Second-CIop Cotton.

The other day a gentleman from
the lower Rio Grand valley appear
ed on the floor of the Houston
cotton exchange and exhibited a
novelty in the way of cotton
stalk that attracted universal in
terest. 1t was thrifty-looking
stalk, four and one-half feet high,
and containing one hundred
and fifty bolls and squares.
1t was represented as a fair sample
of the twelve-acre field from which
1t was cut. The popularity which
made it of interest consisted in the
TACT that 1t was second growth
stalk. After picking nine bales, the
planter irrigated the patch and new
shoots sprang up from root and will
have plenty of time to mature at
least bale to the acre. This was
off of the land which this year pro-
duced the earliest bale Of cotton
ever marketed. Neighboring farmers
are treating their lands in a SINH
lar manner, some cutting down the
old stalk while others planted new
seed in between the old rows, and
all have a fine prospect of profit
This incident is surprising in
able results.
This incident is surprising in that
1t makes possible a double crop of
cotton in a year from a single
planting, but that is an extremely
limited area for the season else
where is too brief to permit of
growth and fruitage for more than
one crop, and that not always en-
tirely satisfactory. The early frosts
often do their deadly work before
the crop is fully ripe and ready for
4 hn MI
TO discover a good deal more such
land before a second crop OF cot
ton has any appreciable effect on
the market.-Observer

A Notable Indian Woman.

Mrs. Narcissa Owen, 80 years old
mother of United States Senator
robert l.. Owen, died at Guthrie,
July IL, as the result of injuries
received some weeks before in a
fall. She was a Cherokee Indian,
native of Webbers Falls. in old
indian territory, and had achieved
fame as an author and artist. Her
principal book was a history of the
Cherokee Indians.
Mrs. Ovens history was full OF
interest from the time her father,
Chief Robert Chisholm, died until
she had educated herself and was
self sustaining, having a position in
the Masonic High School at Fort
smith, Ark. 1t was there that she
fist met DR.. Robert Latham owen,
OF Virginia, who became her hus-
bard. With 500 other women from
her section during the civil war she
made uniforms day and night. She
nuTsed the wounded and gave her
ali to feed the Southern army when
evil days fell upon it. After her
wifowhood Mrs. Owen returned to
teaching An artist of more than
ordinary boldness and talent and a
musician of unusual attainments, she
made an excellent living She taught
III enc or the schools until after her
son, Robert Lantham Owen, the SEN
ator from Oklahoma, became Indian
agent and a lawyer of fair prom
Use.
Mrs. Owen until three years ago
was as erect and sturdy as one OF
the warriors o' her race, but she
then suffered a stroke of paralysis
Her home was full of fascinating
trophies of the heroic days of her
life and she could tell as thrilling
a story as Cooper could pen. 1t
was Mrs. Ovens father who receiv-
ed from Thomas Jefferson the ia
nous peace medal which marked
the perfect harmony of the United
States government and the Chero-
kee tribe.
Mrs. Owen was directly descend
ed from Queen Quatsis, lineal sue
oessor of the original chiefs of
Cherokee blood of many years
ago, and was herself one-sixtieth
Cherokee. Practically all along the
line Mrs. Owen boasted an ususual
ancestry. One of the intimate traits
of the members of the Owen fam
lily, a characteristic which, by the
way, had much to do with their
worldly success, was their indom-
mate will. This came through
Mrs. Norcissa Owen and her ances-
tors.-Kansas City Star.

There are still in service sailing

there is little chance of that, for
these add crafts are never seen in

Young Bayard. who had been a pa
tient in the Garfield Hospital since FRI
day, fell or jumped from the tllri to
the second-stoTy veranda and died with

tcpsy revealed that he suffered from
pericarditis and died from a shock that
broke no bones. left only a few slight
bruises and wou probably not have
resulted seriously to a man in normal
health.

the youngest son OF the late statesman.
He came to Washington recently from
Baltimore, where he had been visiting
Ids sister, Mrs. Ellen NJ. L~ewenkraut.

urday evening he was left alone for a
few moments, and when the nurses re-
turned he was missing. Searchers found
him on the second floor veranda In a
s-emi-conscious condition. 1t was not

day morning he suddenly began TO sink

are In their teens. but as long as their
mother finds herself equal to taking

The opposite 10 the case in surround

ent position In life from that occupied
by their parents and rnove'in different
circle In consequence. Their mothers
have probably lived a retired home life
and have confined their visiting to
their own immediate relatives. The
daughters. on the other hand. have
made friends with girls OF their own
age at school. at golf. at croquet and
tennis clubs and have enjoyed many
social advantages from SO doing.
There could be no question under these
conditions whether they should or
should not have cards Of their own. 1t
Is foregone conclusion. and when they
call on the friends they have made and
at the houses where they have been en-
tertained they must leave cards bear

JEWELRY FADS

THIS is likely to be great jewelry
season owing to the new fashions
in jewelry which the coronation will
bring about. A coronation year always
means that the ladies Of the great
families Of England bring out their
gems and have them reset in the new
est fashion. Danes of lower degree,
who have no heirlooms, but much
money. follow the fashion. So do
American society women. The conse-
quence is that every coronation inau-
gurates new fashion era so far as
5ewelry is concerned. London and
Partisan jewelers. are showing many
novelties. Not the least startling Of
these Is the jeweled ornament which
Is suspended by. chain on the back
of the neck. The low cut bodices which
show so much Of the back ars posi-
bly, responsible for this fad. It Is one
which ladies who have shapely necks
and are not averse to showing even q
great deal Of their backs are likely to
affect.

1t goes without saying that the tai
