Tiie letter sa; in part: "The Southern Cotton associatio will not ask the farmers of tl: South to reduce the cotton acreag for 190G less than that planted i 1905. The association does as! and insists with all the force at il command, however, that the belt i 1905 be not increased during tl planting se iSon ot 1906.

"The present estimated 29,000,OC acres planted in cotton is sufficiei utider normal climate conditions I produce enough cotton to meet tt demands of the spinners for th American staple.

Atlanta, Ga., Dec, 10:?Richai Cheatham, secretary of the Soutl em Cotton association, in an opt letter to the cotton growers of tl South to-dav, urg_*s them lo ho! I T for 15 cents. He says in part: 4'The cotton growers of the Sout! through and with the assistance < their organization, the Southe< Cotton association, are slowly bi surety winning the greatest cor aiercial brittle ever known to tl world. "On Septemlier 7th the assoc at'on advised the farmers to ask 1 cents for their cotton, ascmditioi fully warranted that price. Man fixed that price and sold for it. ' Now, the fact that the <;rop very short has been established b yond the shadow of a doubt, and 01 ly a small remnant of that left ui sold, also that tde markets are bai of dry goods with future prio formally advanced, cotton mills a loaded down with contracts and oi ders for goods for several montl ahead, and oaly with about om half enough cotton in sight to fi them. Hold your cotton for ] cents. "Hundreds of thousands of bal are being pledged to the Southei Cotton association for 15 cent enough to force the price to its vali ' very soon." * ' THE STORY OF A HAT. m An Amusing Experience Except to Those Interested. An amusing story?that is to say, n | amusing to any but the parties di-! ie rectlv concerned?is told to account j je for the marked coolness between two j n society belles. One of them gave a garden party: k' recently, and the other,T ho was invited and whom we may call Miss n A., was greatly chagrined to hear le from her milliner that a new hat she ie had ordered for the occasion could not possibly be ready in time. Anx?r ious to appease her customer's d wrath, however, the milliner offered >f to lend her something from her h fhoPThe offer was grudgingly accepted, and Miss A. appeared at the ^ garden party wearing a dainty conit fection of chiffon and flowers. ?o She was somewhat startled at the i, look of surprise and bewilderment with which the hostess regarded her headgear. l* "Oh, don't look at my hat," said >6 Miss A. "The fact is my milliner ? disappointed me at the last moment, and this is some wretched cheap thing she lent me until ray new hat e" is ready." d "Indeed!" said the hostess in >r freezing accents. "It seems to me a *3 more stylish and ladylike hat than you have ever worn before. But as for the milliner, I'll never forgive tr her. She has behaved disgracefully re and ought never to be patronized 11 again!" ig Between the coolness of her re. ception and the fervor with which the hostess denounced the milliner ie Miss A. was fairly nonplused. Then she sought counsel of a inena. "Whatever . is the matter with ; her?" she asked, having explained n the circumstances. ^ "T sliould say," was the friend's reply, "it is because you are wearing her hat, for I happen to know that le she bought that identical one at , your milliner's yesterday and left it , Whind to have some alterations made, and I don't think your rele marks on it were calculated to je soothe her feelings!"?London Tit>f Bit? 111 A Captain of Industry. ie For several days the policeman ?r on the beat had observed a small >n boy who spent the most of his time lounging near a downtown street crossing and seemed to have nothing to do. ^)ne morning he accosted him. [; "Tommy," he said, "or whatever your name is, you do entirely too ' much loafing around here.' Hadn't 1you better be at home?" nt *'I ain't loafin'," indignantly rel; plied the boy. "I got a reg'ler job ,y. nere.' "You've got a-job ? What is it ?" "De guy wot owns dis store pays W me a dollar a week fur keepin' dis a, crossin' swept clean." "But 1 never see you doing any 2 work," said the policeman. "Course not," returned the boy. l' "I takes de money an' lets out de [1; job fur 50 cents a week to de kid er wot's out dere sweepin' de crossin' )0 now. lie gits his pay reg'ler an' don't have to do no head work huntin' jobs."?Youth's Companion. A Story of Tom Reed. Among the prominent men of New England there was none perhaps who wore a larger collar than Tom Reed. One hot day in the summer of 1901 Reed was in Ports- , mouth, and having to wait over for i it- a train he decided to make an im- 1 promptu toilet, changing his collar, etc. So he hied himself to the nearrd est haberdasher's and began a genti eral survey of the collars displayed i ... in the store. "Waited on. sir?" que ;il | ? "? - * - ried one of the clerks. "Not yet," ; }e! responded Reed, and then added, "I would like a collar." "What size?" Siped the clerk. "Size 20," answered !eed. "We don't keep collars so ^ large, but I think you may be ac- , t commodated at the store just 11 around the corner." Reed found the tit store around the corner to be a harn ness shop. \e !

One group took the vegetable after it had been ^1 sterilized by tailing and all germs Pj thus destroyed and the other afifc it _ had been sprinkled over with dust r or with' the soil in which the carrots had been grown. Of seventeen subjects in t he tirst group twelve died before those in the second, and the A investigation shewed that the total u absence of genus in the sterilized food impaired the digestion and low- a crod the assimilative power of the + animals. Only five altogether were C lo-t of the irroup fed on the germ containing food. ? Springfield Republican. ^ T For Inflamed Eyes.
