BEATS THREE OF A KIND.
Neither Allisen, Hawley Nor sher'
man KNEW the Date Of Their Con
ventiOn.
Washington Special. May 9th. !

Washington Special, May 9Th.
Senator'S and Representatives are
chuckling quietly over story recently
put in circulation by inimitable Sena-
tor Tom Bowen, Of Colorado. Bowen
was arranging for . trip TO the wilds
of the State OF his adoption, and hav-
ing plenty Of time to spare proposed
to take in the Republican Convention
on his way to Chicago. The exact
Edate set for holding this great political
meeting had escaped him, but catch
ing sight OF Senator Allison as he sat
on sofa in the senate cloak-room, he
strolled over and inquired of him the
day and hour.
sH-m, let me see,r said Allison, re-
flectively; Il think it is some time
early in June, bat the exact date has
slipped my memory. Hawley there
can tell YOU" Considerably surprised
that the senator from Iowa should
take so little interest in the approach
ing council of his party, Bowen walked
over 70 Hawiey's seat and repeated his
question.
"The convention ?" said the Con-
necticut senator. .Why, oh yes-why,
it's funny l don't recall the date just
about the middle of June; but. upon
my word, forget its exact date.
Seems to me it's the 18th or f6th-per-
haps n little earlier. BY the way,
Senator sherman over there can tell
YOU exactly Bowen was growing a
trifie sceptical at all this senatorial
ignorance, but resolved to try once
more.

where about the 18th, think; mebby

exact date Here, ito a page) get
Jsas. Thafll show the date"
Well calculated Bowen, as he
turned away. this beats three of n
kind and pair. A hot favorite and
two dark horses. and not one of them
knows when the flag will drop Then
walking up to bright-looking young
clerk, who happened 10 he in the
chamber, he asked:
"Can you tell me when the Republi-
can convention meetsf'
June 10" was the prompt response,
No guess work, now, insisted Bow
en-. II want To make time table on
that date. How do you know it's the
18th ?"
Because I've read it a hundred
times to-day" replied the clerk. I've

lars for Senator Sherman, reminding

Inquiries About this Section.

Mr.. Ed. Neuwirth recently wrote letter
descriptive of this section to the Farm and
Fireside, an agricultural journal Of which
he is q subscriber, and q consequence is he
is:deluged with letters of inquiry from all
portions Of tho Northwest, the writer's de-
string to immigrate hero if all conditions
are satisfactory. We append two letters
recently received by Mr.. Nouwirth to give
an idea of the character of information de-
sired that those who are interested may
take steps to furnish same, Mr.. Neuwirth
having no direct interest i'll the matter and
not the time to answer all inquirers. He
informed us, however, that he had answer
ed at least dozen letters similar to the
following:
BRIGHTON, TENN, Aug. 2. 1883.
Mr.. E. 4. Neuwtfta-I noticed in a late
issue of the Farm Fireside a letter by
you in regard to your section. You stated
that lands covered with Bermuda grass
were plentiful and could be bought for a
song. I suppose they are old cotton farms
which have boon taken by the Bermuda.
would like for you 10 write at what prices
they can be bought and whether they are
fertile. My idea is that fertile lands will
produce better Bermuda than thin lands.
Are the lands you speak of subject TO over
How? I imagine your section around
Monroe is rather swanpy or overftowing
lands. How far are those cheap lands from
the way you SPEAK of managing them. !
would like you to write to me and give me
particulars OF your section and such lands.
Respectfully,
w. y. WILSON.

wrote to Farm and Fireside, l wrote and
asked them for your name, and will now
take the liberty to ask yon few questions.

Won will do me q great favor.
l-What is the price per acre for land
suitable for raising the hay?
s>-What is the cost per acre of getting the
ground ready for a crop?

bale your crop, or in other words, the
