Holding Back the Wheat Crop
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND CIRCULARS TO
FARMERS SENT FROM 1HIs CITY.

Holding Back the Wheat Crop.
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND CIRCULARS TO
FARMERS SENT FROM THIS CITY.
Washington Pot.
Mr.. II. w. Aver, Sec'y to President Polk
of the Farmers Alliance and manager
| in this city of the Reform Press Bureau y
which is also known as the "Alliance
Press Bureau" said yesterday that the
work of sending ont circulars designed to
show the farmers OF the country that "
was to their advantage to hold back the
wheat crop, was actively proceeding IN
this city as we'll as in ST. Paul, Mimi.
which was chosen as one of the seats of
operation because OF its location in the
great wheat belt. Mr.. Aver said that
there have already been 400, 900 of these
circulars sent ont from Washington, and
that during the next few days an average
of 100, OO0 day will be mailed until more
than a million circulars altogether are
issued. The circular, he SAID, will also be
published in about 1000 weekly papers
with which the bureau is connected.
He remarked that he could not say, of
course, that it was the circular which had
brought about the result, but he had
noticed in a recent market report that, as
a matter of fact, the actual movement of
wheat was 140 car loads less than had
been estimated.
Mr.. Aver said that the information that
the issue of circnlar 10y Alliance men
was in contemplation became public
prematurely about two weeks ago, when a
circular in course of preparation was pub
lisbed in newspaper. A iual decision
to issue the circular had not at that time
been reached, and many leading Alliance
men were unaware of it, but it had since
been finally determined upon. He ex-
planned that the executive committee of
the Alliance had not acted on this matter,
and that by the circular no order was
given to Alliance men to hold back their
crop, this being contrary to the methods
of the Alliance. What is done by this
circular is to give the farmers informa-
ton as to facts in regard to the worlds
wheat crop, with the suggestion that
wheat some weeks later than the pres
ent time will bring higher price.

youths Companion. /

A lady tells story of a young man
who had come from the country to the
city in which she lived, and in short
time fancied himself quite equal to any
social emergency. He never asked advice
on questions of etiquette, and in conse-
quence he made many mistakes. At one
time the lady issued cards to a dancing
party, and among the invited guests she
included this rather conceited and ex-
ceedingly awkward young man.
he was to be out of town at the date
OF the party, and so was unable to ac-
cept the invitation. At the foot of the
card he read the letters R. S. v. p. and
was much perplexed as to their meaning.
However, he was nothing daunted bv his
ignorance, and wrote note declining
the invitation in as formal and stilted
terms as he could command, and after
signing his name added the letters M. s.
G. G.
On his return to the city after the
party he went to call on the lady, and in
the course Of the conversation asked.
by the way, Mrs. Clapp, what did you
mean by r. S. V. p. at the end of the in
vitation you sent me?"
why" replied the hostess, without
note of surprise in her polite voice,
"they stand for the French phrase, Re
pondez, sill vous plait'-Answer, if you
please"
ooh, yesl Well, I was all right, then!"
said the young man in tone of much
satisfaction. 81 thought 1 should hit it
in my answer"
"Now that you speak of it," said his
courteous hostess, 81 do wish to ask you
what M. S. G. G. stands for. l can't
imagine, and l can't find any one who
has ever seen the abbreviation usedr'
"Oh," replied her visitor airily, ''that
meant Mighty sorry couldn't come. /

whv He Was at Home.

When the Confederate army was pour
ing through Richmond, ON its march
toward the Peninsula, the soldiers re-
ceived constant and substantial tokens of
the good will of the people of the region.
Women and children thronged the side
walks, pressing on their defenders every
thing which the scanty Confederate lar
der could supply, while from many of
the houses gloves, socks and comforters
rained down upon the companies. Mr..
7. @. DeLeon, in "Four Years in Rebel
Capitals" gives an incident connected
with this march of the sort which is
calculated to move the toughest soldiers
heart.
The southern soldier was ever cheer
full. animal, with a general spice of sar-
domc humor. Refreshed inwardly and
outwardly, the men would march down
the street, answering the waving hand
kerchiefs at every window with wild
cheers. Nor did they spare any amount
of chaff to those luckless stay-at-homes
encountered on the streets.
"Come outr that black coatl al
know ye'er conscrip'l Don't yer want
FER go for sojer?" Yere's yer chance ter
git yer substertootr
These and similar shouts, leveled at
the head ofsome unlucky wight, brought
roars of laughter from the soldiers and
from the victims unsympathetic friends.
AT one house pale, boyish looking
youth was noted at a window with a
lady. Both energetically waved hand
kerchiefs, and the men answered with a
yell, but the opportunity was too good
to lose.
"Come right along, sonnyl was the
cry. "The lady'l spare yer! Here's
little muskit fur YEP
"An right, boys!" cheerily responded
the youth, rising from his seat. "Have
you got leg for me too?" and Colonel
F stuck the shortest of stumps on
the window seat.
With one impulse the battalion halted,
faced to the window, and came to s'pre-
sent!' as their cheers ratified the win
dows of the block. That chord had
been touched by which the toughest SOL
dier is ever moved.

Why he Didn't have a Crutch.
rPhiladelphia Press.1

Three little boys were flying kites in
West Philadelphia, and another little
boy limped along with them, looking up
toward the sky at the bits of paper and
wood which were dancing and sailing
through the air. The other boys were
hearty, healthy youngsters, with red
cheeks and stout limbs, but the fourth
one was under size, pale, emaciated and
a cripple. Every step that he took
seemed to wrench his system, but still
he laughed and hobbled along in an I'M
calmly manner, enjoying, as well as he
could, the fun that the other boys were
having. A gentleman passing by called
to him, and he responded.
SLOW did you become crippled" he
asked.
81 had scarlet fever when | was a
baby" the child replied, hanging his
head as if he had been taught that his
infrmity was disgrace.
Wouldn't it be easier for you to walk
with crutch9" the gentleman asked.

gGstened in his eye, sit wouldn't hurt
me near SO much, sir, but mother, she
says she couldn't stand seeing me walk
around with crutch, and SO l don't do
it."
And so the little chap limped away,
never for the once thinking how cruel
his mother was to make him suffer so
just because she disliked the idea of hav-
ing him use crutcb

a TelegraphIst's Feat.
[London Tit Bits.


In connection with the opening of the
London and Paris telephone good story
is told of the early days of telegraphing,
when telephones were not yet thought
OF, and when conversation had to be car
ried on, metaphorically speaking, with
the help Of the Morse instrument. At
the time referred to there were two COM
peting companies working with the Con-
tinent. One was the Submarine, with
its Office in Threadneedle street: the
other the Electric and international,
with its offices in Telegraph street, not
many yards separating them. One
worked to France, the other to Holland.
Both used the Morse printing form Of
apparatus. The competition did not
prevent the respective stats from meet
ing in fraternal way, and on the occa-
sion in question it became evident that
two of them had been hobnobbing Just
before each took up his duty at the diff
ferent offices at II p. m.
At about ten minutes past II the tele-
graphist who was in charge of the relay
at Amsterdam was asked by Telegraph
street to join him up to Brussels. This
was done, and Brussels was requested to
switch him on to Calais, and Calais was
desired to join through to London. The
line thus formed was from London to
Orfordness, on the Norfolk coast; across
the North sea to Scheveningen, on the
Dutch coast; through Holland, through
Belgium, through France, across the
English channel and back by Dover to
London. And all this trouble was taken
by the Telegraph street man to ask his
"chum" in Threadneedle street ''if he
had picked up his pipe when leaving the
publ"
