pect OF unsettled weather conditions over
the Gulf belt, the cotton market opened
firm and steady, first prices 3 to points
higher. The weather indications, how
ever, We're not well enough defined to
create any exceptional buying move
ments After the call, trading eased off
and the market became dull
Futures and spot in Liverpool were
strong
At noon the market was stll making
headway for new high levels. This rapid
advance was caused entirely by unfavora-
BILE weather conditions over the entire cot
ton belt. The ring crowd was good sell
ers to the spot houses, which were thc
principal buyers Another factor was the
heavy demand in Liverpool for spots
Reports of possible showers along the
coast caused uneasiness among the shorts,
The best buyers, however looked to be
for long accounts, coming from some of
the leading bull forces, and it is believed
that bulls win continue to buy forcing
shorts to cover
Al, the close the market was very
steady with prices II to 90 points higher

wellhoused gentleman on the pay roll
of rich American societies whom met
in these countries and who stimulate
American generosity by reports of the
deplorable condition of clergy and
people there are not likely to venture
into the perils of these forests. 1t re-
quires men of heroic self-denial, like
Padre Volk of Colon, Panama, who
spends weeks every year among the
San Bias Indians, instructing and bap-
Using them. They allow none of our
white traders, for well-knoFn reasons,
to stop overnight on their territory.
They admit only the Catholic priests,
or the heroic band of Salesian
Fathers, who are working all through
the forests of Matte Crosse, central
Brazil. These men travel on RATS,
catamarans, and cayucos, sleep under
trees, and live on the products of the
forests. Their success is wonderful.
One of them recently brought to Rio
Janeiro band of thirty educated
Mororo Indian musicians, late children
Of the forests, who delighted the peo-
pie with their skill, their speeches, and
their deep religious spirit
Protestant Efforts Futile.
Much has been advanced to show
that this proposed evangelical incur
sion into Latin America is not only
unnecessary, but would be, as the non
Catholic writer above quoted scath-
ingly describes it, an act of unmis-
taxable presumption and stupidity 1t
is comforting to reflect that if the vast
funds so coolly asked for should be
forthcoming, the movement would be
as futile as it is ridiculous. An Ameri-
can exchange thus summarizes the re-
suits of similar efforts in the past.
Millions of dollars have been spent
in South America, Mexico, Cuba, and
Protestant denominations in their eff
fort to uproot Catholicism and to plant
in it's stead the creeds of Luther, Knox,
Wesley, and other founders Dioceses
have been established, Bishops ap-
pointed, clergy, male and female, or
dained, but the deadly figures tell, new
ertheless, humiliating tale. Not one
thousand, scarcely half that number,
have been converted from Catho-
licism. And in no case can a CONVEX
sion be proved save on lines of pur-
chase-the old-time methods of 'souper-
ism,' modified by American ways and
brought up to date in their manipula-
ton. If the grand enterprise which is
being so assiduously promoted in GER
tain circles in England and America
should never materialize, it is fore
doomed to be a splendid failure"

other the slavery of the mills. And
now the unceasing chant: What
doth it profit man."
There will be no half way with
Joe; he will be very good or very
bad his mother had prophesied that
night over her sewing, and now as
she stood by the window she thought
of it again, and, unconscious as she
was of the struggle going on, she
whispered a prayer: God grant it
may be the right way!"
She waited anxiously as the mo-
ments passed What can be keeping
him?' she wondered.
At last she heard his welcome foot
steps on the stairs, and he stood be-
fore her, calm and pale as one who
had passed through terrible struggle
rs your head better, Joe?" she
asked
Eyes, thank you," he replied wear
lily.
The next morning Davis Academy
was alive with excitement George
Coulson's manuscript had been found
in the letter box outside the door of
his home when the morning mail was
taken in Of how it came there there
was not the slightest clue. All sorts
of stories spread about, but it gradu-
ally subsidized into one of the unsolved
mysteries.
Perhaps Mrs. Darcy had a slight
suspicion of the truth, but she kept
her own counsel.
And there was no half way with
Joseph Darcy. He had made his silent
remuneration, and he wasted no time
in idle regrets. In the two weeks
which interviewed before graduation a
new manhood grew up within him,
which rose superior to George Coul-
sons sneers. He put aside that won
derful dream, and with a steady pur-
as it seemed.
Graduation day came, and never
before had the hall been so crowded.
When the diplomas had been given
out Mr.. Wilson spoke of the Davis
scholarship. He said:
dAu 1A1OAuS, IL 91VC0 liz
great pleasure to announce that the
themes in the contest for the Davis
scholarship were all of excellent merit,
but the prize goes by unanimous con-
sent to Joseph Darcy
One moment of overwhelming sur
prise, and then the senior class took
possession of the hall.
Darcy! Darcy! Darcy" echoed
on every side. Cheer after cheer rang
out, the class president leading the
wild tumult Mr.. and Mrs. Darcy
stood unashamed of the tears of joy
in their eyes as Joe was carried by
