The spring wheat crop is Just now pass

escaped serious damage, md three weeks
of good weather will place most Of the
crop beyond damage, There has been
good deal of rain in Minnesota and
Dakota since July lst, which has been OF
great benefit in some places, but has
caused some damage in others. Up to
Sunday there had not been my too much
rain, but during the past three days far
mers in the Red river valley and along
the james river in Dakota have been COM
planning that moisture and hot weather
cor ned are hurting the crop. Wheat
is lie {nning TO rust in some places, but
not enough TO cause any serious alarm as
yet,
In the northern portion Of Minnesota
and Dakota the crop is ali right so far,
but late rains have caused some appre'
hension. With cool and windy weather
there will be no damage. Reports from
the southern part of this state are not Sc
favorable as a week ago. Wheat is turn
ing yellow in places and much is going tC
head only six or eight inches above thu
ground. The entire northwest now hal
all the rain it can stand and any more we
weather accompanied by hot sun will Ger

THE LAKE GRAIN TRADE.
A Decision That Way Result in
Favor Of Anerlcan VesseIs

CHICAGO, July Collector Spalding
of this port announces that unless other
wise ordered he will refuse in the future
to clear grain laden Canadian vessels.
American vessels will be cleared under a
special manifesto, however, and the crafts
which are now loading for Canadian ports
will be allowed to depart as fast as they
get ready to go.
The Inte1'-Ocedn is authority for the
statement that vessel men are inclined to

WINDING UP TIME.
Hannah n. Gage.

wee, brown maid on the doorstep sat,
Her small face hid meath a wide-brimmed hat
A broken clock on her baby knee
She wound with an ancient, rusty key.
"What are you doing my pretty one?
Playing with Time?n l asked In fun.
Large and wise were the soft, dark eyes,
Lifted to mine In grave surprise.
"Ise windin him up TO make him go,
For he's 30 drefrul pokey and slow"
Winding up Time? All, baby mine,
How crawl these heightened moments OF thine
How sadly slow goes the staid old mani
But he has not changed, since the world began.
He does not change; but In after years,
When he mingles our cup OF JOY with tears;
And duties are many and pleasures neet,
And the way grows rough meath our tired feet
When the day ia too short for Its crowd OF cares,
And night surprises us unawares,
We do not wish TO hurry his feet,
But find his going all too feet
All, baby mine, some future day, ...
You will throw that rusted key away
And TO Phpbus car will madly cling,
As 1t whirs along, like a winged thing,
And wonder how, years and years ago,
You could ever have thought that Time was slow,
-chieago Current.
