poem is o contribution from the pen Of
Mrs. 81. A. Deming. The reader will
see that each line is % quotation from one
of the standard authors Of England and
America. This is the result of years
laborious search among the voluminous
writings of 88 leading poets of the past
and present. The number of each line
refers to its author below: -

Let Us Have Rest From Csntsnnials.

Iet Us Have Rest From Csntennials.
It might naturally be supposed that
tho father Of centennisls was no less
patriarch than old Father Time himself,
but 1t seems that this title is claimed for
oneP Peyton Of New Jersey, Of whom 1t Is
alleged that he II the responsible orig
inator OF all the centennials we have
been having, from Bunker hill, in 1875,
to the fair ct Chicago. Moreover, it is
stated that this relentless being, not yet
Rlutted with commemoration Is at work
on an international celebration Of the
birth and death Of Christ, to be held at
Jerusalem in the year 1900. -
II Colonel Peyton has any friends, they
will confer favor by purchasing stor-
age for him in some good safe deposit
company and locking him up there and
depositing the key to him In the East
river. This generation has had plenty OF
centennials. 1t does not want to 60 to
any more ever after this year, So that
heaven sends it strength and means to
make q thorough Job Of the Chicago
fair it win never ask to see another show
Of moro Importance than the late Mr..
Barnum's circus, and 1t will not look at
that unless it 10 brought around to its
door. After all the centennials that It
has experienced nothing less than . mil
lennial could possibly start its enthusi-
asm, and happily Colonel Peyton and all
the rest Of us will be permanently at
rest years and years before the times are
ripe for millennial at Jerusalem.-Har.

Late Saturday afternoon group Of
sailors from the Magicienne and Tartar
stood on Riverside drive talking to an
old man with high hat and gold eye
glasses. The old man had stopped them
and was asking them to explain several
matters about their respective ships.
Z They conversed for about 10 minutes.
Then the old man put his hand in his
pocket and drew ont some 81 bills. He
offered bill to each man. The sailors
drew back afronted. They refused to
accept them.

95 words II the message. but owing to
something getting wrong with the wires

first word was received until the last was

message was the queens expression Of
the wish that the cable would prove .

between the two great nations. Mr..

Building Bridges In Egypt.

When the railway swing bridge across
the Nile at Kafr Tayat was opened. the
khedive complimented the engineer on
his work. With the customary salute,
the latter replied to the following effect:
1T Is my duty rs your highness' faithful
servant to point out to him that II any
thing should happen to the swinging
part Of the bridge we have nothing ready
to repair it with, and serious delay
might be caused in the traffic" What

the faithful servant. A bridge was or
dered and after lying in heaps for some
years was utilized In another part Of the

when the Ellh island employees ar
rived at the big landing station the other
morning. they found that Q group Of 20
Africans---men.i women and children
who had darrived the Day before had dis
carded their European" clothes and had
returned to the breechclout and beads Of
their native simplicity.
:, The clothing they had been forced to
wear was scattered upon the floor, dis
carded and despised. The keepers COM
pelled the Africans TO resume their cast
on clothing. IT was noticed that, while
they reluctantly donned the regulation
clothes, they were not at all particular as
to choice. Whatever happened to be
nearest at hand was grabbed mp and put

that his ponderous legs were not intend

Low RECORD BROKEN
Chicago Wheat Touches Gle and
then Rallies to 81 7-8c.
Heavy Estimates Sent the Price of Corn
Down, Oats Losing 1-16c-PrOvisiOns
Show Gains in January.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-After making the
months low-price record at Gle, December
wheat rallied. to-day. on smaller North
western receipts, buying by shorts and ex-
port sales, and closed 1c higher than on
Saturday. Corn closed &c lower. Oats
show scarcely any change. being only 1-1ec

with some slight gain for January delivery.
Wheat opened weak on an increase of
1,125,0O bushels on passage and heavy Du-
luth receipts, December opening BQAc off
Saturdays close. A large increase in the
visible supply was expected and this, with
light seaboard ~clearances and discouraging
cables drove the price downward until it
touched the lowest price on record for the
month. From that point the market i'm
proved with a few reactions. Minneapolis
receipts were light, making the total North
western cars about 500 less than the pre-
ceding Monday. Reports of export buying
late Saturday were circulated and covering
by shorts followed. Near the close Deem

figure. December, which had closed Satur-
day at 61asc, opened sake lower, declined
&c, reacted to &c and closed 1sc lower at
61Bc.
Corn began the day slow with May 1sc
lower than Saturdays close. 1t improved
slightly as wheat grew stronger, but re-
ceipts, heavier than expected, sent it down
again. A little trading caused a reaction,
but to-morrow's estimate of 200 cars sent
the price down once more. The market
was weak at the close. May stopping Ac
lower than on Saturday.
Oats were firm at the start, May opening
where they closed Saturday, S15sQ31%c. On
the decrease in the visible supply they

corn and closed Ac under Saturdays close

A NEGLECTED. CrOp.

AllrrOr ana tarmer.
Winter rye is a crop that has been too
much neglected In recen&years. This is ow-
ing to the fact that the straw is OF little
value as stock food, and partly TO an UNI
derestimate of the value of the grain. There
are several points in favor of the crop, not
the least of which is that 1t can be sown
In the fall when work is not so pressing
as In the spring, and Will ripen in season
for a crop of beans or fodder corn TO DO
grown on the same ground IL 1t is desirable
TO pillow 1t up again. 1t is one of the best
crops to seed down with, as il protects the
grass plants in winter and does not have
leaves enough to kill them by shading In
the summer.
The straw In bundles brings in Eastern
city markets about as much as good hay for
ing crop, and If put in early i'm the fall will
be ready to cut before anything that could
be started In the spring. IT is also a good
crop to pillow under in the spring. as it can
be done early enough to plant or SOW any
other crop. Glover should be sown with IL
in all cases, whether it is to be left for a
bayfield, or plowed up. The clover will q
to the value OF the crop to be turned under:
and when farmers get rid of the idea that
they must harvest everything that gets
above the ground. and realize that ii is
cheaper TO gather one full crop than two
half crops, there will be more green crops
plowed under, and less land left 10 grow
weeds after harvest, or left naked and ex-
posed to winds and rains if IL is plowed.
Any of the modern harrows will make a
potatoes nave been dug. and a crop OF rye
and clover may be grown in season TO plow
in before planting, and only one blowing
will be needed for two crops. Old grass
fields or sandy pastures turned over now
and rolled down will produce a good crop
of rye, and If grass and clover is sown
with IL the whole will make a good pasture
for several years.
