smoked 1t well down toward the mid

ROMANCE OF HISTORY.
These Things Read Like Legends. but
Are Matters of Fact.

A peasant girl called half witted did
promise to defeat the victors Of Agin-
court and did 1t; It ought to be a
legend. but it happens to be a fact.
A poet and poetess did fall in loye
and eloped secretly to sunny cline;
1t Is obviously a three volume novel,
but 1t happened. Nelson did die in the
act of winning the one battle that
could change the world, it Is n gross
ly improbable coincidence, but 1t Is too
late to alter it now. Napoleon did win
the battle of Austerlitz; it is unnatu-
raj, but it is not my fault When the
general who had surrendered repub-
lican town returned, saying easily, Il
have done everything" Robespierre
did ask, with an air of inquiry,
Are you dead?" When Robespierre
coughed in his cold haranguc GARNER
did say. THE blood OF Danton chokes
you" Strafford did say OF his own de-
sertion of parliament, 'If I do 1t may
my life and death be set on hill for
all men to wonder at" Disraeli did
say, "The time will come when you
shall hear me-"
The heroic is a fact, even when it Is
n fact of coincidence or Of miracle,
and fact is thing which can be adj
mitted without being explained.-G. X.

No Drums In tho Middle Ages.

As we come TO the middle ages,
when the nations of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practlced for many CEN
turtles, rhythm had been quite forgot
ten, for what there is left to us OF
the music of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that 1t was
slowly and monotonously chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve. more partic-
ularly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts of percussion instru.
ments from the east. Various kinds OF
drums, tambourines and cymbals were
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days Of savages. and they
have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas.

great mistake TO lash il with drastic drugs

Resuming its adjourned session of Saturday, the Federal grand jury Monday morning win enter upon the home stretch of the. December ses- sion. A report to Judge Jones Is an- .ticipated Tuesday. C.
 Although the jury has been In ses- sion only four days. it has dispatched a volume of business. Judging by the small army Of witnesses. white and black: from the rural districts near Montgomery and from the noun tains where the rendezvous of the "moonshiner' is, list of indictments surprising in view of the short ses- sion, Is expected.
 The twenty three grand jurors, ap- parently, have borne out the behest of Judge Jones to expedite the ex- animation of witnesses, thereby econ omizing for Uncle Sam. The peonage case. in which Wash Gardner, a ne- gro, is alleged to have been held in condition of peonage. by the four Searcy brothers, Butler, Andrew. Samuel and Eugene, and Henry Shanks, Butler county farmers, Is the most interesting case that has been probed by this jury.

URGES MEN TO COME
O,HARA TALKS AT Y. M. c. A. MEMS
 MEETING.
Bad Weather Keeps the Attendance at Small Number, Hut the Ad- dresa Proves Most
 InterenfinE.

Owing to the indictment weather. only small number gathered at the Y. NJ. c. A. mems meeting Sunday afternoon at the Empire Theatre Rev. J, w. o'Hara. pastor of the Clayton Street Baptist Church. ad- dressed those present on the subject Come" which he explained as an in- vitation to accept Jesus Christ. He enumerated a number of agencies which were giving invitations to men to accept Christ and he illustrated his talk with many instances of the mes sages of the Holy Spirit.
 Commencing his talk. the speaker said that there was a continuous en- ternai Come" to man before he &C., cepted Christ and afterwards there was continuous "go." He said that those two words were the entire ex- perience of man. Come" is an invi- tation he said and he asked two aues- tons. "who are inviting?" and "who are invited7"
 Tn answering these. questions. he told how the Holy Spirit working through man himself was great agent In inyiting man to God. He said that the mysterious. mighty work Of the spirit in changing the hearts of men and in the issuing of these invitations to come to Christ was everywhere. Outside of the spirit, Rev. O'fIara explained that the indi- vidual. hand-to-hand work of man was the greatest force along this line.
 He took up the second question and showed the several classes who were invited to accept Christ to be the men who wanted to lead better life, the sinners and the drunkards. He gave several illustrations how men from each class had accepted Christ and were saved.
 Concluding, he said. "whosoever will, let him come and partake of the water of life. This invitation goes out to every class and to every man. no matter who he may be. Let us keep pronouncing these words and giving this invitation to come"

COTTON MORE VALUABLE

 BALES.
Spinners' Takings Running On Basis of 16,64O,OO0 Bales GR American Cot- ton Year, With Production
 Only 1O,OSS,OOO.
BY WALTER PARKER.

New Orleans. Dec. 12.-(Special.)- There have been remarkable scenes in the past on The floor of. the New Or. leans Cotton Exchange. but 1t is doubt full if any have been more dramatic than that witnessed on the reading of the agricultural departments estimate of the cotton crop for l909-10.
 Cheer after cheer from hundreds of throats resounded through the high vaulted ceiling and for the space of a minute or more the tumult was so great as to check business. Ten mill lions three hundred thousand. ten four, five and six were favorite guesses of what the estimate would be with oc- casionally a guess at lower figures which received no attention, but when the real thing" was announced in sten torian tones from the callers stand as 1O.OSS,QQ0 the whole ring went wild with enthusiasm as only Q Southern gathering can do. e'" t'-'
 What does the departments lO.OSs, 900 mean?
 On Thursday last, 1t was pointed out that the governments 300 pound bales were over percent less than the &C., tual running bales of this crop, So we have:
 Agricultural departments estimate of production for 1909-10 in bales of 800 pounds gross weight (exclusive of lin- ters)-1O.0SS,O0 900.
 Less per cent to assimilate total to average of actual running bales of this erop-202,000.
 Department's estimated production in actual bales--9. s86,O0O.
 Add linters per cent same average as for past ten years-202,00
 Repacks-75,000.
 Total--277, 900.
 Makes the agricultural departmen, point to fin actual square beles of com merce. say. 10,16s.000.
 Taking MT. Hester's growth of last year, say 13.s25.00O. this means. If borne out by results, a shrinkage of B. 762,O00 Does one realize what this means from a consumptiye standpoint
 The way the mills are going on, thus far, short time" looks like moon shine and yet there must be short time and plenty of 1t to eQualize the supply. In face of the departments famine fig ures Mir. Hester reports mill takings for the week at 320.000. Why if this could go on. 1t would mean 16,64O.0O bales per annum!
 In all they are behind last season only 13O,000 bales when the years sup ply will be something like three and hree-quarters of a million short.
 Certain 1t seems as If the staple will now he abundantly able to care for It. self without the intervention of bulls" or bears"
 The near future appears fraught with interesting events.
