How DAVID DAVIS WoN A Foor RACE
Among the stories told at Washington about
David Davis of Illinois, is one to the effect
that while he was dining one day at Worm
leys with some friends, among whom was ex
Secretary Evarts, the conversation drifted to
athletic sports and foot races. Mr. Eyarts,
with a view to one of his sarcastic jests, turn
ed to the great trunk alongside of him, from
which he himself may be supposed to have
been Whitfield of as a silver, and suggested
that such sports were something entirely out
of his line well, Evarts," replied Judge
Davis, perhaps you think can't run Now
look here I'll bet you a case of wine l can
beat you in hundred yards if you will let me
choose my ground and give me fve yards
start. Tm heavy, you know and want SOL
id footing" Mr.. Evarts was satisfied that he
had a dead sure thing, and as the evening
had advanced the dignifed company resolved
to unbend itself still further for the sport
Come on, then, shouted the Senator, fol
low me- So away they went, down to a
narrow alley that runs between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets. Marching into it for
distance Of five yards while his arms touched
the brick work on either side he quietly OBJ
served Now Evarts get in behind me, and
take your time. am going to take mine "

A NOTABLE SaAwL.-Shortly before his
death Prof. Crocker of Michigan University
called the attention of his pastor to a worn
and faded shawl spread on his bed, and re-
quested to have it wrapped around his body
and buried with him. He had made it him
self when a young man in England had
worn it in all his journeyings to and from
and over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans ;
when residing in Australia when he escaped
from the Feejee islanders as they were pre-.
pairing to kill and roast him, and when he was
shipwrecked. 1t accompanied him when he
landed in the United States, and even clad
the remains of the dead child when, penni-
less and dsheartened, he first arrived in
Adrian.

And 10! my straining eye has found

Lies near the crimsoned hro-orb's rim.
O blessed, beauteous evening star,
Well named for her whom earth ad0fes-
The Lady Of the dove-drawn car

But yelled in black, a rayless spot,
Blank as careless scribblcr's blot,
stripped Of thy robe Of silvery flame
The stolen robe that Night restores
When Day has shut his golden doors

Aud eaust thou call thyself the same7
A black, round spot-and that is all;
And such speck our earth would be

And still the widening view reveals
In endless rounds the circling wheels
That build the horologe OF time,
New spheres, new suns, new systems CLEAN;

And pay thee with grateful rhyme.

In SprIng.Iime.

The brown old trees are whispering together;
What secret do they knows
In vain We watch aud wait aud look and listen;
They will not tell us so.
But soon some morning, when We are not thinking
OF anything they say,
We stand astonished at the transformation
Wrought in single day.
They are no longer brown and bare and barren,
And our delighted eyes
See why they kept the secret-just to give as
This great and glad surprise.
The robins sing their hearts out in the branches
Which dance in every breeze;
What would the world be in its longed-fOr springtimt
without the birds aud trees ?

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.
The Crops Considerable Less Than
Last Year.


Special Dispatch to THE BKE.
CINCINNATI, o., March 81 The
Cincinnati Price Current publishes to.
morrow an elaborate report OF the con-
dition of the wheat crop throughout
the winter wheat belt of the west. A
com parison with the condition last
year, which is placed at 100, shows
the present condition as follows:
Ohio, So; Indiana. 80; Illinois, 90;
Missouri, 80; Kansas, 9l; Michigan,
96; Kentucky, 20; Tennessee,
Sc. The winter wheat SEQ
tions of Wisconsin promise we'll,
the general average being about
10 per cent below last year. The
spring wheat section of Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Nebraska show
no essential, change in area compared
with last. The Price Current notes
that the impairment of the winter
wheat prospect may be modified or
made worse by future favorable or
unfavorab!e weather. 1t is hardly
reasonable to look for crop equal to
last year. The estimate of this year
crop will fall below 450, 600, 900 bush.
els, or 53 900, 600 less than last year 8.
