q wish my mind were not so fer tile" announced the young man who love me then. My relatives would not look upon me with scorn and bathing, especially my brother-in-fa Honest, you wouldn't believe the hard heart edness of that man! Why, he won't
 .+What did I do? I ask you; could any human man have done anything else?
 'I was talking with man I know in the gas company's office and when went up to my own office I found had absent mindedly carried away a. small piece of paper that was on his desk. It was a letterhead. It wasn't my fault that brilliant idea seized me in it's teeth, was it, and shook me hard?
 T owed Henry one for several things, so I sat down and typewrote him a brief note on the gas compal1y's paper to- the effect that a recent in spection of his gas meter had revealed that it had been inaccurate and that he owed s63.51 on back bills, and I remained his truly, please remit
 When I got home that night I found Henry so mad that he~couldn't talk and Aliaka, my sister, vividly sympathetic. Henry waved the letter In my face and shouted at me when he got his voice. Not that he had any thing against me then, but he had to shout at some one to relieve his out ragged feelings. I cannot tell you all the things he said. But never in my life have I been so filled with warm admiration for Henry's command of the English language, invective and burning wrath.
 He ended by demanding to know whether I didn't think so, too, and I told him I most certainly did. It seemed a shame to throw cod water on Henry's feelings and spoil it all by confessing, so when he said he was going to write the gas company let ter I advised him to make it a hot one. It was. give you my word there was smoke arising from the paper upon which he penned his emotions.
 When he had banged the stamp on it I held out my hand and said I was going out and I'd mail it for him right away. I mailed it in my inside pocket, of course, and let three sizzling days go by during which Henry had con v@rsed his troubles to everybody who knew him. I know it was wrong, still had left a quarter on my friends desk when he wasn't looking to pay for the few sheets of stationery and envelopes I lifted.
 T wrote Henry another letter. told him that the company regretted the attitude he had taken, but inas- much as the bill was entirely correct they hoped he would see fit to pay it, without any further trouble and re- mained his truly.
 Henry was at the cold, white hot stage when I got home the night he found that second letter waiting him. He had things to say about the greed of corporations and baidfaced outra ges and I believe he vowed he'd never pay the bill if he had to invoke the aid of the Supreme court of the United

at New Ore1ans and agreed upon 30 cents a pound as a fair price to the planter. Having adjusted this import ant matter to their own satisfaction they solmnly resolved that neither congress nor any person or body dele gated by it should have authority to fix prices.
 As cotton was selling at five cents a pound on the plantations three years ago, it will be seen that the gentlemen who speak for the trade have been ex- ceedingly generous with themselves They have done more than mark up famine rates and warn government off the premises. They have ignored what has happened to wheat, steel, copper coal and sugar, and they have wholly overlooked what is going to happen to many other commodities.
 The present congress has been re- 1uctant to deal with cotton and wool as it dealt with food, metals and fuel, but there is reason to believe that if it fails presently to meet the issue it will have a successor that will not he's itate to do so. With a sectional vote almost solidly in it's favor at Washing ton. cotton, although richer than ever before, has pleaded poverty on all oc- casions since the war began. It has helptd government fix prices for other products. For itself it organizes a combine, names it's own terms and asks: What are you going to do about it?"-New York World editorial.

An Americans sacrifice of life, and all it holds dear to him, to save his countrymen and learn the secrets of the. German spy system. forms the theme of the stirring William Fox production, The Spy. which, with Dus- tin Farnum in it's lead, comes to the Auditorium theatre on Monday for three days run
 Dustin F'arnum, one of the few pop u1ar men stars of the screen, plays the role of Mark Quaintance, a man of wealth and social position, who under takes the hazardous task of gaining list of the Tedtonic spies in the United States
 In Berlin he finds it necessary to enrol; himself among those spies be- fore he can learn where the book con taining their names is kept. Then he gets possession of it and sends it to the American ambassador while he him self is courtmartialed - The odd feature about this thrilling drama is that it contains all the vigor and excitement of war, without a sin gle battle scene being flashed on the screen Realizing that the public has a surfeit of such views, the Fox com pany arranged it's story in such mash ion that it was found unnecessary to fire Q single shot during the taking of the picture

The feature production at the Breed theatre today and tonight is Emmy Wehlen in the unusual picturesque photoplay Miss Robinson CrUsoe The story tells of the workings of the for eign spies in this country, although that is a counter plot, it carries all through the story. The role of Van Gordon gives an excellent insight into the life of Wall street. Miss Wehlen is seen in the role of Pamela Sayre. Her ability to portray every emotion her close relationship with New York S upper 400 makes Pamela Sayre a part that fits her like a glove. Miss Wen lens pictures have always been noted for the excellence of the casts by which they are portrayed, and this latest Metro wonderplay will find this popular artist supported by what is really an all star cast. The cast con tains Walter c. Miller. Harold Ent- whistle. Mrs. Sue Balfour, Margaret Seddon and Augustus Phillips.
 The latest war news in the Hearst Pathe weekly will be shown, and a very funny Big V. comedy completes the bill.
