without looking, stepped backward, as
he supposed into the elevator. He fell

North Carolina. The unwritten. un-

persisted altogether already or are
buried in the minds of living men who
will not place them in written form

entertained. The most interesting parts
of a peoples history often remain I'M

some man to do for North Carolina
what Walter Scott did for his native

CROPS.

While, with few exceptions the con
 dition of crops everywhere is, at pres
 ert, excellent and that of the ranges
 fairly good, it is apparent that the
 July rains have not been fully up tc
 the requirements of those interested in
 the ranges, in most sections. The
 mountainous regions in south and east Pima county and in the western part | of Cochise county, the sources of the Santa Cruz and the San Pedro rivers, are exceptions, about five inches of l rainfall having been recorded by the observers at each of the voluntary stations, Orc Blanco and Mount Hua- chuca, during the current month As a result the range grass in that part of the territory is growing rapidly and cultivated crops are doing well.
 Frequent and heavy rains have also fallen during the month in the moun- tains of Graham county and over the mountain and plateau region of south ern Apache and Navajo counties, plac- ing the crops dependent upon these To- calities for irrigation water in the best possible condition.

SUMMER REST.

A cottage weather-stained and wide, A little back from the highway, Stands on a. sunny south hillside, And creepers climb it's walls of gray, And from the doorstep smooth and low The land slopes to brook below An arch of slender poles entwined Bends OCT a path that leads that
 way.
 And scarlet-runners closely wind And hang thereon their blossoms
 gay;
 And pinks and pease and pansiss grow Thereby in many a long, straight row. And should you wander down that way And leap the Brook, from stone to
 stone,
 From knoll to knoll you still might
 stray
 Until you came to the woodlands
 lone
 Where shadows .le the whole day long And thrushes sing their plaintive song. Or if you follow by the brook Beyond the alders, green and tall, You come upon a messy nook Beside a silver waterfall Where OCT the stones the bright
 stream bounds With many mingled, voice-like sounds. But should you tire of silvan ways, And long for human speech once
 more
 Then, shaded from the suns bright
 rays.
 Sit down beside the cottage door Where Lucy meath the creepers sits To entertain you while she knits. And Lucy's face is very fair, With brilliant eyes and lips of red, And heavy bands of auburn hair In wavy lines adorn her head. Her voice is low and when she speaks A blush creeps softly to her cheeks. She points you out, among the leaves, A cherry-bird with smooth, soft crest, And shows you where, beneath the
 caves,
 A pewee built, last year, her nest. You talk of life, and from her eyes The soul looks out in pleased surprise And here the blessed days go on Calm as the sunlight on the trees, We sleep at night and wake at dawn Refreshed by dreams of endless ease. Nor news of war, nor fortunes quest Intrude upon this summer rest. Mary H. Wheeler in Boston Tran script.

SUMMARY.

CO MINI Alt r.
 The high temperature common in this territory at this season of the year has prevailed, in the day time. during the past week, but correspon- dents reports indicate that the nights have been cool and pleasant all over the territory.
 Showery conditions continued in the mountain districts during the early part Of the week and at few places heavy rains are reported
 In the principal agricultural valleys the Salt River the Upper Gila the Lit tie Colorado, the San Pedro and Santa Cruz, the ground still retains sufficient moisture or the canals are supplying plenty of water from the rains of the previous week, for growing crops. The water in the Salt River valley canals is clearing. however, indications being that the tide" has turned, and without more rain in the mountains, rotation in irrigating will soon have to be prac- ticed again
