Therefore, with cotton at 7 cents

he received last year.
This is partly due to the general Com-
mercial and industrial revival. With cot-
Mr. Grose, who recently made a tour in
northwest Caflada, gives a curious ac-
count of the law of cache there. Suppos-
ing a man, for reasons of personal com-
fort, desires to leave his coat behind. All
that he has to do is to hang it on
tree, where it will be found when he
turns at the end of a week..
The ownership of a suspended gun or
rifle would be equally respected, and Mr.
Grose says that a man might safely hang
up his watch and chain, knowing that it
witness to that side of Mr. Chamberlain s would still be there when he came to claim
it.
With -regard to provisions the law of
cache is subject to modifications. A hun-
gry Indian on discovering provisions
would take enough food for his imme-
diate wants and leave the rest untouched,
and in order to make it apparent that no
secrecy was intended he will make his fire
in front of the cache. He would simply
consider himself the unknown guest of the
owner of the food.
■ character which always excites the admi-
■ ration of those who have the privilege
of knowing him “at home.”
The relations that exist between Mr.
Chamberlain and his eldest son, Austin,
are such that they have at times .softened
the animosity of his most bitter foes. The
father is manifestly proud of his boy, to
whom he occasionally refers during the
course of his utterances in the house of
commons as “My Right Honorable
Friend’,’ to the vast entertainment of his
fellow legislators.
Young Austin Chamberlain, I may add,
was a particular favorite of the late.
Prince Bismarck. At the time when “Joe”
was charged with being a “little Eng-
lander,” he took the trouble to send his
first born to Berlin to spend a year there
for the purpose of acquiring a knowledge
of international politics, by personal con-
tact with the grandest master thereof
since the days of old Talleyrand—namely, I
the Iron Chancellor.
Singularly happy, too, is Mr. Chamber- s
lain in his present wife, a daughter of I
President Cleveland’s first secretary of
war, W. C. Endicott of Salem, Mass. Mrs.
Chamberlain is a particular favorite of
the queen, and it may safely be asserted
that no American woman has ever
stood so high in the good graces of her
majesty as “Joe’s” wife. The favor of the
aged sovereign was shown when, at the
time of her jubilee, she conferred upon
Mrs. Chamberalin not the silver but the
golden jubilee medal. Mrs. Chamberlain
is one of the few non-royal ladies to have
been thus distinguished, the gold medal
having been reserved for the members
of the reigning house and of foreign sov-
ereign families, while the silver medal

■Nearly 20 years ago, during the ..course
of a call at Marlborough house, -I hap-
pened to mention that I had made a few
days previously the acquaintance of Jo-
seph Chamberlain, who at that time was
generally regarded as a politician of the
revolutionary type, imbued with republi-
can aspirations, and who was denounced
not alone by the Tories, but also by the
vast majority of the Liberals, as a dan-
gerous demagogue and as a species of
nineteenth century Jack Cade. Some-
what to my astonishment I was plied
with questions concerning him, .and as I
betrayed my surprise at the sympathetic
interest displayed in a man whom so
many regarded,,(>n the light of a peril to
the throne, it was intimated to me that
he was looked upon by his future king as
destined in the course of time to become
prime minister of the British empire.
So much is known of Joseph Chamber-
lain’s public career that a few words re-
garding his private, life and character may
prove of interest. Although Mr. Cham-
berlain has plenty of “nerve,” more so
■than any of his colleagues, there is no one
in the cabinet, with the possible exception
of the duke of7 Devonshire, who is more
entirely devoid ,of what are known
“nerves.” He is the most self possessed
man that it has ever been my lot to-, meet
and gives at no time stronger evidence
thereof than when making a public speech.
True, he does not, like his friend and
ally, the duke, pause in the middle of his
discourse to yawn, and then explain, by
way of apology, that the speech is so
dreadfully dreary; but his utter absence
of nervousness is displayed in the most
amusing manner by the management of
his cigar. When making an after dinner
speech most men become quite oblivious
of the fact that they are smoking, and
permit ‘.their cigars to go out. Not so Mr.
Chamberlain. His weed is still alight at I

the applause is ringing, and malicious per-

Cotton seed sold at Calvert Saturday
for $15 per ton. This adds $7.50 to the price
of a bale of cotton, and shows what the
development of manufacturing industry
means to the south. At an average price
of $10 per ton the south’s ,cotton seed this
year will be worth between $40,000,000 and
$50,000,000. That’s a pretty good price for
something that was formerly thrown
away.—Houston Post.
The demand for cotton seed is what

Perhaps the best criterion of a man’s
character is to be found in his domestic
relations. Fortunate as are the members
of the present administration in this re- Pecuharly Anglo-Saxon failing of snob-

the ministers who is happier in his home
life than the statesman whom every man,
woman and child in England refers to fa-
miliarly as “Joe.”
His lovely country seat at Highbury is
literally crowded with valuable works of
art, comprising the masterpieces of Leigh-
ton, of Marcus Stone and of Turner. But
in his own library the places of honor on
the walls are occupied by a large collec-
tion of childish sketches and blotchy
paintings, bearing necessary labels to the
effect that “this 'is a robin,” “this is a
tree,” etc. These are Christmas cards
drawn by his children—their earliest at-
tempts—when chubby hands found it hard
to hold a pencil and a paint brush.
There they have remained, after many
years, in the-place of honor, bearing silent
Among the most attractive traits of Mr.
Chamberlain are his domestic relations
and his loyalty to his friends. Indeed, it
is only those who do not know him
sonally, and who are willfully blind to the
past, who add to the charges of political
inconsistency that of treachery toward
friends and associates. Once “Joe” Cham-
berlain has accorded his friendship to any
one he seldom takes it back, and to those
who have denounced him in print as “Ju-
das” I would merely recall the spectacle
which he offered at the time of the Craw-
ford scandal, when alone of all the . former
friends of Sir Charles Dilke he sat by the
latte'r’s side throughout the long and hor-
rible trial, giving to the unfortunate Chel-
sea baronet the support, at that time well
night priceless, of his publicly demon-
strated 'affection and regard. It was an
act of rare courage and grit on the part
of a rising statesman credited with the
political ambitions of Mr. Chamberlain.
For the charges against Sir Charles were
so_ horrible and so circumstantial that
everybody shrank from his side. There
were but two exceptions—-namely, the es-
timable woman who js now Lady Dilke,
and Joseph Chamberlain, who believed
then in his innocence, as every sensible
person does today. For Sir Charles was,
after all, but the victim of a woman af-
flicted with that form of hysteria which
takes the shape of vicious imaginings, and
of the spite of certain of her feminine
relatives.
Mr. Stead, then editor of the Pall Mall
Gazette, and author of “The Maiden Trib-
ute” articles, was mainly responsible for
the tempest of obloquy by which Sir
Charles was overwhelmed, and which pre-
vented his countrymen, nay, even his -
queen, from taking at the time a common-
sense and logical view of the case.
That •Chamberlain was right and his
countrymen wrong, is shown by the fact
that Sir Charles has now recovered his
former political and social eminence. He
is slated for a secretaryship of state in
the next Liberal cabinet, was appointed
only the other day a royal commissioner
by the queen and received by her at Wind-
sor, and is now to be met at all the prin-
