WEEKLY COTTON LETTER September 20, 1021 Advices from New York and New Orleans are to the effect that investment buying sets in at 18.50 to 10c. and cotton is sold out when figures above 20c can be obtained. Private Bhreaus report the estimated condition at this time to be around 38.5 to 40.0. including a yield of 6,000,000 to 6,500,000 bales. If the Government's Report to be published on October 3rd shows a low figure a rapid advance may follow. It is possible that a great many private reports of a bullish nature may frighten. the trade and cause an advance 1 ? Deiore uciuutrr oiu.

"I know him, St. Peter, know him well j To escape from me he'd go to hell; Rut St. Peter. I need him here. And hope you can see your way clear.

They're cut too wide with an out/ ward toss; They'd look better narrow and straight across." St. Peter sat quiet and stroked his staf! Rut in spite of his office had to laugh; Then said, with a fiery gleam in his eye: "Who's tending this gate, Maggie, you or I?" Then ho arose in his stature tall And pressed a button upon the wall And said to the imp who answered the bell: "Escort this female around to hell.' Slowly Jiggs turned, bv habit bent To follow wherever Maggie went. St. Peter, standing on duty there, Saw that the top of his head was bare He called the old boy back and -aid: "Jiggs. how long has thou been wed?' "Thirty years" (with a weary sigh) ?

St. Peter was silent with head bent down; j He raised his hand and scratched hi.crown; | Then, seeming a different thought tc take, Slowly half to himself he spake: "Thirty yours with tn.it woman mere ; No wonder the man hasn't anv hair Swearing is wicked; smoking's nol good; lie smoked and swore I should think he would! | "Thirty years with that tongue st sharp?

The historic Thirteenth century ' treasure of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, which was stolen from the saint's shrine at Marburg last November, has 2 been recovered, according to the Rer. lin correspondent ' of the London 3 Tillies, after having been buried in the buck garden of a London subur, ban house. The recovery is due to the vigilance of the Frankfort police. Six men toAk pnrt In the robbery last November, J and five of them were arrested soon after. There- was, however, no sign > of the stolen treasury and the men ohstlnntelv denied all knowledge of . [t Eventually, the police got up to the irori- ,,f tiip sixth man, Emil Kell mnn. It was found thnt In the meantime he had heen to London; he was t watched, however, and on his return he was arrested. During his detention the Inquiries of the detective led the police to believe that Kelltnan had hidden the jewels In England. It was assumed that if lie were set free, he > would probably get them. He was i therefore let out on bail; at the same time he was kept under strict hut I secret surveillance by the police. On June 1"? Kelltnan went to London to fetch the jewels and on his return a ) few days ago he was rearrested at Cleves on the Gernyin Dutch frontier, where he was taken red-handed with the missing jewels and pearls, 174 In number, hidden In his clothes. II Rush to Stake Gold Claims. It Is reported that gold hunters are swarming over the country drained by the Wapshe river, New Brunswick, and panning the sands of the stream in search of the yellow metal. The prospectors are looking for the Gllbertson lode. The story is told how Gilbert son made a canoe trip up the , river some sixty years ago, and while making camp for the night came across a large body of gold-bearing ore. Not knowing what it was, he took home a large piece to use as a .door weight. Some time later a geologist. visiting Gilhertsnn, identified the ore, and a mad rush to stake claims along the Wapshe river ensued. Gilbertson refused to tell where ' he found the ore. Later he became Insane, and died without revealing the ! secret. This season ft systematic search is being made. Students in Occidental Schools.
