For seeking in vain are they

county, was found Saturday in the
x court house by Judge Hutchisor
wandering lonesomely about. He
had a discharge from the Insane

left. 1t was a pitiful case but Mr.
Hutchinson could only advise him TIC
go back to his old home. The dis.
charge said he was cured, but he did
not appear sane.
Prophet Kroptf is having hard
time to reconcile his predictions with
current events. He was sure there
would be big corn crop and now, to
put it mildly, it does not look that
way He thinks he misinterpreted
the vision, The vision was a shock
Of corn. Usually he describes the
vision to his wife and she tells what
it means. In this case she listened
and said nothing. The prophet grew
reckless and guessed that a big corr
crop was meant. Now he feels with
all due humility his error and is GER
tain that the shock was merely {
shock of fodder and he should have
said that farmers would cut theil
corn for feed. The way Of thu
prophet is hard and Mrs. Kropif Seems
to be the more reliable seer of the
family.
