present to make predictions as to the
kind of winter which is in store for us.
Not that these predictions will have the
least effect upon the winter or the
weather. 1t is done merely as a matter
of setting forth ideas and reasons for
their support. An old timer in Walsh
county says that the winter will be long
and cold. His reasons are that animals
in that part of the country are donping
their winter garments, and that they in
dictate in their actions an early winter.
Another prophet says that cornhusks
are Tightening closely to the ears, and
that this is an indication of q severe
winter. The jamestown Alert says that
"the third day Of October scarcely finds
autumn begun this year. The grass on
the prairies has begun to cure and is
turning into the many different hues
that characterize the fall season. The
reeds and cat tails in the ponds, how
ever, are still green and only show a
slight d~iscoloration from frost. Game
birds of all kinds are yet occupying
their summer haunts, and the young
ducks are only taking their first lessons
in flight. The northern ducks have not
arrived, neither have the geese. The
season is unusually delayed, and the
closing in of winter promises to be late
this year."
And so it goes. Different observations
lead to the deduction of different results.
Bismarck has her share of old timers
who have watched the moon, the ami
mails, the corn and other things, and one
Of them says, that in his opinion the
next month will be as pleasant, or nearly
80, as has been the last, and that Novem-
Der will bring no very cold weather.
He arrives at this result by a compari-
son of the present year with those which
are past, and he says that he will be not
far out Of the way.

.- Crop Bulletin.
Practically the same weather condi-
tions prevailed during the past week as
we're experienced during the Two proceed
ing weeks-warm and dry with abund.
ance of sunshine. No rain has fallen
within the state since Sept. 18th, except
ing a few light showers in a few iocali-
ties. The temperature during the same
period has been abnormally high, during
the past week averaging at the Bismarck
station fourteen degrees above the
normal. As a result of these fine con-
ditions the harvest is nearing compile
tion. Shock threshing is about finished,
and stack threshing fairly started. Fall
blowing is general; but, owing to the
absence of rain, the ground is becoming
hard, making that work difficult. Pas
lures in the eastern portion of the state
are also badly in need of moisture.
The warm weather of the past three
weeks has brought the corn crop to
maturity, and it is now in a condition to
be safe from injury by frost.
The correspondent at Cashel, Walsh
county, states that considerable of last
years wheat is being threshed and is
found to be in good condition.
The following additional reports of
average yields per acre are received:
Burleigh county, Classccck: Wheat, -;

ports of rainfall for the same period are

Some little confusion in establishing
the grades has necessarily followed a
change in the headship of the school.
But as a fair examination under the d.
rection of the board Of education, and
passed upon by them, is made the basis
of graduation, it is sincerely hoped
that parents whose children are found
unable to do themselves justice in their
grades, will be satisfied to leave the ad-
justment of such matters to the teachers
in charge. 81,
The average attendance is good; but
the time lost by hardness is far too
great. A direct appeal to each patron is
impracticable, and certainly would seem
unnecessary. It is hardly fair to ask
teachers to the responsibility
arising cut of prompt attendance.
The location of our building makes a
certain amount excusable; but if each
parent as we'll as each scholar will give
the matter q little attention, we feel con-
fdent that a large amount of this lost
time can be avoided. a
Satisfactory results cannot be looked
for until parents take sufficient interest
in the welfare of their children to give
that moral support so necessary to
teachers in intoxicating right habits and
an earnest respect for promptness in
everything connected with school duties.
We shall be glad to see the parents in
our classrooms, Often serious difficulty
is avoided by an occasional visit to the
school. The presence of parents stimu-
lates their children to better exertion.
A little encouragement or an apprecia-
tive word goes a long way towards
smoothing the road, and costs nothing.
If a friend were to bring you. a rose
every day and you threw it out of the
window, he would cease bringing very
shortly. Every well-learned lesson that
a child brings home is a present of far
greater value; and if you cease to notice
it, he will soon perceive your almost
criminal neglect and become ~listless and
inattentive. So, while no warning of
this kind may be necessary, let me re-
mind you that you are demanding some
thing unreasonable, if you ask for re-
suits out of proportion to the interest
you take IN your children's welfare.

Fun and Melons.

George Holbrook seems to be on the
wrong side of the smiling goddess. MI.
Holbrook's separator burned recently
entailing upon him a severe loss. Tues
day Mr.. Holbrook brought a load OF
musk melons to town and started out to
dispose of them among the melon-loving
citizens. At the corner of Fifth and Broad.
way MI. Holbrook left his wagon and
walked into a house in the vicinity, pre-
sumably on business connected with the
sale of his melons. While he was absent
the team become restless, and started on
a slow trot down the street. Once under
motion they began to travel at a some
what swifter pace, and when they reached
First street they were travelling at a
Nancy Hanks gait, bicycle sulky and all.
At Third street there is a raised crossing,
and when the front wheels of the wagon
struck this the wagon-box was jolted
from the wheels and the melons started
~heavenward in dozens. There were green
melons, ripe melons, small melons, large
melons, good melons and bad melons all
flying through space, p~romiscuously
jumbled, and when they started to de-
scend there was. no wagon there to
receive them, and they fell upon the
crossing and spattered themselves every
where. And verify the exodus of small
children from neighboring houses was
something wonderful. They poured forth
in veritable swarms and pounced upon
those bruised and broken melons, each
carrying off an armful. One man, who
happened to be passing by secured a
wheelbarrow nearly full, and then asked
Holbrook, when he had caught his team
and started back, if he wouldn't fill the
remainder OF the space with good ones
as he hated to 20 home with but part Of
Q load. MI. Holbrook was angry. He
did not fill it.
Will It BE Late.
The supreme delight Of the old-timer
just at this season Of the year is to pre-
dict as to the probabilities Of the coming
winter. He delights in airing his ideas
and opinions, and in telling his reasons
for possessing those opinions. It is his
greatest pleasure to secure a willing
listener, one who pays the strictest OF
attention to what he says, and then
him with statement Of the indi-
cations which foreteu q mild or a severe
winter
The old-timer is q character and his is
usually original. The studious research
Of the scientific principles which govern,
or are supposed to govern, climatic
changes, is not evident from his discua-
sion. He does not branch forth into an
unintelligibly scientific discourse to-
prove his arguments. He is natural
takes his ideas from nature, and he
draws upon nature to furnish proofs Of
his assertions. NH
