They Want to Know, You Know.

The Cresco Union Farmers ALI
ance has adopted the following resolu-
tions, the first calling on the officers
Of the Howard County Agricultural
Society for an iteMized statement Of
its receipts and expenditures for the
year 1890, and the second requesting
the publication thereof, as follows:
RESOLVED, That we, the members
of Cresco Union Alliance No. 1860,
would respectfully ask the officers OF
Howard county Agricultural Society
to publish an itelnized statement OF
receipts and expenditures for the
year 1890.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary
furnish copy Of the foregoing resolu-
ton with a request to have it pub
lished. JOHN STEINMAN,
Secretary.
Perhaps the farmers would like to
know just what part OF the $685.. 20
came from the privilege sold to the
gamblers and what portion from
those who furnished the food and
necessaries of life on the fair ground
during the fair. 1t does seem that
the two privileges" are separable.
The President in his address at the
annual meeting, January Q, 1891 in
reviewing the struggles Of the society
claimed that the society had held two
successful fairs, paid its premiums in
full and was out Of debt. The secre-
tary followed with q showing OF the
financial condition, stating that the
society was in debt only 400.
The present secretary however stat
ed to the editor Of this paper that at
the time that statement was made
the society was in debt some where
about twice the sum stated by Nc
Hugh. The financial statement pub
lished was as follows:

the COMING MILLIONS.

Jim Croker lived far in the woods solitary
place,
Where the bushes grew, like whiskers, on his
unrazored face;
And the black bear was his brother, and tho
catamount his chum,
And Jim he lived and waited for the millions
yet to come.
Jim Croker made clearing and he sowed It
down TO wheat,
And he filed his lawn with cabbage and he
planted IL with beet;
And 1t blossomcd with potatoes, and with peach
and pear and plum,
And Jim he lived and waited for the millions
yet to come.
Then Jim he took his ancient axe and cleared
u forest street,
While he lived on hear and succotash and
young oppossum meat.
And lis rhythmic axe strokes sounded and the
woods no more were dumb.
While he cleared a crooked highway for tho
millions yet to come.
Then they came like aimless stragglers, they
came from far and near,
A lite log house settlement grew round tho
rioncer
And the sound Of saw and lroadaxe made a
glad industrial hum,
Jim said THE Coming Millions, they havo
just DeBun 10 come
And little crooked railway wound round
mountain. hill, and lake,
Crawling toward the forest village like an un-
dulating snake;
And ole morn the locomotive pufred into tho
wilderness,
And Jim said "1'he Coming Millions, they arc
coming by express"
And the village grew and prospered, but jim
Croker's hair was grayer;
When they got a city charter and old jim was
chosen Mayor;
But Jim declined the honor, and moved his
household goods
Far away into the forerst, to the old primeval
woods
Far and far into the forest moved the grizzed
pioneer,
There he reared his hut and murmured, ~
will build a city here"
And he hears the woodfox barking, and he
hears the partridge drum,
And the old man sits and listens for the mil
lions yet to come

One day last week customer in one
of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her turn to be served
and idly watching the woman who
was claiming the attention Of the clerk
at the moment There was nothing
about her to attract second glance.
She looked to be close upon 90 years of
age, her hair was very gray. though not
white, and a pair of rather dark eyes
looked out from colorless unimpressive
face. In figure she was short and small.
and the black costume she wore was
simple to plainness. Yet when she gave
her name and address for parcel to be
sent it was realized that this little
woman of insignificant appearance was
one whose name Is years ago was in
everybody's mouth from one end of the
country to the other, and whose person.
ality at that time was almost as well
known as her name. She was Mrs
Theodore Tilton. New York Times.

Facts About the Queen of sheba.

It's rather late to learn the truth about
the Queen of Sheba. Nevertheless, the
Academy of Inscriptions is greatly exer-
cised about this subject One of its
members thinks that he has discovered
that Sheba was in Arabia, and that the
queen was the mother Of Aben Solomon,
who founded a kingdom in Ethiopia.
She went to Jerusalem on conquest bent,
and would have liked to stay there.
But the wise Hebrew thought she would
be hard to manage, and a more useful
ally in her own country. He therefore
sent her back laden with presents and
fired with ambitious projects. We may
expect one of these days to see her per-
sOnated by Sara Bernhardt in an Old
Testament drama by Sardou. i London

Some Ought to Die.
However, those who have seen much
of the inside life of comic journals and
other journals with comic departments
know that this kind of work like pretty
much every other kind, may be made
almost completely mechanical. There is
regulation way to make a ipke-that
is to say, a regulation joke Or course.

cend all rules, and the great jester is

have been professional funny men who

ton. For instance, it is we'll known that
the proprietor of a certain great New
York daily newspaper hasa habit of mix
ing his editors all up periodically, to
prevent them from sliding into ruts, and
to give each department the benefit Of
fresh ideas (and fresh ignorance) from
time to time he changes his men all
about transferring the sporting editor
to the financial department. setting the
live stock reporter at work writing po-
litical editorials, and so on.
Now it chanced that in one of the mix
ups the funny column fell to the lot of a
reporter who did not know joke from
logarithm-who had no more sense of
humor than haystack. He was &C.
customed to obey, however, and he
went to work making jokes His first
attempts were something wonderful to
read. People with pale faces stopped
one another on he street, pointed out
with trembling fingers these jokes, and
asked if they really read as they had
read them; and when they were
answered that they did, they drew deep
breaths of relief and passed on. Friends
of the proprietor of the paper begged
him to make a change. and declared to
him that there We're some things that
the paper could not stand. But he ad-
hered to his program and kept the
man at work, and in the course of time
the new funny man made jokes that
were copied in other papers for jokes.
