COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-continued fa- Vorable weather overnight and lower English cables brought about an easier market in which the trade were the principal buyers. As far as can be learned the trade seem disposed to buy on a scale down while the selling comes from the south's hedging together with short sellers who are now veering back to Ideas ofSa rather full crop and lower prices under the weight of the actual bales.
 Some very close students on the other hand are prepared to see the govern ment revise its figures of estimated pro- ductlon in the Atlantic states and with this in view and in considering the wales of New York contract in a low grade crop are picking up cotton on dips. Unless bad weather sets in there seems littls choice in selling on good advances or buying on fair breaks for scalping operations.-Fenner &NBeane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The market was easier this morning on lower LiV- erpool cables and scattered selling from locals and wire houses on better wealth CT over the belt. However, we call your attentionto the fact that there is talk of cold wave breaking out in Alaska headed southeast. This may possibly bring cold weather in the western belt the beginning of next week, but 1t Is all prOblematicaI, of course. With good weather in most of the belt, picking and ginning will go on and there will be a tendency to increase hedge sales.
 It is a noticeable fact that the trade are more or less willing to buy cotton at limits on any declines. This strength ems the market materially And puts it into a position to advance rapidly on any bullish news. Liverpool futures are due on Monday, December, 13.34d; Jam uary, 13.37d.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

OLD STRUCTURE
 IS RESTORED NOW
J. s. Assay Office to Be Museum
 in New York

New York, Oct.10.-The facade of the old United States Assay Office Building. which formerly stood at l5 Wall Street, has been reassembled stone by stone as the front of the new American wing of the Metro politan Museum of Art in Central Park. The new wing will be devot- ed entirely to American art of the Colonial, Revolutionary and Repub- liean periods, and will be formally thrown open to the public Novem- Der 10.
 This building will be unique in that it's IS rooms for the most part will be installed with the actual woodwork that formed the walls and ceilings of historic and charac- teristic early rooms. Collections of objects of American furniture, sil- verware, glass and pottery of the seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries will be shown in the appropriate rooms.
 The American wing will teach present and future generations of Americans that the men to whose struggles they owe the foundation ot the American Commonwealth were refined in their tastes and by nc means indifferent to beauty. Though for the most part they neglected the arts of painting and sculpture, theii instinct found expression in the houses they built and the furniture they bought for daily use.

But with clothes to be had at the end of a hard days work labor they turned to with a will, toiling under the weight of heavy timbers and loads of bricks and stones. The shortage of building materials soon became surplus.

"BIock Magic

Black magic is as old as the black
race and, If there were not some good
in 1t, 1t would hardly have survived.
Belief in 1t is universal throughout
savage Africa. Even in the minds Of
our educated, American negroes dim
echoes of magic times still reverber-
ate. Uneducated negroes are still be-
levers. If you wish to test the truth
of this statement, shout "yoodooi" at
negro In the dark. His rabbits
foot is a token of magic.
Black magic has never been scien-
tifically studied. If 1t were thoroughly
investigated, Captain Haselden. who
spent two years in Central Africa be-
fore coming to California to take
charge of Henry Huntington's medieval
thinks that amid mass
of superstitions few fundamental
truths would be discovered. which
might prove beneficial to humanity as
a whole.-Ransome Sutton. In San

Bonsib Got in Bad

Several months ago while returning
to Indianapolis from Brown county,
Louis Bonsib, now Of Peru, Ind, but
at that time living in Indianapolis
witnessed a piece of driving on the
part of the more gentle sex" that
almost caused him to release his grip
on the steering wheel Of his automo-
bile and shut his eyes. A short time
later the same woman driver crowded
a small sedan from the road and the
occupants narrowly escaped serious
injury.
The other passenger in Bonsib's ma
chine happened to have police power
and a badge and the two decided to
"step 'er up" to the woman driver and
warn her to be more careful in her
driving.
The big car fairly ate up the road
to the other machine and both occu-
pants leaned out and 'bawled the driv-
er out" to their hearts desire.
The next day Bonsib seemed rather
downcast and the other passenger,
who CHANGED to be next door neigh
Dor, asked him what the trouble was.
Remember that woman driver we
bawled out yesterday" Bonsib asked
"Sure," was the reply.
swell, I'm in Dutch. She was my
stenographer," replied Bonsib. Aesop
said 1000 years ago, HE who laughs
last laughs best" -Indianapol News. |

Cause of Trojan War
Told in Hon1er's Had

According to Homer's Had, the Trio
Jan war was an expedition against the
city of Troy, engaged in by the com
bined princes Of Greece. led by Aga
memnon, king of Mycenae. Paris, the
son of Priam, king of Troy, having
awarded the prize for superior beauty
to Venus In preference to Juno and
Minerva. was promised by that god
dess the most beautiful woman of the
age for his wife. Soon after this he
visited Menelaus, king Of Sparta, and
was received with great respect, but
abused the hospitality shown him by
inducing Helen, the wife of his host,
to elope with him to Troy. The Gre
clan princes resolved to avenge this
outrage, and sailed for Troy with an
army of 100000 men, conveyed thither
In 1900 open vessels. After siege
of ten years, the city was taken by
stratagem, plundered and then burned
(11S4 B. o.. The aged king Priam
was slain, and his family was led into
captivity. Among the famous princes
that distinguished themselves in the
Trojan war may be named Achilles,
Ajax, Menelaus, Ulysses, Nestor and
Diomedes. The Trojans were com
manded by Hector. the son of Priam.

Abundant Proof That
Animals Exercise Wits

That animals think before they act
Is the conviction expressed by Dian
Gopal Mukerji. Indian lecturer and au-
thor
Mr.. Mukerji asserts that all real do
ing was the result of active contem-
plation and thinking, and that deeds
unprecedented were short-lived, and
cites examples from his experiences
with animals in India.
Once" said Mr.. Mukerji, II was
with party of men who were travel
ing In India on elephants. One morn
ing we saw the purplish color in the
high grass which Indicates that tiger
is lying there. Before any of us could
raise rifle the male, for there were
two of them, had leaped to the back
of one of the elephants and remained
there face to face with the helpless
rider Meantime his mate, the tigress,
skunk away into some deep underbrush
and safety. She uttered one little cry
and her mate leaped from the back of
the elephant and followed her. He
was shot down.
1.-THE whole act was not one of ag-
gression, but of protection. The tiger
did not want to attack our man, but to
prevent us from attacking his mate
He did not instinctively save his own
life, but, after thought, however brief,
determined to sacrifice his own to save
hers He knew that she who could
bear cubs and bring them up was Of
more value than he, and that 1t was
his duty to save her.
'In another instance the elephant
was left with a little Indian baby In
a basket while the parent of the babe
went away for several hours. The ele-
plant was tied so that he could not
reach the basket. When the parent
came back Il was with him) we saw
that a huge poisonous snake had
coiled itself around the basket. We
did not know what to do for fear that
the snake would strike the baby If we
made any move.
The elephant all the while was
straining the rope which held him and
trying to attract the snakes attention
by swinging his trunk. He was clearly

and leave the baby. The parent car
ried a club. Suddenly the elephant
saw 1t and with one swoop of his
trunk wrenched 1t away from the man.
He moved the club back and forth
over the ground until the snake saw
1t. The snake uncoiled itself and
moved over and coiled itself around
the stick. With one rapid stroke the
raised and lowered his trunk, 4
killing the snake.
1.-THE elephant had thought out the
whole ruse and the snake had been
outwitted. The elephants actions
had been intelligently cal
culated to save the baby even though !
It were necessary to be bitten himself"
