New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, March 26.-The outstand- ing feature in the cotton market today was the bearish construction placed on European political news and after the first call was out of the way bearish sentiment in this direction wholly dom mated the market. Late in the day the reduction of 50 points in spot prices brought about new low levels in contracts. During the first part of the session all most no trading was done in old con- tracts and only limited volume of busi- ness was done later At the lowest the new contracts were 39 to 59 points under the close of Monday. Last prices were 20 to 40 points down net on the new con- tracts and A to 50 points down, net, on the old. New May traded down to 22.9Sc and new October down to 1915.
 Middlng spots were quoted at 26.o0c.
 On the first call with all the trading in new contracts, prices were l to 10 points up on small buying based on the rains in the western and central portions of the belt, but immediately after tho call selling pressure was felt and it con- tinued during practically the whole of the day thereafter Recoveries were small and not sustained.

that they could go to school The
strange. thing about it is this: It was
Dave Ramsey who really started that
story He got up in church the other
night and confessed his crime. His
conscience wouldn't let him keep 1T.
He said that he had not seen Peabody
Baynes on that road the day the
money was lost but had only heard
that he was there. He knew now that
he couldn't have been there. Gosh

say when there was nothing else to be
said''
delayed vindicatiOn of my beloved
Uncle Peabody.
The senator ate supper with US and
sent his hired man out for his horse
snd buggy. When he had put on his
overcOat and was about to 90 he
turned to my uncle and said:
Peabody Baynes, if have had any
success in the world it is because 1
have had the exalted honor and con-
seriousness that represented men like
you"
He left US and we sat down by the
glowing candles. Soon told them what
Ramsey had done. There was a mo-
nent Of silence. Uncle Peabody rose
and went to the water pail for a drink.
Bart, 1 believe I'll plant corn Cd
that ten-arce lot next spring darned
If 1 don't" he said as he returned to
his chair.
None of US ever spoke of the matter
again, to my knowledge.

Ts'lS'-'i MS nose and laid his antIers
back over his shoulders and swan
quietly downstream. his nose just
showing above the water. His antlers
were like a bit of driftwood. If we
had not seen him take the water his
antlers might easily have passed for
a bunch of dead sticks. Soon the buck
slowly lifted his head and turned his
neck and looked at both shores. Then
very deliberately he resumed his place
under water and went on. We watched
him as he took the farther shore be
low US and made of in the woods
again.
81 couldn't shoot at him, it was such
a beautiful bit of politics. said the
senator.
Soon the hound reached the cove's
edge and swan the river and ranged
up and down the bank for half an
hour before he found the bucks trail
again.
I've seen many a rascal, driven to
water. by the hounds, go swimming
away as slyly as that buck, with their
horns in the air, looking as innocent
as bit of driftwood. They come in
from both shOres-the Wing and the
Democratic-an they are always shot
at from one bank or the other"
l remember it surprised me a little
to hear him say that they came in
from both shores.
''Just what do you want to dor" he
asked presently.
Il should like to go down to Wash
tngton with you and help you in any
way that can"
All right, partner-we'H try it." he
answered gravely. 81 hope that I don't
forget and work you as hard as 1 work
myself. 1t wouldn't be decent. 1 have
great many letters to write. I'll try
thinking out loud while you take them
down in sound-hand. Then you can
draft them neatly and I'll sign them.
You have tact and good manners and
can do many OF my errands for me and
save me from those who have no good
reason for taking up my time"
you will meet the best people and
the worst. There's just a chance that
it may come to something worth while
who knows? You are young yet. 1t
will be good training and you will wit
ness the making of some history now
and then"
What elation I felt!
Again the voice of the hound, which
had been ringing in the distant hills,
was coming nearer
I'VE must keep watch-anotheT deer
is coming" said the senator.
We had only a moments watch be-
fore fine yearling buck came down
to the opposite shore and stood look
ing across the river. The senator
raised his rife and fred. The buck
fell in the edge of the water.
'HOw shall we get him?" my friend
asked.

as I began to undress. Nothing was
difficult those days.
I swan the river and towed the
buck across with a beech withe in his
ganbrei joints. The hound joined me

before was half across with my bur
den and nosed the carcass and swan
on ahead yelping with delight.
We dressed the deer and then I
had the great joy of carrying him
on my back two miles across the CONN.,
try to the wagon. The senator wished
to send guide for the deer. but I in
sisted that the carrying was my priyi-
lege.
''Well, guess your big thighs and
broad shoulders can stand it," said he.

be brushed away Still he enjoyed
them while they lasted and there was
kind of tacft claim in his manner
that they were subjec-s regarding
which no honest man could be expect
ed to tell the truth.
As we ate our dinner they told me
that an escaped slave had come into
neighbOrfing county and excited the
people with stories of the auction
block and of negroes driven like yoked
oxen on plantations in South Carolina,
whence he had escaped on a steam
boat.
Il b'lieve I'm goin' to vote for abo-
lition." said Uncle Peabody. Il won
der what Sile Wright will say to that"
He'll probably advise against it; the
time isn't ripe for so great a change"
was my answer. ''He thinks that the
whole matter should be left to the gla-
cial action of times forces"
Indeed I had spoken the view of
the sounder men of the North The
subject filed them with dread alarm.
But the attitude Of Uncle Peabody
was significant. The sentiment in IA
vor of change was growing. 1t was
now to be reckoned with, for the abo-
l1tion party was said to hold the bal
ance of power in New York and New
England and was behaving itself like
bull in a china shop.
After dinner I tried to put on some
of my old clothes, but found that my
nakedness had SO expanded that they
would not cover it, so 1 hitched my
ho
drove to the village for my trunk.
Every week day after that I worked
in the fields until the senator arrived
in Canton about the middle of August.
On one of those happy days I received
letter from old Kate. dated, to my
surprise, in Saratoga. 1t said:
Dear Barton Baynes: I thought I
would let you know that my father is
dead. I have come here to rest and
have found some work to do 1 am bet
ter now. Have seen Sally. She is very
beautiful and kind. She does not know
that 1 am the old witch, have changed
so. The others do not know-it is
better that way. I think 1t was the
Lord that brought me here He has a
way Of taking care Of some people,
my boy. Do you remember when I be-
gan to call you my boy-you were very
little. 1t is long, long ago since I first
saw you in your fathers dooryard-
you said you were going to mill on a
butterfy's back. You looked just as 1
thought my boy would look. You gave
me kiss. What a wonderful gift it
was to me thenl began to love you.
I have no one else to think of now. I
hope you won't mind my thinking SO
much Of you.

will and singular insight of this wom-
an had so often exercised themselves
in my behalf. I could not remember
the far day and the happy circum-
stance Of which she spoke, but 1 wrote
her letter which must have warmed
her heart 1 am sure.
SiIas Wright arrived in Canton and
drove up to our home. He reached
our door at eight In the morning with
his hound and rife. He had aged rap
idly since I had seen him last. His
hair was almost white. There we're
many new lines in his face. He
seemed more grave and dlgnifled. He
did not lapse into the dialect of his
fathers when he spoke Of the ancient
pestimes OF hunting and fishing as he
had been wont to do.
Bart" he said when the greetings
were over, Tets you and me go and
spend a day in the woods. I'll leave
my man here to help your uncle while
you're gone"
We went by driving south a few
miles and tramping in to the foot of
the saltwater on our rivera trail
long familiar to me. The dog left Us
soon after we took it and began to
range over thick wooded hills. We sat
down among small, spirelike spruces
at the rivers edge with a long stretch
of water in sight while the music of
the hounds voice came family to our
ears from the distant forest.
"Oh, I've been dreaming of this for
a long time" said the senator as he
leaned back against a tree and filed
his lungs and looked out upon the wa
ter, green with lily pads along the
edge and f1ecked with the last OF the
white blossoms. 81 believe you want
to leave this lovely country"
81 am waiting for the call to 60"
well, I'm inclined to think you are
the kind OF man who ought to CO." he
answered almost sadly. "You are
needed. have been waiting until we
should meet to congratulate you on
your behavior at CobleskilI. 1 think
you have the right spirit-that is the
all-important matter. You will en-
counter strange company in the game
of politics. Let me tell you a story
He told me many stories of his life
in Washington, interrupted by assound
like that OF approaching footsteps. We
ceased talking and presently q flock
of cartridges came near US, pacing
along over the mat Of leaves In q lei
surely fashion We sat perfectly still
4 young cock bird with his beautiful
ruff standing out, like the hair on the
back OF a frightened dog, strobe
toward US with comic threat Ii his
manner. It seemed as IL he were OF
half mind TO knock US into the river.
But we sat as sill as stumps and he
spared us and went on with the others.
The baying Of the hound was nearer
now. Suddenly we saw a big buck
come down to the shore of the cove
near US and on our side of the stream.
He looked to right and left. Then he
made a long leap into the water and
waded slowly until it covered him. He
