THE GINNERS REPORT.
In Spite OF Fact that Report Showed
Much Less Cotton than Commonly
Expected Price Wont Down.

The ginners report was issued yes
terday showing the number of bales
ginned up to November 14th The
report showed that around 100000
bales had been ginned. The lowest
estimate which had been made men
tion of prominently in the papers for
the last few days was 100000 so
the report fell far short of expecta-
tions. In spite of this the market,
after temporary rise of ten points,
fell off to about four points below
the opening. Spots brought as high
as Sis cents on the local market
yesterday.

we raised him from puppy.
We gave Queenie to some people who
live nearby so that we could see her every
day The people had chickens and she
began catching them. so the man had to
shoot her He fired once and thought she
was dead so he went in the house to get
more shot to kill her puppy with. The
puppy must have been frightened by the
noise. 1t hid away and so of course the
man had to hunt for him. But the dog
couldn't be found then aud he wasn't found
until two days later, which saved him from
being killed for few weeks.
When the man came out again Queenie
was gone. She must have been only stunned
by the blow and when the man went in the
house she broke the chain and got away.
She came running back home to us and
scratched on the door to be let in for the
last time

known that Queenie was hurt she wouldn {
have sent her away in that manner.
Queenie didn't go home. but went into the
dog house. where she and Teddy used to
spend the night together and there she
died
We miss her very much and when Ted
hears her name spoken, he pricks up his
ears and begins looking around for her,
thinking that perhaps she will come back
again some day.

Then at last she found that she was lost

II was a warm day in July and we were
to start for a pleasure trip to the noun
tains. We first went TO Denver, where we
stayed three days. Then we went to Col
orado Springs, where we stayed three
weeks
We had many fine trips in the Rockies
while there. We hired burros to ride up
the South Cheyenne canyon to the Seven
Falls. Then we climbed the long flight of
steps to the top, and walked on over the
mountains to Helen Hunts grave. We then
went back to STATIONS park, which is al
the foot OF the canyon and were ready for
a hearty lunch Later on In the afternoon
there came up heavy rain.
We went TO Manitou most every day
while there TO get some soda water to
drink. OF course we had many delightful
trips while there. One OF them was the
flower excursion. The train would stop al
different places half hour or so to let the
people get off and pick wild flowers which
were beautiful.

The Wonderful Book of Poems.

BY Helen Verrill. Queen Bee Aged Il
Years, The Strehlow, No. 10, Omaha.
Blue Side.
In a large house there lived a huckster,
a goblin, a student and the huckster's
wife Well the huckster, his wife and
the goblin all lived on the ground floor.
but the student lived all alone in the
attic. The huckster owned the house, but
the student owned nothing and was very
poor.
One day the student came down stairs
to the hucksters to buy some bread but
ter and cheese. After he had started to
the door he looked down and saw his
things were wrapped in page OF book
Of poems. When he saw that he turned
to the huckster and said; Have you the
rest of the poems?" The huckster said
Yes" and that the student could have
then, for IL pence.
But the student said: You don't know
any more about poetry than that cssk in
the corner. so take my cheese and give
me the poems 1 can eat my bread with
out any cheese"
The huckster gave him the poems and
he went upstairs to eat his bread.
When all was quiet and everyone was
asleep the goblin went and got the buck
ster's wifes jacket to keep him warm and
crept up the back stairs and peelIed
through the keyhole OF the students room
and there. behold! the room was very
light. A tree seemed TO be growing right
out Of the book and 1t branched out over
i the student who was reading, and the
tree had fresh leaves and the faces OF
pretty girls for flowers. After a while
the student turned the light out and there
arose such beautiful singing until he was
asleep.
Then the goblin crept down stairs and
decided 10 stay with the huckster all day
and over meal time for he liked the por-
ridge they gave him, and when they were
in bed to go up and stay with the student
and hear the beautiful singing.
