 The rain which fell in this valley has injured the crops, especially the wheat to an alarming extent. The damage will run up into thousands of dollars.

"and when that big melon began to
spread about he was happy. Well,
that melon kept on growing, and hnal'
ly it became question of whether they
should move the house or cut the mel,

of that melon, and he didn't like to
cut it until it was fully ripe. he
thought it over a great deal, and final
ly decided to move the house. A doz-
en- men were employed, and the house
was moved. But that melon kept on
growing until it became necessary to
move the barn or cut the melon.
Grandfather had the barn moved, and
then the fence. At last the melon was
ripe. He determined to have regu-
lar watermelon feast, so he invited the
neighbors for miles around. He en-
ployed two men with cleaves to cut tne
melon. At last the eventful day ar.
rived, and hundreds of people stood
around with open eyes and mouths;
Finally the melon was cut ope1,' ana
to the dismay of all it was found to be

The DELIGHTS OF BOYHooD.-Id
like to be boy again without woe
or care, with freckles scattered on my
face and hayseed in my hair; I'd like
to rise at o'clock and do hundred
chores, and saw the wood and feed the
hogs and lock the stable doors; and
herd the hens and watch the bees, and
take the mules to drink, and teach the
turkeys how to swim so that they
wouldn't sink A; and milk about a hun.
dred COWS and bring in wood to burn,
and stand out in the sun all day and
churn, and churn, and churn; and
wear my brothers cast-off clothes and
walk four miles to school, and get q
licking every day for breaking some
old rule, and then get home again at
night and do the chores once more
aud milk the COWS and feed the hogs
and curry mules galore, and then
crawl wearily upstairs to seek my little
bed and hear dad say: "That worth.
less boy! He isn't worth his bread !'
I'd like to be boy again; boy has SC

there's nothing pleasanter than closing

ALTERING THE PROGRAMMED
Young masher, walking up and down
the platform of a railway station in
Scotland with companion who had
come to see him off, observing two
handsome girls enter frst-class car
riage.
"Look here" he said to his compan-
ion, who did not pay much attention
to his dress, "I'll get into the same
compartment, and I'll tell you what |
want YOU to do. When the train is
about to start, you come up and touch
your hat, and say to me, My lord, the
guns and dogs are in the van.'"
His companion smiled assent, but
said he doubted if be could do it with
the proper air of a nobleman's servant.
The masher took his seat with a
lordly air in the same carriage with
the young ladies whose interest he
wished to excite. The moment arrived
and the train began to move, when his
companion came up to the carriage
window.
"Hey, jock" he shouted, "tell your
master to be sure to send the trousers
O. mine by Saturday !"-the young
masher having to reconcile himself
as best he could to be reg lrded as a
tailor's apprentice.

THEJUDGE's SEAL.-ln Chittenoen s
recent volume of "Reminiscences" ap-
pears a good story of Judge Harring-
ton of Vermont, who was famous IN
his day as the man who never gave up
a slave without title from the "orlgl-
nal proprietor" Technical o9Jections
did not weigh heavily with the judge
as one Daniel Chapman found in a case
of eiectment. Chapman objected to
the admission of the deed because 1t
had no seal. .
"But your client sold the land, got
his pay for it, and gave the deed, didn't
he ?" asked Judge Harrington. .,
"That makes no difference" SAID
Chipman 'the deed has no seal and
cannot be admitted"
"Mr. Clerk" said the judge. "give
me q wafer and three-cornered piece
of paper" .,.
The clerk obeyed, and the judge
deliberately made and affixed the
seal. =, :,
"There, Brother Chipman," said the
Judge. "the deed is all right now, and
NAV be put in evidence. A man is
not going to be cheated out of his farm
in this court because his deed lacks a
wafer when there is whole box OF
waters on the clerks desk"
