A Herford Bon Mot.

Oliver Herford and friend were
strolling through section of town
that was plentifully strung with pull
ley lines on which many family
wash" was waving In the wind. Mr..
Herford's companion called attention
to the manner in which these gar
ments shut out the sky and otherwise
disfigrred the landscape. Mr.. Herford
gazed at them thoughtfully and then
gently murmured: THE short and

lie moved backward, his eyes fixed
on his sleeping enemy. occasionally
turning to see where he stepped. He
was getting near to cover. In this way
he passed to within a few steps Of
concealment. How he coveted the
overhanging bank near to him, yet far
enough to be useless should the senti-
mel awake too SoOni
Cachew.
This sound was real; it was sneeze
from the picket.
Mark knew that it was a signal of
awakening. He darted behind the bank
and was out Of sight.
He heard the sentinel get up, shake
himself, give yawn, a grunt, as II
chilled, and begin to pace his beat.
Mark moved away cautiously. a
great flood of JOY and thankfulness
yelling up through his whole nature.
After going d sufficient distance to be
out of hearing, he awakened Jakey.
"Jakey! Wake up!'
The boy opened his eyes.
"We're beyond the picket"
"Whar's my gun?"
"Oh, blessed childhood" thought
Mark, 'that in moments of peril can
be interested in such trifing things!
II have your gun here indmy hand.
It's safe. Stand on your legs, my boy.
We're going on
Jakey stood on the ground and rub
bed his eyes with his fists. Once
awake be was awake all over.
They moved on down the river to-
ward the base Of Lookout mountain,
soon leaving the river margin and
striking inland behind some rising
ground. Finding convenient nook in
a clump Of bushes wherein to leave
Jakey, Mark told him to lie down and
stay there while he reconnoitered to
find a way to get down the river and
to cross it.
Mark hunted nearly all night He
could find no practicable route. he
did not know how to proceed around
Lookout mountain, and could find no
means Of crossing the Tennessee near
where he was. At last, looking down
from q knoll, he could see the margin
Of the river at a place where the bank
concealed the shore between the base
Of the bank and the verge Of the wa
ter. But what be saw especially, and
which gladdened his heart, was boat
moored to the shore and In it a pair
Of oars.
Going back to the place where he
had left Jakey he wakened him, and
together they returned to the knoll.
The boat was still where he had seen
1t. Leading the way Mark descended
to the bank. So intent was he upon
seizing the, boat that he did not think
to approach cautiously. He forgot that
where there was a boat with oars in
it the oarsman would likely not be far
away.
He jumped down to the slanting
ground below and landed in the midst
Of a party Of Confederate soldiers.

COTTON GOODS ARE
 SLIGHTLY BETTER

New York. November 19.-The week closed with a better tone manifested in the cotton goods markets. Trading has not been active. but there has been steady broadening in the demand and hardening in prices on cloths that have sold very low. It has developed that some of the large selling agencies have been quietly accepting business for delivery in the first two months of the year and buy CTS have been learning that immediate de- liveries of many staples are not so read fly obtained.
 Delay is still noted in the placing of duplicate business on wash fabrics. and while goods by retailers and jobbers and the fine goods end of the business is slow, Fall River sold 100000 pieces of print cloths and prices are up isc per yard from the extreme low points reached on wide cloths.
 Some of the converters are buying more generally of speciality cloths for future delivery. The miscellaneous export trade is good but China trade is wanting. The tories and are not expected to move in any active way for large quantities of goods until final price revisons for spring are made. A leading producer of dress ginghams announced that fall lines will be ready in January, and will be priced on the current basis, thus giving color to the general belief that gingham prices are not to be changed.

The antitrust law, as now interpreted, does not strike at the form, of an organization; but it deals with the propriety or impropriety of purpose and conduct
 Large Combines Are Necessary
 Large commercial organizations, how ever, are necessary, under our made quate system composed of numbers Of state corporations. No state corporation Is large enough to cover the whole field, and therefore national and foreign com merce necessarily depends upon the com bination of a number of separate state companies.
 The mere existence Of such a combina- ton excites doubt and creates confusion. If federal authority should provide a plain and distinct form which may be followed, most of this doubt would be eliminated from the case; federal author ity would have to deal only with the con- duct and the purpose of organizations. and the attention would be directed to the one question which the antitrust law was really intended to present.
 Such law might well be supplemented with further provisions looking to public ity as to certain controlling phases of the business so authorized. The value of such publicity has been recognized by many large concerns, and has been dem onstratcd by the reports of the bureau of corporations. I would not advocate more publicity than Is necessary to give a fair understanding of the controlling meth OTIS and activities of a business, but that much publicity would be a protec- ton to tho concern as well as to the gen. erai public. More than that. it would be a protection to the small investor in large concerns

AMERICA EXPORTS
 GOOD RAISIN CROP
More Than a Million Dollars Worth Were Sent Out Last
 Year

Washington, November 19.-.More than S1 .oOO GOO worth of raisns were exported from the United States in the last fiscal year. the quantity. 1s,50o00O pounds, being far in excess of the total exported in any earlier year. The imports during the year amounted to only 2,5c00OO pounds, against 100000 pounds in 1900 and as high as 50,0o0,000 pounds in certain years prior to the development of production in the United States. Comparing 1911 with 1900, the figures of the bureau of statistics, department of commerce and labor, show that exports grew from 2,5O0,- COG pounds to over 1s,5O0,000 pounds, and their value. from $14o,00o to s1,069.0oO. Dur ing tho same period imports of raisins fell from 10333 900 pounds in 1900 to 250o,- 00O in 1911, and their value. from s531,000 to $237,0 The largest exportation of raisins recorded in any year prior to 1911 vas that of 1907, a little over 9,000,000 pounds, or less than half that of 1911, while the largest importation of ralsns on record is that of 1884, when total of 54,000,OO0 pounds entered the country. as against but 2,50o,OoO pounds in the fiscal year 1911.
 Canada is by far the largest market for American raisins exported. the ex- ports thereto in the fiscal year 1911 hav- ing been 11,OOG.O0O pounds, compared with less than 3,00o00O to New Zealand, about 1.000,00O each to England and Germany, and 3,0OO.O0O pounds to all other parts of the world Of the 2,5OO,0OO pounds import ed last year Spain, England. Asiastic Russia and Asiatic Turkey were the chief sources, the first named country being credited with over 100000 pounds, and the others less than half million pounds each. These figures contrast with those Of 1884 when of nearly 54,000,0O0 pounds of raisins imported, Spain was credited with 4i,5O0000 pounds: England, 3,600,0O0, and Italy nearly 100000 pounds.
 The marked falling off in importations of raisins is the result of the rapid in- crease in domestic production, which first attained commercial importance in the early '70s. The American raisin indus try had it's beginning in the great San Joaruin valley and certain counties of southern California, which is still the chief producing area in the United States In 1873 the California crop was but 10000 pounds; by 1880 it had grown to 1,500.o0o pounds: by 1890, 3S,000,o0O pounds: by 1900 to 90, ,OO0 eco pounds, and iu the later years has risen as high as 140.O00.000 pounds fn 1907 and 19Os and fallen as low as 750oo.- GOO pounds in 1904. the figure for 1910 be- ing 112.OOO,OO0 pounds. These figures of production are supplied bv Mir. George Robertson, statistician of Fresno county, California, and are here quoted in the absence of official data covering the pro duction in the United States as whole.
 The effect of domestic production upon imports and exports of raisins is clearly set forth in the figures which follow:
