Beauty and Ideals,

Browning makes Fra Hippo Lippi say: If you get simple beauty and naught else you get about the best thing God invents, and you'll find the rest within yourself when you return him thanks" It seems to me that if we substitute for beauty, true ideals, the quotation applies most aptly to our view of the purpose of education. If you get true ideals and naught else, you get about the best thing God in- vents. Exchange.

When Napoleon Was Wounded.

Napoleon. like almost all great mili- tary leaders, was wounded in course of his military career, though once only. This was before Ratisbon, on April 8, 1909. He was struck by grape. shot ball, and received flesh wound, which disconnected him so little that he mounted his horse, wiping away the blood with handkerchief. The ball was picked up by an officer, who treasured it so highly that it passed as an heirloom to his children and grandchildren. It now rests in the Musee at Paris.

A GREAT DELUSION.

COttan exporters are impOrtunlng congress to drop from the Lever act section that imposes q prohibitiva tax on trades in catton futures made through the '1ledium Of exchanges that refuse to be governed by the rules laid down by law in this coun- try for the regulation of the future contract business. Inasmuch as said rule have not been accepted by the European exchanges American ship pers find it impossible to hedge" in the foreign markets. Tn explanation Of the demand for the elimination Of the obnoxious section the Shreveport Tf:res says:
 'It is thu custom of many American merchants to ship spot c2tton to Liv- erpool or Havre against which con- tracts are sold in either of these mar kets and the cotton tendered. An ex- porter very oftsn buys spot cotton when he has no order for it from the SplNueIS, anu uc piOt~Sto hAnSSAl o' selling an equal quantity of futures i'll the highest future market which he can find. In this way continuous demand for spot cctton is created, even at times when spinners are not buying, resulting in active competi- tion for cotton. which necessarily means better prices.
 'This season foreign future mar kets have been srmch higher than American future markets, the Liver pool market being approximately 300 points higher than the New York market and the Havre future market eco points higher, or $50 bale. Urdsr the terms of section il of the Lever bill, American exporters have been unabla to sell futures in the higher foreign markets. This has prevsnt.d them fro.ri buying spot cot ron. Foreign exports have thus been able to buy spot cotton without com retitisn. which, of course, has enabl- en them to get it at low prices, thus injuring the producer.
 "Nsarly every one in any way &C., quain,ed with the cotton business knows the value of hedge When American shippers are prevented by an excessiv, tax from operating in foreign markets, they are unable to hedge their shipnents by sales abroad. and to ship cotton in such troublesome and uncertain times with cut protection of 'hedge' entails a risk which few can afford to take. Exporting as a consequence is large l7 restricted to foreign shippers, who can hedge in their own markets without difficulty"
 While it is true that futures have been quoted as much higher prices in tn European than in the American ma. kets this season, it was in tthe main \ because of the high ratss foreign ship S-wners insisted on charging for transporting cotton from thc gulf ports to Europe. retorts the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise.

Hughes Points the Way

The speech of the Republican can
didate for President was = keynote
speech. indeed. Not one person In
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was in doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address WAS comprehensive, log
zeal, clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be no dispute
man who knows what he wants when
he wants It," and 1t is the opinion
OF political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows. also, how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the Repub-
Ncan candidate to confine the scope
of his remarks to the limitations of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis of the shortcomings Of the pres
ent administration Of the government
is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will
be when he gets ON the stump.

THE WISE DONKEY.

There was once a farmer who had q
donkey. and, like most people who own
donkeys, his master did not have a
great deal of respect for his wisdom.
One day the donkey showed him that
he knew a great deal more than be
was given credit for. At any rate, after
this occasion the farmer thought him
far wiser than a whole forest full of
owls, who have ever been regarded as
the wisest of feathered folk. But to
begin at the beginning:
The hero of this tale-the donkey
was very hungry. His master, think
ing him only a donkey, thought he did
not know the difference between eating
prickly thistles and something better.
The donkey was very tired of thistles,
and his stomach felt like the "old
scratch" because of them. He gave a
loud bray and before he got to the end
of it-not farther than b-b-r, in fact
he saw the gate into the orchard was
open. The donkey had always longed
to go into this forbidden place, but the
gate had been kept securely locked
His master could not lock the smell
of the apples and pears from reaching
the donkey's nose, though. and this
smell made the donkey long more and
more after the good things which grew
there.
The donkey could scarcely believe his
eyes or nose either, but the second
glance showed him that his eyes had
not deceived him The gate was open;
consequently the donkey was invited
into the orchard. Once inside, he lost
no time In sampling the fruit Of a fine
apple tree. You know how fond your
pet pony Is of a nice juicy apple. Well,
you can imagine how a donkey who
had been raised on thistles would re-
gard a tree full Of them. He ate and
ate until no pig would have recognized
him. Branch after branch came off the
tree in Mr.. Donkey's attempt to get the
delicious apples All went well until
his master returned When he saw
what the donkey had done, poor DON
key got the worst whipping that he had
ever received In his life. The master
almost cried, for his tree was ruined,
and the apples were the finest ones he
owned.
The year following, what was his
surprise to see that the tree he had
looked upon as ruined bore double as
many apples as any other tree In the
orchard. Besides this, the apples were
finer and larger than any he had ever
grown. He was ashamed of the way
he had treated the donkey for his part
In the scheme. He gathered a large
basket of the apples and himself car
ried it to the poor donkey. Ever after
this the farmer pruned all the trees in
the orchard, and from so stupid an an
imal as a donkey the valuable process
of pruning trees was discovered.

 It is understood the bill will go to the house with the backing of presi- dent Wilson and will be pressed for early passa ge.

CHANGES AT SOUTH CHURCH.
More Space is Gained By Moving Key
 Board-Organ OverhauIed.

Edward Linares and Raymond J. Campbell, organ experts connected with the E. M. Skinner company, or gan manufacturers of Boston, in spected the organ at the South Con- gregational church yesterday after noon. Several minor changes were made, which will clarify to a greater extent the tones of the instrument. Portions which were formerly behind blinds are now given a clear space, which will materially brighten and freshen the tones. The work of the organist is made easier by enclosing only one row of keys in a box, where there were two before. The key desk was also moved three feet further into the choir gallery which will give more space and render the volume of music compact and improve the appearance of the church.
 The main organ was built in 1896 by George $. Hutchings, the action being the invention of Ernest M Skinner, who at that time was asso-
