an equally clear type OF the Teutonic
race. Tall, large-framed, slow of
Speech hesitating in manner, to cas-
ual observer there was nothing prepos-
sessing about the girl, and yet within the
two short weeks of their acquaintance, a
firm friendship had grown up between
these two, cemented by suffering and
fortitude on one side, and sympathy and
assistance on the other.
1t was the season of the Ohio floods,
and tho St. Clares, from their abund-
ance, had been lavish in expenditure
and prompt in offers of relief to the
refugees who stood in need. Rosa's sad
face and Annette's bright one had
proved mutually attractive, and when
the rich girl learned that the other was
an orphan and homeless, made SO by the
raging waters, her impulsive heart
opened to the friendless girl, and she
insisted upon taking her home. Rosa
was proud, and the thought of depend
ence on strangers was very trying.
''But you can help us so much" said
Annette, land we need just such help
as yours. What are your plans for the
futurc?"
Alas Rosa had no plans. A few days
before, happy with her father and
mother in the little home on the rivers
bank, she had tended her chickens, knit
her fathers socks, listened to her
mothers recital Of scenes in far-away
Germany, and built glorious air-castle,
-, x,D,t pla la1
across the ocean to visit the fatherland
Then came the storm. Four days and
nights it rained necessarily. Each day
tho river rose higher and higher, and
each day the prospect of fair weather
seemed less promising. The chicken
coops floated down on the tide, trees and
floating timbers obstructed navigation
and made communication with neighbors
hazardous, and still it rained and rained,
and rained.
Rosa's father became very impatient
lie must needs go out in his boat, and
learn the worst. Perhaps his neighbors
needed assistance; perhaps-but who
can account for restless mans whims?
Rosa only knew that her father went
out to his death; that there, within
sight of the window where she had
spent so many happy hours, her father
went down, struck by heavy timber,
and his boat, keel upwards, foated on
the stream.
The poor wife, rushing madly to his
rescue, found the water rising rapidly
around the house, and half frantic at
tho thought of her husbands death,
with still sufficient forethought for her
own and her daughter safety she made
her way to the out-houses, and for an
hour or two with almost superhuman
strength carried in article after article
that she felt they would need in case
the water rose so high as to cut them off
from all communication with land. Her
daughter accustomed to implicit obedi-
ence, and excited to unusual strength
by the event of the morning, took with
out complaint what her mother brought,
and placed it beyond the reach of the
terrible waters. 1t was only when the
PROSTATE form of the intrepid woman
lay across the threshold, half buried in
water, that either realized the danger
to which the mother had exposed her-

Corn is so plentiful some years
thai 1t Is ehesrer u burn it than to
ship il; wheat has been a drug on
the market for two or three seasons /;
beef cattle have been ''away down to
nothing" for two years. But there
is one crop that never goes down in
price, never overloads the market or
the stomach, and never increases
faster than the capacity of the popu-
lation to get away with it, and that
Strawberries.
The farmers of Vernon county,
No.. have found that strawberries
pay them better than wheat ever
did, even in the best of times.
Within five Years time the new
industry has developed; since five
years ago, according TO the Missouri
Republic, not carload of berries
was sent from Vernon county. This
year from one to three refrigerator
cars were shipped every day during
the season from Nevada. the railway
station, to Omaha. The county has
400 acres in strawberries.
The 400 acres yielded 2,952, 900
quarts, which make $4,000 crates,
and that makes 200 carloads. Now
a. to the receipts Of these carloads
of luciOusness. The berries average
to the farmers So q crate. That
brings into their county 1863, 600
this year, $s22,50 to the acre.
Strawberries need no great amount
of culture; there is not the loss in
them that there is in beef cattle, nor
the expense. As to the demand, as
long s. the earth's population in
creases in good sense, good taste
and intelligence. just that long Will
there be continually growing appe-
tite Tor strawberries, and that, we
hope and believe, viii be forever.
So let farmers who have access to
. quick market 60 in for strawberry
culture. ia the large cities the best
are seldom below Is and 20 cents q
quart at retail. The Almighty made
the strawberries especially to suit
the taste Of the most refined, mthet-

nearly they approach TO being all
these the better they will ike il.
