this season of the year farmers are
beginning to think what Fertilizers
they will use this fall. We wish to
state that we have MARKED OUR

Remember, all our Fertilizers will
be reduced in price this fall, but the

"So you're not going to accept Harry De Tompkins after all, Ethelf' said Ethels friend as they sat and slipped their chocolate to- gether.
 "No," said Ethel, seriously, -four engagement is off. i"
 "But he is one of our best young men. Rich, handsome and of good family. Are you sure, dear, you are not making a mistaken "It would be a mistake to marry him Of that 1 am quite satisfied. "
 "What has he done, Ethelf' "Broken the fifth commandment, dear"
 "The fifth commandmentG' said her friend slowly. "Ethel, dear, l cannot tell for my life which one that is. :"
 ''It is the one that says 'honor thy father and mother heard Harry talking to his mother one day, and he was both unfilial and disre- spectful. l could never marry a man who spoke to his mother as he did"
 "You are right, said her friend with sigh, "but, Ethel, how many girls are there who would have the moral courage to do as you have donei"
 "Oh, it isn't easy, but it is better than lifetime of regret. Do have another cup of chocolate, said Ethel gaily.-Detroit Free Press.

 "Very pleased is also the thing now, and the old fashioned livery much pleased'' has quite gone out.
 Directly you came,' which has no excuse in grammatical constructicn, is also in style, and it is considered bad form to criticise 1t.

Dr. Karl Budd, of the University of Strasbourg, one of the most emil nent scholars in the world in the department of Old Testament criti- cisin, writes to the Rev. Benjamin w. Bacon, of Oswego, speaking in very high praise of the latter's book 1.-The Genesis of Genesis. He says among other things; "Your volume surpasses Kautsch and Soein by far, not only by more delicate work, not only in your positive re- construction criticism, but also and especially in this respect, that it in troduces the reader much better to the subject, affording to the begin ner everything he requires for the shaping of his conclusion and the schooling of his critical powers, and at the same time abundant material to the mature investigator.

A company known as the North American Transportation and Trad ing Company has been formed in the state of Washington tor the purpose of developing the resources of the Yukon country and Alaska generally. An expedition sent out by this country sailed ten days ago for Alaska on a steamer which car res the framed timbers, planking, machinery tetc., for the construc- ton of river steamboat that is to used for exploring the Yukon. The expeditionary steamers cargo con sisted of such general merchandise as is in demand at the mines. 1t is proposed to build the exploring steamer at St. Michael's, on Nor ton Sound, about thirty miles north of the Yukon, and when completed
 -the work of construction will take about five weeks-she will steam mp tho river to Forty-Mile Creek, 1900 miles distant. At that point the explorers will go into winter quar- ters. Their plans for next season have not been outlined.

The Spy Gallery.

Every letter that goes through the New York postoffice is handled at one of the separating cases on the main floor. Sometimes letters are lost by means which are not ac- cidental. It has not been easy for the postofice inspectors to watch the clerks without being themselves seen by the men they were trying to watch Last week a sort of gallery was run across the big room on the main floor from the office of the superintendent of mails on the Park Row side of the registered letter department on the Broadway side. It's sides were made oi shutters, the slats of which can be moved. A person standing between the shut ters can see the men at work at the separating cases perfectly, But the men at the cases never can tell whether any one is in the "spy gal lery," as they call it, or not.
 Yesterday Superintendent of Mails Mape said: "Yes, it's put up for the use of the secret service officers. No honest man need be afraid. "- New York Sun.

 Occasionally the scene of blood shed will be discovered by some wandering 'scritter' who has that portion of the range to himself tenn porarily. There may be no other cattle within two or three miles, yet the lone mourner will commence the procedure already described, and within quarter or half an hour he will have bsen joined by others, while inside of an hour there will be a dense mass of excited cattle on the spot, and from the range in every direction others will be seen hurry ing to the scene.

He was a widdy Man.

They were neighbors, both having lately purchased adjoining homes and the fun for the lawyers com menced when the widow complained that her neighbor had built wooden barn inside the fire limits.
 The new man didn't say much. He was grumpy old fellow, and took down his barn when the city authorities commanded him to, and gave an immediate order for enough bricks to build a new one. Then, when he had surveyed the premises, he sent for force of workmen.
 ''Ha, ha," he chuckled, "I own the land right up to the next house. I'll run up my new barn and shut off all the light on that side, ha ! ] ha !"
 The widow changed her tactics from railing to tears. She wept over her garden gate as he passed it.
 "O-o-h sir, have you a heart in your bosom, and can you be so cruel as to make the only rooms I have to let unavailable, and poor lone widowf"
 Air you widdy woman, ma am. "
 "Yes. You may know what it is yourself some day to be left alone in this cold world"
 1T do, ma am. Pm widdy man, but that has nothing to do with the case " and he became gruf again.
 "Oh !" She released one eye from her apron and let 1t beam soft ly upon him. "Then you have felt the sanctifying effects of sor- row--you know w-w-what 1t is to bear lonely heart-you can feel for one who has lost her natural protector.
 "Dang 1t, ma am, I-ahem-what do you want me to dol"
 A smile broke over the tear stained face of the widow, which now emerged from the apron like the sun from a cloud.
 "Come over this evening" she said slyly, "and we will see if we can't compromise on that barn"
 Evidently they "compromised, y for the bricks have been sent back and he is stabling his horse for the present at livery, and the lawyers are out of job.-Detroit Free Press.

 The defendant smiled slightly. q never did,n he said firmly.
 The attorney sat forward with a sharp crack of the chair legs on the floor.
