STRAY SONG AND STORY.

Bluebirds In Autumn.
The morning was gray and cloudy,
And over the fading land
Autumn was casting the withered
leaves
Abroad with lavish hand.
Sad lay the tany pastures.
Where the grass was brown and
dry;
And the far.off hills we're blurred
with mist,
Under the somber sky.
The frost already had fallen,
No bird seemed left to sing;
And sighed TO think Of the tempests
Between us and the spring.
But the woodbine yet was scarlet,
Where II found a place 20 cling;
And the old dead weeping willow
Was draped like a splendid king.
Suddenly out OF the heavens,
Like Sapphire sparks of light,
A flock of bluebirds swept and lit
In the woodbine garlands bright.
The tree was alive in a moment
With motion, color and song;
How gorgeous the fash Of their azure
wings,
The blood-red leaves among.
Beautiful, brilliant creatures!
What sudden delight they brought
Into the pallid morning,
Rebuking my dreary thought!
Only a few hours longer
And they would have flown, to find
The wonderful vanished summer,
Leaving darkness and cold behind
Oh. TO flee from the bitter weather.
The winters buffe;s and shocks
To borrow their strong, light pinions
And follow their shining hocks!
While they sought for the purple Der
ries.
So eager and bright and glad,
! watched them dreaming of April,
Z Ashamed to have been so sad.
And | thought, Though | cannot fol
/ low them,
can patiently endure,
And make the best of the snow
storms
And that is something more.
And when ! see them returning,
All heaven to earth will bring;
And my Joy will be the deeper,
For ! shall have earned the spring

COTTON AND EXCHANGES.

The Galyeston.Dall News, which
ran for many weeks the slogan, Sell
a little cotton and hold little more"
now urges the farmers not TO sell a
pound for less than SC. II urges this
as a means to whip the cotton gam
blers into line and force them TO pay
a legitimate price for cotton. The
News has been the strongest influence
IN Texas favoring dealing in cotton
futures as a help TO boost the price
Bryan Eagle.
The News has not urged all farmers
TO refuse to sell cotton at less than
Sc. II has urged those who were in
a position to hold all or portions Of
their crops 10 do so. Certainly to
hurry TO market the South's entire
outturn would be to plunge the price
down TO a pitiful level. Only by slow
marketing, carried forward through
all the winter and spring months, can
the owners OF the cotton secure any
thing like Sc a pound for the 1914 pro
duction. And they cannot secure such
a price even by that means unless II
shall appear certain that the 1915 crop
is to be much reduced. Furthermore,
the News sincerely believes the cotton
exchanges have an office useful to the
cotton grower. The News has seen
the price OF cotton stand above 12c
for long period. while the exchanges
were active. II has seen II stand at
&c and &c under similar conditions
Recently it saw the exchanges closed
and no tangible basis for cotton
prices: saw them open again and the
price decline. only TO rise again. The
cotton exchanges certainly offer a
speculative market, and the specula
tive market is in some sense a market
which completes with the spinners'
market Under the Smith-Lever law
futures selling is limited. This must
prove a check to the bears. but
whether It will yield corresponding
benefit to the bulls is problematical
for there must be both bears and bulls
II there is to be a speculative market
Much the most important phase of tn,
situation is the holding phase. Tt
glut the markets now would be fatal
The supply must not swamp the de
