Tell me not in mournful numbers
life is but an empty dream, for that
man the earth encumbers who can't
see that lfe's a scream. l am tired
of folks complaining of the life we're
living here, beefing when the skies
are clear. am tired of human relics
holding up this world to scorn; / am
tired of hearing alexis wishing they
were never born. For'ths world that
we're infesting is entitled to the bun;
through the skies you might go quest
ing and not find better one. Certain
rules hold out forever in this world
were living In there's reward for
wise endeavor, there is punishment
for sin. Life has few and feeble ter.
rors If you only mind the rules;
there's the crown for righteous farers,
there's the dump for knaves and fools.
II you hear fellow kicking, saying
life is drear and sad. you may bet
he's had a licking which he needed
pretty bad. Life is bully. life is Joy.
Gus, life is smooth and recherche, and
there's nothing to annoy us If the
rules we will obey.-Walt Mason.

PRICKED LADIES' ARMS
WITH POISONED NEEDLES
GBy Associated Press.l

Newark, Dec. 6.-Armand McRea
a South American student accused oil
sticking poisoned needle into the
arm of Mrs. Marjorie Graft, at thea
tire, was confronted today by two
young women, who claim to have had
similar experiences recently at the
theatre. Jeanette Clark, aged nine
teen, was pricked while in a box. She
hurried to dressing room on the
verge of fainting. Mary Lee partly
lost consciousness when pricked. She
says two young men strangers had
started to pick her up when her sister
came to the rescue.

Our town, our county and our peo-
pie are hard hit, but there'll be no
faltering, no hating, no turning back.
Our people are not that kind. Not a
man will sulk in his tent. Every belt
will be frightened, the ranks will be
closed up and every man will move
forward firmly and resolutely to the
tasks that are before us. Let us stand
firmly together in the great work.

Bringing the marooned people out
TO high ground is not the end of the
rescue work. Hundreds of houses
have been washed away in this sec,
ton of the river bottom and these
people will have no home to return to
after the water subsidies. They must
be given shelter and fed until the
planters can build houses to take the
places of those washed away When
this is done they can go back into the
bottom, but until that time let us do
everything that is necessary to be
done under the circumstances.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. November 29.-The cotton
market was quiet today. but prices ruled
generally steady on covering and scat
tering buying with the close firm at a
net advance of to points.
The opening was steady at a decline
OF l to points in response to lower
cables. but prices quickly rallied on de-
malls of yesterdays late rumors that
partial returns to one OF the southern
statistical bureaus indicated a ginning of
II 100000 bales to December L. Some
scattered buying also seemed to be en-
couraged by expectations that the annual
crop estimate Of a New Orleans author
ity to be issued Monday would make a
bullish showing, while bullishly disposed
traders appeared TO be somewhat i'm
pressed by reports of an increase in the
amount of cotton on shipboard awaiting
clearance as compared both with last
year and two years ago. The demand
was not aggressive or general, but proved
sufficient to send the active months about
. to 8 points net higher. Closing prices
wene within point or two of the best
on January and later conditions. Mem
beers of the New York Cotton Exchange

uled for publication at = pm. December

the harvest there, had a bearish effect
today on the price of wheat. The mar

and oats off Ia to Il. In provisions the
outcome varied from 712a1O decline to )
advance.
wheat deliveries here Monday will be
light, many small holders appeared anx-
ious to unload. Incentive for doing so
was found not only in the improved har-
ports that the new Australian crop was
being freely offered in Europe. Besides,
continued moisture over the winter crop
beit In the United States was regarded
az highly favorable to growth.
Despite huge shipments from Lake Su-
perior the stocks at western terminal
ports were said to be of unusual bulk
for time so near the close of naviga-
ton.
In this connection a good deal of inter
est was taken in the fact that one of
the largest grain companies here con-
trmed having leased the railroad ele-
vators at Depot Harbor. Ont The lease
was said to Dc the first step toward in
vasion of Canadian markets on an ex-
tensiye scale by American grain interests.
Corn suffered from a selling drive by
alert bears Selling on the circumstance
that a few of the larger longs were
trying TO let go of lines which had grown
burdensome. All Of an early advance
from unsettled weather was wiped out and
there was decided further break. Signs

bulls.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, November 29-The
cotton market was dull, but held steady
today. At times there was a moderate
! amount of fresh long buying. but the de-
mand was chiefly from shorts who want
ed to cover over the week end. Price
changes were narrow.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were points down to points
up. Cables were lower than due on fu-
lures and disappointing on spots, but no
attention was paid to them. Brokers
had good volume of buying orders to
fill from shorts. The weather took a
turn for the worse and increased the dis
position to buy. The market was held
down for a time by profit taking on the
part of scalping longs, but the sag was
only momentary. Late in the morning
the trading months were to points
over yesterdays last quotations and the
close was steady at a net gain Of 2 to 6
