Good Cotton Picking.
The best cotton picking we have heard
of this season was performed by Billie and
Johnnie Coleman, of Dodge county. In
one day they picked 207 pounds, each,
making Billie 414 pounds for tne day’s work.
Coleman picked 826 pounds in
five days.

people never had an idea that aniplck a rrr

cotton, and that It was customary for

the fields, and sit and pick in a
comfortable way. Gen. Warren was an
Baptist preacher k count!? nlo
Youm loungiii 1 Pli told .told the thn old old gentleman one

FOR SWEET CHARITY’S SAKE.
Christmas eve in New York. The
crowds surged to and fro Happy-faced
ehihlren, warmly clad lingered at
windows to look at the Christmas treasures
so temptingly displayed therein. Luxurious
carriages with spirited horses and glittering
harness stood waiting before jewelry stores
and toy shops, soon to roll home laden with
presents for many a pleasant surprise on
Christmas morning.
All seemed ioyous and happy. Sorrow
had almost shrunk away, only tho few
beggars still q^tho streets looked hungrier
and more hollow-eyed than ever.
Rex Danforth, artist, walked leisurely
along the brilliantly lighted streets. It was
dusk and the lamps were ail burning, lend¬
ing the enchantment of gaslight to tho
varied scene.
Mr. Danforth surveyed it all with cool,
indifferent eyes. It was no new sight to
him, for he had visited some of the fairest
cities in the world ; had studied all kinds
of human faces, and now the sight of this
eager, joyous life did not make his pulses
throb any quicker than they were wont
to do, and they were very calm as a general
thing.
He was wealthy, an artist from a pure love
of art. He was tall and fair, with a noble
Saxon face, blonde beard and splendid dark,
steel blue eyes, thirty years old with every
day of his age stamped on his proud face.
He was a man well worth wining as lover
or friend.
Snowflakes began to fall, noiselessly
wrapping the world in a mantle of the soft
test ermine ; soon the merry jingie of sleigh
bells would fill the crisp air with their
music. Mr. Danforth paused for an instant
to look at his watch, and a little trembling
voice said :
“Give me a penny, for sweet charity's
sake.”
A small figure stood at his side. Two

in the pitiful, pleading voice touched his
heart, and he said kindly :
“Who are you child ?”
“Lee Henslee.”
“Where do you live?”
“I don’t live anywhere, now. I did live
with my aunt but she is dead,” with a sob.
A great throb of pity stirred Rex Dan¬
forth's heart and he put out his hand
aDriiptiy said.
“How would you like to come and lire
wit h me and be my little girl 1”
“May, I really and truly?”
“Yes, really and truly,” with a smile,
a look of joy unspeakable overspread the
wan childish face. The pale lips of the
child touched his hand . in gratitude.

was right with her, so when he brought, the
elfish-looking little beggar girl with him
and said he had adopted her, she made no
objections but received her kindly.
It was fairy land to Lee. The luxurious
rooms ’ brilliant H « hts ’ and g lo ' vi "R fires

Six years later, in the dreamy glow of a
September d*y, a ship stemmed into New
York harbor. A tall man, a young girl, and
a middle-aged lady stood on the deck,
watching for the first glimpse of familiar
]and marks
“How good it is to be home again,” said
Miss Jane Danforth, with a smile of
satisfaction, as they entered the carriage
waiting h-.ixm.mm. for them.

Save the . few , gras o lines in Ills face, Rev
Danforth looked the same at thirty-six as
at thirty. The years had brought him fame
and he stood with the few American artists
that could claim the gift of genius.

as if they , had never been absent.
Lee was soon drawn into tile circle of
fashionable society. Those who remem¬
bered her former life chose to forget it now,
and paid their court to the ward and heiress
of Rex Danforth with great ardor.
She was soon a belle, with scores, of
lovers, all of whom slis refused. There
was one, however, that wouldn't take no
for an answer, and persisted in his atten¬
tions.
The months passed rapidly and Christmas
eve came again. Rex Danforth sat facing
the possibility of losing Lee for all time.
He had never thought of this before.
Never dreamed of losing her, till on tho
new Christmas eve when Ralph Hawthorne
came to him, and asked permission to win
Lee for his wife. The young man was
rich and a gentleman, so there could bo no
objection to him, and with a pain in his
heart that few can ever feel, he gave his
consent.
Then for once he laid down brush anil
colors, and sat gazing out of the window
with eyes full of stem sadness, and lips
closely compressed.
His love was no light thing. It filled his
heart and life. He had never loved any
woman before, and thought he would
rather Lee was dead than the wife of
another.
Dusk came on, and Lee nenslee sat in
the warm, dimly lighted library, thinking

that nothing could frighten him, proved au
