WEASELS KILL GOPHERS.

One Of our farmer friends believes
that weasels are of so great benefit
as gopher killers that they should be
spared and even protected. He calls
attention to their operations at this
season of the year, which he has tax.
en- pains to observe. Gophers have
of course hibernated for the winter and
our informant has watched the wea.
sells travel along over the old gopher
paths from hole to hole, seeking the
ones which lead to the gopher nests.
What happens to Mr.. and Mrs. Go
pher when the slender little murderer
finds the RICH hole is not, difficult ia
imagine. The weasel will stand on hia
hind feet looking over to the tops Of
the grass for signs Of gopher mounds.
They are blood thirsty little fellows
and will kill anything that they dare
attack, taking grip on the throat d
their victim and sucking the blood
They, Of course, do damage in poultry
yards when they can find nothing else
but it is quite possible that our infor-
mant is correct in his conclusion that
they do more good than harm. He il
quite sure that they destroy many go
pliers and has seen them dragging
dead gophers to their own holes.

The Value of Poverty

From the Universalist Leader.
There is a very general feeling today
that the abolition of poverty will mean
the abolition of nearly If not quite ev-
cry evil: that if the burden Of poverty
be lifted from the houlders of men,
then will men straighten themselves
UP and walk in the path of righteous
ness. II is doubtful If there Is any
ground for this belief to stand upon.
Experience has not shown the redeem
ing power of money, whether it be
counted in vast sums or in a. compe-
teucy; nor has the absence of money,
even poverty been of itself fruitful
of righteousness. In fact the verdict Of
human history is that life. In its high
est and best definition. can come from
one or the other condition and is in a
large measure Independent of both.
When David Livingston erected me-
mortal stone for his beloved parents
one line of the inscription read. For
poor and pious parents When he was
asked if he did not mean poor, but
pfous parents" he said no. for he was
thankful for their poverty. He recog-
nized the real source of mis- own power.
And there win be no more important
lesson to he learned during the CEN
tennial of his birth. than his emanci-
nation of this most common condition
of the children of men from the bond.

bULL|SH INFLUENCE
IN COTTON MARKET
Flood Conditions and Ex-
pectancy of Peace Influ-
ence the Market

New York. March 26.-Reports OF con-
tinued bad weather in the south, appre-
tensions of floods in the Mississippi val
ley and expectations that the surrender
of Adrianople would be followed by peace
in the Balkans, exerted a bullish influence
on the cotton market today. and the close
was firm at a net advance of Il to 10
points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 3 to points in sympathy with
relatively steady cables There was some
irregularty right after the call as
result of realizing, but prices firmed up
eign buying and increasing complaints
of delayed farm work in the south Real
izing held the advance in check, and after
showing net gains of from 10 to 13 points
there were slight reactions, but sellers
were al no time aggressive, and the mar
ket showed increasing strength in the
later trading. Wall street and Memphis
shorts were credited with being large
buyers. and while the demand was sup
piled by profit taking on the part of the
old longs or fresh selling by local bears,
who had been waiting for rally to sell
on, closing prices were at practically the
best of the day. There was some further
selling of March against purchases of
May but the March premium was in
creased owing to further covering, and the
talk of delayed crop preparations seemed
to have as much influence on old as on
new crop months.

DEMAND FROM BOTH |
SIDES IN COTTON |
Prices Best Part of Ska Bale
Up-15 to Is Points
Gain

New Orleans, March 26.--Cotton was ac-
tive during the session today and buying
gradually increased until In the after
noon prices were the best part of a dollar
bale up. The demand came from both
sides and was met mainly by bearish
traders, who seized the opportunity to put
out fresh short lines at an advance. The
weather news was the chief influence, al
though fear was felt regarding the river
situation and some little buying was
based on the possibility of river lands in
the Mississippi valley being overflowed.
The market opened steady at gain
of to points on good cables and too
much rain in the cotton belt. Snow at
points in Texas and Oklahoma caused
alarm for young cotton in south Texas,
and the storm warning again repeated for
the Texas and Louisiana coasts added to
the uneasiness over the earliest section
of the belt. Both shorts and bulls bought
in the early trading. The market in
creased in activity as the morning pro-

LITTLE CHANGE IN
PRICES OF STOCKS
Foreign Markets z Strong
Market Here Moves in
Uncertain Way

New York, March 2s-Under the play
of opposing influences the stock market
moved in an uncertain way today, and
the session ended with prices little
changed.
Foreign markets were strong and
there was decided upward pull on this
market from abroad.
On the other hand the domestic in
huence was weakening.
The assumption that the end of the
Balkan war was near found a response
in the London market, where Ameri
cans were marked for transactions.
Although this market did not respond
fully to London, yet there was general
advance stimulated by liberal London
buying. The trade did not hold around
the opening level and selling ensued
on reports of enormous damage to prop
erty, particularly of that of the rail-
roads in the flood stricken district. The
list was forced well below yesterday s
close. In the late session, however. the
market rallied. Bonds firm.

NEARLY A CENT NET
ADVANCE IN WHEAT
Bull Leaders Effectively
Support Wheat-Corn
Also Scores Gain

Chicago, March 26.-Bul leaders sup
ported wheat SO effectively today that
they made a net advance of nearly 1c.
The close was nervous at a net uplift of
5s@s4c to 7sa1c. Corn scored net gain
of sc to 1sassc; oats, ssds4c to s4c, and
provisions a net advance of 21sd5c to 5@
71ac.
The chief reason underlying bull activ-
ity in wheat seemed to be first fears that
floods in Ohio would wash away good
part of the growing crop, and second re-
ports of export sales at Duluth to a New
York exporter in a lot of 100000 bushels
at the price for May wheat in Chicago.
The market seemed to ignore the fall of
Adrianople and copious reports of an al
most universally favorable crop outlook
Primary receipts of wheat were 100000
bushels, the same as year ago Sea-
board clearances of wheat and -four
equalled 1000 bushels.
Local spectators took advantage of the
general short selling of corn yesterday to
drain the market today, and this gave
strength to corn. Light offerings and good
demand largely from shorts gave oats
strength.
Provisions were strong and active most
of the day on good demand, but grew
easier toward the close on realizing sales.
Light run of hogs helped the early
strength.
