peciaD.-Buyers in this territory
WINGED that prices in most commod-
tiles have reached their low points
and are hardening preparatory to an
advance. This has been reflected in
an increased volume of trade in the
last few days. When prices were ad-
fearing they would be unable to OBJ
tain goods before further advances
occurred, but while prices were de-
clining they held aloof hoping to
gain advantage by waiting. The up

Present prospects indicate fair busi-

some profit, although the margin may
not~be sufficient In all cases to over
balance earlier dullness. The sud

hit the mail order houses just at the
time when their business should have
been at the high point. Profits van
ished last November and December,
while small sales and large inven-
tories turned a prosperous year into
one of no profits or large losses. 1t
is hoped that the process will be re-
versed this winter.

Elephants Push
 Cars To Safety

Three trained elephants. Albert, Babe and Queenie, who have per- performed before miln ons os people throughout the world proveS them selves to be the real heroes of a fire which broke out last night in the winter quarters of the Ringing Bros & Barnum & Bailey circus While the blaze ragged in a huge hay pile in which were stored 260 tons of hay, the trio of elephants, under the direc- tion of their keepers, pushed many railroad cars to safety and thereby prevented serious spread of the flames. Damage amounting to S17.- 900 was created by the blaze which is thought tn have been of incendiary origin.
 The fire was discovered shortly af- Ger ' O. lock, and is thought to have been started by two men who were seen near the hay pile a few hours earhef. Bremen had great difficult ty in quenching the flames inasmuch as water could not seen to penetrate into the heart of the huge pile, where the fire was at its worst A dense Loud Of smoke settled down over the circus property and the surrounding neighborhood, handicapping the fire men and circus employees
 Within a short distance of the blaz- ing hay pile, many cars owned by the circus company were lined up ol, the railroad tracks. The elephants were used to move these cars, and they did so in a slow but methodicaI manner, saving them from certain a bad scorching, and will he as good as ever after a fresh coat of paint has been applied.

The elephants, 42 in number were stabled in a big b-1ilding about 150 feet from the flames, and showed signs of restless ness during the confederation, but fortunately did not attempt a stam- pede.
 Two firemen were injured while fighting the flames, Eli LaFontaine of 1266 State street. fell a considerable distance and Handed on a bale of hay.

Half Tom of Meal Worth Ton
Of Seed AS Fertilizer

MR. FARMER, have you given
e real thought to whether you are
doing the right thing in holding your
cotton seed for fertilizer, instead of
taking them to the oil mill and swap
ping them for meal to u.s. for the
same purpose? Probably YOU have
given some good, hard serious
thought to the subject. But you
probably are of the opinion that ton
Of meal is worth more, and prob
ably little less, for fertilizer, than
a ton Of seed, and believe swap
on the mill basis would be decidedly
to your disadvantage.
However, this seems not to be a
fact. According to expert analysis,
a half ton Of meal contains nearly
the same fertilizer ingredient that a
ton of seed contains. The mills
here are giving 500 pounds Of meal
Tor a ton of seed, which represents
a gain of nearly so per cent, if this
analysis is correct, in favor of the
farmer. At the same time, it sup
plies the oil mill with raw material
on which to operate and employ
labor and manufacture a product
that will bring money into the South
instead of going to waste in the
ground.

SUCKS VENOM OF
RATHER FROM
HIS DOGS VEINS

ALBANY, Jan. 14.-How much
DO you love your dog?
Or, how much do you love any
dog?
Would you suck the poison of a
Mathematics bite from a dogs
head if he were bitten?
That is what an Albany man
did recently.
Many stories have been written
of the faithfulness of dogs to
their masters-of how they will
endure the most terrible suffering,
Will remain faithful through the
most trying circumstances, will
even give their lives for the human
beings they lcve-but rarely does
one hear of a man loving his dog
enough to extract the poison Of
snakchtc with his own lips.
O. +. Monford, Of the Monford-
MaaGet firm of cotton brogers,
was hunting recently with Fl. T.
Mangct, when the two came sud
denly on q rattIcanakc in the grass.
Mr.. Nanget shot the snake and the
bird dog went into retrieve it.
The snake struck at the dog and
buried its fangs in the dogs head
above the left eye.
MIR. Monford, without a mo-
ment's hesitation called the dog,
and by sucking extracted the poi
son from the wound. The two
hunters then hurried to the city
and turned the dog over to vet
Urinary surgeon for treatment.
There was considerable swelling
in the animals head, and the sur
geon said the dog would undoubt-
the thoughtfulness of Mr.. Mon
eddy have died had it not been for
ford.

rGez3. 1le anticipatory gloom of the
court was laid aside, and jewels
brought from vaults were worn for the
first time in months. Uniforms of
various sorts, but all gorgeous, touched
tlne shoulders, and came away, bear
ing white, pOwdery traces of the meet
ing. The greenhouses at the summer
palace had been sacked for flowers and
plants. The corridor from the great
salon to the dining hall, always a
dreary passage, had suddenly become
a fairy path of early spring bloom.
Even Annunciata, hung now with
ropes of pearls, her hair dressed high
for a tiara of diamonds, her canoes
exchanged for pearls, looked royal.
Proving conclusively that clutter, as TO
dress, is entirely a matter of value.
Miss Braithwaite, who had begun
recently to think palace the dreariest
place in the world, and the most Ccm-
monplace, found the preparations
rather exciting. Being British she
dearly loved the aristocracy, and
shrugged her shoulders at any family
which took up less than page in the
peerage. She resented deeply the in
trusion of the cOmmoner into British
politics, and considered Lloyd George
an upstart and an interloper.
That evening she took the crown
prince to see the preparations for the
festivities. The flowers appealed to
him, and he asked for and secured a
rose, which he held carefully. But the
magnificence of the table only family
impressed him, and when he heard
that Milky would not be present, he
lost interest entirely. 'Will they
wheel my grandfather in in a chair?"
he inquired.
HE is too ill.," Miss Braithwaite
said.
He'll be rather lonely, when they're
all at the party. You don't suppose 1
could 60 and sit with him, do yCu?"
ut will be long after your bed
time"
Bedtime being the one rule which was
never under and circumstances broken,
he did not persist. To have insisted
might have meant five marks off in
Miss BraithWaite'S book, and his rec
ord was very good that week. To-
gether the elderly English woman and
the boy went back to the school room.
The Countess Loschek, who had
dressed with u heavy heart, was easily
the most beautiful OF the women that
night. A little court paid tribute to
her beauty, and bowed the deeper and
flattered the more as she openly
Scorned and 1iouted them. She caught
once a flicker of admiration in Karl's
face and although her head went
high, her heart beat stormily under
