enormous affair of iron and handed Il
snlingly to David's sponsor.
"And now for n Hoosier dinner"
said O'Bannon, and he produced a
Spanish dollar, which the tavern
keeper took with a nod. He waved
David TO the long table. The rude
dishes we're heaped with roast chicken
and wild duck. There were baked
buffalo fish and cOrnbread. and there
were pitchers of milk. AT O'Bannon's
word Il bottle of Madeira was added.
When David had finished he rose to
Colonel Posey walked with them to the
door and laid his hand upon Mr..
O'Bunnon's shoulder.
~And now, Mr.. O'Bannon," he said
aTcctionately, Il must tell you goodby,

Yes" said the little old gentleman.
"YOu leave at dawn tomorrow, don't
ye? GOOdby and God bless you, my
friend
"Goodby, and good fortune"
As the departing guests went out
they turned and looked back. The tall,
]solGicrIy man-one day to become gov
ernor of the young Indiana territory
was still framed in the cool shadow
of the doorway. He waved n courtly
hand-they waved gayly in return.
Little old Mr.. O'Bannon hoped smil-
ingly to where the horses we're teth-
cred, not seeming to notice that Toi-
nette had fallen a step behind and was
walking at David's side.
OBannon and Toinette mounted
their horses, David lending a rather
clumsy hand to the girls assistance.
He had always been afraid of girls,
even ordinary ones, and Toinette
OBannon, as a glance told. was not
ordinary. David knew that there
were men who would do small services
for ladies' with gallant grace, but, he
reflected bitterly, they we're not men
who had been humble weavers, who
had hungered for bread, been ar
raigned for rioting and seen their fa-
Tiers hanged.
And so they three went along the
mile Of trace that led to Corydon, Da-
striding by the side of the horse
that bore Toinette, full of II thousand
fpeculations as TO the mysterious will

fortune had plunged him. Seemingly

From the door Of the inn David
watched his quaint figure and that of
his daughter till they disappeared
from view. A negro boy carrying pals
of water came up to the tavern door.
David could not resist asking him
the meaning of a word he had heard
for the first time that day:
boy, what is a 'Hoosier?'"
The darky set down his pals and
scratched his head in an attempt to
answer with exactness.

COTTON PRICES DECLINE
ON BETTER WEATHER NEWS
Offerings Are Heavy After Report That
Storm Is Diminishing

NEW YORK. July G.-Business was
quiet at the opening of the Cotton EX-
change this morning, but the tone was
steady. August went down points, with
other months 1 TO points higher. Liver
pool was n moderate buyer and commission
houses sold. Professional operators were
on both sides.
After the call the supply increased and
the active options dropped to points be-
fore the end of the first 10 minutes of trad
ing
Some heavy rains we're reported from
virtually all stations in the cotton belt. No
advces were received from the tropical
storm section, which was centred around
Vlcksburg early this morning with a low
barometer of 29.55.
In the early afternoon the market had
no fresh features. Reports of damage by
storm in Mississippi prompted little local
covering, which rallied prices to about the
basis of 13.24c. for January. Increased
offerings from wall street interests checked
the recovery, however. and later in the ses-
sion price movements were narrow.
Arrivals OF cotton in New York today
were 2472 bales, including 594 bales linters.
Exports today were 1850 bales, compared
with 1886 bales last year.
The eastern belt forecast suggesting
nothing more than showers in Georgia and
Mississippi and later advlces from Washing
ton reporting that the storm was diminish
ing in intensity were followed by increased
offerings toward the middle of the morning.
This selling doubtless reflected n more
optimistic view of the weather outlook,
while demapd was limited and prices
worked off to n net loss of 10 to II points

MONEY PLENTIFUL;
STOCK BUOYANCY
PUZZLES MANY
Prophecies of Prolonged War
Belied-German Chancel-
lor a Peace Factor
PARIS PLANS ATTACKED
Free Traders Issue Manifesto
Against Tendency to Economic
War on Central Empires
By FRANCIS w. H1RsT

SDCCtdl tuOto TO INC EbCWiVD iftubtTs
LONDON, July 6.--Today money is plen
tiful and the discount market weak. The
all-around buoyancy of the stock market
puzzles those fnanciers who believe the war
will be prolonged. Evidently much depends
on Paris, the military and financial judg-
ment of which counts heavily.
Interest is developing in the political posi-
tion of the German Chancellor. The recent
speech of NJ. Sazonoff Russian Minister Of
Foreign Affairs recognizes Holweg as
peace factor. He rests now on the support
of the Clerical centre and the Socialists. The
Reichstag by the election, therefore has
strengthened his efforts to guide German
policy into a peace channel
The military situation on all fronts is too
obscure for dogmatism.
Today some 20 leading Free Traders,
free from official ties or aspirations are
issuing a manifesto against the dangerous
tendency of the Paris economic resolutions,
which soon will be discussed In Parlla-
ment. Viscount Bryce, Earl Brassey, Earl
Beuchamp. Noel Farrer, Secretary of the
Chamber of Shipping Sir John Simon, John
Burns, Thomas Burt, Richard Holt, Hugh
Bell and many other notable names are at
tached to the memorandum issued, which
dwels on the political corruption of the tariff,
the Importance of neutral opinion, the folly
of any policy calculated to infiame inter-
national feeling after peace and the danger
In closing trade avenues to Germany, and
so forcing q continuance of mlltarism
1t is also argued that, thanks to its free
trade policy, Britain Is now financially
stronger than any beligerent country which
has enjoyed the supposed advantage of a
protective tariff.
Colonial preference is held to be as inn
practicable as ever. because no tariff would
suit all colonies and all now benefit by our
great free market. Similar considerations
apply to France and Italy.
Returning to finances, the stock markets
condition fully justifes the removal of mini
mum prices, No great liquidation has
sued. The chief activity so far has been
in India government, Irish land and London
county stocks. Most home and municipal
securities are on n Az to per cent. in
come basis, as compared with az just be-
fore the war. But one-quarter of the inter-
est is now sliced off for income tax. Irish
land stocks have fallen slightly more than
consols.
