The touch of sympathy was too
much for the lonely girl. and dropping
her head upon Mrs. Halloran's

woman soothed, "have your cry out.
What's distressin' you,, anyway"
Suddenly. ashamed OF her weak

The condition of the cotton crop is estimated to be 77.5 per cent of #nor- nal compared with 80 per cent.Ea year ago, 74.3 per cent. two years ago and a ten year average of 79.8 per cent. Domestic consumption of cotton in
 May amounted to. 575, thousand bales compared with 494 thousand bales in May, 1915. Cotton exports in May were 5O7 thousand bales compared with 615 thousand bales in May of last year, and imports totaled 8 thou sand bales compared with 46 thousand bales Q. year ago. Stocks or cotton in consuming establishments on May 31 totaled 1,97S thousand bales com pared with 1,799 thousand bales on May 31, 1915, and stocks in public storage and at compresses were 2,15o thousand bales compared with 2,44O thousand bales a year ago. There were 32,205 thousand spindles active during May compared with 31,107 thousand in May of last year.
 The prospect on June l is for a winter wheat crop of 469 million bushels compared with 655 million bushels last year and a five year ave- rage of 495 million bushels. The condition of the spring wheat crop in dicates a yield of 246 million bushels compared with 357 million bushels a year ago and a five year average of 233 million bushels, making the total prospective wheat production 715 mill lion bushels compared with 1,012 million bushels last year, and a five year average of 72S million bushels The prospect is for, an oats crop of 1,255 million bushels compared with 1s540 million bushels last year. and 8 five year average of 1,158 million bushels. The prospect is for a rye crop of A million bushels compared with 49 million, bushels last year and a five year average of 3S million bush els. Condition of the apple crop indicates a yield of 72 million barrels compared with TT million barrels last year and 66 million barrels two years ago. The average condition of all crops, including fruits and vegetables on June 1 was 98 per cent. of the ten year average compared with 102 per cent. on June 1, 1915.
 The average of prices to producers of the principal crops on June 1 was 1 per cent. lower than a year ago, 5 per cent. higher than two years ago, and 4 per cent. higher than the June 1st average of the past eight years On May Is the average of prices to producers for meat animals was IT per cent. higher than a year ago, g per cent. higher than two. years ago, and 8 per cent. higher than the ave- rage of the past six years on that date.
 Quite a number of the above figures show new high records for any month, but they should not be taken as indi- cations of new activity. Slight price recessions have induced the placing of some business and projects under wa have required additional purchas- 6Es for their completion.
 In general, in spite of the usual po- 1itical upheaval of a Presidential year and in spite of the climax in our Mex ican difficulties, business must be con sidered as quite satisfactory. Big industries generally are booked up to capacity with orders and a continua- tion of recent sales records is not nec- essary to their prosperity. Wage in- creases and the declaration of extra or unusual dividends continue with increasing frequency.

In his biography of Alexandra Du-

avarice, was once waiting in line for
his cloak at a soiree when he saw a
millionaire give tip of so confines 40
cents to the servant who handed out
his paletOt. Dumas, getting his cloak,
threw down a 100 franc note. "Par-
don, sir; you have made a mistake,

turn the note. mo, no, friend" an

John Adams Was Poor Loser.

John Adams, second president Of the
United States, was not good loser.
He wanted another term and worked
hard for it. None of the candidates
received majority of the electoral
votes. and the election was thrown into
the house Of representatives But Ad-
ans had no chance there, for he was
third in the race, and only the two
having the highest number of electoral
votes could be voted for Thus the
choice lay between Jefferson and Burr,
and jefferson won. Adams was very
much disgruntled and did everything
in his power to make things unpleas-
ant for his successor. He filed every
vacant Office he could lay his hands on,
so as to leave as little patronage as
possible for jefferson. Not only so.
but in the closing hours of his admin
istration he and his party associates
created twenty-three new judgeships,
for which there was no necessity, and
worked till the stroke of midnight on
March 3 filing out and signing COM
missions for these midnight judges, y
as they were called.-ArgOnaut.

Real Heroism.

A story came from Switzerland some
years ago of a mountain guide whose
name was not preserved. He, with
two others, was leading a party over
one OF the most precipitous passes of
the higher Alps. The men, as is usual,
were tied to each other by long rope.
AS they scaled the wall of ice they
slipped on the edge of a frightful
chasm. This man was at the end of
the rope. Without his weight there
was a chance for the others to regain
their footing: with it there was none.
He cast a glance down at the dark
abyss, filed with fathomless SHOWS,
then drew his knife from his belt, say
ing quietly to the man next him:
"Tell mother how it was, jose"
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen of mortal man again.

The HYDRA Is It's Own Doctor.

A tiny marine animal which consists
merely of stomach and a mouth sur
rounded by tentacles and which is ca
pable of turning itself inside out is
called the hydra. Sometimes the n.y.
dras mouth becomes overstretched
through it's taking in too much food.
The animal promptly turns itself in
side out, elects the superfuous food
and then returns to it's normal condi-
ton. If it turns itself inside out and
can't get back again it eventually dies.
The hydra is it's own physician and
performs miracles Of healing. If d
tentacle is cut Off a complete animal
will be formed out of it. If the body
is cut in half and the pieces placed to-
gether they will grow together again;
if not. two entire animals will be form
ed, and any part Of one animal will
grow on to the cut surface of another.

larly is this true of the first day after
Christmas, especially when that day is
Sunday. In England, of course, as in
the time of the late Samuel Pickwick,
Esq, who brought about the renais-
sance of Christmas, this is called box
Ing day, not because it is the occasion
of fistic encounters, but because it is
the time appointed for the distribution
of those more or less spontaneous eX-
pressons of good will which are called
Christmas boxes Its more orthodox
title is St. Stephens day. 1t is, you
know, the day on which the illustrious
King Wenceslaus, with the assistance
Of his page, did his noble almoning.
We are not old English kings, so in
stead Of having our page bring flesh
and wine to the poor man on st.
Stephens day we give a dollar to the
youth from the still vexed Bermuthes
who chaperons the elevator in our
apartment house, and for weeks be-
fore Christmas we affix to the flaps of
the envelopes containing our letters
little stamps bearing so called por-
traits of st. Nicholas of Bari. Theo-
retically this last process provides a
modicum of Christmas cheer for GER
tain carefully selected and organized
poor people.
However this may be, the fact re-
mains that the day after Christmas is
very good day indeed. The excite
ment of giving and receiving has pass
ed away; there remains the quieter joy
of sober contemplation. And when
the day after Christmas is Sunday this
contemplation will not be disturbed by
the arrival of the postman, who, a re-
lentless bill bringer, is, like the Greeks,
to be feared even when bearing gifts.
And, in spite Of the remarks of every
humorist who ever borrowed from his
mother-in-law 2 cents to put on an
envelope which should carry joke
about her to an editor, this post Christ
mas meditation nearly always is pleas
ant. It is assisted by the consumption
of wife-bestowed cigars, which (again
despite the humorists) are better than
a man buys for himself It is a pleas
ant meditation, for its subjects are
! things given and things received, good
deeds done and good things expert
| enced.
| It also contains, this day after Christ
mas feeling, a quality of reconciliation,
not of reconciliation with ancient enc
mies-this was all orthodoxy attended
to on Christmas eve-but of reconcilia-
ton with affairs, of readjustment.
