That was to be a banner year for cot* ton, at least all Southerners thought so and backed their judgment aeoord iogly. Early in the spring of that year Mr. Grady went to Florida on a fishing trip with a party of New York cotton brokers. They were all good friends ofbia, and they decided to put him on to a good thing. Mr. Gr*dy, nothing loath to make a fortune at one stroke, listened eagerly to all they told him. They were perfectly sincere io their advice, and they were confi dent they could force June cotton to 14 cents, and that there was a fortune ''Jo it for all who bought at 1180, the price then quoted. Fired with enthusiasm, Mr. Grady hurried back to Atlanta and bought 1000 bales al 1180 per pound. He wm naturally optimistic, and many air castles did he build during those eunny days of anticipation. He was not a man to go at anything in a half* hearted manner; for the time being the editor was merged into the specu lator. Ho had a ticker pot into his office, and be watched it day after day with the greatest aolioitude. He was so rare of sucoeu that he tried to get ail bit friends into the speculation. He waa full of plana aa to the best way to apend the money that was rare to be bis, and be never tired of telling what be would do ehen cotton weot to 14 cents. For a number of days cotton stood still, the market waa heavy and dull, and things seemed alow. Grady waa beginning to get a little discouraged when cotton began to pick up and as cotton rose all his enthusiasm returned, and again beindulged in roM*buad dreams Things went on thia way for quite a while, one day up, the next day down, aimply dancing all around the original price of 1180. Mr. Grady would look at the ticker in a rather puzzled way aa cotton began to go off slowly but steadily. At first it would rally a little, but one day it simply dropped 50 points and things looked rather bearish. Grady’s air castles all vanished, and be was rather anxiously awaiting summons from bis broker for more margins. One morning he arrived at hie office and found a telegram in cipher from bis broker. The telegram read something like this: "Place Wren account of Margins.” Now, Mr. Grady imagined be knew all the uses of the wren, but he began to think that possibly he was mistak en, as be failed to see what good a wren would do placed as a margin, so ba cent his private secretary to find out what kind of wren was wanted. When the secretary returned be in formed Mr. Grady that wren meant *2,600. Very few men can indulge in a joke at their own expense, particu larly under such circumstances as Grady was then passing through, but in his most genial way be said: “Jim, go and ask him to mpke it humming-bird. Just suppose be had paid tuikey!”—New York Bun. *IOO Bswarfi *IOO.

He Wto Just Home From Ouba- “I had a mighty interesting time in Cuba,” said the man whose bead was divided from the back of his neck by a thick fringe of biir, according to the Washington Star. “Were you with the army!” inquir ed a commercial traveler, who had tilted his chair against a tree just out side the hotel. “Os course,” replied tbe first speaker, spreading bis feet apart and swaying backward and forward. “That’s what made it exciting.” “I didn’t see you mentioned iu any of the reports,” remarked tbe person who is always making an effort to humble somebody’s pride. "Ob, I’ve been mentioned in a lot of them,” was tbe genial reply. "Peo ple who know anything about such matters admit that some of the best work of the campaign was ((one by me. One of tbe best things I'did was to take two Spanish officer* and seven privates.’’ “All by yourself!" "Certainly. I didn’t have a bit of assistance. . Tbe next day I went out and took a lot of cavalrymen." “How many!" inquired the skeptic, whose face showed traces of mingled surprise and suspicion. “Oh, I didn’t stop to count ’em.” “Didn’t you get wounded!” asked tbe man who was leaning against the tree. ' “Once or twice I got a little scratch —such as a man is always liable to when he is knocked around in that way; The next thing I did after I got through with the cavalrymen was to take a lot of commissary wagons belonging to the Spanish, and follow ed that up by taking a castle on tbe morning of tbe next day, and a fort in tbe afternoon.” ’ Mister,” said tbe disagreeable man, slowly and with indignation, “here in Washington we see some of tbe finest specimens of almost anything you can call to mind, but I wish to state, and I may remark incidentally that I come . from Texas, and fully realize tbe re sponsibility I assume, that you are tbe I biggest liar who ever walked on Feon ' sylvania avenue.” .
