Man in a different sphere;
Not in a tribe or clan,
Not far away, but near
Not on the battle field,
Clad in the spoils of war,
Cleaning in FURNISHED shield
Dark from the cannon's roar

a moment before getting them re-
placed, and was just about to speak

But this has nothing to do with
Estelle's adventure with the million
aire. She had always wanted to marry
millionaire. because she was fond OF
round figures. and she knew that this
young man must be millionaire. be-
cause he put a penny in a subway
slot machine and didn't cuss whom
the machine refused to work.
Your eyes are stars" said the
young man to Estelle.
This seems a foolish thing to say

and It's too dark then to see anything.

telling a girl she has seashell ears.

BUTTERFLIES
By CONSTANCE CLARKE

r TITLE girl that strayed away
While the sun shone bright,
Little girl that romped away
Hours of golden light.
Out across the daisy fields
In the drowsy noon,
Chasing butterflies all day,
Bedtime comes too soon.
Tired and weary little girl
In snowy nest,
With doll in either arm
Clasped against her breast;
Drowsy lids that futter down,
Closing out the light,
Tired of chasing butterhies
Dolls are friends at night
Little girl that wandered. ont,
Secrets to unclose,
Started with the sun adream
On bed of rose;
Out across the daisy fields,
Starred with youthful dreams,
Chasing butterflies all day
While the sunlight streams,
Little feet that wandered far,
Weary with the strife,
Tired of chasing butterflies
On the hills of life,
Wandered home again, too late,
Seeking childish joys,
Little hands that seeking found
Only broken toys

Leaving the darkness dumb.

PHILIPPINES BIGGEST BUYER.
Lead Other Countries In Purchase of
American Cotton Cloths.

Washington, Jan. 12.-For the first
time in the period, practically a year.
the Philippine Islands have become
the greatest purchaser OF American
manufactured cotton cloths. Fifteen
years ago 1t would have been difficult
to obtain enough American cloths in
the islands TO make native maiden
frock, and now the islands have be-
come the best customer the United
states has and the outlook for further
increase is considered excellent.
Reports to the insular bureau show
that for the ten months ending with
October. the Philippines purchased
from American manufacturers cotton
cloths amounting to $4,121,646, ex-
ceeding slightly the amount Of such
cloths purchased by China and doub-
ling the amount purchased by Cen
trail America. In other words, the
island purchase 70 per cent Of their
cotton cloth in the United States. The
total Philippine imports Of mer-
chandise for the ten months amount
ed to $53,5OS, 1870. of which 40 per
cent came from the United States.

SOUTH LEADS.
Now Ahead I'm the Cotton Spinning
Industry.

The census bureau report on the
supply and distribution of cotton
shows that for the first time in the
history OF the cotton spinning indus
try the amount of cotton used in
Southern mills exceeded that used in
all other States in any one year, and
that the number of active spindles
in the South has increased a half
million over the number operated last
year.
The supremacy Of the South n this
field elicits from the Wall Street
Journal this comment:
Among the many phenomena Of
the past II months which together
have made this a record year, so far
as material growth and prosperity in
the United States are concerned per-
haps the most astonishing is disclosed
in the latest report Of the census bu-
reau at Washington. According to that
report the Southern States in which
VIC Piouucllon Oh cOltCn Is the great
agricultural industry have now passed
all the other States of the Union in
the utilization Of cotton for manufac-
turing purposes"
The amount Of cotton consumed in
the United States during the year
ending August 81, 1912, was 5,367,67l
bales, and Of this amount the uuan-
tity consumed in all other States,
other than the South was 2,655,O49
bales
While the number of active spindles
in cotton producing States increased
more than 100000, in all other States
the increase aggregated less than
100000.
