 Three dice were thrown three times. Whoever threw the highest number Ill three throws was to win the woman. A stockman won her, and she began to beg him to buy her little boy. He told her the boy would be of no use to him. Her pleadings were pathetic.

 "If the winner" said Lester, twill put up the mother with the boy, mak- ing a pool for the two of $1'OOO, I'll take half the chances"
 "Done," said the winner, who would make a profitable cash turn by the transaction.
 Lester took half the chances, as he had agreed, and had one chance en- tered in the name of little Joe, the boy When all was ready the owners or chances began to throw. It was agreed that Lester should open the game Having a number of chances, he threw for each chance, his highest throw being forty-five in possible fifty-four. The next three men threw less than he. but the last man to throw before the boys chance came to be tested threw forty seven.
 "Come. Joe" said the clerk, throw for yourself. There you are. If you win, your mother and you will be free"

 Think Prices Are Inflated.

New York. Nov. 26.-The cotton market has resolved itself into a spec ulative duel between large trade ln- telests, who think that prices are un- warrantably higher on the one nand, and certain powerful New Orleans, Chicago and Wall street operators, who support the theories that supplies are certain to be short and the con. sumption large and that prices arc dde to be much higher
 Liver pool spot sales have hcen very small Manchester has sent gloomy reports as to the condition 1s trade, politics in England, India, it is con tended may affect British trade un- favorably, and if there Is any short age of crop in America and Egypt there will be much larger yield than usual in India.
 Believers in lower prices contend that consumption must be unfavor- ably affected by the ruling prices and that there will be enough cotton ana to spare. Not only are some speeula- tors fighting the advance, but spin ners at home and abroad are doing the same thing. For over a month many spinners have bought but spar ingly An English estimate of the crop of 11,250.0O0 bales was issued on Thanksgiving Day, when the New York market was closed, and the aver age guess of the members of the Liverpool exchange is II ,462, 900 bales.
 Liverpool keeps selling straddles water on the theory that the differ ence between the two markets are only about half what they should be.
 At times there has been consider able liquidation by Wall street. west ern and southern traders.

Now and then it appears that lead ing bulls have disposed of some of their manipulative lines. even if they have stood by their principal holdings.
 The tone has been nervous, uncer tain and more or less apprehensive owing to the manipulative character of much of the trading on both sides of the market But even on days when liquidation was heavy, 1t has been remarked that the cotton on the while will be taken. Receipts are steadily falling off. Those at the ports at times have been only about half what they were on the corresponding day last year, and bullish weekly statistics are expected by many from now on. One southern house estimat- ed the crop today at only 10.200,000 bales. including 2.45o,0OO bales in Texas and 1,95O,0O0 in Georgia
 The south has sold so much cotton at high prices that it's financial condi- Nloli, ll IS diBucu, tHdDitS tdliuefS tU hold cotton back if they are disposed to do so. A Baltimore authority puts the value of this cotton crop with the seed at between $900,000,000 and ST. GOO 900 O00.
 That would be the most profitable crop on record and would have dis tinctly favorable effect on the finances not only of the south, but of the na- ton.
 A rumor has been current that To- 900 bales of the local stock would be shipped to France Bulls, it is said, will meet efforts to bring cotton here on the part of their opponents with equal determination to dispose of the New York stock in Europe James A. Patten, in interviews in newspapers expresses himself as very bullish on the outlook.
 As the case stands, some consider the price dangerously inflated and others think that a further advance in order. Stocks are increasing at much slower rate than they did yrar ago. but on the other hand, spinners' takings for the week are much small CT than for the same time last year.

 Attorneys for petitioner.
 It appears from the movements of the "antf' attorneys that their solo purpose at present fs to secure . license. The application for a man damus was not made, until Thursday afternoon, after the news had come from Mobile that the Probate Judge of that county had refused to issue Q license. Every move for license upon application. has thus far been lost by the applicants in Montgomery. Selma and in Mobile. Now a resort to . man damus comes, and 1t may be that an attempt to secure license through a peremptory mandamus will be made in Mobile.
 D. & Troy, of the Anti" legal forces. returned from Mobile Thursday morn ing. and undaunted by the refusal of Judge Price Williams in the Gulf City. the attorneys will continue the fight on every hand. While pleading for Q manJamus against Judge Gaston. the attorneys will also appear before Judge Jones Saturday. following up their bill in which was asked for a writ of injunction. restraining the officers of the state from enforcing the law.
 It is expected that every attorney interested in the fight for an injunc- ton will be ready by Saturday. to ap" pear before Judge Jones.
