STOCK AND FARM.

Caldwell Journal: Mr.. W. 81. Collins
has one Of the best yearling colts in this
section of the country. He was year
and twelve days old last Tuesday when
Mr.. Collins weighed him. He is a
Clydeedale.
Harold Record: R. D. Hotchkiss, of
Atwood, just finished putting out q
vineyard Of 100000 grape vines. He
has good location for a vineyard,
and lots of faith in Northwestern Kan
sas as having a grape-growing climate.
Dexter Free Press: $4,000 worth Of
stock was shipped from here in one
train by Moon & Peabody, consisting Of
two cars of hogs and thirteen of cattle.
The stock was an uncommonly fine lot,
and when on the market ought to bring
top prices.
Osborne News: A hail storm the
other night destroyed all the small
grain in Round Mound township, with
the exception of about 100 acres. This
is a big loss to the farmers, as they
have raised but very little for the past
two years, and they were depending on
this crop to pay their debts. And We
never had finer prospect for small
grain, and in ten days more harvest
would have begun. The course of the
storm was very nearly from west to
east, and about ten miles wiie. We
never heard of one that did so much
damage. Houses and stables were un-
rooted and blown to pieces. The hail
stones were about the size of lemons
and about seventeen thousand to the
square inch.
Junction City Union: The startling
discovery has recently been made that
not less than eighty acres OF wheat in
Mr.. Fogarty's promising field north of
the brick factory has been killed. The
straw has made rank growth, but the
berry has been killed. In some heads
the berry was formed and in the milk
when' it was killed. while in other heads
the berry does not appear to have been
formed. The location of the injured
wheat is such as to indicate conclusive
ly that the smoke caused the injury.
Near the kilns on the east, west and
north sides of the field the wheat is I'M
injured. In the center, and nearer the
kiln, in an area over which the smoke
would naturally go, the wheat is killed.
The sunhowers and leaves on the trees
in the vicinity of the kiln are also killed.

An Odd Case.

John Harkins, of Boston, ordered
. $50 suit of clothes to be delivered
G. o. D. When the clothes were de-
ivered Harkins gave the boy a $50 bill
in payment. As the boy was going,
Harkins suggested that the bill be put
into an envelope for greater security.
The boy handed the bill to him, he
apparently put it into an envelope.
When the envelope was opened by the
tailor it contained 81 bill. Harkins
was arrested. charged with having sub
stituted the 81 for the $50 bill, and was
convicted of larceney of the clothes.
When he was brought up to be SEN
fenced, his counsel moved for q new
trial on the ground that the prisoner
was not guilty of larceny, as he did
steal the clothes; it was not larceny of
the money, as he did not steal it; it
could hardly be false pretenses, as he
actually paid the money to the tailor's
agent, who gave it back to him. Sem
tence was suspended. = Neau York

The license law of Sweden forbids
any person buying drink without pur-
chasing something to eat at the same
time. Brandy is the national drink
and it cannot be sold in quantity less
than two bottles. As the poor are un-
able to purchase drink often in this
way, the law is said to have greatly
promoted temperance habits.

A RECORD of one hundred times ar
rested was left by a New Haven man,
who died insane. His arrests were
chiefly for drunkenness, and it was
through his excuses that his mind gave
way. It was one of his tricks, when
arrested, to throw his shoulder out of
joint, and then by frantic groans to so
icit the sympathy of the officers in
charge. He was about 70 years of age.

Something below the surface of the waves
caught him and dragged him swiftly down

to get away, but in vain. One Of his legs
was held as if in wise. His head VIII irled.

TRIPLES.

The little joys and little cares,
They come upon us unawares-
And life is smiles, or frown IL wears
The foes that tramp unheraldeG,
No banner carried at their head,
These leave the heart dried up and dead
A hand clasp at the garden gate,
A whisper when the moon is late
And strength is ours to conquer fate.
o trifling acts for veal or woe!
The pain would not harass us so.
The gladness not as sudden go.
II We could draw a freer breath,
IL we could push aside dread death,
And hear untired the words God saith,
So much to do ere hands are cold;
so far to fare ere limbs grow old;
So much to say ere story's told
That we lose sight Of better things;
Forget, in all our wanderings,N
To use loves buoyant sweeping wings.
And l, yes l, sometimes forget
To lure away your care and fret,
And kiss the cheeks that tears have wet.
Here let us pledge ourselves anew,
Zach to the other, open, true
Lest life lose all its morning dew.
Who knows what day we say good-by?
When one shall in the churchyard lie
Let us cling closer, you and l.
