EVER YTHING FROM A TO ~
The Quiet Life.

Often we rebel at what looks to us
like the narrOwness and emptiness of
our lives. There is so little variety.
so little of the unexpected and the
dashing. We forget the loneliness of
a gray life-the delicacy, the subtle
tints and shades that are only possible
when experiences come sparsely or FL
tered through long periods of waiting.
Quiet lives are more exquisite than
crowded ones, just as quiet shadows
are more exquisite than crude sunlight

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Sept. 10.-The cotton
market was easier during today's early
trading There appeared to be no
great selling pressure, but there was
scattered selling for southern account
as well as realizing or liquidation and
after opening barely steady at an adj
vance of points to decline of
points, active months soon showed
losses of IS to % points.
The market turned frmer toward
the middle of the morning. Liverpool
became a heavy buyer while there
seemed to be an active demand TO Gov
er October shorts owing perhaps to
the failure of hedge selling TO develop
after the publication of yesterdays
ginning figures. Stop orders were un-
civered with October selling up from
3445 to $3.50 and January from $3.50
to 34.60 or 70 to so points higher. There
was selling at this level, with the
market quiet late in the morning at
reactions of 20 to 80 points.

KA|SER'S LEG|ONS
HELD BY ALLIES
ADVANTAGE RESTS WITH ALLIES
AFTER WEEK OF FURIOUS At
TACkS BY HUN FORCES.
Americans Come to Close Quarters
With Germans, Using New Guns
With Deadly Effect, Accounting
for Many of the Enemy.

Washington.-The allied forces have
been holding their own the past week,
much Of the former snap of the kaiser's
forces being gone. General Sixt Won
Arnim's plans went woefully awry at
Ypres just when he expected to reap
the reward of his turning movement
against that stronghold.
On the Amiens front severe fighting
has been recorded from day to day. 1t
will be recalled that the British recap
tured Villers Bretonneux and that the
French retOok Hangard and part of
Hangard wood. Most of the fighting
was in this region. The Germans and
their enemies attacked and counter-at-
tackled throughout the week, the final
advantage resting with the allies. At
one point the Huns came in contact
with an American force, which APP
parently had been inserted between
the British and French near Villers-
Bretonneux. Three thousand of the
enemy, after two hours lombard
ment, attacked this part of the line.
They came to close quarters with the
Americans, and there was hand-to-
hand fighting, in which the enemy was
WorSted. He retired, leaving many
bodies in front of the American posi-
ton. For the first time it is recorded
that the Americans are using new
weapon, sort of shotgun rifle. 1t is
evidently used for fighting at close
quarters, although the shot, which
sprays with shotgun effect, kills at
several hundred yards. Westerners
who know something about the deadli-
ness of the sawed-off shotgun will APP
preciate the effectiveness of this wea-
pom in a scrimmage.
In fighting south of Hangard the
French improved their positions. They
attacked the Germans between Hailles
and Castel, on front of about one and
one-quarter miles, taking possession OF
Hill 81 and the wood bordering ON the
Avre river.
British operations are proceeding in
both Mesopotamia and Palestine. Nov.
ing north of Bagdad, toward the great
Turkish base at Mosul, they have
reached the Tauk river, after captur
ing fourteen guns and nearly 1000 pris
oners.
In Palestine. with the exception OF
one severe reverse, the British have
proSpered.

EIaoler,a Florida Railroad.

There is no railroad from Key West,
to Cuba, and could not well be, as
nearly 200 miles of ocean intervene.
What Mr.. Flagler did was to build a
railroad along the eastern coast of
Florida to its southern extremity, and
thence on piles and artificial viaducts
to Key West, and to provide for the
transportation Of loaded trains both
ways between Key West and Cuba by
huge ocean ferry boats constructed and
equipped specially for the service.
There are no figures at hand as to the
cost of the work done by Mr.. Flag
Ter. 1t has been of great commercial
value
