An American physician was in

was introduced to an Austrian who,
the host whispered proudly, spoke
English fluently.

wished us to speak English to each

"'Where did you study Englisha'
In myself, he said, with great
effort. -
The young woman the doctor took
out to dinner had come in from the
country especially to meet him. She
was much disappointed to find the
gentleman from America was white.
She piled him with all manner of
questions. Dinner began with chick
en- soup, "and," continues the mar
rator, of course my neighbour ask

"Next came roast goose that melt

afforded me blessed release from
the witness stand. The, gentlemen
were going to the coffee house to
read the papers, and the ladies
would follow in an hour, I was told.
Mr.. Fehevary kept at a safe distance
from me all the time. I saw him
handling pocket dictionary and
knew he was getting loaded with
something, for he looked very studi-
Gus, and his lips were moving inces-
sanity. At last he seemed to have
it, for look of triumph came over
his face.
''We were ready to go. The serv-

Seasonable weather conditions pre-
vailed generally during the past week,
and good progress has been made in
the farm operations and in the growth
of crops. The cultivation of corn has
been pushed to practical completion
in nearly all sections of the state, and
this crop is being laid by in remark
able promising condition in respect to
size, color, stand and freedom from
weeds.
The hay harvest has progressed fairly
well, except in some localities in the
northern districts where the crop was
injured by showers. Spring wheat,
oats and barley are making good pro-
gress toward maturity, and have not
lodged to the extent that was anticipa-
ted.
The harvest of winter wheat and rye
is in process, and some fields of barley
are about ready to be cut. There
are some reports of damag to winter
wheat by rust and insects.
