WHAT a level-headed man CHAUN-
CEY DEPEw is, to be sure. In his speech
at the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the New York World building,
Mr.. DEPEw said: ''The brains, bust
ness, mental yigor, culture and COM
mon sense of the modern newspaper
make possible American literature and
perpetuate American liberty" Mr..
DEPEw has spoken the truth, and
spoken it well; but if he had ever been
through mud-sIinging campaign, he
would have spoken it with bated breath.

There's three pockets in it; it's
double pOcketbook."
"Three pockets on each side?" Inc
quired the court.
That's it. Then there is place to
put paper money in.''

place where you put the bills Is blue"

Historian
George Bancroft, the
venerable historian,
VINO recently celebrat-
ad his eiUbtV-ninth
Bancroft.

ed his eighty-ninth
birthday, is on visit TO friends in New
York city. Still hearty and strong, he
takes great enjoyment i'll life, and looks
at least ten years younger than he real
ly is. His hair is snOwwhite, and his
cheeks are somewhat sunken, but his
eyes are as bright and sparkling as
man of thirty. | paid the noted man
visit in his apartments at the BrevOOrt
house yesterday. He chatted and
laughed and told good stories, discussed
national and local politics. and said his
health was so good that he became
frightened at times for fear lie might
be called away too suddenly. He
predicted that New York would become
the greatest city in the world, and that
there was time coming when it would
include New Jersey and Long Island
towns. Brooklyn, he believed, would
join hands with New York in very
few years. He said New York, in his
opinion. was the only place that the
worlds fair could properly be held.
His argument was that it is tbs most
convenient city for the people of Amer
lea and foreign visitors, and that it was
the only city that could really accom-
mOdate the millions that would visit
the fair. He hoped that the committee
men who arc now doing their work so
slowly would brace up and do their
duty, as it would be q pity to have the
fair 90 West.

AHARD QUESTION.
Can Colby Teachers AnsWes it Properly.

Rather funny question has come up
for general discussion here. one upon
which it would be supposed that every
school boy in the land could answer, and
chat is the birth place of President Har-
rison. The question was included in the
list for the teachers examination last
Saturday, and the many answers gave
rise to the question, which yet remains
unsettled. Prof. Harris, becoming unset
tied in his opinion because of SO many
answers, started around town on a tour
of inquiry, which developed the fact that
there was an abundance Of ignorance on
this matter. Everybody had an opinion,
bat no positive knowledge, and the opin-
ions were SO diversified that they only
added TO the confusion. Ohio is the fav
orite state, while Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania close followers while Old Virginia
has advocates. The grades of certificates
issued depend some what on this question,
and the curiosity aroused would like to
be satisfied on this topic. If any generous
exchange has any positive knowledge on
this point. the Blade would be glad to re-
-ccive il, and if you are fond of amuse-

Mr.. Ballard'a Parrot.

David Henderson, manager of the Chicago
opera house, aided and abetted by his treas
urer, Mr.. Prior. concluded to make Mr.
Harry Ballard a present Having spent q
day in knocking about the stores looking for
something suitable. they wound up the search
by purchasing a parrot. It was taken to
Mr.. Billiards. room while he was absent.
Prior to the sending, however, Messrs. Hem
derson and Prior taught the bird many say
inss which they thought would be comforting
to him. He went one night to his room after
his work, and retired Immediately. As sleep
wcoed him he heard voice:
''This is fine time Of night for you to be
coming home"
Mr. Ballard is not accustomed to hear such
talk There is no occasion for it. The first
thought that occurred to him was that he
satisfied himself that he had not, and again
pillowed his head for sleep. When,
What head you'll have on you to-mor-
row." broke in upon his ears. This was un-
called for Mr. Ballard arose and looked in
his mirror. He examined his ice water cooler.
Nothing there but water. He again went to
bed
'Next time you go out you'd better take
Inc along" was muttered in his ears, and he
got up again and did what few men ever do,
looked under his bed, and then in the closet.
Nothing anywhere, and again he went to bed
"Where did you get that hatr' was pro-
pounded in awful solemnity, and he sprung
from bed, turned up the gas, and threw up
the window sash
He sat there until morning dawned, and
then retired. He slept When he awoke it
was noon. And glancing up at the top of his
wardrobe he discovered the parrot in his
cage, with u card hung on the door, "Compli-
ments Of Henderson and Prior"
He has tried in vain to sell that parrot, and
he can't give it away. He has sent it to sew
eral places, only to have it returned, and now
he walks tho streets at night, an unhappy
man, afraid to 60 to his own room.-Chicago

APPROXIMATE VALUE.

The totals were such a surprise TO us
that we have concluded to ask you to
publish them.
In considering this matter it must be
bourn in mind that all of the grain to be
sold has not been marketed
1t must also be bourn in mind that the
county has raised its own bread stuffs
and raised and retained its own seed for
planting the new crop.
If the county can do rs we'll as this up
on the comparatively small grain crop of
1899 how much better may we reasonably
expect it to do upon the large crop put
IN this fall
1t is estimated by those who are in
position to know that the wheat crop
acreage for 1890 will reach 10000 acres in
Thomas county.
1t is not our purpose to make any cal
culations upon these matters. as we pre-
fer to leave that to those who are better
posted upon this sort of business, but We
give the figures above. aed they can be
relied upon. and we have no doubt the
wide-awake farmer will see something
to profit therin.
The farmer who is asleep will no doubt
keep right on sleeping and in his short
intervals of wakefulness, continue to
cuss the country.
II seems to us that if the farmers of
this county will turn their attention to
crops which are adopted to our soil and
| climate. and not try to farm so much
upon the Iowa and Missouri plan. that
We shall soon be out of the woods, the
country will go ahead. and the farmers will
prosper in spite of chinch- bugs, hot
winds, three per cent. men and other ma
tural enemies of the agriculturalists.
Respectfully,
