HER DARK SECRET.

A Tale Of How Two Hearts and Two Board
Bill Were Made One.
She was as fair as the day and as
stately as the night and beautiful be-
yond the dream of any poet.
He was strong and brave as any
knight that ever jousted on the plain;
superb and handsome as the sculptured
gods of Greece.
1t happened by a propitious fate, that
sometimes brings the brave and beauti-
full together, that these two mortal
paragons each had a fashionable suite
of rooms in the most fashionable hotel
of the most fashionable city of all the
land.
1t is really not much use to finish this
story. The reader is shrewd and knows
fore, and knows already how this thing
is coming out.
But suffice it to say they met, and
they loved with au unutterable and in
finite devotion.
Darling" said he-not at once, of
course; he was no grump like that
but like to get at the denouement of
story at the beginning and get it out
of the way. Darling" said he, when
the proper time had arrived, 81 love
you beyond expression, with a devo-
ton that can never end. Be mine, oh!
say that you will be miner'
A look of ineffable sadness, of inf
mite grief came into her azure eyes.
Harold" she said, you know not
what you ask. There is dead secret
in my life, which, if you knew, you
would spurn me from thee like dead
ly thing"
Tell me the secret, darling" said
he, ''and swear by my honor 1 will
love thee all the more"
Harold, my own, will be frank and
tell thee. Ill owe three months
bill for my suite of rooms in this hotel -
He looked into her lustrous eyes with
an expression of increased endearment.
''Sibyl, my darling" said he, $50 do
l. We owe the sordid landlord two
large bills Let us wed and make the
two bills one"
''Oh, my hearts love!' she cried.
''Oh, my hero, my financier!' and she
threw herself into his arms.
Thus two loving hearts and two
growing hotel bills were beautifully
merged into one.-Yankee Blade.

THE Lydgate lies at her anchorage
off the Battery, n. Y, her agents hav-
ing made vain endeasors to secure a
crew for the ship so that she may make
the return voyage to Liverpool. She is
four-masted vessel and is almost new.
When she started from Liverpool to
America she had on board a crew that
was enthusiastic over her fine lines and
general appearance. 1t was expected
that the voyage woult take twenty
days. Instead of that it took six
months, and when the Lydgate finally
put into port last week the sailors with
one accord packed up. their kits,
clambered over the rails of the vessel
and swore never to set foot on her
again. As they were all shipped for
the round trip their assertion cost them
the six months wages they had already
earned. The sailors think she is a
"boodoo" ship.

Report of the State Board of Agricultur
Shows q Bad Condition.

Report Of the State Board of Agriculture
Shows a Bad Condition.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 6.-The Kansas
state board of agriculture yesterday
issued it's report for the month ending
May 81. 1t is substantially as follows:
The month Of May in some respects was for
the state as a whole, especially to wheat and
oats, quite unfavorable, chiefly from frosts and
lack of general and soaking rains. While the
frosts appeared with about the same
severity in all the counties, it scarcely
affected any two fields alike, rs one
would be severely injured while its
adjacent nelghbor would scarcely suggest there
was supposed to have been done to potatoes
and corn, but both have by their steady growth
and vigor since demonstrated that not hun
dredth part of the destruction feared actually
resulted from freezing.
The one considerable crop that has suffered
from prevailing conditions since the last re-
port is winter wheat Statements Of its cOndi-
tionS show it worse than one month before
from 10 to GO per cent, and there is every prob
ability that IS or even As per cent is not too
large figure to describe the general decline,
which will include numerous counties with
but a poor prospect before that, now have
practically none. Scarcely fraction
Of the total damage by chinch bugs reported
as doing some mischief in various localities, it
being accounted for by dry weather. yet in
great nCmDerS OF counties WucTc IuiS WAS uu-
doutedly the case other crops, such as corn and
potatoes, have grown in manner most gratify-
ing and are reported upon very favorably in
deed, while their planting and cultivation have
gone forward uninterruptedly. and the weeds
are in the most thorough subsection ever known
at the time of year.
Eighty of the 105 counties report the present
stand of winter wheat as in worse condition
than one month ago; twenty-five counties re-
port it about the same or better. During the
last three or four days of May there were heavy
rains in many places, but not general in char
acter, and in most instances too late to benefit
much of the more debilitated wheat For
reasons stated in the foregoing the limited area
of spring wheat, which is confined to the
northern counties, offers little prospect of any
considerable yield.
The conditions as to oats are almost identical
with those of spring wheat The stand is scat
tering. the plants feeble and with tendency
to premature and very short heading.
A good stand good growth, promising con-
dition and unusual freedom from weeds is the
burden of the information with reference to
corn. Here and there slight or temporary in
Jury was done by frost, but comparatively
and in the aggregate amounting to little.
Tremendously increased areas have during the
month been planted to corn, in a soil not wet,
but sufficiently moist to insure prompt germi-
nation and continuous growth.
In spite of considerable damage by frost, po-
tatoes are generally promising fairly we'll, and
are free from weeds

THE town of Wolverhampton, Eng,
enjoys the distinction of having in
vented new sport, which, as long as
the novelty lasts, is likely to be popu-

Country" At tavern in the outskirts
of that town man was matched
against n rat tied to a wooden peg in
the middle of table by a long line,
which gave it plenty of play. The rat
tried to escape, but was forced to
fight, and the man, whose hands were
tied behind his back, attacked it with
his teeth. According to local
chroniclers, the engagement was saw
age one, and the rat inflicted severe
bites upon his human antagonist. But
the verlnin was ultimately killed fairly
and squarcly.
