prospect for hay in this vicinity is fair
not quite equal to last years crop but
nearly an average one. As the old hay is
about all cleaned out the price will prob
ably rule higher than last year. 1t is as
least 10 days later than last year. Other
crops are looking fairly we'll and with a

A man will give up his friends life
for his own any day, in the judgment of
Mr.. Will R. Laidlaw, of New York,
Mr.. Russell Sage is not man who in
general is great hand shaker. But
Mr.. Laidlaw testifes in his suit for dam
ages against that great financial pillar,
that at the eventful moment when
dynamiter Norcross was preparing to
blow Mr.. Sage's head off, he, Laidlaw,
entered the millionaire's Office on bust
ness. Much to his surprise, for he was
only a humble bank clerk, dreaming
perhaps of being millionaire himself
in the far future, Mr. Sage grasped his
hand effusively and held it vigorously.
Not only that, but he seized Mr.. Laid
law by the shoulder and whopped him
around between himself and the dyna-
inter in the twinkling of an eye. Thus
Mr.. Laidlaw was held face to face with
the magnate, while his back caught the
dynamite that was meant for Sage.
Thus he had the proud privilege of be-
ing the great mans breastplate and
shield. But instead of being glad that
he was enabled to save to the tinan-
cial world so great power as Mr.. Rus
sci Sage, Laidlaw now even wants
damages for thus being involuntarily
made great hero and preserver.
1t is due to Mr.. Sage to add that he
says it's no such thing, this story of
Laidlaw's, and that he never sought to
make that handsome young mans per
son receive the dynamite intended for his
own more matured and well seasoned
frame. But the wicked world, always
prone to look upon the dark side, will
rather incline to sympathize with the
young bank clerk, and to remember
with approval the old colored brothers
