It is just aB easy and more right for you to say what your cotton is worth than it is to get someone else to tell you what it ls worth. About Cl:eap Wit. Many good resolutions in farm? ero' meetings have been lost by tae interjection of a little oheap wit just simply for a laugh. We have known men who, at timer, in order to get up a good laugh, tave sprung a good joke that defeated a good move they were at heart in favor of. Suoh gleeful characters will quit a very important business meeting at almost any stage of its deliberations, and go outside to see a "yellow dog fight.' Some people ybu have seen have a kind of propensity for trying to fool people by blowing about something they are going to do. But later on they loam that they have fooled no one but themselves. People are not so interested in what folks are going to do as they are about the things you have al ready done. Father of Fifty-Three Children. lberton, Ga., July 22.-Citizens of this 'aoe aro to ask President Roosevelt for an ant i-i ace-suicide med.il for Elijah Ed wards, a negro farmer, near Peter's Point.

Edwards is still hale and hoarty. i ? ? Polite, Rut Unconvinced. A Kansas City matron who vis ited in Southern Alabama last winter told a number of children there about snow, which they had never seen, says the Washington Herald. They were much interested, but when she had finished one little fellow said : "Mrs. Browning, I can't quito be lieve that." Next morning a caller was an nounced for Mrs. Browning, and sho found doubting Tommy awaiting, his cap in his hand. He said : "Mrs Browning, mother says it was very wrong for me to say what I did yestorday, so I'm sorry and want to apologize. "But," ho added, ingeniously, "I don't believe it yet." E LECTPIf? THE BEST FOR J. BILIOUSNESS BATTERS AND, KIDNEYS. Gen. Grant as a Laundryman. It is not always safe to play a praotioal joke unless you are thor oughly acquainted with your victim. It is sometimes sadly true that "the biter is bitten." We were gathered around a bright fire in a oozy sitting room. The colonel, to our great delight, had gone bach twenty-four years to his tent at the base of Keuesaw moun tain, and was again, aa in those past eventful years, following the banner of Sherman. Suddenly an odd thought flashed into the writer's mind and found expression in a question : "Colonel," I said, "I have read and heard a great deal about army life ; but on one point I was never much enlightened. How was the washing done? Who did it for the soldiers ?" A smile stole around the oorners of the colonel's rather stern mouili, his black eyes twinkled. "Usually the soldiers did it for themselves, but I remember one oase where Qen. (mirant did some washing for a soldier." Everybody looked up in surprise. Muoh as we had heard of Gen. Grant's old army blouse and democratic ways among his men, this idea of his washing for a private was very novel. There was a ohorus of questions and ex clamations. "Was it really true? Did he wash for the soldiers ? How did it happen ? Tell us about it." "Yes," said the colonel, "it is really true, and it happened in this way : It was during our advanoe upon Corinth ; several soldiers were talking to gether one day. A tall, ungainly, raw reoruit stepped up to them with a bundle of soiled olothes in his hand. 'Do you know where I can get this washing done?' he asked. "Two of the group were praotioal jokers ; a bright thought flashed into their heads and, as the sequel shows, unfortunately found expression. 'Oh, yes, we know ; just go up there with your bundle,' pointing to the head quarters of Gen Grant, 'you will seo a short, stout man, (describing the general,) who does washing. Take your bundle to him.' "The reoruit thanked them and walked off in the direction indicated. He gained entranced o the headquar ters, and stood in tho general's pres ence. 'What oan I do for you ?' said Gen. Grant. "I was direotcd here by a couple of soldiors. They told me that you did washing, and I have a bundle here.' "Gen. Grant probably enjoyed the situation, but his imperturbable face did not relax. He simply asked the questiou. 'Could you identify those men again ?" 'Yes, sir,' 'Very well, you shall have the chance.' Turning to an orderly, he directed him to call a guard, go with the re cruit to where tho jokers were stand ing roady to enjoy his discomfiture, and to let, him identify them. 'Take the men to the guard houso, give thom this man's bundle of olothing and make them wash it thoroughly See that the work is well done.' "The genoral was obeyed to the letter, and no more bundles of soiled olothes oamo to Gen. Grant's head quarters."-Treasure Trove. tu ihe K,ntl Von Haw Ahrays BougM Blgnttw* sf st get your ** Money's Worth r dek, about the price of Corn-? >ver the way thiy think that th fo right ahead paying two or thi yrsis of th<? goods will warrant* my of us struggle for reduction: better values that are open to c 3H an^ discretion in buying F able percentage of your money k if you will only buy your Fer ur celebrated G.

Your Passing Shadow J-S4 mmaKmmwmmmmmmmmwfnua Zionists May Settle in Palestine. A letter received by Zionists of New York from England says that the International Zionist congress, to be held at the Hague on August 15, will consider a proposal for the acquisition of* a tract of land in Pal estine larger thaa ?ay heretofore considers I for the purpose of Jewish co lo ii i?, a ti on. "The land," says the writer, "is not far distant from Haifa, wuiou promises in the future to supplant Jaffa as the port of landing in Pales tine. Thin proximity constitutes one of the principal grounds for bop ing for the successful exploitation of the property. The land will, it is believed, cost, together with inci dental expenses, some $500,000,000, and the idea, I believe, is to form a syndicate for the purpose of raising the money. Just Like a Dime Novel. i New York, July 25.-As the cul mination of a romance extracted from a dime novel, it became gene rally known Tuesday that Miss Marion Lush, a graduate nurse, 249 Emerson Plaoe, in Brooklyn, is the bride of Hilario Willowbird, a Moqui Indian. About ten months ago Miss Lush was traveling in the West with friends and one day the party stopped on the edge of a desert, near the Pueblo Mountains. She wandered away from the party that night and strayed into an Indian oamp, where a score or so of the Indians were dancing a snake dance. They were filled to the brim with "firewater" and, aooording to the young woman, suddenly deoided to emulate the deeds of their ances tors in torturing women. Miss LuBh says she was bound to a stake and the torch was applied, when Willowbird, like the hero in a play, appeared at the nick of time and put the offenders to rout. Re cently Willowbird oame to Brooklyn ?nd he ?nd the near victim of the Indians were married. War Against Consumption.

Lo, the Rich Indian. In round numbers, there are 284, 000 Indians in the United States at | the present time, 91,000 of whom are in Indian Territory and 15,000 in Oklahoma, or 106,000 in the ooming State. . Those of Indian Territory, the five civ'li*ed tribes-Cherokees, Creeks, Chootaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles-have been managing I their own affairs for two-thirds of a, oentury, and are in all respects flited for the citizenship whioh they are soon to exercise. All of these, and nearly all of those in the Oklahoma end of the coming State, wear oivi Used dress, and have sohools and churches and other accompaniments of civilization. Of the 103,000 Indians outside of Indian Territory, 116,000 wear civi lized dress, 70,000 speak th*) lan guage, and 38,000 are members of regularly established churches. They have $35,000,000 in the United States Treasury, on which they get $1,725,000 interest every year, and under treaties tho government pays them annually $76U,000 mor\i. The per oapita wealth among tho Indians is imidi greater than the $1,400 which represents the share of the rest of the 85,000,000 people in the $116,000,000,000 of available prop erty in the United States.

Gravesend, July 20.-While excavating on the site of the old Parish Church, where Pocahontas was buried, and whioh was destroyed by Are in 1727, workmen to-day unearthed a human skeleton. Much interest was evoked by the find, and it waa suggested that the bones might be those of Pocahontas. The skel eton was submitted to experte,who, how ever, were unable to arrive at any definite conclusion. The position of the skeleton when the workmen oame upon it, facing downward within two feet of the surfaoe, suggests a more recent burial than that of Poca hontas. Pocahontas died at Gravesend in 1027. In 1613 she ?was married tr John Rolfe, one of the settlers of Jamestown. I** 1616 Rolfe and his wife, in company with a number of Indians, sailed for England.
