The Dog Knew.

A few weeks after my marriage we
went to our future home, u farm ten
miles from tile town of IL, which
was my husbands birthplace and the
home of his family. M. E he'd
kept bachelors hall for 4 year.
Among his possessions was beautiful
setter dog. Bounce. who soon became
much attached to ne. LIE followed me
everywhere. anil in the frequent absence
Of my husband from tho house Eeyer
allowed me to get out Of his sight.
We often drove to l. for visit of
several days, and sometimes to my own
home. thirty miles away. On our re-
turn the dogs delight was very pleas
ant welcome, and when Mr.. E. got
out of the buggy to open. the gate,
Bounce, after greeting him, would jump
into the vacant place in tho buggy and
he and would drive MP to the house.
Once, however. Mr. E. was al
ready at home and 1. with small,
precious bundle of humanity drove up
in the old carriage from my mothers.
When VIC arrived 40 ore was in sight,
although we were expected during the
day.
We were in the house, and baby was
lying quietly on the bed, before Mr..
E heard Of our arrival and hurried
in, closely followed by Bounce. My
welcome VIC more delnonstrative than
usual, as it was long since the -d aca had
seen me. In little while turned to
the bed, ai.I taking baby. held him
down for Bounce to admire.
Never shall forget the look of re-
proach and sadness in those almost
human eyes. He stool for one instant
looking ut nc, aid then turned and
walked slowly from the room. From
that day, for all tho five years Of his
after life, l.o ignored my existence and
that of baby, rcvcr coming near me,
nor allowing the child to touch him.

The Apple Crop Almost Total Failure.
Peaches Never Any scarccr. and Grapes
Abundant with Prospects Fair for Good
Prices.
JEFFERSON Cry. Mo. Aug. 13.-In n
report to Levi Chubbuck. secretary Of
the Missouri state board Of agriculture.
L. A. Goodman. secretary Of the state
horticultural society. says that in his
experience of twenty-five years he has
never before seen such a complete fail
ure OF fruit in Missouri. and that. too.
where the orchards have had the very
best ~ attention. The cold. electrical
storms Of May blighted and scorched
the trees badly and the fruit entirely.
In in the northwest. and in fact
nearly all along the north line Of the
state, there will be not more than
apples enough for home consumption.
Some counties in the eastern part will
have good crop Of Genitons, some
orchards being full, but they are not
general. The Geniton will pay better
this year, perhaps than all other
varieties. Along the western border Of
the state the crop is almost an entire
failure. while in the central counties
some orchards are full of fruit. and each
locality must be Secured for what
there IS
In the southern portion Of tho state
young orchards. from seven to ten years
old. will yield crop Of good fruit, but
as orchards Of that age are limited so
will the fruit be.
| Apples will be scare in every apple
locality in the United States, and great
care Of all fruit will pay. for good prices
are sure Buyers are now seeking pur-
chase. and everyone can readily sell
what he may have. The very best care
and cultivation should be given those
trees most injured that they may re-
cover quickly.
Peaches were never scarccr. Only in
special localities Of south Missouri are
there any amount, end prices will be
good.
Grapes are plenty and prospects fine
for a good crop and good prices. things
which rarely 90 together.
