As though to guide the enemy, ever and

cry that shot into the quiet air like an alarm

Danger hung over me like descending

BnCkWheat RidnR.

Finding a chance take the oppor-
tunity to write a few breezes from
Buckwheat Ridge.
II rained heavy last night and as it
is wet and my work is not pushing
me | will endeayor TO push my pens
Everything looks llourishing and re-
freshing among the hills and valleys
this morning. The little birds are
singing gaily in the treetops, and the
meadows clothed in their green man
tie and the fields with their broad
acres Of growing grain waving before
the wind, dotted here and there by
growing cornlields, does it not bring
back to us the thoughts of the words
in that good old song, ooh, what
shall the harvest be?n And bonntiful,
yes, bountiful may the harvest be.
Cultivating corn is the fashion
among our farmers just now. Ow-
ing to the recent heavy rains and
backward season it is somewhat diff
licult for them to get ahead of the
weeds but they are making the effort.
Mr.. John Berrigan, the enterprising
hired hand of Simeon Smith, who
went on weeks pleasure trip to
Kansas City to a Modern Woodmen
picnic, has decided to stay till the
first of December next, when he will
return and then what? Echo whis-
pers, ask Miss Amy.
Mr.. Dack, Ellenboro's enterprising
butter-maker, made flying trip to
Dubuque on business last week.
Work will soon begin on Mr.. Thos.
Teighe's new house. The cellar is
now Icing dug. Mr.. VIM. Matthews,
our noted stone mason, will DO the
rock work Shaw and Atkinson will
do the carpenter work.
Miss Woodward, music teacher of
Platteville, travels through our COM
munity once week giving music
lessons. We learn she has quite a
class of energetic pupils so we are
likely TO be quite musical in the flu
ture.
Mr.. Henry Dobson, our worthy SUI
perintendent, has a new appoin, ment
to preach at the Iake school house.
May he be enabled to preach the Cos
pei with force and power and BY thus
doing bring many souls in the foid.
Mr.. David Phillips, accompanied
by his sister Miss Nora, have been in
our community few days visiting
and holding meetings. We were
quite pleasantly surprised in Dave;
we had no idea he had become such a
fluent speaker One gentleman was
heard to remark after he had heard a
discourse from him, ''lIe did fine and
is making a man out of himself" 1t
also proves he has not been away 10
school for nothing, and il he follows
the course he has for the past few
years, it will not be many years be-
fore he will be one of the first speak
ers of the day. We feel somewhat
proud Of his abilities and worth be-
cause he was raised among us and
shall always be glad to have him come
and work among us.

Women Judges of Wine.

Il know of but three men in the
world who can judge wine," said Mrs.
Frona Eunice Wait, member of the
California state board of agriculture
and professional wine faster. 'They
are Guido Rossati, living in New
York; +. ID. Oldham, of London, and
Paul de Chanelle, president of the
French chamber of deputies. One of
these, Mr.. Oldham, has told me that in
case requiring very fine distinction
between wines he had to consult his
wife. Women are better wine tasters
than men. They are more sensitive to
impressions, and have more delicate
perceptions. Nine. Pommery was per.
haps the best wine faster of her time. ;"
