any arduous journey is to be
performed, he calls for his cigar at
intervals, and enjoys it with a placidity

holder is first inserted into his mouth.

the holder. The dromedary closes his
eyes in ecstatic anticipation. and then
smokes diligently until the cigar is ex-
hausted. By the time the weed is
finished the dromedary is in fine con-
dition. The process of recuperation is
often repeated a dozen times a. day.

their way to their homes for the sum-
mer vacation. They were bubbling
over with fun and gave vent to 1t by
giving different college yells now and
then. They We're under the personal
supervision of Rev. Father Keogh, vice
president of the college.
One yell which was given with great
force was this:
Hoop-aIa! Hoop-a1ai
Who can guess?
ST. Mary's-
Another highly edifying sentiment
was expressed by this yell, which re-
quired more wind:
Niger, niger, hoe potato

GRANGE LOSING GROUND.
Says Maryland State President Be-
cause Politics Is Excluded.

Washington. June 23.-Jos B. Ager, pres
irons of Husbandry was before the in
dustrial committee yesterday He said
that trust among the farmers such as
was suggested by Mr.. Havemeyer was
impracticable. owing to the difficulty of
getting the farmer to hold up prices
Speaking of colored labor he said it was
unreliable because of the natural indo-
Ience and Indifference of individuals of the
race Liquor he regarded as the great
bane of that people. and responsible for
nine-tenthS OF the crimes committed by
them
Mr.. Ager considered the condition of the
average farmer as worse than it was 20
years ago. but he believed money invest ed
in farming safer than in other lines OF
business. He attributed the number of
abandoned farms in the states to the fact
that they were owned by non-residents
Mr. Ager said the grange was not so
prosperous in point of numbers as former
ly and he attributed the falling of large
~ to the fact that the grange could not
be used in politics
