There is sorrow in eastern Connecticut, and
in all seaboard New England, too, it is said,
for the bean crop is likely to be failure,
There have been no first rate bean seasons in
several years, and beans have been scarce and
high. Cold, wet summers have caused the
trouble All the virtue in a bean ran into
vines, no matter whether it was planted in
the fall or the old or new Of the moon, for all
the moons were wet ones, and frost fell in the
autumn before the pods could ripen.
A wall came over the telegraph wires into
Connecticut from Boston the other day de
manding all the beans there were in the Nut
meg state at any cost; but Connecticut
could not spare many for her suffering sister
state.
The price Of beans was never so high before
in the land Some farmers in this state had
difficulty in getting enough for seeding last
spring, and what we're planted acted just as
badly as did the crop last season. The vines
ran right upa twelve-foot pole, wrapped it in
foliage as dense as that Of a hop vine, and
then scared skyward from the top Of the
pole, making a flying tangle of wreaths and
tendrils in the air.-Wilimantic Conn.,

in diameter and a column IS feet in diameter
This viii be surmounted by a solid capital il
the form of a roof, supported by pairs of pill

day, across prominent evangelist whose
name is known throughout the length and
breadth Of the continent, and who is beyond
a doubt universally regarded as one of the
ablest men in his profession. During the
conversation which took place the Salvation
Army was discussed, and the evangelist gave
it as his opinion that while that organization
had many disagreeabie features, he had
grown TO look upon it as one Of the great
powers for good, and that it filed purpose
which nothing else could answer.
There are certain substrata of society"
he said, (which it is almost impossible for us
to reach. There are undercurrents Of degra-

could, and do a work which is certainly a
grand one in its way. st. Louis Republic.

Tom had tan shoes SO must they. / averted
the storm by taking them all three down
town and fitting them out as they wished,
and then l thought my troubles were surely

had flannel shirts and tan shoes had also
