Five hundred farmers and as many
bankers, congressman, United States
senators and business men, represent
ing every cotton growing state in
America, declared in convention at
Montgomery, Ala, that the farmers
cotton Is worth Is cents pound, and
resolved that the farmer should hold
his cotton for that price. The reso-
luton followed a committee report
that the crop in America would not
exceed 12,500,000 bales. For financing
the crop of this year resolution was
adopted to the effect that the farmer
should deposit his cotton in a ware
house and use his receipt as collat-
eral until he could sell his cotton at
fair price, not less than Is cents.
There was also a re solution that the
several state legislatures provide for
system of bonded warehouses. At
lanta was chosen for the next meet

One thousand men from every cot

Montgomery, Ala, and until black
night darkened an auditorium which
contained no provision for light, con-

better price for cotton. Among these
men were numbered congressman,

 He told her he had spent a pleas ant evening; he thanked her for the little gift; he promised to come again, and he got out and away-and then he realized that he had not given her the present he had meant to hand to her with few well chosen words which should cause her to fall into his arms and promise to be his forever Also, he realized that he had not even wished her merry Christmas in the way he had planned to wish it.
 All the way home he abused him. self for being such a fool Why. any man with a spark of self-confidence he told himself would have told the girl what he had in his heart and in his pocket for her-would have made a neat but effective little speech Of presentation, and would have concud. ed his peroration with her heaC against his shoulder and her plum white hand in his.

 young woman as Just such yOuA- man as Andrew would ardently 64s.re to present with his throbbine hear, and the contents of the neat pGcO&ge. The latter contained a ring, set with a single diamond The ttrobbing heart contained what Andrew was ready to promise should be lifelong devotion to Amabel
 Why go into detail regarding the whole year during which he had laid siege to the heart of Amabel?
 There had been moments this Christmas eve when Andrews fingers nervously sought his breast pocket. Amabel knew he was on the verge of proposing. Gracious mercy! The woman who cannot diagnose a threat ened proposal is no woman at all The stammering speech, the flushed brow, the hesitant remarks, the fiXity of stare-all these and many other symptoms are to the average woman what temperature and respiration are to the specialist in levers
 For some unexplained reason women like to postpone a proposal They prolong the agony. They enjoy the signs, the awkwardness, the anxiety of the swain. They revel in his ab- ject willingness to sacrifice himself, if need be, to gain their promise.
 It may be that instinct teaches them this is the only moment when the man will be a slave.
 At last, however, 1t became time for Andrew to say goodnight It was Christmas eve, and he knew Amabel's s family would have some little prepara. tions to make for the festivities of the morrow. He did not think for a ment of the tremendous fact that when young woman allows young man to spend Christmas eve with her she Is writing Yes" in large letters on the wall. No man can realize any. thing at such times.
 Andrew said he must be going, after Amabel had began to wonder if he was going to talk about the weather and the latest book all evening.
 Must you go, really?" she asked brightly. Wait just a moment. have something for you"
 She went into another room, ther came back with a small package which she handed to him.

it count for what 1t lacks in value or beauty, won't you?"
 She carelessly reached up and ad justed the spray of mistletoe, smiling also at Andrew Andrew stood there turning the package over and over in his hands, blind as ever. What Am. abel thought we never will know There must be times while woman is landing man that she is so en. ragged with his obtuseness that she would keenly enjoy humping him on the head with shovel.
 Andrew got his eyes away from hers long enough to ask:
 Are you going to have a Christmas tree?'
 No. We're old-fashioned, you know We're just going to hang up our stockings in front of the grate, and let Santa come right down the chimney l love those old customs, don't you?"
 As she spoke of the old customs she once more pushed the spray of mistletoe up into place. This time Andrew saw it, and away down deep in his heart he wished he were just a good friend of Amabels

for Labor Legislation then induced
the Diamond company to assign it's
patent to three trustees-Charles P.
Neill, commissioner of labor; E. R.

university, and Jackson H. Ralston,
attorney for the American Federation
of Labor. AS even this extraordinary
step did not satisfy some people, the
owners were induced to cancel the
patent in order that "phossy jaw"

How has he done it? How could country doc

have failed to reveal? These are natural ques-

not made by accident. DR.. Schafer studied dis
ease germs diligently for ten years and developed
a laboratory not matched in the hospitals of San
Francisco before he injected his anti-toxin into
human being. Then he tried it on himself to
make sure that it was harmless. He is a scientific

and surgery. He would have worked out his theo-
