STOCK AND FARM.

The Bird City News claims that Chey-
enne county has produced the best
crops this year of any county in the
northwest.
Greenleaf Journal: Farmers are bring
ing to town some specimens of corn
and vegetables, and at the final wind-up
of the season we are confident the
average crop of the former will be
much better than has been anticipated.
The county of Washington never has a
failure and this year will have enough
surplus grain, cattle and hogs to feed
half of the New England states at least.
Clearwater Sun: The Wichita stock
yards received 1854 cars of hogs from
March l to September 10, and OF this
amount Clearwater furnished 104 cars,
or over one thirtieth of the whole. This
is the largest shipper by big majority,
Kingman coming next with IS cars.
Both of these towns are in the MINES
cab valley, and the foregoing shows not
only that it is the best hog raising por-
ton of the state, but also that the farm
ers have been prosperous and able to
carry considerable stock.
Chetopa Democrat: VIM. Collins, OF
Kenneson, told US that during storm
several days ago he had horse struck
by lightning, and when found it was
thought to be nearly dead. But he at
once began treating the animal and now
it is as we'll as ever. For nearly two
weeks the animals head was swollen
nearly as large as wash tub, and it's
tongue protruded from its mouth fully
four inches. During this time the ami
NAL could not eat bite, and Mr.. Col
Inns procured large syringe and fed it

Mrs. THEODORE TILToN is sad and
lonely woman, with silver-streaked
hair, a careworn face and stopped fig
ure. who frequents Lincoln Park in
Chicago with her grandchildren.
Every pleasant morning in the year
she goes to the pleasure ground, but is
seldom recognized, and is never seen
speaking to any. one. She lives with
her married dsugeter, who contributes
to the family income by water-colored
paintings, many of which as very
lovely in conception and treatment.

BoARDNG-HoUsE inmates soon learn
to appreciate tender meat, and will
eagerly seek the place where it is fre-
quently served. A Chicago man hit
upon an ingenious plan to secure q
boarding house where eating would be
a pleasure instead of tiresome, teeth
grinding exercise. He asked butcher
to direct him to the house where he
sold the best meat. The butcher cheer
fully did so, and the man was soon
thereafter installed in boarding house
where the delicacies of the table are
good and plentiful.

The greater portion of oil wooden
ships that are salable, whether in this
country or in Europe, are purchased by
German merchants. Working on
small capital they buy those that are
leaky, put presentable and cheap, cop
per-bottom them and start them on
their travels again. Most of the old
wooden vessels of this country fly the

placid countenance is now deeply fur

has aged twenty. It is said that she

Benevolent MIR. Jones.

We were waiting at the depot at
Texarkana when young man pulled
out thimblerigging outfit and began
to call for bets against his game. If it
was against the law no one interfered
with him, and in few minutes he had
worked up quite an excitement. Twas
with q friend from Buffalo, and we
were not "in." However, as we sat
apart from the crowd benign and be-
nevolent-looking man about so years
old came over to US and said:
Gentlemen, 1 am Mr.. Jones, of st.
Louis. have four sons. This is q
wicked, wicked world, and I take every
precaution to guide them in right paths.
1 have heard of this game, but never
saw it before. Iwant to play it-just
little. I shall lose, of course, and
that will make strong point for me
when warning my boys against such
temptations. I can prove to them that
it is skin game"
"Well?"
well, I have no small money. IL
you could change a $40 bill for me I
think I'd lose about SIS for the benefit
of my boys"
The Buffalo man said he'd be ONLY
too happy to oblige. and he gave him
four fives.
The benevolent Mr.. Jones disap-
peared at once, but we didn't worry
about that. 1t was only when my
friend went to the ticket Office and had
the $40 thrown back at him as n. e.
that we went out to look for the benign
father of four sons. The earth had
swallowed him up.-Ne,o York Sun.

The admission of six States to the
Union in one year is without precedent
and there is no possibility of its having
a parallel. The nearest approach to
this record was in 1916 when Florida,
Iowa and Texas we're admitted. We
have now twenty-five States east OF
the Mississippi River and nineteen west
of it. When four more Western States
are constituted, that river will almost
exactly divide the Union in two, so far
as the number of States are concerned
The only portion Of the country not
under the government of some State
are the District of Columbia, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma, the
Indian Territory and Alaska.

A FEW days since,,a man living in
the west wanted to pay off grudge
against q neighbor without any risk to
himself, and placeda dynamite cartridge
in sheaf of wheat. The cartridge was
discovered before it went into the
thrasher, and no one was hurt. This
suggested an idea to an Ohio coward,
who tried the same plan and succeeded
in blowing up the machine. burning
the barn and injuring several men, but
killing no one II bad examples were
as slowly followed as good, what a fine
thing it would be.
