4 Friend Of the Farmer.

The hop growers Of Otsego county
have discovered what naturalists have
long been trying TO make farmers under
stand-that skunks. instead Of being
their enemies, as they formerly supposed
are among their most useful friends. AS
one hop grower expressed il. Nowadays
we protect skunks ms carefully as wo do
song birds"
Hop yards, it appears, are infested by
n certain kind Of grub which gnaws Off
tho tender vines ut the root, and this
grub is the favorite food Of the skunk.
As general thing the slunks sally
forth at nightfall. but now and then they
arc to be seen at work in broad daylight.
Tho proceeding is an interesting ono to
watch.
The skunk begins his quest ON the edge
OF the yard. where he cocks his head over
hill Of hops and listens If grub is
at work upon one Of the four trailing
vines, his quick ear Is sure to hear it. At
once he begins to paw up the earth, and
presently he is seen to uncover tho grub
and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and If he hears
nothing proceeds TO the next hill. And
80 ho goes on till he has had his fill.
Now that the skunks are no longer
molested, they have become compare
lively fearless. Sometimes, we are told,
they keep up their operations even while
tho cultivator is driven between the
rows.-Cor. New York Tribune,

II was on the Stormy division Of the

tendcnt Dugan's jurisdiction embraced

containing II corpse each to the plat

As the train was nearing Ottumwa,
the baggage man upon looking out was
Mortified to discover one Of the boxes
missing. Surmising that one Of the boxes
had slid off in rounding curve, owing
10 the high rate Of speed the train had
been running, he wired Superintendent
Dugan Immediately upon arrival Of the
train at Ottumwa, apprising him Of tho
loss. Dugan wired the section foreman
at Ottumwa as follows:
Patrick McCiann-LoOk for corpse
lost of Cannon Ball three miles west Of
Otturnwa and report condition OF same
when found"
Patrick Immediately started out with
the section gang, and found the box in
tact and brought the same TO Ottumwa,
II was seldom that Patrick received or.
ders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate supe-
rior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time 10 win promotion had arrived
and after reading Dugan's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his super
intendent as follows:
"Mishter Doogun-I hev found the

The American people showed them.
selves absolutely determined that he
should never be commissioned 10 be the
personal representative Of the might and
majesty OF the United States. What
makes the matter more remarkable Ia
the fact that Mr.. Blaine had every adj
vantage in his favor Without question
he was tho greatest politician in his
country, not in one but in every branch
Of politics. As "A wirepuller and an or
ganizer he had no rival. and he could
manipulate the party machine as no
other man in the States could manipulate
it, He never made an enemy where
there was tho slightest chance of making
friend. and he would take as much
trouble TO conciliate the humblest and
most unknown citizen IA the greatest
''sachem." He never forgot n supporters
face. or failed to remember his special
predictions. and his personal magnet

but by every one who heard him speak

campaigns
