 You're not fit to be an Ice Broth er,' said the others in disgust. You're n warm-hearted creature. You're not cold and hard and freezing as you should bep

 Pretty soon they had skinned over the top of the glass so many times that 1t was covered with ice. If Mall colm had awakened then he would have had to drink a great piece of ice.
 And on the Ice Brothers worked, skimming over the glass again and again until the water was frozen solid. Deeper and deeper they made the ice and harder and harder. The warm hearted little Fee Brother had no chance to say or do anything with so many against him.
 "'Why, if you had your way they said, we would never have any fun. You always melt if anyone looks at you
 "sWell,' said the warm-hearted lit tie Ice Brother, you don't care to have Mr. Sun look too hard at ali of you
 "'Well, Mir Sun is slightly different said the others. And they kept at work.
 Before long 1t was morning. Such fun as the Ice Brothers had had. Nal colm was now waking up though, and they were watching to see what would happen.

 ".What do you want, little boy?' he seemed to say.
 ".Mr. Sun, please melt the ice in my glass said Malcolm.
 And MT. Sun began. Oh, don't melt us,' said the Ice Brothers.
 ".Sorry,' said MT. Sun. I must do my duty
 "'But you shouldn't melt' said the warm-hearted little Ice Brother to the others. You scolded me for melting so easily
 "'But we can't help it. said the Ice Brothers, as they disappeared and the water was in the glass-just the same as ever, and Malcolm drank it, while Mr. Sun smiled and felt he had started the day we'll

~ ID you ever risk your life K and come within a breath
 of losing it while trying to
 save friend? There is a mighty thrilling episode pictured in this instaIIment.
 Taking up the thread Of the story, you will recall that Huah Whitaker, returning to New York five years after his SUD- posed death, finds his wife, now a famous actress known as Sara Law, engaged to marry Drummond, his old partner. Drummond supposedly commits suicide. Sara Law disappears. Whitaker, assailed mysterious iy, goes to the country place of Martin Ebmer.
 He becomes acquainted with charming Miss Fiske, living near by, and discovers spies are watching her. One night she is abducted in a motor boat when Whitaker starts to make a call. He follows the kidnapers in an- other launch and sees their boat wrecked on a reef.

Tell Abney to be sure and bring some
ligh-top shoes with him and not to be
afraid to get them too high. They say
they are better than boots, though he
will probably have both. Had better
bring some tobacco and cigarettes with
him. as he may be where he can't get
American tobacco for a while, and
French cigarettes are impossible.
If you have any extra money to give
away this year, give it to the Y. NJ. G.
A. They are doing a wonderful work.
They furnish stationery, reading mat
ter and entertainment for the army, as
well as religious work. They have a
fine class of men as secretaries, and
one little hut does more good than our
pile of stone at home.
Wish l could tell you about our
work, but all can say is that we are
working hard to lick the Boche, and
we're going to do it, good and proper.
l sincerely hope you and Mother
Virginia and Jim's family are all well.
/ shall certainly be glad to hear from
home and should within the next few
days. l will he glad to get back home,
but l want to see the war ended before
get there. Must close now as have
| some other letters to write.
With best love and lots of it to all
of you. Sincerely, your son,

Fifty Years Ago.

fifty ears ago.
The Banner of Nov. 20, 1S67-Bellevue.l
District Court opened i'll this place
press. two cases have been disposed of.
Our indefatigable acting District At
torney, Il. J. LOoney, Esq. assures us
# our parish boarding house is not
cleared of its pets this session it will
not he the fault of the prosecuting at
torney. From all appearances, we are
to lie favored with a term that will per-
haps clear the docket. 1t is to be
hoped SO. at least. The fahulist tells
us the plodding, persevering tortoise
once won the stake in race with the
sprightly hare" Prom all Of which
the reader may infer that the courts
were rather dillatery ut that time as
well as fifty years later.]
The Banner of that date stated that
Arkansas River planters were paying Il
dollar Fer hundred for picking cotton.
We never heard Of such a price any
where until this season One dollar
per hundred and even more is not un-
usual in some sections of the South at
| the present time. According to reports
| TO reach Benton, as much as S1.2J per
hundred is being paid just across the
| river from Benton. Fifty Years ago
middling cotton was bringing from Ii
to Is cents per pound. That would
make the cost to the producer about J
cents for each pound of lint and to that
had to he added the duty of 211a cents
per pound. The total Of ~ cents sub
| tracted from Is cents would leave only
| 12H, cents, SO it is easy to see that the
dollar per-hundred price for picking
to-day can more readily lie paid than
| then. The day we write this mid
ding cotton is quoted i'll Shreveport at
2SA cents per pound.
