the worlds crop of 1897 being smaller
than that of any year since 1890, while
the 1897 crop in the United States Is
reported as larger than in any year
since 1891.
A table showing farm prices OF wheat
in the United States during term OF
years, gives the average farm price Of

here they sit cross-'egged, wriggling and

the sweet earnest faces of the teachers-Our
college girls. They have on dark red
shawls, covering their heads and reaching
nearly to the bottom of their dresses when
folded cornerwise. When they marry they
will assume the izzar, or sheet, of course.
You should have seen US coming along last
Sunday. The rain was pouring and every
step of the way is down hill (about half
hours walk returning.) The streets are
about as far as l could reach across and an

roll them. The water collects In depres-

As there is no uniformity about the length
of these spouts, one may be walking along
in the middle of the street, land of the cur
rent flowing down it) thinking to escape the
caves, and suddenly be deluged with the

The Costa Rican Counterfeiters.

For months the Costa Rican counterfeiteas
have been issuing bogus notes of the govern
ment of the island until the amount, 1t is
said, has reached $1,000,000. Inspectors of
the secret service bureau were chiefly instru-
mental in bringing the malefactors to JUS
tce. The efficiency of the secret service is
undoubted, but IL is by no mears a secret,
but patent fact, that the service that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters does the weak,
nervous and dyspeptic is OF genuine value.
There have been from time to time counter
feits of 1t, but the miniature note OF hand on

Their First Run.
From The Owosso Press:

- THE Fat Mans Club
:: :: !: :: : !: :: !:
z<zE$M enjoyed its first run
K%8uN for the season of '9S
. TENAXN last Friday evening,
~ w. spin out toward Val
ley mills. was the clubs first appear
ance in 1.-THE new regulation uniforms,
feature which has been recently added
to the rules Of the organization. The
uniform consists of grey suit and cap and
black stockings and every member will
report at regular club meetings in full
dress uniform, unless he desires to sub
ject himself to heavy fine.
The uniform idea was adopted with a
view to averaging the members in APP
pearance ii not in size and weight. The
uniforms of fat men Cromer, Hunt, Keel
er, White and Taylor being fitted with a
pneumatic lining which gives them a
fleshy appearance when inflated.
Before starting on the run, each MEM
Der was presented by President Bentley
with ''Devil" whistle, and judging from
the noise made by the whistles, they are
not appropriately named. Fat man
Black presented each of his companions
in corpulency with small silk flag
which was worn upon the lapel of the
coat.
The announcement that the Auxiliary"
had disbanded was the cause of much
comment, and it is generally understood
that the knotty problem of uniforms was
the cause of the dissolution of the organi
cation. Some of the ladies favored o
strictly up-to. date Chicago costume while
others favored an outfit less conspicuous
An honorary membership, minus the vot'
ing privilege, may be extended to the
"Auxiliary" by the fat mans club.
A banquet royal was enjoyed by the
club after the run, at Hotel Wildermuth
after which business meeting was held
at the store of fat man Parkill. The clut
anticipates very enjoyable season.
The club will have another run this
week Friday.
