think" he said, "Knute is just as
good a populist as Mr.. Owen, and
had the republicans not nominated
him two years ago for governor, the

it seems to be more 'expedient' for
him to be a republican, so-called. AS

Sunday evening last, as your uncle
Harvey Shepard returned from
church he took seat by the side OF
the glowing, cheerful fire at the
"Worthington." He looked quite SER

the innermost "recesses'' of his soul.
All at once he got up, stood with his
back to the fire, parted his coat tails,
and said: II was thinking if it would

I do not think Harvey could tell
what the text was.

Plots did not feel so we'll.

j. A. Town was making cam
paign for sheriff that fall. and one
bright morning started out to 'do or
die" in the interest of his cause. He
had gone but short distance when
the ''storm of hoppers" became SO
great that his horses would not face
them and he was obliged to turn back
and for long time leave his cam
paign in the hands of fate alone. In
spite of the hoppers, however, he won
the contest holding the office several
years, and was one of the best sher-
ifs the county ever had.

r. B. Plots, who is hardly ever
seen about the hotel, fell into remi-
nicient mood. He remembered dis
tinctly when be was living out on the
farm and also when the grasshoppers,
way back in the 70's, lit down on his
fine field of oats. The pests literelly
covered the field and seemed to be
devouring everything. A bright
thought struck him about the same
time the hoppers struch his oat field
He and his hired man got onto horses
and taking a long rope galloped
along either side with the line be-
tween them and scraped off the maui
RAIDERS. The hoppers got up and
left, much to the satisfaction of my
friend Plots. But the hungry crowd
came back the next day and did not
leave enough of that crop to build a

In the department of Castaneras in
San Salvador there has been no rain
for nearly year and the people were
brought to such a pass that they
were actually dying of thirst, to say
nothing of the total destruction of all
crops and other agricultural indus
tries. Ell Pueblo Catolico of San Sal
vador prints a decree promulgated
by the alcede of the principal town in
that department. It is as follows:
"Considering that the Supreme
Creator has not behaved we'll in this
province, as in the whole of the last
year only one shower of rain fell; that
in this summer, Notwithstanding all
the professions, prayers and praises
It has not rained at all and conse-
quently the crops in Casteneras, on
which depend the prosperity OF the
whole department.. are entirely
ruined, it is decreed:
"Articlc |. If within the period OF
eight days of date of this decree rain
does not fall abundantly no one will
90 to mass or say prayers.
Art. 2. If the drought continues
eight days more the churches and
chaples shall be burned, and missals,
rosaries and other objects OF devotion
will be destroyed.
cart. 3. If. finally, in the third per.
iod of eight days it shall not rain, all
the priests. friars, nuns and saints,
male and female. will be beheaded.
And, for the present, permission IS
given for the commission of all sorts
OF sin, in order that the Supreme Gre
ator may understand with whom ne
has to DEAL"
The most remarkable feature OF
this affair is the fact that four days
after this decree was promulgated the
heaviest rainfall known for years was
precipitated on the burning comm"n'
ity.

Bob Vreeland of the popul r cloth
ing firm Of Bob & Nels, takes lively
interest in politics; aside from watch
ing the senatorial fight for the past
few weeks he has kept his ear pretty
close to the ground to keep tab on
the trend of business. He hands us
the following lines which he thinks
ought to interest some one:
lam going to vote to change times back
When can count up gains,
For I've learned through my stomach
What couldn't through my brains.
Sonp houses have been opened.
But the diets awful thin.
Free traders made their promises
And denounced Mckinley tin.
But the people have grown wiser.
Losses don't SIZE up with gains.
They've found out through their stoinachs
What they couldn't through their brains
They pity the 'poor farmer
Taffy well the workingman
And praise the free trade Wilson bill
To the people of the land
And how they love the petitioner
1t gives the veterans pains.
But they learned through their stOmachs
What they couldn't through their brains.
They promised us much better times
And money free as mud,
But work has stopped and wages drop'd
Way down with dull thud.
But we have smitten those Democrats
And given those liars pains.
For we've learned through our stomachs
What we couldn't through our brains.

There is great suffering in South
Dakota, and Nebraska, and it is evil
dent that hundreds of people in
the drouth stricken territory must
be helped. They are in hard circum-
stances-no fuel, no clothing, no
crops, nothing to sell. Many towns
about us are gathering quantities OF
clothing and provisions and forward
ing them to the sufferers. Worthing-
ton should not be behind in this
matter, steps should at once be taken
to load car and send it along to our
neighbors. Mr.. AEON Forbes called
yesterday to say that he could be
depended upon to contribute as
much as anyone. Mr.. Forbes is
never backward in movements of this
kind, he is always ready to lend a
helping hand to less fortunate
neighbor; there are hundreds Of
others in Worthington just as will
ling, and we hope some will take the
lead in the matter and see that at
least a car load of clothing, provis-
ions etc is sent to the needy.

IN THE JAM TRADE
Cladstonc's Wisdom In Advising the Farm.
ers tn Cultivate Fruit.

CladstOnc's WISDOM In AovlsinS the e A<n1~
ers tn Cultivate Fruit.
A few years ago, when Mr. Gladstone,
in one of his charming bucolic orations
ut Hawarden, recommended the British
farmer to turn his attention to fruit
cultivation and the making of jam, his
advice was received with a good deal of
cheap and ignorant ridicule. AS usual,
the ex-premier has proved good deal
wiser than his critics, and those who
gave ear to his counsel in this instance
have had no reason to regret their con-
fidence In an interview a famous pro-
wider said TO a representative OF the
Westminster Gazette:
The motive that induced me to take
up the jam trade was my knowledge OF
the fact that within. late years the de-
mand for preserves has been steadily
increasing, while that for butter has
no doubt in conscquence-shown
tendency rather 10 decline than other
wise. Catering as do for some three
hundred thousand daily customers, l
have naturally good opportunity OF
knowing what the public want in
the matter of provisions.
jam has a great future before it,
The people are using it more and more
largely every year-and, in my opinion,
they are doing wisely, for what could
be cheaper and at the same time
healthier than good jam made from
sound English fruit?
Il attribute the superiority of Eng
lish fruit to the nature of the soil and
to the fact that the fruit ripens more
gradually in our climate than in coun-
tries where there is more continuous
and powerful sunshine. The slower
the ripening process, the better is the
flavor of the fruit.
you may not, perhaps, be aware
that Strawberries grown in the north
ern parts of Scotland are vastly superior
In all respects to those grown in south
ern England-without doubt because
they take longer to mature. Australian
Jams are being pushed largely in In
siia and elsewhere, and may very prob
ably come over here before long to
compete with our home produce.
In Ireland there is a magnificent
future for the fruit-growing industry,
if only its opportunities were turned to
account. Even now most Of the black
berries that come to the English mar
kets are grown in Ireland. But there
are enormous possibilities there Of
which no one has yet taken advantage.
Properly worked, its fruit trade might
vet do much to insure Ireland's com
mercial prosperity

CORN AND COTTON.
Two Staples In Which tho Cnitsd Geate0
Leads the Whole World.

Cotton and corn are the two great
American staples, and the two in
which the United States stands easily at
the head not only of all countries, but
of all countries combined, says the
New York Sun. The total cotton sup
ply OF the world, figured on the basis of
bales of 400 pounds each, is about H.
600. 900 bales, and of this amount the
United States produces about e,000,0 900
bales, or two-thirds of the whole
amount. The crop here attained the
highest figures before the war in 1860,
when it was 1890, 900 bales of 40
pounds: 1892 was the best year for cot
son since, the crop being 1900, goo bales
of 40 pounds
The corn acreage of the United States
for 1894 is 65, o0O, 600 acres, and the total
produc. 1900, 900, OoO bushels, of the
value of about 5000, 600, 900. The great
corn year was 1889, with crop of 2. 10o,-
000. 900 bushels; 1891 followed with
2,0O0, 000, 600 bushels In 1892 ard 1898
the figures were about the same. co.,

A Feature of Business Performed by Public
Accountants After Dark.
In MANY a business Office there is
transacted business at night of which
none of the employees are aware 1t ia
the auditing of books, feature OF
work performed by several well-known
public accountants.
Of course in the majority of such
cases the partners in the concern have
had some reason to suspect some OF the
Office force of dishonest practices. At
times, however, one partner may sus-
pect another, or some reason may arise
where the firm desire to ascertain their
standing at an unusual time o. the
wear. and without its being known to
the bookkeeper.
1T is by no means an unusual feat
ure of nv work." said well known
public accountant, in speaking about
the matter recently. Many a time
when a large mercantile house has
closed for the night and every body has
gone home, nv men have entered the
store. taken the books from the safe
and worked over them until daybreak.
SIN such cases they never touch
pen or pencil to the books. They mere
" verify the figures uand transcrlbe
the entries on paper. The result OF
each mans work is kept by itself,
and turned over to another person in
my Office, who obtains the final results.
Every care is taken in handling the
books and replacing them in the safe
to give no grounds for suspicion of
what is going on.
''No doubt many bookkeeper and
cashier in this city would be surprised
to peep into his office at night and find
a force of men working over the books.
as Familiarity as he and his fellow
clerks have been doing IN the day time
for years. The night force speedily be-
come acquainted with the names OF
customers and the pages OF the ledger
accounts, turning to them without ref
erence to the index, like old hands.
Sometimes, of course, the fact OF
our working at night over the books
never becomes known to tine clerks. 1t
the accounts are found straight there
is no occasion to let them know they
have been suspected. A: other times
they discover that their figures have
been overhauled, when 'confroted with

that somebody's foot came in contact
with his trousers and he began going
downstairs at most terrible rate.
1t seems clear that the business man
did make his appearance in the Office a
few minutes later and asked what kind
OF pepsin that was he had been given.
The new clerk replied that it had been
bought at the drug store But just then
the head clerk came up. and the whole
thing was explained. Real pepsin was
too much for the old mans digestion
