waxed hot, ending with an emphatic

the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;

ARE MASTERS OF EvAsIvENEss.
sedouin's Answer Typical of the Peo-
Pile of the East.

In the far east, when men converse
together, an evasion is equal to an
answer. Riding down to Egypt over
the old caravan route from Jerusalem
to Cairo, Norman Duncan and a party
pitched their tents outside Bedouin
village and by so doing offended
against the laws of hospitality which
the people so religiousiy maintain,
Mr.. Duncan, writing in Harper's Mag
azine, says that he was obliged to turn
aside their reproaches-and avoid the
abominable quarters which were still
being offered Turning to his guide,
he said: The man must be diverted.
Ask him II the world is round or
fat" The reply was pure philoso-
piers jewel of the east. IF the world
is fiat" came the response. after
heavy pondering, Il am content; II 1t
is round, 1t is by Gods wisdom" And
the men softly applauded, in their
pleasure forgetting their injury, for
Getting everything except the joyous
native craft of words.

 the Advance Is Lost.
NET GAIN 6 TO ii POINTS

New York, July 29.-While somewhat irregular, the tendency of the cotton mar ket was upward as a result of bullish crop conditions reports, and the close was steady at q net gain of 6D11 points. The market opened steady at a decline of 2 points to an advance of 1 point with sen timent divided between unfavorable for eign advices and the report of the Ma tional Ginners making the condition of the crop 71.7 against 72 per cent reported on July 19, and 75.6 per cent last month. Another report issued at the opening made the condition Il per cent against the governments August bureau of S3 per cent last year. These reports seemed on the whole to offset the disappointing cables and unfavorable opinion regarding the foreign trade situation based upon disturbances in Spain and the threat of a big strike by English miners. and the market soon sold up to @ net advance of 10012 points.
 After moderate reaction the market hrmed up again and at one time during the afternoon sold 12 to 15 points net high CT with December 12. 49c, or a shade over the best price of yesterday. Later rumors that a private condition report to be is- sued tomorrow would show in the neigh borhood of 75 per cent and an idea that bullish bureau had been discounted, promoted realizing and selling for a turn under which the market lost 10 or Il points of the advance, but spot interests were buyers on this decline and December closed at 12 43c bid.
