LOUISIANA FARMERS
ARE HOLDING COTTON

BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. 1s.-The
suggestion of Governor Sanders, of Lou
isiana to the governors of other states
that they urge the farmers to hold their
cotton for higher prices, is apparently
meeting with favor among the majority OF
these executives.
Several responses have been received al
the executive Office here, sanctioning the
views of Governor Sanders and promising
perhaps similar proclamations.
The latter recently issued an address
urging the holding of the staple By the
planters of this state.

American Suffrsgette Describes Her
Strange Experience In English Jail.
Miss Alice Paul, an American, who
is a master of arts of the University
Of Pennsylvania and the daughter of
judge of New Jersey. was discharged
from Holloway prison in London the
other day after serving thirty days at
hard labor for raising the suffragette
disturbance and breaking windows at
the lord mayors banquet.
While in prison she refused to eat
or lie in bed to prevent her jailers
making her well. She says she was
fed by force in this manner:
1.-The largest wardress in Holloway
sat astride my knees. Two other
mattresses sat on either side and held
my arms. A towel was placed around
my throat, and one doctor from behind
forced my head back. while another
doctor put tube in my nostril. When
1t reached my throat my head was
pushed forward The tube came
through my mouth, and 1 got it be-
tween my teeth.
MY mouth was then pried open
with an instrument. Sometimes they
tied me to a chair with sheets. Once
1 managed to get my hands loose and
snatched the tube, tearing it with my
teeth. l also broke a jug, but they
succeeded in forcing me to eat"

HARLIE'S Wanlgan, In case you

such a thing may be. was

by ten wide. 1t was very solidly con-
structed of hewn timbers, square at
both ends. was inconceivably clumsy
and weighed an unbelievable number
of pounds When loaded, 1t carried all

utensils. tools and a chest OF tobacco.

cookies by means of pike poles and p
long sweep at either end.
The packing began before the me-
had finished breakfast. Shortly after
daylight the wanigan. pushed strongly
from shore by the pike poles, was drift
ing toward the chute. The heavy scow
threatened to turn side on. and the
sweeps at either end churned the wa
ter franticaly in an endeavor to
straighten her out.
AS Newmark looked at the smooth
rim of the water sucking into the
chute he began to wonder why he had
come. The noble ship was pointed
right at last and caught the faster wa
ter head on.
'Afl right"' Charlie shouted.
Zeke and his mate took in the oars.
The wanigan shot forward below the
gate.
Whack, bump. bang. and the scow
stopped so suddenly that its four men
plunged forward in a miscellaneous
heap The water, backed up behind
the stern. began to overflow into the
boat. Newmark saw that the scow
had run her bow on an obstruction
and had been brought to a standStill
square beneath the sluice gate. The
water was beginning TO flow the entire
length Of the boat. Various lighter ar
ticles shot past him and disappeared
over the side.
Newmark had an inspiration. The
more important matters. such as the
mems clothes bags. the rolls of bed
ding and the heavier supplies of pro-
visions had not yet cut loose from
their mOorings He seized one OF the
long oars. thrust the blade under the

oar was quickly locked alongside the

rush of water forced them all to cling
for their lives.
Two or three rivermen appeared at
the edge of the chute. A moment later

tAI thre days work of the log
drive with great interest. Grad
ually the men got used to him
and ceased 10 treat him as an outsider.
The drive went down as far as Red
ding IN thi:ty-three days. The men
worked foul teen and sixteen hours. at
times. Sieve raj bad jams relieved the
monotony. Problems of mechanics
arose TO be solved on the spot. Orde
solved them by rough and ready rule
of thumb. He built structures which
would have furnished a winters dis
cussion 10 some committees. just as
the Ioggers had built through rough
country hundreds of miles of road
better than railroad grade and smooth
as a turnp Ike. the quarter of which
would have occupied the average cOun-
ty board of supervisors for five years.
The drive was to be delivered at the
booms of Morrison and DAILY above the
city of Ret ding. n thriving place OF
about 10000 inhabitants situated on
long rapids forty miles from Lake
Michigan.
The last c.. mp was made six or eight
miles above the mill. A good proper
ton of the rivermen, eager for the
3own, tramped down the road. to re-
turn early In the morning more or less
drunk. One or two did not return.
Among the jewellers was the cook,
Charlie, commonly called 1.-The doctor"
and he moped about diSconsola tely. In
the evening he looked so much like
chicken with the pip that Orde's at
tention was attracted.

he inquired, with mock solicitude.

He deftly tipped the cards.
Nolan, who had watched keerly. in

it proved to be the ten of spades.
Everybody was ambitious. and the
young man, with inexhaustible pa

ally at each wrong guess. At length
he called a halt. by this time I'd
have had all your money" he pointed
out. 'Now I'll pick the jack" He
made his swift passes and distributed
the cards. Then. quite calmly, without
disturbing the three on the cracker
box, he held up the jack of hearts.
An exclamation broke from the
group. Nolan leaned forward and turn
ed over the three on the board. They
were the eight of diamonds and two
tens OF spades.

announced Newmark. "Once In awhile
