AMATEUR FARMING.

Altogether l find farming to be more
complicated business than l had antici-
pated. During the first two years OF my
ownership of THE Moorands," n willy
Long Islander came to me and persuaded
me to sell him the hay on my twelve acres
for twenty-five dollars, because. he as
sured me. st wasn't fit for horses to eat"
When my groom also conceded in this
opinion, l let this accommodating farmer
have the grass, and felt quite under obli-
cations to him for relieving me of such
worthless product. The third year, how
ever when he renewed his offer land had
spent several hundred dollars on hay at
thirty dollars per TOM a suspicion awoke
in me that he might not be acting in good
faith l observed that his horses ate the
hay with relish. Why should my horses
be so much more fastidious than his? /
accordingly kept the hay, and, "mirabile
dictu," my horses ate 1t and thrived. /
scornfully rejected the hint that my groom
dropped "a successor of the afore-men-
toned one) that 1t was the same hay;
that. in other words, had In previous
years sold my own hay at less than two
dollars a ton and bought 1t back at thirty.
when In somewhat acrimonious dialogue
suggested this possibility to the Long
Islander in question. he smiled in an un-
easy evasive kind of way, and remarked,
you are getting to be quite n farmer,
amt you?"-IIjalmer Hjorth Boyesen. in

HOW HANNA FEELS.
Pleased With the Result and tho Con-
ordinations Received.

st. Louis. June l9-Mr. Hanna's apart
ments In the Southern hotel were crowded
until long after midnight. The leaders of
note, senator's and members of the lower
House of Congress, scores of politicians of
reputation, national and local ocked in
to congratulate the established leader of
the party upon the most successful cam
paign ever waged for a nomination.
Dispatches from all over the country.
hundreds in number, all of similar tenor
were piled upon the centre table, and Wis
tors glanced over them with evident pleas
ure. Chief among those was one from the
successful nominee, reading:
Canton, O..
Thanks and congratulations upon the
success of your efforts.
(Slgned) WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Another of hardly less interest ran thus:
Rhlneclff. n. Y.
Accept my sincerest congratulations
upon the brilliant success of your cam
paign for my personal friend Mckinley.
(Signed) LEVI p. MORTON.
One OF the bystanders asked MIR. Hanna
IL he were pleased.
Pleased" he said, 81 am delighted. J."
Whein Mr.. Hepburn said yesterday after
noon in the convention that Major McKin-
ley's nomination was due neither to me
nor to any other individual, he voiced the
sentiment that was in my mind when be-
gan my work for Major Mckinley. which
has been increased and intensified by every
day which has passed since my first en-
barkation In 1t. The only work l have
done, and the only claim | make upon the
good will of my fellow citizens. lies in the
fact that l gave the plain American peo-
pie q chance to voice their sentiments in
regard to their favorite presidential cam
ddate. I was particularly pleased with
the speech made in the convention yester-
day afternoon. wherein my friend was
styled, william Mckinley of the United
States"
"Of course he Is an Ohio man, born and
bred as l am, and of course his native
State is proud of him, but he is the prod
uct of the country and not of any common
wealth within its borders, and this was
another of the things that | knew before
/ began my work, and which l have
learned better and better as the days
spent in 1t went by. william Mckinley is
an absolutely ideal candidate. / suppose
under tho circumstances l shall be ac-
cused of being prejudiced in his favor but
my prejudice comes from intimate person.
al contact into which he and | have been
thrown for many years. The longer l
have known him, the more have respect
ed and admired him, and what Is true of
me Is not the less true of thousands of his
friends and asquaintances throughout AM
erica
"Mr. Hobarts nomination must be graft
flying to the great body of republicans
throughout the country. In personal char
acter and qualifications for office he is a
fit associate for Maj Mckinley, and will
bring great strength to the ticket, In
addition he is wholly free from fractional
complications, a leader within his own
State, and liked best where he is best
known. l do not see who under the cir
cumstances a wiser and better choice
could have been made.
