uncle has selected him a wife, and he
has just married some one else. Nell
Huntington, the selected wife, agrees
to pass as George's wife so he may
get his fortune. Richard Hamilton
appears and Nell Huntington is in a
trap. One of Ferdinand's letters, ad
dressed to Nell (Cornelia), is read by
Nell, the servant. Ferdinand conies
to claim his bride, and Is accldently
met by Nell. George's wife, whom he
falls in love with. He afterwards
meets Noll, the servant who falls in
love with him, and filially he meets
Cornelia whom he detests very much.
George becomes so jealous thai he
decides to pass everybody off as lun
atics and himself as tho keeper of the
asylum. The unraveling of a skein of
mystery and. the finish of an exciting
(lay to liinl that it was "All a mistake".
The boys and girls are practicing
quite often, and they arc sure of a
great success.

pledges from the farmers to reduce
the acreage of cotton this year. It s
a move in the right direction.
The heartless speculators are ever
ready to take advantage of the farm

were almost bankrupted by the low
price of cotton. Let them become
thoroughly organized, decrease the
cotton acreage, increase the cereals
and demand a fair price for their cot
ton.
