FELT UNCLE WAS HORRID
Only Her Third Engagement In q Few
Months and His Cong ratulatisns
Hint at Fickleness.

A certain charming young thing OF
lhis town has an uncle of whom she
has always been, and still is, very
fond; but just at present she is con
vinced that he is as catty as any WON
an she's ever known.
She tells the story herself:
Listen. You know l have always
had an excessive affection for Uncle
Dick, and have without exception told
him everything--absolutely every
thing.
Nov, the fact that l have had SC
much trouble with-well, you know
with whom-has never been Joke to
me. Last year, when that affair with
Tom was on, wrote, of course, to
Uncle Dick about it-Uncle was then
in the West. Now, since he always
liked Tom. he wrote me a beautiful
letter, offering me all manner of felici
tations and wishes for a bright and
prosperous future. treasured that
letter from Uncle Dick.
Nov. 1t isn't necessary for me to
refer to my disappointment in Tom
his behavior justified any action on my
part. l know that people say I threw
him over and all that sort of thing
but, honestly, there was only one thing
to do, and Of course did it.
"Well. suppose it did seem a little
startling to Uncle Dick, when little
over two months after the writing of
his first letter, he received another
from me, telling him of my engage
ment to Harry. But uncle was terribly
nice about it. He approved Of my
course in the matter, even though he
did prefer Tom to anybody else. And
l couldn't complain of the letter uncle
sent me in reply to the second. II
was just as nice as his first, although
he did give hint of surprise.
1T was afterward that Uncle Dick
showed himself most Objectionable
Two weeks ago, when l found that
after all was said and done, 1t wal
really Clarence that l loved, I got a
third letter from Uncle Dick-the
brute! After acknowledging the re.
ceipt of my announcement he went on
to say:

SO much and not be able to speak it.
And he felt that he might be equal
to some wild deed, such as crossing
the room violently, putting his hand
over her slender one and saying:
Il am soldier; have nothing but a
soldiers life. l am going to Africa
tomorrow. Come with me; ] want you.

All of which, slightly impossible and
quite out of the question. nevertheless
charmed and soothed him. The words
of her English song. almost barbaric
to him because incomprehensible, fell
on his ears. Its melody was already
part of him.

d'Esclignac, you are going away to.

Chinese Currencv.

Currency in China has had all sorts
Of surprises for the layman, but the
present situation is simply extraor-
binary. There Is now found to be an
actual plethora Of dollars and small
coins. and since last August the Chi
nese have been melting them and con.
verting them into sycee. The reason
why dollars are being melted is that
large issues of the provincial mints
have found no use in the market, and
as ali Chinese accounts are in taels
the present price of the dollar IL not
very conducive to its existence and
circulation.

waring, Oliver Manwaring. Jr., and
James Rogers, Jr., to grant liberty to
them, or the major part of them, to
set up gristmill upon the falls of
Jordan brook, where it falleth into the
cove"
AS the result Of that vote the old
Jordan mill was built in 1712 and the
business that the town mill did not
look after went out to what is now a
part of the town of Waterford. That
mill ground corn for many years. but
about a decade ago it burned down,
and has since been replaced by mod.
ern structure, while the original town
mill is still doing business at the old
stand.
Old Merged Into the New.
While New London's ancient relic is
on the site of the original mill and the
building still maintains the same
shape as that which was first erected
there, it Is doubtful II there is more
than one of the first timbers still re.
naming.
The big overshot waterwheel on the
mill looks as though it had been there
for good many years, and it is not
unlikely that some of the visitors i'm
agine that 1t is the original one that
was installed in Winthrop's time. AS
a matter of fact 1t takes about twenty
years to wear out wheel of that sort,
and it is by no means an easy matter
to replace one when 1t is gone. About
ten years ago the present one was
built, and the man who was in charge
Of the building had some difficulty find-
ing millwright who would take the
job of constructing the wheel. Finally
one who worked on the old wheel a
score Of years previous took the Job,
but only on condition that it be by day
work. 1t cost the city about $1,000 to
replace the wheel, and ten years hence
it is quite likely that 1t will be even
more difficult to have a job of that sort
done.
The relic is not maintained. for the
sake of making money, and public SEN
timent would be very much offended II
any change should be made that would
put a stop to the operations Of the huge
wheel.

the recently published Views OF an

New Orleans Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.1-While
cotton opened and closed at a decline
today. prices made no great loss. The
close was 6 to 8 points down. There
was an undercurrent of buying which
kept the market from breaking.
The initial loss was caused by poor
cables while In the afternoon the mar
ket was attacked after IL was report
ed that England was considering
measures aimed at Germany's COM
merce. which probably would inter
fere with exports OF cotton from the
United States.
The one bullish feature of impor-
tance was the report from Savannah
that 81 boats were booking cotton foI
clearance from that port. Local bulls
estimated that this meant exports oi
aborS 400, 600 bales from that port In
the next few weeks.
Spot cotton easy, anchaged. Sales
on the spot 2,o00; to arrive 1.ne5.
Cotton futures closed:
