Taft is satisfied with the progress of
tariff legislation and is confident that
a good bill will be the final outcome,
but We notice that he declines to
commit himself one way or the other,

he takes the stand that his turn has

STORY OF A BELL.

Few persons suspect that in the
cathedral church of Notre Dame in
Paris is q bell contemporaneous with
Joan of Archie blessed belI'
which sounded the tocsin when the
maid of Lorraine appeared in Au-
gust, 1929, and Paris was besieged
by the English. This historic bell,
referred to by Victor Hugo in his
"Notre Dame de Paris" was given
to the cathedral in 400 by Jean de
Montaign. 1t was refunded in
1886, and then rebaptized under the
name of Emmanuel Louise Therese,
in honor of Louis XIV. and Marie
Therese of Austria.
So if this bell is not the same bell
which the heroine of Domremy
heard, nevertheless the same metal
vibrates to-day at the great religious
ceremonies of the metropolitan
church. In view of labor events it
seems rather more than a coinci-
dence that when all the other bells
of Notre Dame we're destroyed by
the Revclutioni8ts Joan's bell should
have been spared.

IN TRUE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE.
At the Last 5ostonians Divided with
Each Other Their Most Precious
Possession.

1t was a touching scene! The
sun poured iercel down on the hot
sands, whitening everything in sight
with its searching rays. The desert
had never known a more awful day.
The two Bostonians, struggling
across these superheated wastes,
spied each other in the distance and
hope ran high in the hearts of each.
Here might be relief, for both were
dying of starvation and thirst; but
when they came together they saw
it was hopeless.
Neither had meat or drink!
81 have no bread" said one. "But
if l had a crust l would have shared
it with you"
q have no WATER said the other.
"But if l had but a thimbleful half
Of it would have been yours"
And then impulsively they.
clasped hands and spoke in unison.
"Never mind" each cried. 81 will
split my last infnitive with YOU"
1t was thus that they were able
to happily and %fearlessly face death
together -Harper's Weekly.

BEFORE THE DAYS OF STEAM.
American Sailing Ships Made Records
Which No other Nation Could
Begin to Reach.

The best record is held by a sail
ing vessel for a voyage between San
Francisco and New York. She has
a margin of IA days lead over the
best run ever made on the reverse
voyage. This record-breaking trip
was taken by a full-rigged ship
called the Trade Wind in 1853. She
made the run in exactly IS days. In
the same year the Contest covered
the course in 10 days.
1t must be remembered that those
were the days when sailing vessels
were at their best, and America took
a proud place in the commerce of
the world because of her fine fleets
Of clippers. Down East shippers
roamed the seas and made records
that still stand unchallenged.
The course taken by these fine
fleets in those days between New
York and San Francisco was ex-
actly 1850 miles i'll length, and it
was no mean accomplishment for
the Trade Wind when she hung up
the record of IS days from the Gold
en- Gate to New York.
The best sailing record from New
York to San Francisco was made in
1851 by the Flying Cloud, an Amer
lean clipper ship. She covered the
distance in SO days, reeling off 374
miles in one of the SO.
In 1852 the S~wordfsh, also an
American clipper, covered the same
route in 80 days.

oLD,FAsHloNED DOOR PLATE.

Door plates are going out of
fashion," said a man whose business
it is to make plates of all kinds.
Twenty years ago every man of
prominence had his name craven
upon a plate and hat plate affixed
to his front door, hal all might
know who dwelt within. The daily
task of the negro houseman was to
rub the door plate until it shone,
1t took the place of the Lares and
Penates of the Romans, and was at
tended to just as carefully as were
the ancient household gods.
Everything is changed now,
though. l suppose the reason is
that people don't have homes as
they used to. They simply live in
houses and apartments and move
around so much that a door plate
couldn't possibly endure the peripa-
tetic existence. A collection Of a big
apartment building would, I con-
fess, look rather odd. louisville

THE HUNTING DOGS SCENT.

A rabbit hears a man and a dog
coming and goes bounding away for
safety. The dog strikes the scent,
smells around briefly, and then is off
in the direction that the rabbit has
taken. The wonder is not that the
dog should strike the scent, but this.
Each of the several spots the rabbit
touched was touched by him within
a fraction of a second of one anoth-
er; yet so accurate is the sense of
smell Of the dog that he can tell
which was touched last, and so get
the direction of the rabbits course.

After the violent reactions which

Of the week, came a feeling of timidity
among traders in general, evidently
on the theory that a burned child

arisen against Is cen cotton has af-
fected the nerves Of the big specula-
tors. They realize that with mills
closing down and dry goods interests
at a StandStlll they must face an op-
position that means lower prices in

The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1909-11-23

The Financial Chronicle. in a re-
view of the week, says:
1T is true that the more radical
bulls stick to guesses of 100000 to
1O,500,000 bales. but as time goes on
such figures show less and less cred
ence. That the crop is smaller than
that OF last year is quite generally be-
1eved. The contention, however, is
that the decrease has been greatly
over-stated for speculative
or by bullish enthusiasts with whom
the wish is father to the thought.
Texas advices are to the effect
that the top crop will be much larger
than expected. New Orleans and
Liverpool at times have been large
sellers. The recent slaughter of the
lambs and within a few days the
sharp and erratic fluctuations have
combined to restrict speculation, and
the conviction is growing that bullish
speculation having received a severe
blow, the continued favorable weather,
with crop estimates gradually reach
ing higher figures, is likely to cause
prices to recede."
"Spinners' takings," declared ". P.
Brown, are larger than they were to
the corresponding date last year, and
last year up to this time were the
largest on record. The question is.
why are %spinners buying more cotton
THIS year than last, unless they are
badly in need Of same? The price
mas averaged $40 to SIS per bale
higher than last year. The fact Of
the matter is that the mills Of the
world can make Just as much money
spinning cotton at present prices as
tney could q year ago when both goods
ana cotton were selling at the low
prices ruling at that time. After all.
