THEIR LOVE LETTERS SACRED.
Chinese Have Religious Rite for
Burning Them.

Baltimore, Nd. Jan. 12-Baltimore
women are inclined to regard love let
ters as sacred to sentiment. 1T is not
generally known" said society leader
here that an entire nation. the Chinese,
consider them sacred"
In Baltimores Chinatown is a sacred
furnace which is utilized solely for the
purpose of burning discarded letters,
manuscript, and newspapers.
Three times every week a collector calls
at each Chinese dwelling and takes
away all cast-of literature. which has
been folded neatly and put aside in n
safe place, ending his arrival
The furnace stands before the altar of
a Joss" or god, and every day the
custodian burns the sackfuls of paper
which have been taken there.

PRETTY SOFT; PRETTY SOFT.
Nothing for This Frenchman To DO
hut Draw salary.

Paris, Jan. 1s.-The man who has the
easiest job In the United States has been
discovered. He is a Frenchman. Leclerq
de Pulligny. who Is said to have drawn
a salary Of $500 year for the last four
years without doing a stroke of work.
In 1909 de Pulligny was sent to the
United States by the French government
as "chief OF the engineers MISSION" his
duties being to aid young French en-
gineers in obtaining positions with bis
American firms, where they, might learn
American methods
So far not a single Frenchman has ap-
piled for assistance, and, according TO
the Journal La Liberte, de Pulligny' s
sole occupation has been travelling all
over America attending innumerable
conferences and banquets. The only man
in France conscious of his existence
seems to be the department treasurer,
who draws his salary check"

trouble lies in the fact that, under

SO far as to brand each Of the 9TH

THE WEEK IN THE COTTON

Even the constitutional bull must
now admit that the weather is just
about as favorable as it could be.
Consequently, the weekend combi-
nation of good weather and long Ii
quotation caused a decline.
However. low price people seem
wise enough to avoid being misled
by the easier tendency. Everybody
in the trade knows that permanent
damage has been done in the West.
and that from that section no bump
er yield is to be expected. The East
suffered from drought long time.
but in the week just closed has had
rain enough for all practical purpos-
es. For a while now. better reports
from the fields, both east and west.

dry weather in Texas, where the

would probably bring out complaints
enough to overshadow any good
news that may then be coming in

where the talent had best be ex-

Good weather throughout the re-

But since the west can quickly go all
to pieces under droughty conditions

depend too strongly on June condi-

In any event, the chances are
that every bale produced will be
