What Did He Really Want?


He entered the shop hurriedly, with
the air of man whose mind was filled
by a weighty commission. Those
whom he passed at the door heard him
coming under his breath formula
which he seemed to fear might slip
away and be lost. He approached the
counter like one who wishes it were
we'll over.
II wish to get," he said boldly, "some
ribbon for a red baby"
The shop girls blank stare seemed
to arouse him to a sense of something
lacking.
"That u.s." he said, 81 would like
some baby for a ribbed red one"
The assistant was smiling broadly
now, and four others, a shopwalker
and seven customers gathered and
grinned in unison.
He began again. "That is-of
course, you know, mean, some ribbed
red baby for one-that is, some red
ribs for one baby-some ones red
baby's ribs-some red ribs for one baby
-some-thunder and guns, where's
the way out?"
He departed with speed.
II WONDER" said the shop girl,
thoughtfully, an hour or so afterward,
If he could have meant some red baby

Wise Man.

1t was pretty little incident, and
true. An old couple from the East
were visiting their son in this city. If
the mother gets out of sight of the
father he is constantly asking for her,
and is not content until they are to-
gether again. The other evening she
went to another part Of the house
while he was in the parlor. and, after
he had asked for her half a dozen
times. the son said, rather Guilty:
at seems as though you couldn't be
without mother five miutes at time"
you're right" said the old gentle
man, slowly. ''That's the reason

Iirht In the Window

Someone once wrote sensational
song about the Light in the window
for me-" and ever since that time the
light in the window" has figured in
poetry and song to a greater extent,
and in more sensational manner, than
1t is entitled to. The cold truth is that
when there is a light in the window it
means someone is sitting up to give
the last one to come in q scolding or
advice about the good sense of going
to bed earlier. A light in the window
is something that nagged person new
er fails to see, and when his eyes first
see it in turning corner he gets a
cold chill and longs for home in a
boarding house. The ''light-in-the-win-
dow" sentiment is badly overdone.-

What Former Resident of Id ,hoSays
Regarding Western Canada.
Mr.. T. A. Tolman. of Lacombe, AL
berta. N. w. T., former resident OF
Cascia County, Idaho, who moved to
Western Canada in July, 1894, writes
as follows:
II brought here thirty-four head OF
cattle. fifteen horses, two wagons. two
sets of harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded
the southeast quarter of Section Is.
Township 40, Range 26. west of the 4th
Meridian, also purchased a quarter
section of Canadian Pacific Railway
land. l have been farming more or
less all my life and l am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about five thousand dollars.
The yield of my grain all round in 1897
was 60 bushels per acre. This year
(1S9S) yield of. wheat per acre, BIZ
bushels, oats, SO bushels, barley,
IS, and potatoes, 400 per acre.
I consider that this is much
better country for a man than
where came from, provided he is in
dustrious. You get free homestead
here, and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy.
1 have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me, and am
much pleased with my purchase, as the
land has already much more than paid
for itself. School law here is decidedly
ahead of where came from, and there
are achOOlS wherever there are SET

Climate and CrOD ReDOrt

The last climate and crop report
bulletin f1Soo for Maryland and
Delaware, which was issued today
by the Baltimore Weather Bureau,
contains a summary of the
weather conditions and crop yields
for the season. The bulletin is
published during the spring and
summer months for general
information to the agricultural and
scientific interests of the State with
regard to weather conditions for
planting, cultivating and harvesting
summer and fall crops.
The summary shows the past
season unfavorable for wheat, rye,
timothy, clover. potatoes and
peaches. Other crops did we'll
and gave from average to abundant
yields. Yields of wheat, rye and
hay were light, owing to lack of
snow protection in December and
January. The February cold
killed nearly all the peaches and
about one-haf the pears. App'es
escaped injury and have given or
will give abundant yields, and
oats gave good yields in all dis
tricts. The hailstorm of August
destroyed much of the tobacco,
particularly in St. Mary's county,
Maryland, but as whole the crop
has been large and is saved in
fine condition.
Unusually fine crops of early
corn we're made in many districts,
and the late crop promises good
returns. Early and late potatoes
suffered from dry weather periods.
Tomatoes yielded well, straw
berries were excellent, and
cateloupes and watermelons
abundant.
The harvest season was
exceptionally favorable, and all
crops of whatever yield we're
gathered in good condition.
