The small grain in Olmstead county,
Minn., is mostly harvested, and it is the
best since 1877. Barley is not colored,
and all the grains are large, plump and
will yield largely. Corn has improved
rapidly of late.
But small fraction of grain in the
vicinity of Sioux Falls, s. D., is stand
ing. large share is already in stack
while the balance is in shock and en-
tirely beyond impairment by weather
conditions. Conservative farmers saw
twenty-five bushels per acre is a low
average for wheat.

THE FEMININE MIND.
What One Woman Can Do With street
Car When She Wants to Catch 1t.

What One Woman Can Do with Street
Car When She Wants to Catch It,
She was nice old lady with an even
ly balanced mind. One part of her
mind thought she would and one part
thought she wouldn't, and so it was
evenly balanced. She stood on the first
crossing and fiuttered her hand and
cried, stop! Stop!" as the car went
by. The driver had his orders and
would not stop at the first crossing.
She didn't know whether to swear or
cry. She wished she could do both.
When the car stopped at the other
crossing she looked longingly at it.
Then hope illumined her breast and
one part of her mind thought she could
catch that car, so she started for 1t, but
the other part of her mind thought she
couldn't catch it, so she stopped.
''Come on yelled the conductor.
She started again, but the driver
| looked as if he were going to start, 50
she stopped again.
Come ahead" said the conductor,
''if you're a-comin'."
| Then she came.
It was an open car with only two
plenty of room on every
seat First, she headed for one side OF
the car, then for the other, then her
| evenly balanced mind got stuck on the
center, and she stopped dead still.
s.An aboard" said the conductor,
reaching up for the bell cord.
! She threw her whole mind into one
side Of the balance and took the left
hand side of the car. She was about to
climb into the rear seat when the next
one to it seemed to bid for her She
had gathered up her skirt-front to climb
to the second when the third beckoned
for her. So she went up the car with
her mind nicely balanced between one
seat and another.
Then she began to go back, choosing
one seat after another, just as turkey
with its evenly balanced mind uses up
whole evening changing roosting
limbs and finally goes TO sleep on the
one it chose first. At last she clint
to the rear seat and sat beside man
who was smoking; sat there and shifted
and shifted and looked daggers until
the poor man threw his cigar away.
! Still there are people-philosopher:
they are Sometimes called-who persist
in saying that he who hesitates is lost
