Children Saw Assailant.

HUrrying home and emptying his
bucket. kidwell and a little companion
started in the direction of Mount Vernon
avenue. intending to stop where Mrs.
Hoffman, was gathering berries. They
heard her screams and got close enough
TO see the assaflant. They saw him when
he went off in the direction of Mount
Vernon avenue, after Mrs. Fought had
frightened him away. Mrs. Fought heard
her sisters screams from across the
meadow.
Calling across the opening to the
Kidwell home, Mrs. Fought left the
house and ran in the direction Of her
sister. The negro then had her sister
down on the ground and the two Xere
engaged in struggle. When Mrs.
Fought approached the scene of the
struggle and saw the negro get up she
thought at first it was a dog.
Mrs. Fought said that some children
in the direction of Hume School heard
the cries and told a neighbor.

An unanswerabIe Argument.

The poor relation had not been In
vited to the formal function at the
great house, but he went to the door 10
spite of that oversight.
"Where's your cardT inquired the
first gentleman in waiting.
Haven't got any" responded the
poor relation meekly.
Nobody can get in without card"
We'll, I'm nobody" murmured the
poor relation. but the first gentleman
in waiting could not grasp the delicate
humor of it. and the poor relation was
turned away.-Lippincott's.

Stump Breaks
Mans Leg

John Hopkins was brought in
from Point Ward constructor
camp last SATURDAY. suffering a
broken leg caused by the fall of a
monster stump which was blastt d
out to make room for the new can
merry building, But Tor the fact
that the jack that Hopkins was
working with fell down beside the
leg and preventing the full force OF
the stump bearing upon the leg,
The blow probably would have am
putated or made necessary the an
outation of the leg,
Hopkins was grought to Wran
CELL for aurgical aid and at present
the break is mending nicely.

see that men wear combs 10 their hair
much more than women do. A Cinga

allowed TO wear the circular comb.

"Ht NGER FOR TIE RAW"

In the February number of Every body's Magazine, Harris Dickson has an interesting and instructive article, entitled Hunger for the Raw. being a story descriptive of the efforts the Lancashire spinners are making to secure a supply of raw cottsn sufficient to keep thelr countless spindles going and not to be altogether dependent upon the cotton belt of the nited States for their supply of the 9eeey staple. The article tells in interes- ting words the story of the English mans search for places within the limits of his famous far flung battle line, where cotton can be raised in suilicientqaantity and cheapiy enough to compete with the southern pro- duct The article tells of the expert ments made in India. in Egypt. in Africa and in Australia. and ais5 points out that the demand for and consumption of cotton goods has steadily kept pace with the growing acreage and production. IL also points out and calls attention to tue fact that the heaviest users sof cotton goods
 the countries of the far east. China. Japan and India, while they have
 been fairly successful in raising a limited amount of the staple practi- cally consume all they can produce. and that from them continually arises d demand for more cotton. Taken all in all the article holds out, in our opinion. bright hopes for the future of tAe cotton growers of this country, and with the improved methods If farming and the gradual adoption of scientific methods making two stalks grow where one grew before.
 together with a diversifcation of crops, will make this country what it
 was intended 10 be ny the God of Nature. the garden spot of the earth.
