DISCUSSING THE MINIS7 Ek.
The Quaint Comedy That Wac Enact cd by. "lan MaeIarsn."

The Quaint Comedy That Was Enact d by Han MaeIarsn."
 Rev. John Watson, better known to the world as Ian Maclaren, the author of Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush," was a fascinating talker, says MT. William H. Rideing in "Many Celebrities and Few Others" In the quietest way he dramatized any tri1ing incident that amused him.
 Once I was lunching with him at his house in Liverpool. He was about to resign from the Sefton Park church, and he speculated as to how he might be estimated after his departure. In an instant, as he talked, the table and those round it vanished, and we were listening to two elders with whispering voices discussing a retiring minister.
 "A good man, verra good man" one of them was saying.
 "Aye, he was that. There'll be nobody to deny it. But Aw'm think ing-weel, no, I'll no say it.
 "Aw'm thinking the same maseH. Was he no bit off in his sermons lately, did ye say?"
 "Weel, perhaps" "And no SO keen as he used to be-"
 'Puir manw
 "Aye, he did his best, nae doot."
 "Ye minded him in the Sabbath school? Strange, vera strange, hoo the attendance dropped. I can na account for it. What'n you be thinking?"
 '1've heard creeticism, aye, severe creeticism, no that agree with it or disagree with it. Mackenzie was telling me we'll be lucky to be rid of him, and Campbell opines that he was running the kirk"
 "Aye, and Ferguson was saying but I'll no speak ill of him. "Puir manw
 ''Aw'm thinking it's for the best he will be going" "Maybe. The new mans fine another John Knox, Mackenzie was saying"
 One could hear their undertones as they damned with faint praise and condemned by innuendo. One saw them in their decent blacks, askance, timorous, insinuating. Wat sons features hardly moved, nor had he recourse to gestures. He did not act the little scene, but seemed to visualize it to us almost by hypnotic suggestion.

Depth of His love.

"How long would you be willing to wait for me?" she asked in tones SO low he could scarcely catch the words. And then she went on: '.'You know, George, my father has recently invested in silver mine, and he is going there at once, end l cannot leave mother alone. So l ask you. again, George, how long would you be willing to wait for me"
 'sWait for you, my darling?" re- peated George, for this was no fleet ing love. t'I will wait for you until we learn how the silver mine turns out. ."-Newark Star.

 Need Roads.
 This country needs wagon roads and trails more than any thing else, trails into the more remote sections so that the pi- oneer can prospect and roads in- to the. mining sections where the development work demonstrates the value and the justification therefor, but the greatest need of the country as far as l can see it after my short visit is an automobile road from the coast to. the interior connecting the Pacific Ocean with the interior waterways, and I belive that with the remarkable run made by Robert Sheldon, the pathfinder in the Ford automobile, who reached this town Saturday, the federal authorities will wake up and appropriate enough money to allow tue road commission to build permanent automobile road from Valdez to Fairbanks connecting, the Pacific and the Panama.

Grant. Sense of Humer.

General Grant had keen sense .of humor and often expressed it effectively. He once said of his standing at West Point that his only chance of getting anywhere near the head of his class was to turn the class wrong end foremost.
 Another remark that is credited to him concerned his lack of musical talent. He said that he never could whistle more than two tunes, that one was "Yankee Doodle" and the other was not, and that he was never sure which tune hs was whis- tling.-Youtht Companion.

TRANSPORT GOING
AFTER AMERICANS
Transport BufOrd viii Take
Americans from Mexico

San Francisco, Sept. S.-The army
transport Buford Will sail late today
to gather up Americans in peril on
the west coast of Mexico. The vessel
will be in charge of Charles Jenkin-
son, special representative of the
state department.
The Buford will fly the Red Cross
flag, as it is believed that the ship
be be better able to perform its
relief work under that banner, owing
to the present temper of Mexicans,
than under the United States flag.
The Buford, it is thought, will
bring back between 500 and LOCO
Americans, and probably a second
trip will have to be made to accom-
modate all who wish to get away.
Jenkinson arrived from Washing
ton Friday, and has been busy load
ing the Buford with medicine and
stores and arranging for the en-
barking Of hospital men and nurs =
and soldier guards.

MARKET ADVANCES
STEADILY AGAIN

New York, Sept. S.-Reports from
Washington that if passed the cotton
tax bill would not affect the present
crop, seemed chiefly responsible for
sensational buying in the cotton mar
ket. Opening was steady at 33 to Al
points up.
Bulls who had liquidated last week
seemed to be re-buying, encouraged by
Liverpool cables and bullish crop az
counts from Arkansas. The census
figures showing 794,OO6 bales ginnad
to September /, broke all records, bur
the report had no immediate influence
on prices. Realizing caused irreg-
ularity right after the call but prices
held 80 to S5 points net higher.
The market was very much unset
tied later in the morning, The detail
ed weather reports showing that show
ers had been quite general in tn
southwest over Sunday, promote
more or less realizing, while there
was also a rumor that an effort was
being made in the senate to kill tn
to the futures bill, post
poning its effect until next Septem-
Der Active months were still about
80 to SO points net higher at midday.
Estimated receipts today $4,000
bales.
Denials of the rumors that the SEN
ate might yet make the cotton tax
bill Immediately operative were fol-
lowed by another strong upturn in
the cotton market during the early
and active months sold -
to "a points net higher. Realizing
the advance around this level
and slight reactions occurred from the
best, but there was a good demand
on all set-backs.

friends of the Little Wonder" the
Idaho National Harvester. There were
some nineteen present, including the

machinery Is used, among the num-
Der being Mrs. Huff, of the westside,
who owns and manages a 800 acre
ty. and is making it pay.
The harvester company will this
year either put on the old machines
all the new Improvements that have
been made since the first machines
were manufactured, or will exchange
a new machine for the old one Just
as they have in the past promised to
do. Those who participated In the
