lone of the most curious instances
of superstition in humble people was
lately noted by clergyman in Eng
land and reported upon by him in a
London paper. The superstition had
not in this case particular reference to
the clergyman, but it is not the less
amusing on that account. The clergy
man was walking through the outskirts
of his parish one evening when he saw
one of his Pensioners very busy
embarrassing his cottage. The parson
pleased at these unusual signs of clean
illness, called out: Well Jones, l see
you are making your house nice and
smart With mysterious air. Jones,
who had recently taken the cottage,
descended from the ladder and walked
to the hedge which separated the gar
den from the road. That's not exactly
the reason why I'm ADDING this ere
job, he whispered, but the last two
couples as lived in this ere cottage 'ad
twins; so says to my mlssus. III tai e
and whitewash the place, so as there
mayn't be no infection. Ye see sir, as
'ow we got ten of 'em already

The Wheat Crop.

The Denison Herald which as a
rule is pretty fair authority ON
crops, says:
There is only one thing the
matter with the wheat crop in this
section of Texas and the Indian
Territory this year, and that is the
shortness of the acreage. Last
fall about the time that wheat
should have been sUwn the weather
was exceedingly dry and unpromis-
ing. Many farmers went ahead
and sowed wheat anyway, and IN
many instances it lay in the ground
two months before it sprouted
and when finally the rain came,
the wheat came up, and instead of
having to plant the ground in cot
ton, corn or something else, the
farmer who took the chance and
sOwed wheat was rewarded with a
good crop. Wheat cutting is now
going on and the crop was never
more promising than now. The
straw is strong and good, the
grain is full and we'll developed,
and the yield per acre will be above
the average, and the quality of
grain the best that has been pro-
duced in this section in many
years. The oat crop is just as
good as the wheat crop The oat
acreage is very large. and the crop
is exceptionally good. The corn
crop is fine, and a little rain just
now would not hurt corn or cotton,
and would benefit the vegetable
gardens very materially.

EX-SENATOR INGALLS, figures
that trusts are beneficial to indi-
vidual consumers, but detrimental
to small merchants and manufac-
lures. We decline, however, to
accept his argument that trusts
have lowered prices; it is improve
ments in machinery and other
methods of production in all lines
of industry, which have lowered
prices, and the lowering has been
in spite of the trusts, rather than
because of them. The only time
that trust ever favors lower
prices, for anything but labor and
what it has to buy, is when it is
crushing out a rival.
