THEY DIDN'T THINK.
BY PHGBE CARY.

Once trap was baited
With piece of cheese,
1t tickled SO little mouse
1t almost made him sneeze.
An old rat said, "There's danger,
Be careful where you GO.
"Nonsense ~ said the other,
Il don' think you know"
So he walked in boldly;
Nobody in sight;
First he took a nibble
Then he took a bite b;
Close the trap together
Snapped, quick as wink,
Catching mousey fast there,
Cause he didn't think.
Once little turkey,
Fond of her own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where TO 90 or stay.
She said. "I'm not a baby
Here | am. half grown;
Surely l am big enough
TO run around alone ~
Off she went, but somebody,
Hiding saw her pass;
Soon like snow her feathers
Covered all the grass
So she made a supper
For sly yonng mink,
Cause she was so headstrong,
That she wouldn't think.
Once there was a robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to 60 inside
And hop upon the floar.
''No, no ~ said the mother,
"You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in tree !"
"I don't care" said Robin,
And gave his tail fling,
81 don't think the old folks
Know quite everything"
Down he flew, and Kitty seized him,
Before he'd time To blink
ooh ~ he cried, I'm sorry,
But didn't think.

A correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer says, in order to raise water
melons successfully. plow the ground
deep deep, pulverize it well, and mark
off the rows eight or ten feet each way.
Put shovelful of well-rotted manure
in each hill. Keep the soil well culti-
vated until the vines begin to run,
then throw the vines over and plow
them both ways, turning the vines
back to their proper place again. AZ
ter that cut out all the weeds or grass
that may come up, and you will raise
pieuty of iue melons.

IL Is noteworthy fact that, according 10 the
Chief OF Police OF Baltimore there were rather

vi ulne anywhere during the last year or two,

highest degree to the Monumental civ hut
they serve also TO illustrate In the most forcible
manner the moral growth of the whole cour-

Wheat outlook.

Many foreign farmers have come to
this country during the past few
months, bringing with them much
capital for the purpose of engaging in
the grain growing business. They rta-
son in this manner, to-wit: For the
past 90 years Europe has demanded q
large portion of the wheat crop of
America. The price of wheat in
America, since the United States was
formed has averaged 81 03 per bush
ell at the ocean warts The demand
for wheat, not only in Europe but in
America, as well, is steadily increas-
ing, while the means to supply that de-
mand is not increasing proportionately.
Again the United State during the
past year, exported 100000 gallons
of crude alchohal. The reason of this
large export encourages the Rising Of
other grains, while the steadily demand

Idaho, | can not contemplate all these
movements in this section and the
lower river to The Dafles without be-
ing inspired with the confident hope
that North Idaho will come in for a
share of the benefits Of the building
Of these roads, even while they are in
process of construction. If our peo-
pie who work in the timber along the
Clearwater are on the lookout they
can do large share of the furnishing
of timber and ties, either as principal
or sub-contractors, and this alone will
leave much money in our section. The
prospect of the road being so soon
built down the river so as to furnish
abundant transportation ought to en-
courage the farmers, especially wheat
growers, of North Idaho to put in
large fields of wheat, for twill have the
means of exit to a market The
breeze of future prosperity that blows
along the lower Columbia, like the
welcome Chinook winds will surely
reach Lewiston and the surrounding
country. AWAY From HOME.
