Although she never went to school,
this parsons daughter was by long
odds the cleverest in the entire line OF
our presidents wives, her published
letters forming a delightfully."- human
document in our too often unhuman
history. When John Joined the fathers
of the republic in the great work of
setting up the most masculine govern
ment the world ever saw, this mother
of the republic had to stay home to
rock the cradle, cook and patch for
four little Adamses and to tend the
farm. Milking and churning, knitting
and darning, tea ching and praying,
toiling and saving, she supported the
family inspired her husband in his
progress to the presidency, and reared
a son to follow in the fathers foot
steps. TO Abigail Adams alone be-
longs the glory Of having been the wife
of one president and the mother of
another.
In the war, it fell to Adams to do
picket duty in Europe. Congress sent
him to France with thoughtful warn
ing to put In the bottom of his dis
patch bag plenty of lead or stone or
other weighty substance to sink his
papers. For his own neck no protec-
ton was proposed in event of the
British capturing slgner of the rebel
manifesto of July 4, 1776. Neverthe-
less, he took with him on the perllous
trip his ten-year-old son, John Quincy.
On the next voyage, he carried not
only John Quincy, but also his second
son, and they were shipwrecked of the
coast of Spain.
After five long. anxious years Of sep
aration from husband and children the

Abigail, the farmerette Of Braintree.
Her presentation costume, according
to her own description, was white Lutte

TONED with lilac ribbon and mock
point lace, over a hoop of enormous
extent, and with a narrow train three
yards long; also rufie, cuffs, treble
lace ruffles and dress cap, with long
lace lappets and two white plumes."
"You will be stared at great DEAL"
the Duke of Dorset kindly warned the
Adamses. On the contrary, every back

received Abigail with contempt and
scorn."

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Cuban

sion as often and with the same
impulsive combinations and denials
that accompanied the reports of

of years ago. One day 1t is on, the
next day it is of. Conferences are
held first at one bank, then at an
other; at times in the offices of in
ternational bankers, at other times
in private Offices. Sometimes the
newspapers are notified of them ana
more often are not. Out of the con-
fiicting rumors and statements one
thing seems to be definite. Cuba
needs money and credit as never be-
fore The Cuban congress. meets
today, but no one here knows who
is president of the country. The
election in November apparently re-
suited in the return of the coalition

the chief executive is.

SCORES
SLIGHT GAINS
Unsettled Market Jumps Sensation
ally After Low Start-Final
Prices Hold Firm. +

NEW YORK, Dec. There were
further gains in cotton today. The
market, however, in the main, was
unsettled. The English market
jumped sensationally after a lower
start. During the recent depression
Liverpool sold far below shipping
parity.
First prices here were 25 to As
points higher. Liverpool. Wall
Street and the trade were good buy
ers on the rise. while New Orleans
and other Southern interests sold.
That market showed considerable
strength after our local opening.
and prices here sold about 40 to
62 points above the previous close
before the end of the first hour.
Buying was less active after the
close at Liverpool and early in the
afternoon most of the gain was
lost under local and Wall Street
selling. At the lowest of the re-
action prices were within 2 to IL
points Of the previous close.
In the last hour there was a ma
terial Improvement in the buying
power and prices advanced into new
high ground for the day. Spot
firms were good purchasers on the
rise. Last prices were firm at a
net gain of 81 to rs points.
Spot here was steady. with mid
ding. 65 points higher at 1866
cents. There were no sales. Spot
at New Orleans was steady, with
middling 25 points higher at 1850
cents. The sales were 2,761 bales.
Receipts OF cotton in bales at

were: Galveston, 14,1S3; New Or

CHICAGO GRAIN
IN BIG RALLY
Big Line of Short Wheat Credited
To Livemere Is
Covered.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-covering of a
big line of short wheat credited
to Livermore. the New York plunger.
with continued buying by export in
terests caused q big rally in wheat
prices here today. With further
shifting to the bull side OF sew
eral of the influential commission
houses, there was less pressure on
the market, and the effect of the
of another bank fall
ure In the Northwest soon wore on.
Buying for the account of sea-
board export interests was in evil
dence right from. the start and took
care OF tho early selling. Later
offerings became increasingly light,
and shorts in December appeared to
be especially perturbed. inasmuch as
deliveries on contracts for Decem-
ber were only $1,000 bushels. Ex-
port sales in all positions were
placed at upwards of 100000 BUSH
els Of wheat. and 100000 bushels
Of rye.
Wheat futures at the close were 8
to 5kc higher. Corn was 1 to 2xc
higher, the December gaining on the
other months. Oats gained y TO
&c. Rye was 3 to 3%c up and bar
ley, / to 1Ac lower.
Elevator interests bought Decem-
Der corn, causing that delivery to
advance more rapidly than the de-
ferred positions. However, commits
sion houses were good buyers of the
May and July on the setbacks and
caused q strong close. the buying
by local shorts being q late factor.
Oats were higher early, but
up again before the close In SYM
pathy with wheat. Closing prices
were about the best of the day.
Provisions scored a sharp upturn
in the late trade after being dull
and featureless early.
