ACcnfented Farmer.

Tom Reed tells story of a Nebraska
farmer who, travelling through Maine,
happened to stop at little house hanging
from the side OF a rocky hill, which con-
stituted the farm. During his stay he made
many cutting criticisms upon the char
acter of the soil, and asked the farmer
why he did not go West, where the land
was so rich that you could thrust your
arm into IL up to your shoulders and pull
from the bottom dirt as rich as guano.

"and where may such lands be-"
"Where / 1.-Two in the West" was the
reply, (which is in Blank township, Blank

An Ingenious Conductor.

On a Maine Central train, not long ago,
lady passed a conductor one full ticket
and two half tickets, the latter being for
a pair OF youngsters that looked old
enough to pay full fare. The conductor
asked their age. "Ten and eleven" the
lady replied.
On the conductors face was a look OF
external doubt, but there was no way to
disprovc her statement then. Later on
the boys went into the smoking car, and
there the genial conductor in due time
found them.
They had chat about a lot OF things,
and during the chat each boy told in what
year he was born. IL was only a matter
of subtraction 10 learn that one boy was
fifteen and the other seventeen.
The conductor went back TO the lady
and blandly demanded the balance OF the
fare, saying, "your boys were born on
such and such days and are fifteen and
seventeen, respectively"
The lady's response as she forked over
the cash was: "Youire mean, stingy
thing. How in the world did you find
out?"-Portland Express.

a terrible sight met my gaze. Bill and
his wife were both lying in pools OF blood.
Bill managed to humble out few words,
but his wife was inscnsible. The little
boy, who was least hurt but terribly mu
tilated, managed TO say Sam did it last
night; n piece of :ron.'"
Every one in the house is cut and gashed

BAGS FOR WHEAT.
WHERE GRAIN GAGS AND BURLAps
COME FROM.

why . nag Manufacturer Was Happy.
Tho Big Grain Crops Make Prices of
Rags Higher-The Tariff Gets In Its
Work Too.
A bag manufacturer in New York re-
Gently sat writing at his desk in his fac
tory in New York. He was evidently
very happy over something. Just then
the large importer from whom he buys
his burlaps walked in.
"How's trade? Good year, isn't itg"
1T seems so to me. We are on a
boom here. and everything seems to be
running In favor Of America. We took
single order for $4,000 bags one day
last week. IL things continue to 90 like
this we shall make enough to retire from
business in a few years. Ha! hal hal"
This manufacturer stated that the
enormous wheat crop in the great west
and northwest had caused an unusual
demand for bags in which to carry wheat
and corn from the farms to the market.
He is now shipping a carload of grain
bags every week 10 Kansas City.
Here the tariff gets in its work. A car
load Of bags weighs 1000 pounds, and
the duty of 10 cents pound amounts to
$500 on the carload. This has, of course,
to be paid by the last man who buys the
bass-the farmer.
These bags are made Of a jute cloth
known to the trade as burlaps. The jute
plant grows In India, Is somewhat like
eornstslk. grows from eight to fourteen
feet nigh, and has fiber running
