A Monkey Raid on a CornfleId.

When they get ready to start on their
expedition an old monkey, the leader
of tribe, with staff in his hand so as
to stand upright more easily, marches
ahead on two legs, thus being more
elevated than the others, so as to see
signs of danger more readily. The
rest follow him on all TOURS The lead
Ell advances slowly and cautiously,
carefully accommodating in all direct
ions, till the party arrives at the corn
field. He then assigns the sentinels
to their respective posts. All being
now in readiness the rest of the tribe
ravage and eat to their hearts content.
When they retire each one carries
two or three ears of corn along, and
from this provision the sentinels are
RECALLED on their arrival at their lair.
Here we see ability to rule and a will
ingness to submit to rule; thoughtful
preparation of means to the end in
view and a recognition of the rights of
the sentinels to be suitably rewarded
at the close of the expedition. Where
in does all this differ from similar
foray of tribe of savage men? The
only difference that really exists is in
degree, otherwise it is much the same.

A case in which a Young lady OF Lee
County, Texas. awaited herself Of the
privilege Of leap year with vengeance
Is reported by a local paper. The
young lady is a daughter of John A.
Maxwell, farmer and stock-raiser,
who lives sixteen miles in northeast
erly direction from Giddings, and who
is one of the most prominent, highly
respected, and well-to-do citizens Of
the county. The novelty about the
elopement is that, instead of the young
young man stealing away the bride
and assisting her in her fight, she actu-
ally went after and stole him away.
At the dead hour Of the night, after
they had retired, she stealthily left the
house, went TO the lot and saddled a
horse, and started to her lovers
house in binding rainstorm. In or
der to reach his home she had to swim
creek. After accomplishing this
brave feat she was safe, for by the
next morning the water was spread all
over the bottom, and pursuit was i'm
possible. Toledo Bee.

Western Lakes Driving Up.

The lakes in Eastern Oregon, as
well as in Nevada, are drying up. In
some instances the water in the lakes
is subsiding because the streams which
empty into them. have been diverted
from their natural channels for pur-
poses of irrigation, but the continuous
drought, doubtless, has had much to
do with the low stage of water in them
The Herald, published in the new
county of Harvey, Ore, says not over
four square miles of the original bed
of Warner Lake is now covered with
water, whereas in 1865 there was
seven feet of water where the land is
now dry, and this spring stack con-
tanning 800 tons of hay was burned on
land which in 1874 was surveyed as
Warner Lake. Goose Lake, which
once reached Lakeview, Ore, is now
five miles away, and Malheur Lake,
in Harvey County, is eight feet lower
than at any period within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. In this county
Humboldt Lake, which some years
ago comprised a sheet of water sixteen
or eighteen miles long and from eight
to twelve miles wide, is now only few
miles long and perhaps a mile or two
wide. The Humboldt has not dis
charged any water into the lake for
several years, and large area, which
was covered several feet with water at
one time, is now as dry as any other
part of the Humboldt Valley. 1t is a
fact, however, that the lake was as
low nine or ten years ago as it is to-
day, and that five years ago it was as
high as it was ever known to be. I'm
migrants in early days who saw the
Humboldt discharge an immense vol
ume of water into the lake, or sink, as
it was called, believed it had a sub
terranean outlet; but that idea was
erroneous, as the volume of water was
reduced by evaporation, not drainage.

The reports are more encouraging. There are

cotton is expected. Greater activity and better
prices in the stock market reflect a feeling OF
Increased confidence In the business outlook.
Wool Is q shade stronger, because prices asked

there is little IL any change yet In the attitude
OF manufacturers. Cotton is stronger,
and exports as well as receipts now
fall far behind last years, but the
crop reports from the South generally ia
vorable. There Is better feeling, but as yet
without improvement OF prices in the iron and
steel trade Accounts from interior cities are
without important change anywhere. Money
is everywhere in sufficient supply. The West
ern distributing centers are all encouraged by
eltionally favorable crop prospects, which
are also felt in speculative markets. A little
improvement appears in exports. The increase
in imports is about IL per cent. 1t is an evil
