HOUSTON AS A COTTON CENTER

King Cotton continues to maintain his capital in Houston. The latest distinction achieved here is in connection with exports The end of the 192S-'24 season finds 1 1,O67, PIP bales forwarded over Houston whaPves to other ports, setting a new record in water shipments direct from the Port of Houston. Five years ago the exports amounted to ap- proximately G7.000 bales, the growth in ship ments during the period since then amount ing to 100000 bales. In those figures are reflected pretty accurately the marvellous ex- pansion of the port, and it's increase in traffic The coming season doubtless will witness the exportation of at least 100000 bales from our local port. Receipts of nearly 3,500.000 bales during the past season indicate how near Houston came to handling the cotton eFep of the state.--HoustoH Post.Dispatch

A Midnight Thriller

Sd In the deathly, silent, depths of night I awoke, made fully conscious by a call that was as vague as it was impelling
 Quietly I slipped from my bed, fearful lest disturb my wife. No need to alarm her, poor, tired woman that she was.
 I descended the stairs, slowly and softly, my heart in my mouth lest board creak and shriek out my presence. To the end of the steps, through another door, felt my uncer- tain way. At last stood before box, case wherein lay the most valuable of plate. I knelt, I fumbled with the knobs, I reached in.
 Thank Heaven It was still there! E I just knew that the cold pork hadn't all been eaten.-K. K. Friedel
