I forgot the name o' the place where the other is, but it's near by the other.' "' 'Tis San Francisco, Patrick,' prompted his wife. " 'Sure, and it is,' said the cobbler.

What animal has bristly hair, is dirty all the time and loves getting in the mud?" A small boy raised a timid hand. "Well, Allan," said the teacher, "tell us what it is."

WOODROW WILSON Wife of the President of the United States. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, who dii-d last Thursday at the White House, was before her marriage Miss Ellen Louise Axson, daughter of Samuel Edward and Margaret Jane (Hoyt) Axson. She was born in Savannah, Ga., and there she received her early education at home before entering the Woman's college at Rome. Ga. In the latter city, her father, a Presbyterian minister, | had a church. Until the death of her parents, Mrs. Wilson spent most of her time in Rome, but subsequently [ she went to Gainesville, Ga., where she lived with a maternal aunt. During her early years she also was accustomed to make long visits to her uncle, Randolph Axson, and her grandfather, the Rev. I. S. K. Axson, in Savannah. In her girlhood. Mrs. Wilson developed a love of art that was never diminished by her widening interest in other things. Finishing her college pHnratinn she went to New York and studied there at the Art Students, League. It was in that city she was wooed by Woodrow Wilson. She was married in Savannah in the old home of her parents, and her grandfather, acceding to her wishes, performed the ceremony. The homestead in which they became man and wife was an object of moving interest to her and Mr. Wilson when they visited Savannah in the spring of 1912. An account of their wedding, which was in the summer when many of Mrs. Wilson's friends were away, appeared in the Savannah Morning News of Thursday, June 25, 1885. The notice was printed in the "Local Personals" because there was no "society column" in those days. The announcement read: Miss Ellen Lou Axson, daughter of the late Rev. Edward Axson, of this city, and Mr. Wilson, son of the Rev. J. R. Wilson, of Wilmington, N. C., wrre miirrieu i?i?i r veiling ai mc iv??dence of the Rev. I. S. K. Axson, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church. The ceremony was performed by the bridegroom's father and the bride's grandfather. The nuptials were celebrated quietly, only the intimate friends and relatives of the contracting parties being present. Following their marriage Mr. Wilson became a member of the first faculty of Byrn Mawr College, where he became professor of history and political economy. Later they went to Middletown, Conn., when Professor Wilson was called to a chair in Wesleyan university. Her last years as the wife of a college professor were spent in Princeton, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have three daughters. The first is Miss Margaret Wilson, who is an accomplished singer, devoted to outdoor sports and books as well. The second was Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, who, as the "thir Kfirla " Imnomo icrillll ?* 11 lie Xiuuoc W1IUV, wvvu?iiv the wife of Francis Bowes Sayre, formerly of the staff of the district attorney of New York. The third was Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the president's youngest daughter, who was married recently to Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo, one of Mr. Wilson's closest political advisers. Mrs. Wilson was the companion of her husband and she also was just as much the companion of her daughters. Her household was a democratic and therefore a simple one. In their home life the president was very dependent on her. She was occupied with providing for his comfort and often guarded him against intruders when the president wanted to be quiet. Mrs. Wilson had a love of books, such as her husband's and constantly they read together and in the family circle. Mrs. Wilson took entire charge of the education ot her daughters until they attained the age of 12 and were ready to enter a private school in preparation for their college training. Poetry, art and nature were her chief interests. Among her favorite poets were Milton, Browning and Wordsworth. She also was a lover of Shakespeare. It was *he belief of Mrs. Wilson that the modern woman had a duty to the community in addition to her home. Although she was not unduly fond of society she was a charming hostess in private life, later winning the admiration of all who knew her as mistress of the White House. At the White House Mrs. Wilson established most democratic ideas. Her receptions were marked by simplicity, but she presided with grace and cul ture. At no time did she allow her position as the lirst lady of the land to make others ill at ease. Guests at her small receptions felt as much at home in the White House as if they were her guests at the simple home of her early days at Princeton. While tradition tixed the character of the state receptions, in which .Mrs. Wilson made no marked innovations aside from discarding wines, in the smaller affairs at the White House her personality was most marked. She gave many musicals in the afternoons, to which she invited intimate friends to hear celebrities and well-known amateurs. The White House became the home of the friends of the early days of the Wilsons, and the hospitality extended was simple and home-like. Mrs. Wilson had not appeared at any of the White House affairs for many months. Her last public appearance was at a reception to the army and navy on February 22. This overtaxed her strength, and since that time she had not been seen even by her intimate friends. Mrs. Wilson was sincerely interested in manv charitable activities She was in close personal touch with nearly every charitable, corrective or educational institution in New Jersey. She knew every detail of the war against tuberculosis and she was equally lamiliar with the work to help feebleminded children. Mrs. Wilson was deeply interested in the cause of juvenile delinquents. In her lirst days in Washington, she became most active in civil reform movements. She was instrumental in forming the housing movement to build tenement houses along the lines oi the Uctavia Hall tenements in Philadelphia. She was interested personally in the Southern Educational and industrial association which has as its purpose the encouragement of industry in the homes of the poor of the south. One room in the White House was furnished entirely by workers under the supervision of the association. Her kindness of heart was disclosed Ill till lllll'ItVi' JIIK ? i?.> lil^L 1 tl I I VI IIVM the wife <>f the president went to the government printing oiliee to ascertain whether the employes were workGERMAN CAV &>"* ?< .. ?2 . ing under favorable conditions. Mrs. Wilson arrived at the printing office unannounced. She was met by H. E. Terry, a messenger, and when she told the messenger who she was, Terry suggested that the "Public Printer be notified." Mrs. Wilson, however, insisted on being treated like an ordinary visitor, so Terry escorted her through the various shops, and the public printer knew nothing of it until she had gone. The messenger unknowingly violated the rules of the office. The next morning Terry learned that he was to be dismissed or have his salary reduced. He called on a member of congress whom he knew, and asked for aid. The congressman called up the public printer, who promised to take the matter up with the president, but before the public printer could reach the White House, Mrs. Wilson learned of the trouble of ...u:,.u oV,n innnnonllv ?' !? t h ejlllSO and the reinstatement of Terry followed. While mistress of the White House. Mrs. Wilson made other visits among government employes in behalf of welfare work. Her observations in the mail bag repair shops, conducted by the postoffice department, where many women were engaged, sewing up torn mail pouches, brought to the attention of the proper officials the ict that there was a lack of sanitary i onditions in the shops and that tuberculosis and other diseases were prevalent in the establishment. She paid numerous visits to the alley slums of Washington and attended many meetings there at which social welfare work was discussed. Her friends regarded Mrs. Wilson as distinctively a soumern woman m many ways. She was youthful in appearance without loss of motherly charm. She had soft, brown hair and brown eyes, a fair complexion and often a smile that suggested what were her pleasant thoughts.?Philadelphia Ledger. COTTON MUST BE HELD Congressional Committee Gives Advice as to Situation. Washington, August 7.?In an address to the cotton growers and people of the cotton growing state made public tonight, the congressional committee which volunteered several days ago to seek measures which would prevent serious consequences to the south because of the European war, declared: "Our message to you is?otanu mm. Sell cotton only as a last necessity." Members of the committee, headed by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, after a careful investigation of conditions up to the present time, gave it as their mature judgment that the least possible cotton should be put on the market during the next sixty days, asserting that the agencies of the Federal government, both executive and legislative, were doing all possible to relieve the strain of the situation caused by the lack of transportation facilities and the danger of facing no market abroad. They called for unselfish co operation among mo iarmers, merchants and bankers of the south for the common good, and declared: Not In Midst of Panic. "It should be understood that we are not in the midst of a panic, nor is a financial panic possible under our new banking and currency laws; and it is not necessary for us to throw our cotton upon the market at prices less than its real value." The statement of the congressional committee follows: "We recognize the fact that cotton is the money crop of the southern people and any situation which vitally effects it? value must be felt by ail lines of commercial and industrial activities. "While the condition of war in Europe gives rise to a situation which is serious, we believe that it can be greatly overcome if all agencies, national and local, promptly and vigorously respond to their respective duties. "Your president, the several executive branches of the government, and your senators and representatives are exerting every effort to devise means by which the cotton crop may be marketed at a price warranted by a normal law of supply and demand, and not by a condition caused by the European war. Important Problems. "The important problem involved in this situation are: "First, transportation. It is essential that the lint cotton and cotton manufactured fjoods should reach foreign markets where they may be consumed. We are confident congress will pass within a few days an amendment to our shipping laws which will greatly facilitate transportation. We have no doubt transportation facilities will be available for cotton and cotton manufactured goods within a very short time. "Second, consumption of cotton. The European war must necessarily reduce temporarily the demand and consumption of our cotton. The state department has cabled our consuls abroad for detailed information. From the information we have received, we are confident the consumption, domestic and ioi'if.,11, in (mii v. (' 11 * m i win i?r hum ii larger than is generally supposed. The mills of the United States and Canada will consume approximately half of our production, and the demand for American cotton by Great Britain and the Orient will not be greatly reduced. Great Britain consumes nearly half of our exported cotton. Eleven million bales of our cotton should he absorbed by the trade, even under the most aggravated conditions. Reassuring Facts. These facts should be most reassuring, and should entirely dispel the idea that our foreign trade in cotton will be wiped out. "Third, money to market the crop and care for the surplus. Already the ALRY DIVISION DURING I? *' secretary of the treasury has arrangto deposit in southern banks the sum of $20,000,000. He desires this used especially to handle the cotton crop. During the present week your congress has passed an emergency currency bill, under the terms of which not less than $1,500,000,000 of additional currency will be available to meet every emergency that may arise. "The reserve banks, under the new banking and currency act, will speedily organize. They will accept notes secured by agricultural products. This insures ample money for moving the SERVIA'S WAR MINISTER ;>K; Miles Bozanovitch, the man of the hour In Servia. crop and to rare for such distress cotton as may come upon the market and also to keep in operation the factories and various industries necessary for the consumption of the crop. Financial Situation Good. "The financial situation of the country could not he better, and when it is understood that the treasury department stands ready to lend its great power to prevent a sacrifice of the cotton crop, a ieelin.it of confidence and assurance should come to us all. "Fourth, local co-operation. The agencies of the Federal government, both executive and legislative, are doing all possible to relieve the strain of the situation. While the power of the government is great, it should not he over-estimated. We desire to impress emphatically the necessity for the most cordial and unselfish co-operation among the farmers, merchants and bankers of the south, to the end that every local effort and every local agency shall he brought into action in the interest of the common good. Conferences Helpful. "We believe that conferences in the respective states and localities would be most helpful. They would furnish the machinery through which the problem in all of its phases can be thoroughly considered and dealt with under the peculiar environment of each state and community. Accurate information as to warehousing facilities should be gathered for your local use and furnished to your senators and representatives in congress at the earliest moment. "It is our mature judgment that the least possible amount of cotton should be put on the market during the next sixty days, for it is our belief that the combined strength of the Federal government and state and local agencies, coupled with the inherent loyalty of will mnl.'A it lifts sible for the cotton crop to he marketed without sacrifice." Claims the South Will Not Suffer.? According to telegrams received by New York hanks and hankers, says an Associated Press dispatch, the cotton planters in the south are much alarmed over the foreign situation in its relation to their interests. Some of the telegrams stated in substance that a continuance of the war would reduce the demand for cotton by fully 3.1 per cent. In response to one of these communications. A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the Chase National bank, has sent the following telegram to Congressman Cnderwood at Washington: "The south is unnecessarily alarmed over the prospective reduction in de m;inil for and price of cotton in view of the general European war. European manufacturers may not require the usual amount of cotton, but American manufacturers will require it all. "It is inevitable that all oversea trade of Germany will be at the mercy of any nation which first seeks it and can best serve the former patrons of Germany, < >f all nations, the United Slates is in the best position to take and hold the trade. Merchants, manufacturers, bankers and statesmen should work together for that purpose. "First, liberalize our shipping laws. Germany supplied the coarse and cheaper cotton trade of Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, Asia and the Orient generally. "There will be no embargo on the commerce of the Pacific. < )ur cotton should go abroad not as raw material, but as a finished product, and when the war of Europe is over we should hold largely tile trade that now is waiting to fall into our hands."

Washington, August 6.?The department of agriculture has issued the following statement: There are three ways of paying off borrowed money. (1) The borrower pays the interest annually or semi-annually, and at the expiration of the loan pays the full amount of the principal. (2) The borrower pays the interest annually or semi-annually, and at different periods in addition, pays off a portion of the principal.

'X Discoveries of extensive deposits of limestone and silica in the Philippines have led to the formation of a company to manufacture cement 1 there. the borrower is such as to meet all Interest charges and wipe out the debt at the end of its term. The advantages of this method are that the debt is discharged by easy regular payments, and the borrower is not called upon in any one year to raise a considerable sum of money to discharge the capital of his debt. Under this system he must set aside from each year's profits or income a proper proportion to meet his indebtedness. This frees him from the temptations of using money that should go toward paying his debt in one year for other purposes, because of an optimistic belief that next year's crops or income will make it easier t?i tinv twice that amount.
