FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed ~ people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat Of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was a regular modern rifed
gun, and fired sh~eils--also homemade
on each of which was stamped,
with compliments Of C. J. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves we're not
without a sense Of humor. During
Christmas, 1899, they were b~esieging
Ladysmith, and on Christmas eve they
fired ten plugged shells into the town,
each with a piece OF plum pudding In
side, and each bearing the words,
with the seasons compliments"
Two OF the shells we're found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes. they were home
made, having been cast in a foundry
at johannesburg.

WOMEN BOOST COTTON GOODS
Merchants Of Cities Join Movement
to PopuIarize Wearing Of Cotton
Made Garments.

The wearing Of more cotton-made
apparel is a movement that was start
ed by the southern women In Wash
ington, and which has been taken up
enthusiastically by the women In all
sections of the country. Hand in hand
with this movement was n insti-
gated by the ~dry-goods merchants in
all of the large cities and in a great
number OF the smaller cities to popu-
larize the wearing Of cotton-made
garments.
A cotton styles show was recently
held in Washington. The gowns dis
played at this show, held in one of
the hotels in Washington, will be worn
by the official women of that city at
a cotton ball to be held during Deem
Der. Westinghouse thronged the
styles show and gazed in wonder at
the many dainty creations made ex-
clusively from cotton materials by the
modistes. In other cities cotton balls
have been the leading social func-
tons, and the ~popularizing of cotton
made garments has become a national
movement.
The department stores in the large
cities joined heartily in the movement.
Some of the stores set aside a week
when special sales of cotton goods
and cotton-made garments were held.
Much space was used in their show
windows for the display of the great
variety Of garments made from cotton
goods. Though general In character,
both OF these movements have had a
wholesome effect in stimulating the
demand for cotton-mado Goods which,
Of course, will mea, .ne consultation
of thousands Of aiui'iohai paies by
American mills.
In New York City the feuera,Aon OF
Women's clubs witt a membership
Of about 100. 900 have 'aten up the
movement to encoura5re buying more
cotton goods and the wearing of more
garments made from cotton cloth. The
officers of this organization have sent
an urgent appeal to the members ask
ing them to aid their southern sisters
by using cotton goods whenever pos
sible.
The American Association OF Cottor
Manufacturers have been awake to the
opportunities which the inability o.
the European countries to use Ameri
can cotton has afforded them, and are
making preparations for a greater out
put Of cotton cloth than has ever beef
produced by American mills. During {
recent meeting Of the national asso
citation at Lenox, Mass, the question
of the manufacture Of more cottor
cloth and the providing Of markets
I for their output was taken into con
sideratiOn.

is receiving universal attention at the
present time. It has received the in
dorsement OF President Wilson. Secre-

ed, for Elsie Winton was fine cook,
and could MAKE two pounds of butter
where nobody else could make more
than one pound and a pint of butter
milk. But it's about Molly Bowen I
meant to be telling you-her that had
the affair with Ed Green.
"As / was saying, Molly drove the
cart, and pretty soon folks began to
notice that she wasn't as punctuaI as
usual And as for Ed, whenever the
boarders hoWled for him to make a
kick about the Victuals, he wasn't
anyWheres in sight. The fact is, he
had got into the habit of strolling
cut into the country about the time
when Molly and the cart were due,
and\ Molly, being only twenty-fouT,
had a soft spot in her heart which
wasn't proof against the rules and
regulations Of the society.
81 don't know how Elsie Winton
heard about it, but she went right up
in the air. Elsie was foTty-three, and
her hopes had soured from being kept
too long. So there was a terrible
rumpus up at the institution, and they
talked of expelling Molly; but finally
it simmered down and Elsie drove the
cart herself after that.
Nov you can't fight against hui
man nature, as you may have ObserV-
ed, and pretty soon folks began to
understand what was happening. FL
sic Wint0n started on her rounds at
seven in the morning, as regular as
clockwork, and she didn't get back
before ten. And about a week after
she had begun to drive the cart we be-
gan to notice that all the young fell
lows in the village had got the early
rising habit. Ed Green, in particular,
who never used to wake up until he
smeled the bacon frying, got up as
regular as the sun and started taking
a country walk before breakfast. Jim

etry, and he said he had to be up,
to salute the sun.
However, the folks around here,
who, as you may have observed, are
snoopy, couldn't help noticing that
they all used to take the road past
here that leads up toward the institu-
ton. And we guessed that some day
or other Elsie Winton would come
home unexpected and raise Cain, She
is a powerful woman, with her tongue,
as you may have noticed.
I'VE got so interested that nobody
thought very much about anything
else. Bill Wise, who farms on the
ridge, told us he used to see the young
fellows gossiping with the girls over
the fence that had been put up. It
wasn't much of a fence, being COM
posed of arbor vitae, which takes
more than six weeks to amount to
anything, And guess the boys
weren't slow.
"WeI, to get on, at last the hare-up
came, and in just the way we had
looked for. Elsie Winton came back
one morning at half-past nine, and
there were Ike and Ed and jim hob
nobbing with Winnie and Jenny and
Molly over the arbor vitae. And two
or three more of the young fellows
with the girls, too.
And Molly, being a woman, saw
that it was best to get her tongue in
first.
We're done with your old society,
Miss Winton, she said. Ed and are
going to be married on the first of the
month,
And Jim and on the fifteenth,
