last one day the Great King, who had
seen how well they tried to do,
thought they deserved their pretty
clothes and golden crown which he
gives to all who are good and do what
they can.
It was beautiful day, the day Of
GROWING. Father Sun shone bright
ly as he kissed his sunbeams and sent
them dancing gaily away to waken the
inhabitants of the palace for the
browning.
Prof. Rain came gently in the
morning to give the brothers short
lesson. How they did wish the other
brother had been with them
Then the Sunbeam fairy children
placed the crowns On the Golden-rod
brothers, and Immediately the birds
burst forth into q sweet song. The
trees bent their stately heads as Lady
Wind passed gently through to kiss
the beautiful brothers. The flowers
looked up and smiled at them.
Everything seemed happy.
The brothers held reception all
day long, So many dear old friends
came to see them, and to say how
happy they were to see them crowned.
Their last visitor was a dear little
boy who took them to hospital to
little sick child, poor wee girl.
"She cannot come here to see the
pretty things, can I take this Golden
rod to her, mamma he said, and the
mother answered, eyes," and smiled.
The Great King smiled, too, and
was pleased. When the sick little
girl saw the Golden-rod brothers, she
clapped her thin hands, and the Gold
en-rods nodded and smiled at her,
and whispered, 'Dear little girl, we
are so glad to help make you happy.
Our Father, the Great King, gave us
these bright robes and these golden
crowns. We love him so much, and
we are trying more and more to be
good and to do what we can. And
you will try, too, and you will love
him, for he loves us, every one"
"And will he give me a golden
crown, too?"
eyes, he will crown every one of
his loving children.
Then the child fell asleep and
dreamed that the Great King brought
golden crown and placed it on her
head with his own loving hand, that
the Golden.rod brothers danced about
her and sang,
HE loves us,
He loves us. every one" .,. .

Over on Desplaines street is a web
10 dortail grocer who came here from
Germany some years ago and has
grown up with the city. Along in the
early '1OS there was q popular dye
house next door 10 his grocery store,
and in the backyard there was num-
Der OF dye yats and a great tank in
which the dyer jeIlOusly guarded a
good supply Of soft rain water, in
which lac rinscd out the garments sent
him TO bc clean srd. For many weeks
the German grocer had had his eve on
this rain water tank. and had thought
how delicious would be bath ia It's
cool depths. One warm, moonlight,
midsummer night the grocer looked
into the dyer's backyard and the CLINT
of tie mUonbeams on thc rain water
tempted him sarsi.. Along about
midnight without aging "a word %
any one, the GcHual sneaked out of
his back docs soap I'd towel in hand,
cautiously Scaled Ia, ience aud gained
the dyer's yard. In he shadow Of the
rain water tank he diSIobed, and then
he vaul,el into tie lellucid wafer
The sensation Was delicious.
The sly German splashed around in
the water. lithering himself thorough
ly with the soap, and chuckled 10
think Of the CONSERVATION of Lis
neighbor, the dyer. when he found
his rain water full of soapsuds the fol
lowing morning. After while lac
hoped out, rubbed himself dry with
his towel, jumped into his clothes, and
climbed over into Lis own yard. He
went into the house and, as he entered
his wifes room, she screamed and
called for the police. He looked sur
prised and asked what she was yelling
shout She recognized his voice and
asked where on earth lie had been. He
grinned aud told her. Then she asked
him to look in the glass When he
did So he fell back in astonishment
He was darkly, deeply, beautifully
blue; even 10 his blonde whiskers and
hair. The adventurous German dis
robed aud the dyer was summoned.
He howled when hc saw the grocer,
and explained that be had put blue
dye in the rain water tank that after
noon. Chemicals were used on the
unfortunate grocer for hours, but 10
this day blue spots can be found all
over him. But it was always one Of
his proudest boasts that he would live
and dye in Chicago.-Chicago Herald.

tween two prominent young men al

him to wait until they met again, and
they would then shoot it out. This
agreement was satisfactory.

A Short Crop in Georgia.

ATLANTA, September 14.-The rains
since the 1st of August have made vast
difference in the cotton crop, and the
present outlook is that in Georgia it will
be at least % per cent short. This in.
formation comes from the department. Of
agriculture of the State through an in.
terview with Col. John Waddell, COM
missioner. He says:
-FOUR report of the condition of the
crop of September was 81 per cent OF
the average. That was falling off of -
points during August. This was due to
rust, caused by excessive rain, and the
same cause will depreciate the condition
of the crop at least 10 points more by
the time our October reports come in.
The rains of the past two weeks have
made the rust much worse, and there is
already an additional damage of 10 points
since the lst of September. I have been
nearly all over the State, and know
whereof I speak. Rust is particularly
bad in Southwest Georgia. In North
Georgia the condition of the crop is
better, but the best reports come from
Counties where there is not much cotton
raised" !"

Advances on Cotton.

NASHVILLE, Sept. l3.-A special
from Montgomery, Ala, says: a prom
inent member Of the Farmers Alliance
stated in the city this morning that the
cotton committee Of the Alliance has
perfected arrangements with syndicate
of European capitalists to advance $32
per bale upon q million bales of cotton
at yearly interest of 4 per cent.
The farmers will be allowed to store
their cotton. and on the warehouse re-.
ceipts the advance arranged for will be
paid, while the farmer will have the privi-
lege of selling the cotton at any time
within twelve months.
Prominent cotton men think that the
withdrawal of this amount of cotton from
the market will tend to advance the
price of cotton within twelve months to
u or 13 cents per pound.

Owen, a primitive Baptist preacher, was
convicted of disturbing public worship
and using obscene language in the pres.

sational one, Owen having committed the
offences while in the pulpit of one of
his churches. He was conducting re-
viyal meeting, which was attended by a
number of ladies who were not members.
One day Owen denounced these ladies
who refused to believe his teaching end
join his church in unmeasured terms, ap.
plying to them the vilest of epithets.
This brought on riot in the church.
The gentlemen, relatives and friends of
the insulted ladies, trying to mob the
preacher. The riot broke up the meet
