The Great Historian.

George Bancroft has just returned
to Washington" says the Washington
correspondent of the Cleveland Leader.
II saw him on horseback yesterday. He
was coming in from a ride at just the
time the churches had finished their
morning service. Bancroft wore a suit
Of black, and his white locks were crown
ed with cap which had large visor
covering the eyes. The top of the cap
was fat and it sat close down upon the
head of the old historian. Mr.. Bancroft
leaned to the side as he rode, and he ap-
peared very tired, though he would
probably scorn this insinuation, George
Bancroft is now Sc years of age. His
form is thin and every atom of it is tough
as piece of curled walnut. BY continu-
GUS exercise and simple living he keeps
himself in splendid condition, and he
works right along year after year."

Coolidge Citizen: An instance of rail
road rates, came from Burton in this
wise A citizen of that place purchased
2 car load Of horses in St. joe a few days

Office they gave him the following rates
for the car: To Burton, 81; to Newton,
$3.50, and to Hutchison, S20.50. He

Manhattan Mercury: Prof. Snow Of

With one exception (1879) this was the

fifth successive month with deficient
rainfall. The total rainfall from Janua-
ry 1st to November 1st has been more
than two inches less than for the same
period in any previous year of our
record. The first white frost of the sea
son occurred on the 1st, which is the

black-frost occurred on the 27th-nine
days later than the average date.
Hutchinson Interior Herald: Newton
is an enterprising village. A man up
there has invented a flying machine.
Three or four weeks ago he fastened a
pair of sheepskin wings to his back and
climbed up on his barn for the purpose of
taking trip in the air. just before the
time set for his departure he pulled off
his shoes and stockings and fastened a
sort of skin rudder around his feet. Then
he smiled at his wife, who was watching
him through the kitchen window, and
jumped off. Some how or other he for
got to flop his wings and wag his rudder,
and in less time than it takes to tell it he
was sitting on the cold cheerless earth.
Although he received a broken leg, he
still has confidence in the flying appa-
Tatus and intends to make another ex-
pertinent some day next month.

RIPENING AND KEAPING.

The sun beats down in fierce and burning rays
On shaven fields, and fruits and golden
sheaveG
The southern breeze scarce moves the pendant
leaves,
And languid quiet marks these summer days,
Knee-5eep in pools the drowsy cattle stand:
No trout dare venture from his cool retreat,
And from the groves, once filled with voices
sweet,
No note is heard from all the feathered band.
Adown the meadow and along the plain,
When heated labor courts the shetering shade,
The strOng-armed mower with the flashing
blade
Still cuts the swaying grass and bending grain.
How calm and solemn seem these August days.
This mid-life of the growing, changing year;
How full Of promise for the Autumn near,
When field and garden yield their annual praise.
Strains and external injuries are the chief
causes of weak ankles and joints. By the
free use of Salvation Oil a cure will be Of
fected in a short time.
