way westward with three newly aifianccd
wives. He readily introduced them to a
reporter, Emoline was u brawny, igno-

and her lot was to be that of drudge in
the well balanced family which the elder
contemplated. She was to ''look after

came back here about two months ago.
The day he returned he was passing
along the street, when he met n little
boy crying, Old Reese is very fond of
children and they all like him. He
picked the little fellow up, dried his
tears, and inquired the cause of his trouble.
Between his sobs the boy told his story.
He was the only son of n poor widow
woman who lives down by the river and
does washing for the gamblers. Early in
the spring Sam Sturgis had employed
him to attend to this horse, promising
to pay him 81 u week for his services.
Glad to be able to help his mother, the
little fellow took charge of the gamblers

sixteen weeks. Then sturgis sold the
animal and his services we've no longer re-

Sturgis for his pay, and the gambler had
not only not paid him, but had pitched
him out of the casino.

"Sturgis was pretty flush then and was
running n big game. Old Reese went
down to sec him. Well, sir, it's only
about n week ago that he recovered from
that interview and was able to be about.

lieved week since At present prices of wheat

are placed at very great disadvantage, good
red wheat In Ohio and Indiana selling at ST. to

seabOard. Our oldest and mOst reliable
correspondents in ONO, Indiana and Illinois
agree that the above States, under present con-
dltlons and prospects, will not harvest more than
half the quantity OF wheat they did last year,

give resnlp 10 per cent. better than is now
promised. From the condition of the cropin the
three states named above Estates that pro-
dneed last year more than one-third the whole

farmers IN those States will be SLOW to part with
the'r old whoa. as so many of them have lost
their crop and have plowed up the land and put
