confidently believed here. The vessel sailed from St. Andrews on Jan uary 23, and should have reached Pen- sacola within two or three days. She carried full cargo of turpentine and resin. It is believed that the Cleo patra was lost in the terrific storm that ragged in the gulf on January o5.
