Time For Harvesting In the Different
Countries.
While shivering round your winter
fire or looking over the field just be-
ginning to turn green, did you ever
think that even at that very moment
the harvest is busy in some part Of the
world? And that while one is resting
another is bringing forth the fruit?
January sees harvest ended in most
districts in Australia and New Zealand,
while the people of Chilli and other
countries of southern South America
are just beginning TO reap the fruits of
their toll.
February, March-Upper Egypt and
India begin and continue harvest
through these months
April enlarges the number with har-
vest in Syria Cyprus, coast Of Egypt
Mexico, Cuba, Persia and Asia Minor
May is busy time in central Asia,
Persia, Algeria, Morocco, southern
Texas, Florida, China and Japan.
June calls forth the harvesters in Cali
fornia, Oregon, southern United States,
Spain, Portugal. Italy, Hungary, Rou-
ern France. Greece and Sicily.
July sees harvest in England. Neb-
raska, Switzerland, Iowa, Illinois, In
diana, Minnesota Upper Canada,
northern France, Germany, Austria
and Poland
August continues the gathering in
the British Isles, France, GERMANY,
Belgium, Holland, Manitoba, Lower
Canada, Denmark and Russia.
September rules northern Scotland,
southern parts OF Sweden and Norway,
as well as the cold islands of the North
sea.
October is the harvest month for corn
in America and for hardy vegetables in
northern Sweden. Norway and Ireland.
In November harvest times begin in
South Africa, Patagonia and South

How Two Arizona Boys Increased Their
Little Pile.


How Two Arizona Boys Increased Their
Little Pile.
The vaqueros on the TETON ranch
were paid ofigrecently and soon there
wasn't enough money left IN the pockets
of the whole crowd to buy wad of
brown cigarette paper. This financial
embarrassment was brought about by
two young fellows who said they were
cowboys from Arizona. The two young
fellows came into camp on payday,
got drunk and jeered at the riding of
the vaqueros, who were amusing them
selves by doing all sorts OF queer things
on horseback. The vaqueros endured
the insulting criticisms of the strangers
as long as the laws of hospitality re-
quired, and then they wanted 10 know
what the Arizona men knew about
riding.
The Arizona men said they could ride
anything that wore hair, aud chal-
lenged the vaqueros to bring. out their
mustangs. Two ugly little broncos
were caught up and saddled, and the
Arizona fellows, with drunken reck-
lessness, climbed aboard They were
pitched of with neatness and dispatch,
and proved to be very clumsy fellows
in the saddle, but that didn't stop their
Dragging. The elder brother, who was
very drunk. explained that the younger,
who had displayed the more clumsi-
ness, was little too full to show what
he could do, but offered to bet all he
owned that the boy would on the next
day ride any horse that the vaqueros
could drive into corral,
The vaqueros had sized up the Arr
zonian lads but didn't want to take
advantage of them, and persuaded
them to wait until morning before
making any bets. When the morning
came the elder brother was still lit
tie soggy, but he gloomiiy insisted
upon making good his drunken chal-
lenge. The vaqueros told him. that
was all right, that they didn't expect
him to back up all his whisky talk.
y He wouldn't have it that way. No
body could say that he was buffer
or a tluitter, drank or sober. and what
he said he would back to his last bean.
The younger brother, who was sober,
tried to dissuade him Come now,
BILL" he said, don't be blasted fool
These boys don't mind what we said
yesterday. and they ,dons want our
money. I've had enough and want to
90 home. Quit yonr foolishness and
come along. d ant want to ride any

sLAINE's WEAVING Ways.
The Game of Plot MS Played by Repub
lican Gamcsters.

The Game of Plot MS Played by Repub-
lican Gamcsters.
The position of Hon. James G. Blaine
as constructively an aspirant for the
republican nomination for president
next year, while at the same time sec
Rotary of state under President Harri-
son, who is an avowed candidatesfor re-
nomination, is so anomalous that there
is reason to believe Mr.. Blaine must
soon announce the abandonment of his
am bition or the resignation Of his cab
met office,
The Blaine movement already under
way in several states is avowedly an
anti arrison movement. In the state
of New York it is engineered by the
Warner Miller opposition to Thomas
c. Platt's controlof the party, which
has been made absolute by federal pat
ronage. This opposition has already
taken form in the organization of
Blaine clubs, work in which Hon.
James J. Belden appears to be the
| prime mover. In Pennsylvania Sena-
tor Quay has already carried through
his. plot for conventions in early Jan.
uary. in Philadelphia to .forestall the
work Of the Harrison officeholders, and
in Indiana the anti-Harrison men have
weii-laid plans to capsure the delega-
tion from that state for Blaine as a
marked humiliation to the national adj
ministration. In brief. wherever
throughout the country there Is to be
found republican Disguised with
Harrison there is to be found a vocif.
eroussBlaiiie shoutef.
Ordinary political decency, of course,
forbids the secretary of state to hold
his present position in politics to the
end of the month If he is to lead the
revolt against the head of the admins
tration, courtesy to his chief requires
that he tender forthwith his resigna-
ton to the president. But, on the
other hand If sheldoes not intend to be
a candidate for the nomination next
year, it is equally duty to the presi
dent to announces that fact and put an
end to the use of his name as an anti
Harrison rallying cry. The ways Of
Blaine, however have always been
| devious and as the situation demands
al frank statement from him, which
almost any other man in public life
under like conditions would hasten to
! make, that probably is the last thing
! to be expected from Mr.. Blaine. al

What would be just basis for PEN
sions2 In forming the legislation Of
the country, the c1amoring of the dis
honorable should not be considered.
When the pension roll is relieved of all
those who are not in need, and all who
are willing to earn living If a fitting
opportunity is found for them, those
that remain will be only the very few
who can. under the most favorable
circumstances that can be found for
them, earn only partly enough TO sup
port themselves; those who can do
nothing towards their own support
and those who can earn nothing, and
who periodically require the aid and
attendance Of other persons. To each
of these classes abundance should be
given. No honorable person will for
an instant withhold from such as they
the full sympathy and support which
are their due. When the pension roll
has been SO sifted, some dregs may be
left-moral and physical wrecks who
have reached the lowest depths Of deg
radiation, and are unworthy of consid-
