COST OF AMERICAS WARS.

Not counting the numerous In- dian outbreaks that are not classed as wars, this country has spent about 30 per cent. of .he 120 years since 17S9 in war. The United States has had six foreign wars and the greatest civil war known to his- tory. The amount expended on American pensions has been greater than the amounts spent by some of the greatest nations on their armies. In 1908 the United States disbursed in pensions the enormous sum of $153, ,093,0 while the net cost of the British army and its operations for 190S-09 will amount to only $13S,000,000.

ASKED FOR WORK, NOT FOOD
Why John Mitchell Did Not Fall Into the Ways of the
 Tramp.

It was while en route, sometimes as pedestrian and at other times riding the rods or the bumpers or in the more comfortable shelter afford- ed by the interior of freight ear, that the demoralizing and degrading effects of unemployment were first brought under my observation, says John Mitchell in the Circle. l came in contact with hundreds of young and middle aged men who, like myself, had either from choice or necessity left their homes 10 seek the more alluring fields of the west. Most of these travellers were without funds and it can be readily under stood that it was difficult for so many to find temporary employment that would enable them to provide themselves with food. As conse- quence many of these men, either through their inability to find work or because ia their anxiety to reach the new Fl Dorado they were un- willing to be delayed by the slow process of seeking some work to do every time they found 1t necessary to satisfy their hunger, adopted the custom of the professional tramp and, instead of asking for work, asked for food or solicited money from the residents of the towns through which they passed.
 Here let it be recorded that in no instance have 1 ever seen or known man to ask for bread or for money with which to buy bread that the performance did not cause a marked shock to his finer feelings snd a de- terioration in his character.
 l have often felt that 1 owed to my stepmother at least one great debt of gratitude in that she taught me to work. This lesson, along with the spirit of independence inherited from my father, saved me, no doubt, from falling into the great error of asking for or accepting food instead of asking for and insisting upon work.

Attest:
Letter to Sheepman.
c. A. Black, Clerk.

Gentlemen: have recently talked with B. A. l. District In- spector Harmon. and in order to help him to insure the dipping of all sheep before they leave the For est. we will require in the future that before crossing permit is is- sued you to leave the Forest, dip ping certificate will have to be sub mitted. dated later than September l, 1909.
 hope that this will not greatly discommode you and feel that the work Dr. Harmon is doing deserves our united support. You will re- member that last year a notice was sent out to the effect that all per mits for more than 4,000 head of sheep would be cut before next sea son. The exceptionally good range conditions that have prevailed lead me to believe that such a cut is not now either necessary or wise and have so represented matters to the District Forester. Pending receipt of definite instructions from him suggested that you work on the plan that the reduction will not be made. AS soon as l receive def nate word from the Forester will notify you positively how matters will stand next year.
 Very truly yours,
 FRANK C. w. P00LER,
 Forest Supervisor.

STOCK MARKET Is
 VERY UNSETTLED Setback to Steel Stocks in Paris
 Has Weakening Effect WHOLE LIST DECLINES
Fair Support Is Given to Stocks After the Decline Has Reached Ger tain Point and Prices Re-
 cover Some of Losses.

New York, June 16.-The unsettlement in the stock market which started yester- day proceeded to such length as to bring out forcible measures for the pro- lection of great banking interests and others interested in maintaining values. United States Steel was the center of dis turbance and for the greater activities in dealing. From Paris over night seemed to confirm the rumor current for several days that the effort to secure the admis- sion of United States Steel to the Paris bourse had failed through the refusal of the government official whose consent is necessary. The disturbing effect of this report and the acute weakness of United States Steel particularly was contested by powerful buying orders for the stock designed to support the price, and by re- newed assurances from J. P. Morgan & Go. of their confidence that the plan for introducing United States Steel to the Paris bourse, while delayed and encoun- tering some opposition, would be carried out.
 The great stress which has been laid on this project In connection with the spec ulation In United States Steel left no room for escape from an unfavorable eff feet from the reported defeat of the plan, whatever may be the actual bearing on the prospective value of the United States Steel shares. The open pressure on these lshares forced them down to 65ss, which is 11A lower than yesterdays closing price land points below the high level touched fTrt..o confined to that stock as the whole list showed sharp declines during the morning, and being subjected to pronounced pressure of liquidation.
 The professional organization which came into prominence yesterday was ac- tive again. Large liquidation was forced upon the market by the mere fall in prices which induced speculative hold CTS to throw over stocks to save profits or to limit losses. The bears continued to force the decline so long as this condi- ton continued The support which checked the decline in itself put stop to much of the selling, and the scramble of the bears to cover aided materially lin the purpose of those seeking to protect prices. The effect of the Paris news on Steel was enhanced by reports of de- termination of tin plate workers with the lcorporation to strike.
 The expected message of President Taft which proved to have been quite accurate Ily outlined in the news, was dwelt on by some of the sellers of stocks as a possible opening for renewed agitation in lCongress on the whole subject of corpor- lation control. The proposed 2-eent tax on net earnings of corporations and the recommendation to submit a constitu- ltional amendment permitting a tax on in-

COTTON MARKET FAILS ID HOLD UP Early Firmness is Lost in The
 Late Trading CROP REPORT IS BULLISH New High Marks Are Touched Soon After Opening But Realizing Fol. lows and Advance Is Not
 Held.
CROP REPORT IS BULLISH

New York, June 16-After early firm ness and new high market for the late positions the cotton market weakened in the late trading with the close steady, net points lower to points higher.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to points In a response to bet ter cables than expected. Excellent weather conditions caused realizing and offerings were very heavy around 10.95 for October. For a time this held the upward movement in check, but the cot ton gradually absorbed by increased com mission buying, but support and cover ing, which was probably the result of bullish spot market advices and expec- tations of bullish private crop report at 1 o'clock. Before this report was is- sued the market had sold up to 109S for October and 11.O4 for December, or 8 to 10 points net higher and at the high est prices reached this season for Decem- Der and later positions The expected crop report made the condition as of June Il, 7s.4 per cent against the government 8 report of S1.1 per cent as of May 25, the deterioration being attributed to excessive moistures, particularly in the central belt It seemed, however, that this report had been discounted by the previous advance and during (the last hour realizing be- came general with prices reaching the lowest level of the day. The close was only point or two up from the bot tom. Southern spot markets officially re- ported early were unchanged to 1sc high | CT. Receipts are running much smaller and many reports are being received in- dicating that the amount of unsold cot ton in the south is now very small | Receipts at the ports today. 4161 bales against 10657 last week and 9956 last year.
