In sections where the potato crop is
short the complaint is of small and in
ferior tubers, not total failure of crops.
The cranberry crop Is light in lew
England.
Bear in mind that the part of the
crimson clover plant you want to save
over winter is below the ground-the
root.
Heavy winds did much damage to
the grape crop in New York
Many of the Cape Cod cranberry
growers find their crops only about one
fourth those of last season.
Rural New Yorker asks if you cen
sidered what pair Of wide tire, low
wheels on your wagon would save you
i'll gathering your corn, potatoes ana
other crops. They not only save the
team, but bring the wagon box down
low and save labor in loading and UNI
loading. They also save cutting up the
fields, and as there is no tire setting an.
other expense is saved.
The little state of Delaware holds

Anxious to Hit 1t Again.

Many years ago, when the Democratic
party had been badly beaten on certain
issues in New York, there was a confer
ence of leaders, one Of whom was the
late Samuel j. Tilden.
A proposition was offered by one of
the conferees that the party continue on
the same lines of policy, trusting to the
better education Of public opinion the
next time
When Mr.. Tilden's views were re-
quested, he said:
"On Certain Occasion all Indiscreet

A purchase of timber land has recent
~ been made in North Carolina which
suggests the great deals that used to be
made IL the timber regions of the north
west few years ago. The property in
question consists of rs, 600 acres of tim
Der land near Asheville, not far from
Biltmore, George Vanderbilt's winter
seat. The lumber standing on it con
sists of some hundreds of millions Of
feet of high grade hard wood and poplar.
A careful and thorough examination of
the property was made by experts,
which resulted in the formation of q
company Work has already been COM
menced with 100 pairs of oxen and
1000 hands. The immediate result viii
be the lying out Of twon new towns ana

In the interest Of beauty, safety and
neatDcgs let rs have uniform sidewalks
and keep them in proper repair. The
spectacle presented by the sidewalks in
many Of our streets is anything but edi-
flying. The average house owner does
not seem to care whether his ancient
sidewalk is two or three feet higher Or
lower than his neiGhbors Or the danger
pedestrians are in by walking on it. A
little effort on the part Of householders
would go a long way toward making
our sidewalks a source of pride rather
than the useless and dangerous path
ways that border all too many of our
streets.

THIS GOAT SMOKES.
He Prefers Clear Havana, but Comes
Down 20 Cigarettes if lie Has To.

Down 10 Cigarettes if lie Has TO.
A billygoat that smokes cigars and
cigarettes, Just like mcn, is in tie
possession of Charles Reber, at 1870
Krauss street. Carondelet. The goat has
a 10 year growth of horns and whiskers
Of about the same age waving gracefully
and odorously from his chin After Il
hearty feast upon tin, tacks, rags, pa
per and anything else in sight Billie, as
he is called, takes his siesta. Unless a
cigar or cigarette is provided the after
neal enjoyment is all broken up for
Billie, and he bleats continually until
provided with a smoke.
No ardent lover OF the fragrant weed
pulls at a cigar with more relish than
this goat. A conplacent smile curls his
upper lip when the lighted weed is
placed in his mouth, and the right fore
foot makes motions toward the whisEeTs
as though to stroke them. But Billie is
no ordinary smoker, nor is he unskilled
in the habit. He is not only cOnnois-
seur of the best clear Havana goods, but
is an adept at fast putting and graceful
manipulation Of the weed while i'll his
mouth. The smoke is never pulled out
Of his mouth. Billie inhales it and blows
it out through his nostrils i'll great
clouds 1t is related that he attempted
to make a smoke ring once, but in
puckering up his lips swallowed the ci-
gar, blaze and all He evidently relish
ed the bite as a dainty morsel, for since
that incident he never takes more than
one or two puffs at cigar or cigarette,
swallows it down, then blows the smoke
out of his nOstrils with the ease and
grace that would put to shame two
legged cigarette ticnd.
1t is only of late that Billie has taken
to the cigarette habit. 1t was apparent
ly with much regret that a brother goat
in an adjoining yard watched him tackle
the papers He prefers cigars, as rule,
however, but when nothing better is to
be had cigarette is welcome.
Charles Reber, the owner Of the goat,
notices his growing fonGness for Gig
arettes with much alarm. "With a
cigar in his mouth, " remarked Mr.. Re-
Der, che looks like the full grown, 12-
year-old, lG0 pound goat he is, but
when he wants to dude up with cute
little cigarette it spoils his handsome
cast of countenance Mr.. Reber is very
solcitous for the welfare of his animal
and has great expectations that the Gig
arctic crusade now on in the city will
be carried into the animal kingdom and
save his goat from tho grave of a con-
firmed cigarette Lond st. Louis Globe

General Logan and the Guide.

Mrs. Tucker, daughter of the late
General Logan, tells an amusing story
Of her fathers experience which he
greatly enjoyed relating about himself
ltwas some years before his death dur.
ing the most active period of his sena-
torial career. Taking advantage of re-
cess following an exciting debate he
strolled leisurely through the halls and
corridors outside the senate chamber
One Of the newly licensed guides, mis-
taking him for stranger in the city,
approached and proffered his services to
show him about the building To the
flow of eloquenco poured forth by the
guide General Logan paid not the slight
est attention, completely ignoring his
presence. This, however, so far from de-
terring the fellow from further effort,
seemed to spur him on. Following his
victim until the rotunda was reached,
they passed group Of veteran guides,
who took i'll the situation at % glance

DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENS.
Time and Effort Should lie Given to Good
Government.

We have placed too low a value upon
the moral tone of civic consciousness,
says Professor Gates. We have taken
too selfish views of what good govern
ment means and of what it must al
ways cost good citizens by way of indi-
vidual effort ED united effort. We have
been willing 70 think of the govern
ment Of our cities as if it were exclu-
sively matter of right statutes and low
taxes. There has been too generally 4
disposition to demand that town govern
ment Ego on of itself" after it has been
started along lines suggested by a NOR
al awakening to some great abuse ard
q popular uprising at the polls. Bust
ness men, when asked to take time to
plan for the good government of the
community, even to take time to vote,
have said: 1--WE cannot take time for
these things. What we want is Il gov
erment that will leave us free to attend
to our businessr' Is not this intense
and prevalent selfshness at the root of
the debauched and .debauching misgov-
ernment Of our cities?
When the interests of good govern
ment are Of so littlo importance to- the
great mass of even the best citizens that
they very impaticntly say: Let us at
tend to our own business. We have no
time for town politics, - be sure that
men will be found, and the worst men,
who will make its politics and its gov
eminent their especial and exclusive
business and will repeat with new
meaning the sinister cry of ''Let us at
tend to our own business!"

Rheumatism is more prevalent here
than ever before. When this disease
fastpns upon an individual with its
-orenpss and pain. swelling the joints,
rendering him helpless in bis move
ments, he is indeed an object of pity.
The slight pain in the back. joints or
muscles. is warning indication Of

and if not attended to at once, means
rheumatism.
Since thp introduction of DR.. David
Kennpdy's Favorte Remedy, there
have been fewer rheumatic sufferers.
Favorite Remedy drives out rheu-
matte poison from the blood, restores
the circulation. strengthens the nerve
power. The best rroof of its value,
is the good it has done.
