The Foojsli Bears
There had been a great time In the
Bear family deciding where to spend
H10 anmmpF
They at last decided to go to the
mountains and wrote to the hotel kept
by Mr. Monk for board.
"The terms are cheap." said Mr.
Bear, "but I see they don't take cull
dren. Whatever should we do about
Tiny?"
"Oh'leave that to rae," said the wife.
"There Is no reason why they should
not take our baby. He is so very good,
I If we could get hlm4n once, I know
r . . , 1 . . ... , i .
jiiey a ler-uim amy.
"Yes. and It says.'i continued Mr.
Bear, raiding, "that no pets are al
lowed In the rqpms, and you know we
Have to take Mr. Dooley, the parrot,
with us."
"Oh, I'll fix all that." answered bis
clever wife. "This Is the plan: We will
put Tiny In your dress suit case and
"BACK TO HI WOODS !"
get him up to the room, and it wlll.be
all right. Then, if we have to, we can
leave Dooley In the hall at tie hotel."
"No, you don't," thought Dooley, who
was listening. "If they don't take me
In their room, I will give the whole
thing away."" " ,
Well, the day was set, and after i
long journey they all reached Coon
town and went up to Mr. Monk's ho
tel. Mr. Bear took the pen and regis
tered, "Mr. and Mrs. Bear."
"Any children?" asked the clerk. .
"None whatever," answered Mr.
Bear.
"Well, jrou can't take that parrot up
stairs," said the clrk.
"Oh, no, of course not," said Mr.
Bear swet'tly. "We expect to leave hlra
on the porch."
"Leave nothlu' on the porch!" yelled
Dooley. "Take that kid out of the
bag."
"Shut up!" yelled Tiny from Inside.
It wus all spoiled. The secret whs
out. Mrs. Bear took Tiny out of the
bag, while the clerk leaned over the
counter -and grinned.
"Back to the woods!" yelled the par
rot. "What did I tell you?" said Mr. Bear
sadly. "It pays best to be honest."

RfcSCLT Of CHICAGO CALAWIT.
Ciiicaoo, Dec. fcor the fiHt
time since Chicago has possessed bells
to peal, whistles to shriek and horns to
blow, the ol$year wu allowed silently
to take its place in histqjj an the New
Year permitted to oome with no evi-
itdence of joy at its birth.
In an official aroclamation issued this
afternoon by Mayor iDarter H. Harri
son, be made the, suggestion that the
usual New 4'eaf evefelebration be for
this time omitted. I he idea found a
ready response In the hearts of the peo
ple and the mayor's words, in fact,
only gave utterance tothe unexpressed
thoughts that had fillecUhem all.
The list of dead continues as it was
given out last night, in the neighbor
hood of 560. It is generally accepted
al this time thatihe most accurate ea
t' rant is 564. This number will be in
creased somewhat, as there are people
in the hospitals who cannot survive for
any length of time. It is believed,
however, that the total number of cas
ualities at the present time is approxi
mately 1,000. There are among the
missing the names of many who are at
their homes and of some who were not
at the theatre at all. In the first ex
citement following thb calamity these
people were reported by their relatives
as among the missing and numbers of
them have since returned to their homes
and nd report of this fact has been
made' to police headquarters. Their
names, however, still swell the list. The
names of the dead who are still to be
identified have been substracted from
the list of the missing and it is probable
that the extent of the catastrophe will
be fully revealed. .
There was animated discussion today
among firemen, employee of the theatre
and architects as to the cause of the
fire. Accounts differ today as widely
as they varied last night. Theatrical
people are practically a unit in declaring
that the fire started with an explosion,
and in this Uiey-are flatly contradicted
by scores of people in the audience who
declare they saw the fire creeping along
the edge of the curtain for several min
utes before the explosion took place.
The Colonel's Eyesight.
The Btory of the Kentucky colonel
who went to Hot Springs for treatment
for his eyes was recalled the -other
night by a few incidents at the Union
station. " ,
. The Kentucky colonel saw his sweet
heart in company with another, and
when he questioned her she denied it.
He was for some time in a study
whether to believe bis sweetheart or
to believe his eyesight, and his implicit
confidence in the woman led him to
take the treatment for bis eyes.
The clock at the hour of 7 p. m
showed, the hour to be 5 p. m. A
young man stopped on the corner of
Jackson Place and Illinois street and
waited " for a car, While there he
noticed several people look at the clock,
walk a few steps, turn and look . again,
and all invariably stopped- and look a
third time. He became interested and
stopped several persons, asking them
why they had looked so many times
at the clock. Six persons said they
thought the hour was later than that
shown by the clock, but tbey couldn't
believe they had looked aright the first
time. Most of them though they must
have made some mistake even the
second time.

I PL, UNOPENED BOLLS.
-
Tezaa Farmers jUaka Successful Ex
periments. In a card to The Dallas Nets, W. G.
Veable,f Sherman,Texas, gives the
result of some experiments In handling
the unopened cotton bolls that have
formerly been a totajyostf to the farm
ers of the state. He says :
"W. T. Block, a farmer living near
Gunter, Texas, brought to the Gunten
gin a loaj of cotton bolls, having
mushed them , with his hand as he
pulled them from the stalks, and they
were fed, burrs and all, directly into
the gin stands. The; load of bolls
weighed 1,740 pounds, the outcome
was a bate of cotton weighing 505
pounds. Messrs. Stephens Bros. &
Alljson, of Gunter, exaressed a sample
to Messrs. Birge, Forbes & Co., of
'Sherman, and they graded it as strict
ordinary. Messrs. Stephens Bros. &
Allison bought the bale, paying 10
cents per pound for it, thereby netting
the farmer $63.86. saw the scale
weights and ticket for the Jbale myself
and I can produce forty men in Gunter
who will vouch for the correctness of
the above statement. I went on down
to Ceiina, Collin county, and was show
ing Mr. Cunningham the above figures
and he told me that they had been ex
perimenting along the same lints, hav
ing turned out that day, December 17,
a bale weighing 506 pounds from a
wagon load of bolls weighing 1,510
pounds, that brought 1.35 cents,
bringing its owner, L. M. Clark,
$57.43. , ...
"These are 'not hearsays, but cold
blooded facts, and figures that can be
verified by writing to any of the above
named parties or any other citizen of
these two towns, and it is of the great
est importance that these facts be pre
sented to the farmers and gin men of
our state, that they ma go to work be
fore it is too late to save the thousands
of bale's of cotton that are locked up in
unopened bolls in our broad fields,
thus greatly adding to th material
prosperity of our great state."
Husata'a Cotton Crop.
American cotton growers will be in
terested in the reports which the De
partment of Commerce and Labor has
received from Russian consular sources
that last session was not favorable for
cotton growing in that country, the
crop being 13.1 per cent. lets than that
of 1002. -One of these reports made
public says, in part :
"The area devoted to American cotton
has diminished 32.5 per cent., while
that devoted to native cotton has in
creased 32.2 per cent. The cotton plant
suffered a great deal from the grass
hoppers during -the fall of 1001. The
Russian planters, fearing a recurrence
of this pest, did not plant cotton in the
zones affected. The system of borrow
iog 'money on the cotton crop has also
caused the cultivation of this crop to
decline, it cotton has been 'bulled'
on the market, when the time comes
for its delivery the producer loses. On
the other hand, there is such a compe
tition' between the buyers that thev do
not derive as much profit as they other
wise would. The broker, once he has
received his commission, is not troubled
about the condition of the cotton,
since it is already paid for, while the
producers seeing that he will receive no
great benefit, mixes stones, dirt, tow,
etc.. in the cotton. Another cause of
the decline of the culture of cotton
is the fact that the soil has become
exhausted through continual cropping."

TUB CHICAGO DISASTER.
Baltimore Sun.
A fire at the Iroquois Theatre,
Cbicago, Wednesday, supplemented by
the panic that is usually produced by
the unnecessary and alarming cry of
"Fire I " caused the death, it is said, of
some 636 persons, converting a holiday
matinee performance of 'Blue Beard,
Jr.," for the amusemgnt of children,
into a melancholy disaster. The scene
of the chief loss of life, it appears, was
in the balconies to the street. In the
balconies many were sufforcated by
smoke and burned by inflamed gas,
being unable lo gain exit by the stair
wys which were ob8tructed by the
mad rush of others. Here hundreds
of bodies were found, piled eight or
ten feet deep iuan inextricable con
fusion, the fierce fight for life being
illustrated by the postures of the dead.
Frantic fear demoralized the escaping
playgoers, with the result that many of
them particularly the women and
children were trampled upon and
killed. . But for the panic, which too
often converts normally humane per
sons into senseless and selfish brutes,
the proportion of killed and injured
would probably have been compara
tively small. Had the exit from the
upper floors been attempted in a quiet
and orderly manner all, or nearly all,
would have bad a fair chance of escape.
Only a trifling percentage of the mor
tality was caused directly by the tire.
It was panic and the brutal Bell'whnefs
always developed by panic, it appears,
that swelled the list of dead and in
jured to such extraordinary dimension'.
The moral of the Chicago disaster
of which there are many analogues in
our annals is that it is the duty of
municipat authorities to see that
theatre exits are ample, and that it is
the duty of theatre-goers to remember
in case of fire that panic kills more in
a few seconds than fire can kill in as
many minutes. Calmness, self-control
and deliberation re qualities to be cul
tivated by all who frequent large assem
blies. The worst of fires takes an ap
preciable time to spread from the stage
to the balconies and other similarly
situated parts of a theatre, so that a
mad rush for exits are rarely justified
by circumstances.
A Kegro may Whip Ills Wile,
Charlotte Observer.
Dan Bryce, colored, a barber by trade
was charged with an assault on his wife.
The complainant, Jane Bryce,
the trouble was caused by a dollar
which she had spent buying Christmas
tricks. She said her husband gave her
the dollar and she thought she had
right to spend it as she saw fit, but
Daniel seemed to think otherwise.
After making her drink whiskey
against her will, said Jane, her affec
tionate husband knocked her down,
bit her left ear, choked her and hurt
her in the back.
Dan Baid he went home yesterday
and found bis wife out in the street
drunk with a lot of other women. The
sight so enranged him lhat he slapped
his wife nothing more.
Mr. Chase Brenizer, who appeared
for the defendant, called the court's at
tention to the fact that in the old times
the law gave a man the right to whip
his wife, provided he did not use a
stick larger than his thumb. "I think,
may it please you honor," said Mr,
Brenizer, "that this ought, to include
slapping the wife." The attorney then
called the recorder's attention to a re
cent ruling by Judge Hoke to the effect
that a negro had the right under the
command law to whip his wtfe.
The recorder was inclined to the
opinion that Judge Hoke had adopted
a precedent established by the muni-
capal court of Charlotte. VI course
Daniel was discharged.

COTTON AND T PROBLEMS.
Southern Farm Magazine.
Is there f ny serjous danger of a per
manent decrease in the cotton crop of
the South, or rather, is there any dan
gor'of the South failing to increase its
cotton production rapidly enough to
meet he increasing demands of the
world ? It is claimed that there is such
axdanger, and that the present condi
tions are not temporary, but thVt tbey
are indicative of the South's inability,
without some radical change, to ma
terially increase its cotton crop. - It is
claimed:
. 1. That there is a gradual deteriora
tion of the seed, due to the Belling of
the best seed to the cotton-oil mills.
2. That the tenantry system, has less
ened the fertility of the soil.
3. That there can be no large in
crease witRbut a material gain in popu
lation, as the induscrial development
of the South has drawn many hands
from the cotton fields to railroads, min
ing and kindred work.
These points and many others have
their advocates. The danger from the
boll-weevil is freely admitted, but as
that, in its present shape, is a new
problem, its influence cannot yet be
measured, and it may at this time be
omitted from the discussion, although
it may prove to be the greatest factor
in the cotton question.
