Altogether the figures show that while we exported in the 10 months ending with Octobér, 1908, §22,000,000 worth of the output of our cotton mills, the nations sold to us almost 100 per cent. more than we sold to them. : _ It is a grotesque and almost unbelievable item in the commerce of this age that a rescurceful pation like America, the producer of the world's cotton, should buy back two dollars’ worth c¢f cotton goods for every dollar’'s worth it ships abroad. v : - ~ When our competitors buy from us eight or nine million bales of unmanufactured cotton, it is a mark ot their ep%erprise, not of ours. The greater part of our foreign trade is the result of suction from abroad, not of propulsion from America. The need of the nations is for our raw cotton and they send their ships to get it. If we were aborigines and raised cotton we couid sell it

ifor sixpence and regard the animal as an emblem of geed luck. 1 bave christened it Arranmare, and it will ”' accompany me wherever I may be riding.” _ Plant is by no means the only jockey who is superstitious. As a matter of fact, most joctKeys carry talismans in one form or another. These range from bits of straw and horseskin, acquired in some curious

manner, to jeweled whips and diamond pins presented by owners. A certain Newmarket stable apprentice who has ridden several winners this vear never rides without holding in his mouth a piece of straw, about three inches long, which he . found while in the stable one day on the back of the first horse he was asked to ride in a race. For some unaccountable reason he regarded the piece of straw as an omen of good Inck, more particularly after he won nhat‘ﬂrst race. ‘ :

The anaual external trade of even so dimingtive a country as the Netherlands exceeds the billlondollar mark. And this astounding increase 'in the trade of sations, creating vir tually a pew earth, & due In large measure to the volWme of cotton manufacture and the world-wide sale of cotton goods. We fail to keep in mind that in thatworld trafic America does pot share. We have been boasting of mere bulk—boasting while we have been ‘sending to industrial Europe the raw supply without which it ‘could not compete with America for a year. Gladstone estimated that the wealth accumulated by the nations during the first 50 years of the nineeteenth century equaled all that had been stored up by mankind in the preceding 1800 years, and that their multipiring fortunes between 1850 and 1870 duplicated the record of the foregoing fifty. So that in those 70 years the in- - crease of the world's wealth exceeded by 1060 per cent the piled-up treasures of all lands in “all the preceding centuries since the birth of Christ. And the accumulations since 1870 are literally beyond compute. ~ Such a world with its consuming power is the market that coufronts America, the country that alone possesses the commodity indispensable to the nations. Thus far we have neglected our stewardship. During. the last fiscal year we sold to the old world only a little over $4,000,000 worth of finished cotton goods. Our best customer in that part of the world was thé United King dom, whieh bought from us $1,852,984 worth. But while . ‘we were growing foolishly proud over that, England was selling us $23,165,382 worth of cotton goods spun of our material. The itemized columns, placed side by side, are ‘a reproath to resourceful America. Here is the record, preserved by our bureau of statistics:

. Bits of skin of famous racehorsasg of the plst are very much prized by | superstitious jockeys, who would as soon think of riding without a saddle as without this peculiar tailsman.

The federal hand has been busy building breakwaters, scooping out harbors and deepening waterways. NOow we are cutting a channel through the hemisphere. Conscious of our strength and in the presmcé/‘of bewildering achievements at home, we find it difficult to realize that our dominion pauses at the shores of our gcas. The decline of our merchant marine from the days of our great mchievements is not the result of any de-. crease in our national viger. The energy and genius of the American people have simply been withdrawn from the sea. We have expended our ingenuity and strength and riches in exploiting the continent, or at least the northern and western part of it, with thé result that we bave developed between the two great oceans the most successful industrial nation the world has known.

gstory is attached to this mascot. It | was sent to the jockey by an old lady who, requiring a certain.sum of money to aid her daughter and not knowing where to get it, had the idea of back: ing the horse ridden by this jockey. She got a friend to make the bet, and, the horse winning, she obtained all the money she required. Two or three days later the jockey received the little prayer book, with a note explaining the circumstances and saying it was the old lady's first and last bet. She would never forget the jockey,

ical thinking and train the mind while ‘affording opportunity for original work, I should choose whist. . “As a good {llustration of the resulis of- algebra, I recall a class of high school teachers who were taking ‘a summer lecture course at a unlver‘sity. There were four algehra teachers among them. Invariably these four were the ones who could not grasp the subtle points, had not heard what the professor said and needed further explanation . They spent most of their time in class worrying their neighbors with questions and locking over their neighbor's shoulder for a glimps= of her notebook. There is no reascnable excuse for fastening algebra upon the schools as an absolute requirement ” '~ Right Side the Best. ~ “She is trying to get on the right side of young Skads.” “She knows that a man's right arm is stronger than his left.”
