MCCORMICK HARVESTING MACHINE Go.
A FARMERS TRIAL.

MO-, june D, 1902.
We, the undersigned farmers, hav-
ing witnessed the field trial between
the Mccormick, Wood, Buckeye, and
Minneapolis Binders to-day, unhesi-
tatingly give our vote in favor of the
work the Mccormick Machine did,
in preference to any of the other
machines. While the Wood and
Minneapolis did good work, the Nc
Cormick evidently did the best and
cleanest work, and beyond all ques-
ton with less draft than any of its
competitors and by actual weight
after the trial weighed less than the
Minneapolis Wood did not weigh.

A German Professor.

A correspondent Of Sunday afternoon
gives an amusing sketch Of the style Of
lecturing which Prof. Kahnis, one of the
great church historians Of Germany, has
made his own.
He ambles up to his desk and turns
upon us plump face, naturally red,
but flushed by climbing two flights Of
stairs to an over-ripe strawberry color;
plants himself against the blackboard
with hands folded under his coat-tails,
and shuts his eyes-or they shut them
selves; it is difficult for him tokeep them
open.
lie talks fast and vehemently, swings
back and forth, carelessly erasing the
chaIk-marks from the blackboard with
his broadcloth, and opens his mouth
widely to the embarrassment OF his only
tooth, He looks altogether, with his
red, chubby face, like dissipated
cherub.
IL Is a favorite amusement with the
American students to see the professor
search for his pocket Testament He
wants to make o reference TO the origi-
nal. His eyes are shut as usual.
Suddenly, without any previous init
nation of what he is about TO do, he
strikes his finger nervously against tho
left breast of his coat. to sound thepock-
et-no book.
Then the right pocket more excitcdly
no book, Then he strikes both hands
alternately against his at-tails--with-
out success. In nervous desperation no
thumps his trousers--in vain.
lie pauses moment to reflect, then
institutes another search in the reverse
order, and more carefully-trousers
coat-tail brcast-pockets;-a all the time
we can see his book lying beside his
madsscript on the desk.
Although he looks troubled and an
noyed, he has not opened his eyes yet
Suddenly it occurs to him; and his anx-
ious features assume their natural look
OF cherubic serenity as his eyes rest for
a brief moment on the stray volume and
close again in peaceful meditation.

AneCdote Of Judge Story.

The following anecdote about the IA
nous iurist Story is in private circula-
ton, but is good enough for the public
eye, 1t was prepared for Story's biog-
raphy by his son, but Charles Sumner,
who edited the work, struck it out, The
narrative runs like this In his younger
days Story lived in the aristocratic old
town of Salem, in Massachusetts. His
great ability was not then tempered by
as much wisdom as he afterward dis
played, and he was looked upon with
disfavor by some of the old families.
One day Mrs A. called upon Mrs. B.,
and in the course Of their conversation
there being seamstress present
Mrs. A. asked Mrs. B. if her daughter
was going to the party that evening.
NO" was the short reply; II don't
propose to let my daughter to any place
which is frequented by that insignificant
young puppy Story" Years afterward,
when Story was Judge on the Supreme
Bench, be visited Salem, and was warm
ly welcomed by those who had known
him formerly Among his best friends,
apparently, was Mrs. b., and he ac-
cepted her pressing invitation to dinner.
Now, in the years which had elapsed,
the seamstress had become possessed OF
a home of her own, to which was at-
tached garden. with o pear-tree,
which was Just then loaded with fine
fruit. After the invitation to dinner had
been accepted, the seamstrcss received
call from Mrs. BIS servant, asking her
to send up basket of her excellent
pears for dinner, us "Mr. Justice Story,
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, was to be present" The good
natured seamstress sent the pears at
once, and with them this message: Tell
your mistress that | am glad that the
insignificant young puppy Story has
grown to be so fine dog"

the other hills round here"
"There's point Of land on Mr. Up
toms place lwish to measure" said Mr..
Markle,
"StuiI and nonsense" said Jimmy
Hasllins, but lac followed the party.
Nearly all the boys in town and a
great many other people were assembled
at Upton's Hill when the committee ar
rived there, and when Mr. Jimmy lIask-
ms saw the mound that had been raised,
his surprise and rage were very great.
He insisted that the height of this mound
should not be measured, for it was not
natural formation. But the commit
tee declared that the ordinance called
for the heighest point of land, without
reference TO the manner IN which 1t was
formed Tho measurements were made
and the top of the mound was found to
oe nearly three feet higher than the sum
nit Of Mullen Hill.
On the Fourth of July the flag was
raised on the pole, which was firmly set
in Georges mound, The pole was high.
the flag was beautiful one; everybody
cheered and was happy, and no one paid
cent for the privilege Of being present
at the celebration.
II thought nothing but an earthquake
could make any of those hills higher
than mine" grumbled Mr.. Jimmy Hask-
ms "but forgot that there were such
things as boys "
