Worlds Breadstuffs Supply

The supply of Breadstufis in second
hands in America, Canada and Europe
August l, reported at 69,60O,000 bu.
is the smallest total we have ever rec
orded at this or any other period OF the
season, and is within 100000 bu. of
the forecast made in the review of June
81. 1t may be that this is the lowest
point to which the worlds visible sup
ply will fall for very long time, I'M
less, indeed, we make an exception for
Sept. l. when it is possible the likely de
crease in the European quota may
counterbalance the probable increase
in the American moiety. 1t is hard
to grasp the smallness OF the present
total of 69,6O0,0O0 bushel but when it
is pointed out that it represents less
than 8 per cent of the annual produce
ton, or just ten days supply it may
be easier to realize. As, however, the
worlds new crop is harvested and
ready for use, the state of the reserves
is of only secondary importance ex-
cept locally.-Daily Trade Bulletin.

We solicit correspondence from any

column. We understand perfectly
well that just now is the busy season
of the year and of course we do not ex-
pect so much correspondence from the
farmers as we will after harvest and
during the winter months. Until then
we will try to supply the place with
such mat ter as we deem of interest to
the farmer. We shall use great care
to copy from the m ost reliable sources
that are available. Some OF our farmers
have kindly rendered the use OF their
agricultural journals during the har-
vest months from which we derive
quite help in the selection OF some
thing that would be Of the most inter

There is weed growing along the
highways in this vicinity and in the
streets and upon vacant lots within
the city. that will some day become a
worse pest than the Canadian thistle
unless it is soon stamped out. We
speak of the wild lettuce or Chinese
thistle, 1t ripens ON the roadside, and
the autumn winds scatter the seed
broadcast. The weed grows to a
heighth Of two or three feet, has long
slender leaf, prickly on the under side,
and it is said to be so obnoxious that
stock will 60 around it. There is a
state law providing for the punish
ment of anyone who permits this or
similar weeds to mature on his prem
Uses, and street commissioners and
road supervisors also are expected to
make every effort to destroy such
pests-Cheney Sentinel.

She shrank covering from him. His
angry face, the anger that shone in
his eyes, the stern voice frightened
her. She shrank lower and lower,
until she fell on her knees, sobbing as
though her heart would break.
"Stir at your peril" he said, and
then he left her.
For some few minutes afterward she

pity and compassion, followed by the
tramp of many footsteps, and then all
was still.
The ground was covered with dead
and dying leaves. Lady Caraven flung
herself down upon them, and as she
lay there the old words came to her
LET me die" Death would have been
a mercy.
The golden stars came out in the sky
Was it really herself, or was she
dreaming? Was she Hildred, the beau
tiful, popular Countess of Caraven,
lying there in all the abandonment OF
her misery, her husbands angry voice
in her ears, the marks of his angry
grasp on her arm? Outcast, wretched,
despairing, there was only one friend
for her in the world, and that was Sir
Raoul; If she could but see him, If
she could but tell him! The pitiless
night hid her from all eyes. Surely
there had never been a night so full OF
pain.
How long she had been lying there
she never knew. Time was all ended
for her. She was conscious only Of
infinite misery. She did not even feel
the chill breath of the wind as it
passed over her.
Then, after what seemed to her an
age of suspense and agony, she heard
footsteps amid the brushwood. and
Lord Caraven calling her by name.
81 am here" she said.
In the thick growing darkness 1t was
with difficulty that he discovered her.
He saw her at length lying with her
face hidden among the dead leaves.
"You may rise and thank Heaven"
he said, in stern voice, that You
have not succeeded; the EVIL is not SO
great as 1t might have been"
She rose and stood before him, the
same dazed look on her face.

As . Rule Her Truest Interpreters In
Art Are the Women Painters.
Ito be Continued.)


Art Are the Women Painters.
About the last literary work COM
pleted by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler
was beautiful tribute to Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose" published in
the Woman's Home Companion, in
which she says: LAS a rule women
make the best flower painters. The
men who excel in this branch Of art
are comparatively few, even when we
consider the small number of artists
Of both sexes who have acquired repu-
tation in the picturing of flowers. The
reason is not difficult to see. The av-
erage woman has fondness for flow
ers which brings her into the closest
sympathy with them, and enables her
to appreciate and understand them as
men seldom do. In the Interpretation
of certain subtle phases of floral life
her sensitive temperament and the Pc
culiarly sympathetic feeling that she is
apt to bring to her labor Of love espe-
cially qualify her for engaging in this
department of picture making. In
point of technical ability some marvel
ously clever work has been done by ar
lists of the gentler sex in the reproduc-
ton of flowers and in the treatment OF
difficult subjects"

thing that could be given would she
be caught there. She wanted to has
ten. but she could not: 1t was as
though great weights Of lead were fas-
tened to her feet. Her brain was dizzy;
the unusual excitement, the frenzy Of
love and jealousy, had been too much
for her; her tall, graceful figure swayed
for a minute like leaf in the wind, a
low moan came from her lips, and
then, as in dream, the white, angry
face OF her husband was looking into
hers, and he grasped her arm In a
hard, cruel grasp.

There is a wonderful falling off just
at present of accounts of swindlers
getting in their work over the state.
People are so busy now that they have
no time to stop and talk to agents, but
they show up now and then. Recent
ly a lady entered furniture store in
western Kansas and asked the price of
a certain kind of a picture frame. She
said she had purchased one from a
peddler, and was curious to know what
she could have bough. It at home for.
When asked what price she paid she
flushed and said, I'm ashamed to tell. "
She had been bitten. but did not pro-
pose to tell how badly.

ty farmer lost field of wheat by fire.

1t is stated that out of 800 claims

house no track up to Saturday night.
Had to shovel every foot of the entire
distance and no passing for eight days,
and some wished they were in Klondike
digging gold.
But little news from correspondents
outside of the town.

Mimi, arrived in town, accompanied
by Manley Rowe's little boy, Saturday,
the 10Th. liz is reported that the boys
father has gone to the Klondike.

one question to be acted upon, shall we
have new board of selectmen, if so,
elect the best men we have in town to
that office. Another important officer
to be elected is road commissioner, and
do we really need such an officer. High
way surveyors, properly elected or
appointed, answers every purpose, if
sworn. A. X.
