Patten, the noted wheat Inill of lust y«ar ami the «iieci.*i*fn| cotton i>iill thi* y* nr, took Ins Thnnkngiving dinner m Now York on Thursday, iimtead of 111 Chicago, hi. |ioin<* city, pos sibly hecamte it wm nil tin* New York cotton market that cleaned up li is hipgest winning* tine year and not in '.ln* Chicago wheat pit. Mr. Patten is described as lin ing “just one iiwh under six feet and “liroud in proportion, though not stout. He is sixty-seven years old. His voice is low and lie speaks in an even tone, and ap parently is the soul of good hu mor, ’’ As to hi* habits, .Mr. Patten is quoted iis saving : “ I do not di oik at all It lias iilwava been iny theory that no man call lie a speculator, for that is what I am, and succeed very long it he uses liquor, lie must have a normal brum and his rea son and judgment must not be affected by stimulants. For an other thing, I never think of bus iness outside of my 'Mice. When I go home from my otliee I put business out o! my mind, and do not think about it again until I enter my office the next day." lint what should interest us most m the market operator is. Ins opinion on the immediate fu ture of cotton, since lie lias at least earned the right to pose a* an authority by the good judge ment lie has demons)rated in Ins speculations in the staple. (hi this point lie admitted In* had “been interested in cotton, was still and expected “to lie for s .in" time. The situation in that ■ market,'' lie emit i nued, “is pre cisely the same as it was in wheat a year ago. I lie crop is short. product ion being below require ments, and the spinners have been caught napping. ju«t as the mill ets a year ago lam hearing the same kind of talk that I heard a v ar ago, and the same kind ot abuse, and it sounds familiar. Oh. yes I know wluit they ate say ing. It 1111 get- back to me Well, I himv be wrong, but that report ot a good crop in Kgypt is all wrong, for there is a twenty-live percent shortagw in the Nile vnl-j ley.” Mr. Patten proved to lie correct in his analysis of the situation ri to wheat last year and there can tie little doubt a* he is equally as well informed an cotton at this time. Macon News ROOSEVELT AND THE RHINO. (From “African tignie Trails" by Theodore Roosevelt,in the De cember (t'lirist mas ) Scribner ) Tin* huge Imust was standing in entirely open country, although w -re a few scattered trees of no great si/e at some little distance Irom him. We left our horses in a dip ot the ground and began tin- approach; ,1 cannot say that wo stulkcd him, for the approach was too e«sv. The wind blew from him to it' and the rhino's eye sight t> dull.
