Importance of the Corn Crop,

1t is not only the SPECTATOR, in
vestor and merchant who are interest
ed in the condition and prospects of
corn, but also the railroad interest,
for as the financial article of the New
York Times states it, if the corn
crop west of the Mississippi is a fail
ure this year it will be necessary to
bid goodbye to the present dividends
on the roads which draw their traffic
from that section. 1t will be a sheer
impOssibility for these roads to earn
dividends. Consequently the corn
crop, says the Times is vastly more
important at this time than the Senate
bill Dr. the sugar schedule of it. which
is not likely to affect the dividends OF
these roads any way it is fixed

made a fortune selling goods. No

Many years ago walnut trees were
as numerous in New Madrid and
Perniscot counties as any other fores,
trees and back from the Mississippi
River twenty and twenty-five miles
there Gre still some big walnut trees
standing. but near the river they have
all been cut and worked up long ago.
The stnmps of these big trees yet stand
as monuments TO the beauties that
once adorned the forests and some
of these stumps are as sound and as
solid to-day as the day the trees were
cut down. These stumps are now be-
ing dug up and shipped to the market
where they are worked up and used in
the manufacture of fine furniture.

Spanish street to-day and they are

4 Word to Young Men.

We have no disposition whatever to
interfere with what may be called per-
sonal privileges. when they are COM
~paratively innocent. but it is certainly
right to keep our minds open to the
wisdom or folly of our actions. A
friend may suggest a course of conduct
without any disposition to presump-
tously dictate. Can you afford to in
dulge in any practice that tends to
cripple your powers for good and your
success in any way: Take the follow
ing as examples: Profanity. or any
habit of speech that approaches it.
Nothing can be said in its favor. while
its whole tendency is demoralizing.
The same is truce of unchaste language.
Would not any discreet business man.
other things being equal. prefer a man
of chaste. pure speech rather than Il
loose or foul talker?: Take the habit
OF using tobacco. Itmay not be a very
serious fault. but it is admittedly in
furious to the intellect. is very incon-
yenicnt. and tenCs to make persons
oblivious to the comfort of others. 1t
is IA constant drain on tho purse. and
a good business mar would prefer to
have his employees free from it.
The habit of drinking intoxicants
to whatever degree INDUCED. is always
dangerous. and is always considered
to discount the value of a man in any
business. Talking with a merchant of
much experience. l asked him why so
many merchants employ at present
young ladies almost exclusively. His
answer was. There are several rea-
sons. but the principal one is, young
men are generally surrounded by such
environments. and form such habits.
that We can't afford to trust our bust
ness in their hands," If IL young man
will steer clear of these he will mover
lack for employment" B.

The Gordonville Creamery.

From Mr.. Claus Kerstner. of Cor
donville, who was in the city The other
day. we learn that the Gordonville
Creamery is doing a splendid business.
The average output of butter per day
is now ninety-twO pounds, and Mr..
Kerstner says as the farmers in the
surrounding country find that they
can get quite a good revenue from
their milk the business of the creamery
will increase to double what it now is.
For creamery butter there is always a
ready market at good prices. So far
the GOrdonville Creamery Company
have had no trouble in finding a mar
ket for the output of the creamery.
The butter is shipped to st. Louis and
other large cities where creamery but
always commands a good price.
We congratulate the citizens of Cor
donville and the farmers in that vicin-
ity for the success they are making
with their new enterprise.

Animal Ownership of Land.


From Meehan's Monthly.
The pretty poem Of Joaquin Mil
Ter in a former issue is pretty as
poetry, and it is pity to have to
bring in cold prose to stand against
it. But truth forces the observer
of nature to admit that birds and
other creatures apportion the earth
among themselves just about as
man does. A bear has his bounda-
ries beyond which his fellow-bear
does not trespass with impunity-
the wild rabbit you see on your
lawn in the moonlight, is the same
innocent little creature you have
been seeing every night all the
summer time-and even the robin
that gathers the early worm for
his breakfast from your garden,
will show fight when another
comes marauding on his preserve.
Nor does this last year only, for
there is a good evidence that the
same bird will come back to the
claim staked off the year previous.
