A Story of Father Mathew.

Father Mathew was the most low
ing and lovable Of human beings" and
in the light of this statement found in
biography Of the famous Irish priest
by Mrs. Katherine lyman Hinkson
two incidents of his crusade for tenn
perance in the north Of Ireland should
be read.
At Clones, in Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised, when he visited
It. Instead of considering it as an in
suit, he thought it a very great com
pliment, never having seen one or
been honored with one before. When
he saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag. Commenting on
this. an Irish writer says:
"a Catholic priest calling for a cor
dial salutation of the Orange banner
and a Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending was something almost tncon-
ceivable. 1t had never occurred before
in Ireland. I'm afraid 1t has never oc-
Cured since"
For the time being there were good
will and friendly feeling from one end
of Ulster to the other. One recruit
who knelt for Father Mathews bless
ing said:
"You wouldn't be blessing me If you
knew what am"
"And what are you, my dear?" Fa-
Their Mathew called men, women and
children my dear"
.sI am an Orangeman, your rever-
ence."
"Why, God bless you, my dear, |
wouldn't care if you were lemon

BILLION DOLLAR CROP.

Last yeaf's cotton crop yielded the south 06S3000.000, but if present prices prevail to the end of the season t is estimated that the crop this year will be worth from S900,000000 to Sl000.- 00o,000, including, of course, the prices obtained for the seed of the plant and products obtained thereof.
 These figures mean that while the yield of many farmers will be smaller this year than last and they will re. ceive as much for tho crop as they did for the larger one of 1908
 But measure ot prosperity greater than has ever been known before will come to the growers of Inc central south, where the ero pis reported to be as large as 1t was last year.
 Should present prices hold. it is es. timated that in Georgia alone the yalne of the crop this season over hat Of lats year will be about $50. COG, ,0QQ.
 The two Carolinas. proportionateiy. win do as well, while Alabama, Missis sippi, Louisiana and Texas. in spite of the fact that their crops are short will receive in the aggregate more for their cotton than they did last year.
 But while cotton is the south's great crop, 1t is not undisputed king as 1t was once in its domain, says the Washington Post.
 "A great diversity of crops is con. trlbutinel to the increasing prosperity Of this section Grain, fruit. trusk. ing and dairsing are all having their share in providing the basis of pros perity, and the industrial enterprises are showing rapid growth. Coal mines arc being forced to their capacity at advancing prices. and the eonsump- tion of iron is exceeding the available supply.
