A Wonderful Dog Story.

There is a dog on the corner of Ban
croft Street and Willow Avenue which
recently displayed such marked detect
i've ingenuity as to certainly merit notice,
if not a star. This sagacious animal be-
longs to NJ. G.. Griffin. 1t seems that
Mr. Griffin was awakened in the night
recently by the barking of his dog in his
yard. He got up, took his revolver and
went down there. Not seeing or hear
ing anybody, Mr.. Griffin repaired-to his
room and retired. But still Leo kept up
his growing and barking something
louder than before. Mr. Griffin again
arose, went down stairs and stepped out
into the yard with revolver in hand. The
dog approached him, licked his hand
and then ran and leaped over the fence.
The dog apparently meant his master
to follow him. This Mr.. Griffin did. He
followed the dog to the cellar door of
his store and found an entrance had been
effected by breaking the hasp off the
same. Mr.. Griffin entered the cellar,
and, Notwithstanding he missed nothing,
he knew some one had been in the cell
lar and had tried to get into the store
above. At this Leo was satisfied and
ceased barking for the night. The next
morning Mr.. GriGin's attention was
again called to loud barking by Leo,
He stepped to the front of hisstor The
dog had stopped man on the sidewalk,
and would not allow him to pass. The
gentleman-at-large told Mr.. Griffin that
if he didn't take care of that dog he
would shoot him. AT this juncture Mr..
Griffin invited him inside and there took
the liberty of accusing him of breaking
into his store the night before. The
man said he was insuited by such base
insinuations, and started for the door,
when Leo followed him out and kept up
his barking. Mr.. Griffin was SO sure
Chat he was not mistaken that he report,
ed the case to police headquarters. The
man was. arrested and taken before
Esquire Burke, where he confessed that
the dog had found him out, and that he
chad triedto brealy INTO the, store, but
Leo kept him from accomplishing hi;
purpose. He remarked that he would
leave Council Bluffs Immediately and
go over to Omaha, where he did not be-
lieve that dogs could be so highly edu
cated.-OHl0h0 Bee.

The Press and the New and Great South

The States of the South, acting after the
manner of the great railroads, have opened
bureau for information as to their re-
sources and attractions, in New York, and
London and other European cities. The
bureau will have samples of the agricultural
and manufacturing interests Of the South
and West for free exhibition, and for the in
formation Of intending emigrants.
The press Of the South and West owe IL to
themselves to note the growth Of their re-
spectiye centers, and the special excellence
OF its manufactured products This is a duty
which the press fulflls all over the world,
and one Of its highest missions and services to
the people. The supremacy OF the West in
agricultural machinery is now conceded all
over the world, and the CHARTER OAK
STOVE WORKS has pushed st. Louis to the
front in this industry; but this superiority is
attended with ther good results, the best
skill will in the future locate itself there,
and act indirectly on the neighboring states
in supplying them with skilled labor and
building up other industries. This was the
plan the Western States adopted in building
up their respective agricultural and manu-
featuring interests. (6-30)

hidden enemy to light. Tossing in
delirium for many weeks, Dora learned
how wholly the mans heart had fastened
itself upon the one hope which so cruelty
had failed him. For a time, it seemed
as though it had Slapped the foundation
of his life; but it proved not so. ~
There came day when, opening his
eyes, he recognized the nurse whose
gentle touch had soothed all his fever
fancy hours. Slowly he regained his
strength; but it seemed as though re-
turning health brought with it new
vision.
Cara's acknowledged lover was with
them now. They who had welcomed
him for her sake soon did so for his own.
Seeing them together, none could Won
der that each had chosen the other; but
how the sight must pain the older man!
With all her ingenuity, Dora strove to
keep it from him, until he said to her.
one day: Ii
"My wound has been cauterized; it
hurts no longer"
lie was brave and hid it, she told
herself. Did she not know that such
woundsateUer healedP = VII
Thus the weeks rolled on, until it
came the time for Cara's wedding, She
had to return to her guardians home,
which. she now was to leave forever.
1t was the evening before her mar
riage, when Dora, sitting alone, heard
the step she had learned to know SO
well.
AS he had done once before, entering
the room where she sat, he came straight
toward her, taking both her hands in his.
"Dora," he said, ado you remember
that you once told me that pleading my
cause could not be sdenied? dvill you
make good your words? Must | be pun
ished because for long years have been
blind? | love you, dear! you for
my own-my wife! Will you forgive the
infatuation which misled me from the
real cry of my heart, and now answer it?
1t is very empty, Will you fill itP"
She looked up into his face. Was it
pity that she read there-pity which
prompted the words for which her hun
CRY heart had thirsted all these years.
No, no! 1t was the light of love, and i
burned for her. She knew it even as she
knew that it should light her footsteps
down into the valley and shadow Of
eternity; and, 50 knowing, she gave to
him the promise that he asked.-SdttU-

Seed Failures.

1t is not alone in the failure Of seed
corn that farmers crops are short this
year. The failure is evidently general.
The greatest failure in proportion to the
intended crop is in cane seed. 1t is 60
ing to be the cause of great back-set
in the expected advance i'll sugar and
sirup making this fall. There is also a
universal complaint of the thinness of
wheat, which is evidently mainly to be
attributed to the failure of the seed to
terminate. There has been also a gen.
'eral complaint of the failure of garden
and flower seeds. And none of this can
be laid to the charge Of cold, wet or
unfavorable May, the month of the
termination of nearly all farm or gar
den seeds. 1t was particularly favora-
BILE in condition Of soil, and suitable
sunshine and showers. Most of the de-
fects in seeds must be attributed to the
early freeze last fall, before seeds were
perfected and dried out. Freezing seeds
when in an imperfect or damp condi-
ton is fatal to their vitality. The loss
to Iowa this year is enormous. And yet
it could all have been avoided by pru-
dent care. .-.
In the first place seed-corn should be
gathered from the field so soon as the
earliest and best ears are fully out of
milk. This can be done late in August
or early in September. Then dry it out
thoroughly in the sun. Do not q mo-
ment imagine that it is best to hang it
up or lay it away in the shade. There is
nothing equal in giving vitality or pre-
pairing it to stand the terrible freezing
of our winters like sunshine. And more
sunshine would ripen in u proper way
our children, young men and young
women. And sunshine will even give
vigor and elasticity to old age. When
the corn and cob is thoroughly dry put
it away where it will keep dry, and
there will be no discount on its vitality
next spring. And the same process
will perfect and preserve all kinds OF
seeds and grain. And no farmer should
risk his crops or his property upon
doubtful seeds.
But farmer should not rely too GER
tainly on the care he has taken of the
seed grain. 1t may have been exposed
10 currents of air in the changes of tenn
| perature, when it would get damp and
by sudden depression the atmosphere
I freezes it before it dries off. So every
/ farmer shoub make fair test long be-
fore seed time, so if anything has been
fatal or even injurious, he would have
time to procure other seed. The lesson
of thisNSear is a serious one, involving
the loss OF many millionS and it should
suffice for a decade at least. And the
time is Just at hand when corn, cane and
other seed will demand attention.
