COTTON CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Damage From Boil Weeyil i'm Three
State Noticably Small.

Memphis, Tenn. July t7-The
Commercial-Appeal tomorrow Will
say:
An Improvement in cotton condi-
tions during the past week is gener-
allv reported. In the Central ana
Eastern States the crop conditions
could hardly be improved upon, as
the plant is growing rapidly anu
fruiting heavily and has had an
abundance of rain, while the cultl-
walton is still good, work in the
fields having ben interfered Win
only in limited localities by exces-
siye rainfall. With an average fav-
cradle weather during the remain
der of the season, record crop Will
be made over this large area.
Boil weeviIs are more numerous
in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas, but the damage so far is notlc-
ably small.
The earliness of the crop is no
table feature in the Eastern anC
Central States ,and grown to half
grown bolls in the most northern
districts.
In Texas and Oklahoma moderate
showers to heavy rains, widely dls'
tributed, served to arrest the deter
ioration that had set in over wid'
areas, and hte outlook is therefore
improved. The plant in many place.
is small, however, and more ram i
Geeded to put it in god condition
Eastern and Central Texas countie
are an exception to this statement

THE VACATION GARB
FOR The SUMMER GIRL
Pretty Yet Sensible Garments
Should Be Selected.

The girl who is going away on
vacation has problem before her In
the choice OF clothes. OF course ey-
erything is more or less settled by the
climate she goes into; but, after all,
one wears summer clothes iE summer
with the addition Of few warm gar
ments If the weather is cool.
For two or three weeks stay she
would only need four white skirts,
which she could make Of linen duck
at home by a good six gore pattern,
and one dark brown or blue for long
walks or for boating. Her blouses
should be all white or with just a
speck of color, and she will find china
silk better for this than muslin and
embroidery. They do not require such
dainty ribbon run underwear as q
transparent waist, and they are not
as expensive to launder.
The best pattern has q few fiat
plaits down front and back. sleeves

the wrist, q soft turnover cum, TO-

Ranid MiIkind,

Conclusive tests have shown that
rapidity is one of the great essentials
in milking a cow. Massage by the
hand on the cows udder excites the
nervous action, which in turn stimu-
lates action of the milk glands. The
more rapid the massage movements
the greater is the nervous stimulation
of gland action and the greater amount
of milk that will be yielded. Not only
so. but the faster the milk is drawn
the richer 1t will be in butter fat. OF
ten there is a difference of more than
10 per cent of butter fat in milk be
tween fast and slow milking In favor
of the former.

Cossack and Saint.

A Paris contemporary by way OF
Illustration as to how some persons
discharge their religious obligations
relates a story of a Cossack who was
overtaken by a terrible storm of
thunder and lightning. In his terror
he prayed to the saint to save him and
promised if only he once more
reached his home he would sell his
horse and the proceeds should be
spent in candles in honor of the Saint.
The saint, pleased with so generous
an offer, stayed the storm and the
Cossack reached home in safety.
This is how he discharged his VOW:
The next day he went to the market
with cock and horse. His method
of sale was this: He would only sell
the two together, the horse at 30
kopecks (about Is pence) and the COCK
at 200 rubles (about 920). After a
time the Cossack found a purchaser
on these terms and faithful to his
VOW the Cossack devoted Is pence to
the purchase of candles for the altar
Of his patron saint.

LEES IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN
Great Southerner's High Ideals Shown
by Memorandum Found Among
His Papers.

Lee hated parade, display and cere-
mony, hated above all things being
made an object of public gaze and ad.
ulation, declares a writer in the At
lantic. His idea of high position was
high responsibility; a superior was
simply one who had larger duties, and
the mark of gentleman was a keen
sense of the feelings and susceptible
ties of others.
No one has ever expressed this at
titude more delicately than he him
self In memorandum found among
his papers after his death.
The forbearing use of power does
not only form touchstone, but the
manner In which an individual enjoys
certain advantages over others is a
test of true gentleman.
The power which the strong have
over the weak, the magistrate over the
citizen, the employer over the employ
ed, the educated over the unlettered.
the experienced over the confiding.
even the clever over the silly-the for
bearing or inoffensive use of all this
power or authority or a total absti.
hence from it when the case admits II
Will show the gentleman in a plain
light
The gentleman does not needlessly
and unnecessarily remind an offender
OF wrong he may have committed
against him. He cannot only forgive,
he can forget; and he strives for that
nobleness of self and mildness of
character which impart sufficient
strength to let the past be but the
past. A true man OF honor feels hum
bled himself when he cannot help
humbling Others"
