BUDDY BATTEREDKNEE.

Little Buddy Batteredknee,
That is what your name should be.
Never were pair of knees
Such sorry sight as these
Cut and bruised and sadly hurt,
Red with blood and black with dirt
Come, / say" and "let me see!'
But you stand and grin at me.
Surely you have suffered pain
Scars so ugly to obtain!
There's the record. plain as day,
You have tumbled on the way;
Six or seven places there
Carry wounds you've had to bear.
Grinning? What is there to please
, In 30 sad a pair Of knees?
Proud Of them? You seem to be! -
Do they mark some victory?
Did you cry or did you not
When you won that fearful spot?
What about this cut right here?
Did that start little tear?
Not at all! What's that you say?
"All the boys knees look this way!"
Little Buddy Batteredknee,
That is what your name should be.
Never have seen
Knees so battered and unclean,
Yet when would sympathize
You display them as prize, ~
And you proudly tell me now.
They're not girls knees, anyhow

The proposed amendment. without

District to secure by majority vote of

power of exclusive legislation over the

Our present attitude is unassailable.
We show convincingly the conditions
which entitle US to all the rights.
privileges and powers of the citizens
of a state. In order. however. that in
the national interest the nation may
retain full control of its capital we
waive those rights and powers which
are inconsistent with that control.
And we petition Congress to emRpvver
itself to grant to MS when we are 1T

Entitled to all, we ask patriotically

How can any American, in or out of
Congress. reject this equitable petit
ton? What national legislator can be
imagined as STOPPING SO low as to
threaten reputation by the nation of
it's financial obligation toward the
capital. or violation of the nations
pledge that Washington should be the
permanent capital, merely because
Washingtonians dare to present and
push this just amendment?
Not a vote in either house of Con-

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans. July 19.--After mak- ing wide gains in the early trading to- day. cotton quieted down and sagged off under realizing from recent long buyers until nearly all of the gains were lost and in the late trading the active months were only two to fifteen points over the final prices of last week. The close showed net gains of five to twenty seven points. At the high of the day the more active months were fortysix to sixty ynine points up and October stood at 34.S3.
 The buying was done mainly on the fear that the continued showery and cloudy weather over the belt meant excessive boil weevil damage in the long run. Heaviest buying followed the forecast of local showers for the western half called for partly cloudy weather with showers in southeast Louisiana and the Panhandle Of Texas. On the opening and for some time af ter a large business was done and the ring found it difficult to supply the demand.
 Liverpool was much better than due and helped make the strong opening. The market had a very good tone un- til realizing became general Some of the offerings late in the day seemed to be prompted by reports of cotton open ing in the earlier counties of Texas.
