The first to reach the city were NJ. L
Crawford. Of Dallas. Tex, and J. T.
Smith, of Fort Worth, Tex They
had scarcely registered at the Bates
house before they complained Of the
heat, which is terrific. the thermom-
eter at noon standing at 90, with
scarcely breath Of air stirring. The
| Texas delegates had little to say OF
the proposed conference, but from
their utteranees it may be said that
they are not entirely in favor of gold
convention.
Down in our state, said Mr.. Smith,
''the gold men have allied themselves
with this or that party, and the sound
money faction has been almost
obliterated. There has been too much
delay, and do not think that action
at this time will bring out the full
strength of the movement
The Pennsylvania delegation ar
rived shortly after noon and TOOK
rooms at the Bates house. Reports
were received to the effect that New
Jersey will not send a delegate, ou'
u Mr.. Bynum is assured that any action
% which the conference may take VIII

of that state.

81 tion of gold ticket. 1t was expeete
that he would, at least Indirectly, er

Spring wheat. since the report one
month ago. in Kansas and Nebraska
has lost in condition. What has
been in many places has not
come up to expectations In Iowa the |
prospects are not so good as at the

having proved adverse factors. In
Wisconsin the crop at harvest time is
very poor, rust having affected 1t In
good many localities. Minnesota con-
I ditions are lower than one month ago,
/ Rust, chinch bugs and army worms
: have cut down the yield. The eondi'
tions in the Dakotas are very similar
and the reports are poorer than last

"Oats in Illinois have suffered dur

. very destructive in its work. The wet
;, weather has also damaged greatly the

Why Dentists Use Gold.

"People seem," said practical den
tist recently, ito wonder why it is that
dentists use gold for stopping teeth,
and are inclined to believe that it is
because they wish to run up the bills.
AS is well known, silver would resist
the acids found in the mouth almost
as well, and have been asked at least
20 times why / did not use silver. If
those who are SO anxious to cast asper-
sions on the dentists would only study
mctallurgy, they would find that the
reason that we employ only gold is that
it is the only metal that will weld while
cold. Silver will not do so; nor will
anything else. The cohesive properties
of perfectly smooth and clear gold arc
astonishing. If you take sheet of gold
foil and let it fall upon another, both
will be SO firmly joined that II will be
to separate them. 1t is this
property that makes gold valuable tn
dentists, and not the desire to increase
bills. = Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE OLD KITCHEN FIRE.

Mid sweet recollections sit In its blaze,
AS II sat long ago in youths mystical days.
And out Of the past that it hallowed yet
Come faces and voices cannot forget:
keeps its holds
On youth which 1t treasures a. Jewels and
gold.
And feel in my soul with it's lofty desire
The warmth and the glow Of the old kltch-
Flow often We laughed at the winds in their
might.
Al the meadow reposed meath their gar
ments of white:
The cracking Of nuts made the merriest
din.
1t was winter without. 1t was summer
within,
But silence would come at the beck OF the
cook
who told w the stories of banshee and
spook.
TIL the flames fickered low like they
wished to expire,
And we crept OF to bed from the old kitchen
fire.
I cherished the pictures times cannot ef-
The old-fashioned kitchen in memory I
trace,
And the boys and the girls who sit in n
On the stir. solemn chairs Of the dim long
ago; .s- $s< r.
And father and mother would often peep IL.
But never rebuke us no matter what din
We made in our glee; they would smile ard
retire,
For once they were young by the oldkitch-
en- fire.
1t 10 thus from the past that I pluck me a
rose
Which deep in the garden Of memory
grows,
And my heart keeps its youth through the
years as they glide
Bear me almost alone down the shadowy
tide:
i have only to listen and laughter hear,
I have only to wish and sweet faces come
near,
And sit once again. with a boyish desire.
In the warmth and the glow OF the old
kitchen fire.
IT. c. Harbaugh, in Ohio Farmer.
