Writes About the Autumntide and
Rings in a Little Shop Talk
With It

And:this is autumn; and here
and there we see the ofiery finger
ofaujumn� on the leaves. The
clouds at eventide take on that
indiscribable crimson glory which
~poets have spent futile hours ip
trying to describe and artists
weary days in trying to portray.
Tt is the season of fruitfulness ;|.
ths season when falling leaf and
ripening crops, and the mellow
air itself speaks to the secret soul
of man in breathless whisper,
bat in language as unmistakably
clear and ae distinct as the loud-
est thunder peals, that life,. too,
has its autumn and its winter of
death. Yes, it is the time of the
osere and yellow leaf ;T the sea-
gon of omelancholy days, the
gaddest of the year;� the seasoo
when monitory winds tell that the
year is verging to its close.

Well, we have very little poesy
about us and the foregoing was
written not because we have such
gushing sentiment about the
oontumntide�; but really we are
glad fall has come, for our sub
acriberr, many of them, have
been promising us faithfully all
during the bright days of spring
and the hot, dull, moneyless days
of summer, thst they would sure:
ly pay us in the fall and would re-
new their subscription then.'|
And so, kind friends, these fading
leaves and migrating birds ani
wailing winde and ripening crops
remind us that fall is here and we
would hke to haye that little
amount dueon subscription. We
feel that we have earned it and
we expect the pay in the fall as
wo have been prcmised."Monrce

reasons for the present low
prices are th. behef in a large
crop in New York and Liverpool,
and the small demand at the
mills.

If the crop reports are correct,
and the crop is no larger than
these reports indicate, the price
ought to range considerably
higher than it is at present,
especially when it is remembered
that the worldTs supply was
practically exhausted at the
beginning of this seagon.

The geaso.:8 are 80 favorable to

tendency to confirm the reports
of large crops and keep the price
down, but with a fair demand
and an average crop there is
every reasoa to believe that
prises wiil go higher after the
lst of January. -We do not
look for any materirl rise before
that time for the simple reason
that receipts will probably be so
heavy as to keep the price down.

~| dent in all sections in whch I took
part, in none more than in the one

under discussion. I refer to the
quick fire of the Turkish infantry,
of such power, duration and effect
as had never before been dreameé
of. General Todlsben wrote later,
oSuch a shower of lead as that with
which the Turks hail our troops has
never before been employed as &
mode of wariare by any European
army.T It was more instinct, ex-
perience, silent consent and confi-
cence in their weapons than training
or formulated rules which indwoed
the Turkish foot soldiers to adopt
this mode of fighting. 1 had wit
nessed quick fire drill in Widdin, but
I venture to say that it was not un-
til after the first battle that the offi.
cers became really conscious of the
terrific power of long sustained quick

Our orders were briefly as foi-
lows: ~~As soonTas you know or sup-
pose the enemy to be within range
of your rifles cover the space pre-
sumably occupiedT by him or pre-
sumably to be traversed by him
with quick fire, independent of dis-
tance, duration, di joulty of aim,
probability of hitting and consump.
tion of cartridges.TT The awful ef.
fect upon the opponent of this rule,
if carried out as literally and as
much con amore as it was by the
Turks, is apparent in the Russian
losses, and in the fact that through.
out the Pievna campaign the Rus.
sian attacks, with few and unim.
portant exceptions, collapsed, numer.
wal superiority notwitnstanding. "
