II DEAD HORSE.

When it comes to repartee, the follow
ing is hard to surpass, and certainly took
down a peg or two the would-be smart fell
low, who was going to perpetrate a joke on
an unsophisticated country youth:
The smart travelling man stood on a
corner in the little country village at dusk.
He was looking for amusement, and the
first object that attracted his attention was
an overgrown boy, perhaps fifteen years of
age, riding a horse that might have come
out of the ark.
Hello, sonny!!' shouted the salesman.
elbow long has that horse been dead?"
Quick as a flash the boy replied, '"Three
days, but you are the first buzzard that has
noticed it."
The travelling man moved on to the
hotel.

Men, during the entire span of history,
have fought over many subjects and for
many reasons. They have desired war, be-
cause they desired more territory or some
other country desired theirs. Nations have
gone to war, because of the love affairs of
their rulers. They have fought over relig-
ious differences and political %intrigues. They
have sunk ships and sacrificed life for COM
mercial reasons, but NEVER in all history
have men drawn the sword because of the
principles of brotherly love.

Sometimes we run across a person who al
ways has a wall because his neighbors have
plenty and he has nothing, says an exchange.
And if we could just follow them to the end of
their careers we would probably find the neigh
bors continuing in the enjoyment of plenty while
the walters drift along with his accumulation of
nothing. And then if we cared to dig Town and
exhume the cause we would doubtless find the
neighbors working and improving their oppor-
~tunities while the waller carelessly allows his to
fit by. At least that is the way it appears to us.
and it is so simple we believe it to be true.

LITTLE FAULTS THAT HINDER.


One young mans advancement has
been cut down Is per cent. by bad temper,
q surly, d~isagreeable disposition; another's
by carelessness in dress, an unkept or SLOW

tongue or an unkind habit of criticizing.
Disagreeable, hurtful and foolish hab-
its, formed, perhaps, unconsciously, often
become great barriers which keep us from
otherwise well-earned success.
1t would pay young men and women
who are age to succeed frequently to
make inventories of their success-capital, to
examine themselves carefully and impair

1886, 059, 166 LESS ON LAST YEARS
COTTON CROP.

How much the South and the cotton
growers have lost because of the European
wal and the commercial and financial dis
turbances is indicated in the report of Sec
rotary Hester, published some days ago,
that while the actualgroWth was II, O04, 600
bales, the largest ever raised in this section
and the commercial crop was Is, los, Oil
bales, the cotton returned was only $780,
1884, 78 including the seed or 1885, O59, 166
less as compared with the smaller crop of
the previous year, says the New Orleans
Times-Picayune. We have to look back
many years to the time of great depression
in the cotton business to find as unfavorable
a report as this.
The cotton question has been discussed
of late not only in the South and throughout
this country but throughout Europe as well,
and has been the basis Of many interchanges
of diplomatic notes and communications.
It's status has been under discussion in the
British press and the British Parliament;
ly establish its position more clearly and de-
termine to what extent it may be regarded
as centraband.
The war created a new demand for cot
ton in the manufacture Of gun cotton and
other high explosives which have been used
in this wal in such super-abundance. With
this new demand calling for several hundred
thousand bales of cotton for military pur-
poses alone, it would b4 imagined that the
demand for the Southern product would be
stimulated and that it would tend to keep
up price; but two things have interfered
with this-frst, the British orders in coun-
Gil which aim to prevent cotton from reach
ing Germany where it car be used for the
manufacture Of explosives; and, secondly,
the discovery that linters from the cotton
seed do almost as we'll for the making of
explosives as cotton itself.
It will, Of course, be impossible to say
to what extent the price of cotton was de-
pressed by the large crop produced and to
what extent it was affected by the war; al
though the latter is generally viewed as the
chief cause of the depression that has pre-
vailed. On one point there can be little diff
ference of opinion-that the war stimulated
the cotton industry Of the South, brought
about the increased activity of the Southern
mills and the production of a largely in
creased amount Of cotton goods. That we
have seen in New Orleans, where conditions
have given an impetus to the manufacture
Of cotton goods 1t is to be hoped that the
South will profit by this opportunity opened
to it, and retain and extend this business.

None so little enjoy life and are such bur-
dens to themselves as those who have nothing to
do. The active only have the true relish of life.
He who knows not what it is to labor, knows not
what it is to enjoy. Recreation is only valuable
as it unbends us. The idle know nothing of it.
1t is exertion that renders rest delightful and
sleep sweet and undisturbed. The happiness of
life depends on the regular prosecution of some
laudable purpose or calling which engages, helps
and cultivates all our powers.

The prevailing cause of failure in life is un-
much that people are lacking in opportunity or
ability, that they accomplish so little. either in
secular or religious affairs. A resolute purpose
is the open sesame to great achievement.
Napoleon, when confronted with the Alps, said,
There shall be no Alps" and proceeded to scale
their SUBMITS. In business life, the need of the
same strong purpose is equally great.

TO REWED HUSBAND
Woman Acquitted of Manslaughter Was
First Married in 1898 and Di-
vorced in 1911.

STAMFORD, Conn.,, Oct. IS. = That
Mrs. Helen M. Angle, who was &C
quilted in March last of causing the
death of Waldo R. Ballou, is about to
remarry her former husband, Frank W.
Angle, was admitted in Bridgeport to-
day by Mr.. Angle.
Mrs. Angle is the daughter of Leon
ard Blondel, retired business man of
Stamford. She is engaged in office
work at present in Bridgeport. During

often been in her company since. He is
employed by the Union Metallic Car

| The Angles were married in STAN
ford on Sept. q, 1898. They separated
! in October, 1902, and in February, 1911,
Mrs. Angle obtained a divorce on the
ground of desertion. Her husband did
not contest the suit.
Mrs. Angle has greatly improved in
health since her trial. She visits friends
here frequently and the knowledge of
her coming marriage is more or less
general among them, although none will
say anything definite about the date
or place. Mr.. Angle says it will take
place Saturday.
Late on the night of june %, 1914, a
policeman found Waldo r. Ballou, an
aged ex-city councilman of Stamford,
known to be sutton for the hand of
Mrs. Helen NJ. Angle, dying, his head
badly crushed, on the steps of the Rip
pOwan building, Stamford. Mrs. Angle
daughter of a retired contractor and
real estate man said to be wealthy, had
a music studio on the third floor of
the building and Ballou had been call
ing on her that night.
Following Ballou s death, which oc
: Cured about an hour after he was
found by the policeman, Mrs. Angle was
! first held as a material witness without
!, bail, released for eight days, arrested
!, again, and again released on bail un
til, on March 3, 1915, she was placed OF
trial at Bridgeport on the charge O

about an hour and a half and the
