Condition of the Crops.

THE following extract Is from Crop
Bulletin No Is, issued from the United
States Weather Bureau At Huron, show
ing the condition OF crops for the week
ending July 10:
There has been but very little rain
during the week, and that occurred To-
cally. Portions OF some counties had
good showers, but the average OF all
heard from Is only about. 25 inch. Mar
shall, Clark, and Deuel. Counties report
the most about so inch each.
state considered, the temperature
has been above the average probably
little above in the Western AMI South
eastern portion and little below in the
Northeast portion while the amount OF
sunshfne has been above the average
generally.
The conditions have been highly fa-
vorable to corn, which has made very
rapid growth, especially In some Of the
Southern counties. Wheat, oats. fax,
barley. and rye have also been bene-
fite1, except in few counties where
the need Of rain for some OF the wheat
is being noticed, especially on poorly
titled land, where sufficient care was
not given to the seeding. On summer
fallowed and corn-stalk land the small
grain has done finely. Most OF the
early wheat is heading and filling salts
factorily, and much of the rye and bar
ley is nearly ready to cut Haying ia In
progress in many localities, and the
yield Is very good generally
On general average. state considered,
the crop condition is very good. but Co
pious rains generally would be highly
beneficial.
Some localities report considerable
rust on wheat and oats, but no injury.

FOR THE CHILDREN.
A STRANGE TRIO.

A STRANGE TRIO.
"Better leave that monkey alone II
you don't want the dog to bite YOU; he
won't let anybody fool with his chum, !"
The speaker was twelve-ycar-old Charley
Burrell, and his remarks were addressed
to a acrowd of men and boys that crowded
around him nna his two pets. The pets
in question were fine looking silky
haired spaniel and diminutivc monkey
that was perched on the dogs back, and
seemed quite at home there Most dogs
would object to playing horse with such
a rider, but Rex not only seemed to en-
joy the fun, but also took it upon him
self to resent any undue familiarity with
his rider.
Rex is Charley's inseparable compan-
ion, and when the lads father made his
young master present of a baby monkey
the dog did not become jealous, as some
|dogs would, but at once adopted the
little orphan and has been father to it
since.
/ That was eight months ago, and the
little orphan has thrived wonderfully
under the care of its strange foster parent.
Jack, for that is the name of the mon
key, shares Rex's kennel at night, and
stows himself away in the dogs warm
silky hair, and the dog sees that not
Eevcn his young master can intrude on his
Fpet until its nap is ended and it rises of
its own accord. One plate serves both
animals at meal times, and Jack gets all
the choicest morsels, as the dog never
begins to eat until Jack has finished and
retired to his seat on his friends back.
The strange friendship between the
two has grown SO strong that the dog
will never leave the house unless the
monkey is clinging to his back, and
many a hard battle has Rex fought in de-
fence Of his friend.-( San Francisco Ex-

n Bay City, Mich, special: The greatest
confiagration that ever visited Bay City
started In the lumber manufacturing es-
tablishment of Miller l. Turner. and the

burned like finder. The wind increased as
the flames progressed, and In an hour the
fire had consumed Miller 4 Turner'S en-
tire plant, comprising the saw mill, salt

A SEALS INTELLlGENCE.

A few years ago some fisherman were
following their vocation off harbor on
the Maine coast, when they observed a
|commotion on the surface, and soon made
out seal leaping from the water as if
followed by some enemy.
1t came near the boat, swimming
baround it several times, and then, making
a leap, the men saw that it was being
Echased by large fish.
One of the fishermen dropped his line,
and, stepping into the bow, leaned over
and held out his hands. To his amaze
mcnt, the seal Immediately dashed toward
him, and, with his help, scrambled out
of the water into the boat, just in time
\ to escape the sharp weapon of sword
fish that dartcd by, its big eyes staring,
probably in wonder at the method of es-
cape, to it's tishy intelligence being evil
identity case of out of the frying pan
into the fire.
But the little seal apparently knew
Ebettcr, and it need not be said that its
Econfdence was not misplaced as the men
were so pleased with its action in coming
to them they kept it as pet, and the
seal became familiar object about the
shore.
The fishermen had small house upon
the beach, in which their boats and nets
were stored. and here the seal made its
home, sleeping on pile of old nets, and
during the day lying upon the sands,
lazily rolling over in the enjoyment OF
perfect freedom.
When the men came down to the shore,
the seal was there to greet them, frisking
about and attempting to crawl into the
boats When not taken in, it would fol-
low the boat out, swimming alongside,
with its intelligent black eyes fixed upon
them. If taken into the boat, it would
lie on the forward deck and watch its
protectors, occasionally eating fish
which they tossed over to it, or diving
over after one which they threw away.
During the winter the seal was moved
up to the home of one of the fishermen,
where it spent much of its time by the
kitchen irc.-[ Golden Days.
