A CAT’S BEAUTIFUL HOME.
I suppose you have all read of the
g. nd reception that was given to Dewey
when he came hom*. Il«»w the New Nork
people sp> nt thousands nf dollars erect
ing a beautiful arch under which the
great proa*esst»n munh'd. For two or
three days N*w York was wild over the
x. tor!»us hero, hut nil things have an
end. and at last everything quieted down.
The arch built for the occasion was so
t* autlful and ornamental that they con
c.udxd to let that remain, and I am go
ing to tell you a queer little story about
It. Near this circle is a cab stand, where
the cabmen stay to watch for customers.
They noticed a beautiful cat that made
her homo about thts arch. Near the
ground for some reason a hole was left
In <>ne of the columns and In thts column
puss made her home. The cabmen petted
and fed the cat every day.
One morning they heard some feeble
mews, but It came out looking very
h. and asking for her dinner, and
In every wav she could, told about the
l.autf ul kittens so safely housed In the
grand arch, but with the Incessant roar
ing of the cars, and passing of trucks
oi.d carriages, it would be a dangerous
thing for them to try and come out.
As you can well imagine puss has as
n ich water and food os she needs, for the
cabmen won’t let her want for anything,
ar d just as soon us her pretty babies
h ave their nice home, the cabmen will be
r ady to provide each one with another
home, even if it is not so elegant. Now.
1- n’t thia a funny uso to put Dewey’s
triumphant circle to? A home for a fam
ily of tabbies.
I am very sure all of my young readers
will !>■ sorry to h*ar of an accident that
lias befallen one of their number.
I am very certain you have not forgot
t. n that Interesting letter. “A Trip to the
Gulf f written by I sella A. Har-
row. of Florida.
I have received a letter from her mother
t« Hing me that Leila, while out horseback
riding, had fallen from her horse and
l-ndly dislocated her right elbow. Iler

J. Bradford Fussell, Buena Vista, Ga.—
Dear Junior: This Is my first time to
write. Why is It that the boys from
the northwestern states don’t write?
I would be glad to hear from some ot
the cousins of Dakota and tell us about
their homes. I enjoy beautiful scenery
the best sort. If It was that I would
travel over the United States and see the
' different country, that would be my
i whole delight. 1 would like to visit for
eign countries and see the dlflerent peo
ple living in them. But I ain here in
Georgia, going to school —this being my
only pleasure. Our teacher Is a Cana
dian. and a good one, too. He has some
peculiar ways, but they don't bother me.
1 see it Is customary <0 write from a sub
ject; but the Juniors will have to ex-
I euse me this time. I would be glad for
some of the boys to xvrlte to me and tell
I me. of their circumstances, what chanco
for making a man they have. Mine Is
rather poor, but 1 am having a chance
of some education now and I certainly
appreciate It. NVould be glad of some
correspondents.
8. E. Bailes. Pleasant Valley, 8. C
Dear Junior: I live in the country three
miles from the town of Fort Mill, on the
Southern railroad. I enjoy country life
very much. I wish to tell the Juniors ot
a trip to Columbia, the capital of our
state. On the morning of the 7th of No
vembers a friend of mine and I took the
train at Fort Mill <in<l arrived at Bland
ing street in Columbia about 12 o'clock.
We took a carriage and drove out to the
statehouse; there we took a street car
and went around to the fair grounds, ana
' there we. saw the different kinds of fowls
and all the beautiful cows, sheep, hogs,
■and horses and a great may oth^‘l
things. We went to the statehouse and
there we saw the largo confederate mon
unn-nt which 1 alxvays like to see any
where 1 go. We saw several large can
non. We hoard the First Lniled States
Artillery band play, xvhich I think xxa.-j
the most beautilul music I ever heard
The next morning wo visited the peni
teiitiaiy ati<l saw the ones who xvoie the
stupes. We visited the Congaxee river,
and saw it bridge "Vera quarter ot a mile
long. In conclusion, 1 will say 1 wish to
c< rrespojid with some of the oouslns aged'
tl irteen years.
Maud Lyles, Burttle, Ara —Dear Junior:
I am eleven years old and have been out

magnolia trees. Some p aces were

“Mab,” Troy. Ala.—Dear Junior: It Is
with much pleasure that I turn each
1 week to the Junior page and read the in
teresting letters es the eotiHlns. It is like
a great family, all the formality done
away with, where we can come together
1 and discuss our p t themes. Why don't
more of you write ot' the. you have
read? Jam espeiutliy ■ of good nov
els and read all that I got. Some
people abuse novel reading and say it is
degrading, leads tin into wrong doing. 1
titink the r-uson its that they have never
read a g<«>d nov I. Mx favorite authors
ate Mrs. A J Wilson, Mrs. M. J. Holmes,
Ros.l N Carey and E. P. Roe. 1 have
read some from Edna Lyall and I like her
books also, but 1 tliink no novel can ex
cel St. Elmo.' 1 think that the regular
1 dime novel i.s as bail as mean whisky.
It sets the brain on tire with the exciting
romance, and often gives people the
wrong impression of human life. 1 have
read a few such, and always feel after
wards that I have done others as well a.s
tnvself -to injustice; others, because It
may encourage them to do the same.
The're are pl uty of books that will lead
us on to a higher life, and if xvo will lis
ten to the morals, xxill make us noble,
good boys and girls. Let's form a resolu
tion with the New Year to read only good
hoiks. In the best books great men talk
i t<> us. give us their most precious
thoughts, and po.tr their souls into ours.
God i»e thanK'sl for books! They are the
voices of the distant and the dead, and
make us heirs of the sjtritual life of
past ages, litoks tire the true levelers.
Thev give to all who will faithfully use
them the society, the spiritual presence
of the best and greatest of our race.

at vctir door. 1 know that Aunt Susie
and .the dear Juniors will not turn a deaf
ear to my so 1 will consider
myself a nv-mber of your happy band.
I hope you all had a merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
I had a good time Christmas and am
very glad that I have been spared to see
the dawning of a happy new year. I
think that we ill should bo exceedingly
■thankful that wo have boon spared from
the ranks of those who have Joined the
silent band 'beyond.
It mak's my heart sad to think of the
many young and happy people who were
only a year ago enjoying all the blessings
that the good God saw tit to shower
down on tlmtn and now they are sleep
ing under tiio cohl, wet sod to await the
gr. I ludgOM nt 'ax .
D'-ar reader, should we not be thankful?
It makes me shudder to think of the
great changes possible, and may happen
in only anoth- r short year. We may
never see the dawn of another new
year's day.
But then all these things are out of our
power to alter. We must turn our at
i -tention to .- itn< tiling else for already
the new year has dawn'd. How quickly
; time does .pass away! <«et us strive to
improve the many precious moments that
arc passing away so swiftly. I <et us
make new resolutions that will benefit us
ami at all imztrds try to stick to them.
Cultivate a it iliit of reading, be more
cheerful for there is nothing more out
of taste than a dull, droll person.
Is‘t us strive to be more attentive to
our dutie-, tor I am sure xve can make
i great Improvement in this line.
We should not forget to cultivate n
habit <►? kindness and love toward each
other. In fa. t. It t us do all within our
power to live a nobler, purer and truer
life titan heretofore, ami to be sure If wo
do our part God xvill manage the rest for

The People’s Forum
The Short Crop.
Editor Constitution—Your effort tn protect
ing the farmers of the south tn the price of cot
ton is appreciated.
You will see from the synopsis taken from
replies from small Interior uncounted towns
that the bears are not right in claiming a very
large stock on hand. These towns were count
ed. fifty-six of them for three states, viz,
Georgia. Alabama ant South Carolina, and we
can reasonably conclude that the balance of
the south Is In the same condition.
You will notice for these towns there Is a
shortage of 4.500 to compare with xvhat was
on hand last year, and the amount to come In
for the balance of the year Is 56.280. against
102.214 received last year after January Ist.
If The Constitution would take up this work
on a still larger scale and tlnd out what is ac
tually on hand In these small uncounted towns,
the question would be solved.
If tho business world would think who was
carrying this cotton In small towns (which
are the banks) they would see that tho small
town had small banks, then they would know
that these moneyed concerns would not carry
more than 10 to 20 per cent of tho total re
ceipts of each town. To Illustrate, suppose a
small town received 10.000 bales of cotton for
the season, and they were now carrying 10 per
cent, which is 1.000 bales, at $35, you see they
would bo carrying In cotton $35,000 The
small town with banks proportionately small
would not carry 20 per cent of tho crop.
The cotton to come In from farmers is not
5 per cent. C. H. MoCALL.

Counting the Cotton Crop.
Editor Constitution I notice In your Issue of
December 15th “How To Count the Cotton
Crop” from W. P. Tisdale, end "Det the G!n
ners Count.” from T. Williams, and “How To
Count Cotton” from D. B. Cede, In the Issue
of January I. 1900.
It seem.H strange that neither of the shove
gentlemen lias thought of the tax assessor.
He Is ♦he best man and has to travel all over
the county every year, doing most of it before
the farmer has planted anything.
Let the government supply him with the
neccessary papers and after he has assessed
the farmer or tenant who Is going to raise
cotton, cal! his attention to the amount he
Intends to plant In acres; also how many bales
be will make and set it down on the blanks
for that purpose. All cotton planters can tell
Just how many bales they are going to make
fr«»m the number of acres to be planted. Then
let the assessor deliver aJI with the assessed
papom to the tax collector, he to ad<l the num
b» r of acres planted and the number of bales
? iat<-d 1 y ea« h farmer, or forward same to
the state agricultural commissioner, he to add
all the accounts from each county In his state
and forward same to the United States agri
culturist, lie to publish same In all dally and
weekly papers before the speculators have a
chance to Issue their circulars.

Why Is the Count Uncertain P
Editor Constitution—lt Is ptrango If tho
amount of cotton on hand cannot bo obtain
ed nt this prasen. There rrmninn but little
outside of warrhouws after Christmas, and
especially Is this the case this season, as pick
ing has been over a month. Why should there
be a difference of opinion of txvo to two and
one-half million.
If th" commissioner of each state or a lead
ing dally send out blanks somewhat as fol
lows, asking Information from each warehouse
town, or even from county site or agricul
tural representatives of even- county, the
practical facts could be nad. This can't bo ob
tained during picking time.
For instance, I can give exiictly to tho bale
answer to all these questions except the number
of bales on plantatt »ns held In tho county by
planters, and could not inlss that probably
over 100 bales.
This knoxxbdge would put nt rest the con
flicting estimates that Europe and Wall street

PULITZER’S HOME BURNED.
Two Servants Burned to Death—Nar
row Escape of Pulitzer Family.
New York. January H. —The handsome
residence of Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of
Th,. New York World, at 1"12 East Fifty
fifth street, was destroyed by fire today
and two women servants xv< re suflfoeated
or burned tod death. The total loss Is es
timated at about $300,000. The Insurance
is s2rio.ooo.
The victims of the fire were Mrs. Mor
gan Jellett. the housekeeper, and Miss
Elizabeth Montgomery, a governes.-.
The dwelling was a four-story building
o’ stone and brick, Ihe origin of -he
firn Is variously ascribed to electric wires,
the steam heater and an open I:re. It start
ed about 7:30 a. n>.. while Mrs. Pulitzer,
her daughters, Constance and Lulu,
twelve and fourteen years of age respec
tively. and Herbert, a boy of three years,
and the housekeeper and governess were
asleep. Mr. Pulitzer and his son. Joseph.
Jr., were at Lakewood. There xvere six
teen servants in the house.
The servants and passers-by discovered
the tire about the same time. There was
not n.uch smoke, but th" Hames spread
lapbllv and xvere soon beyond contro,.
Mrs I’ulitzer got her children together
and with the aid of th' ir nursees got them
safely to the street. S< veral of the ser
vants had narrow escapes, one of them
making his way out of tho building by
wav of the roof.
He said he saw Mrs. Jellett on the roof
and tiiat she went back to get a Christ
mas bag. When the fix* men found the
partly burned body of the housekeeper
on the top floor the bag vx- :s in her hand.
Tin- bodv of the governess. Miss Mont
gomery. was discovered several hours
afterwards In tho ruins on tho third
floor.
Mrs. Pulitzer, who Is a niece of Jeffer
son Davis, had a number of jewels in a
safe in the house whk’h was burled in
the ruins.
