WEATHER AND CROPS.

The week ending June 18th was the
warmest so far this season, the tempera-
ture averaging about three degrees daily
above normal. Frost occurred during
the early part of the week IN Eureka,
Elko and Churchill counties, but nc
damage of any consequence is reported
There was an entire absence OF precipi-
t%ation, the weather being generally
clear and sunshiny.
Tie exceptionally fine weather follow
ing the prolonged cold spell, has given a
decided impetus of growth OF vegetation,
and there has been a great improve
ment in the condition Of crops through
out the State during the past seven
Gays.
Corn and potatoes, where damaged by
recent frosts, have taken another start
and are now growing rapidly. Reports
indicate that the grain and hay crops are
looking well and making satisfactory
progress. In the western districts bar
ley is heading out, and in the extreme
northern portion of the State the harvest
Of hay and grain is in operation. Early
peas are blooming in Churchill county
Fruit trees are still blooming in Elko
and Humboldt counties. In a few To-
c~alities there is a complaint of a scarcity
Of range feed, but in most districts it il
ample and stock is in fair condition.

Hampton He had no money to spare, TOT
all he had earned had gone to help sup
port the family.
How He Went to Hampton.
OF this turning point in his life let his
ovr, words tell: when I found out that
Hampton was a place where Diack poy
could study and at the same time nave d
chance to work for his board, and that In
addition to study he would be taught no"
to work, made up my mind 10 go tnere:
Telling my mother good-by, l started
out one morning to find my way
to Hampton, although I had but very
few cents in money, and did not have even
anv definite idea where Hampton was
But 1 inquired my way, and by walking,
begging rides. and paying for portion or
the tourney on the steam cars with money
earned on the road, finally reached the
city of Richmond, Va. was without
friends there and entirely without money
1 found a good dry place under plank
sidewalk and crawled in there to sleep the
first night The next day 1 found work
on a vessel where / could earn some
money. AS the job would last for sew
eral days 1 kept at work, sleeping every
night in the same place under the sloe-
walk It was a comfortable place, ana
was In that way enabled TO save the
most Of my wages to help me 10 go on.
When l reacned HdmptoI Aoo " SoAieS
left.
.At Hampton I found an opportunity Tor
classroom education and for practical
training In industrial life, opportunity to
learn thrift, economy and push. Amid
Christian influences I was surrounded by
an atmosphere of business and a spirit OF
self-help that seemed to awaken every
faculty in me and cause me for the 1rst
time TO realize what 1t meant to be man
instead of piece Of property.
Beginning His Life Work.
while I was at Hampton I resolved
that when l had finished my course or
training there I would go into the rar
South, into the Black Belt or the

dent and Mrs. Mckinley made to Tus-
kegee in their recent journey through the
South.
Does Not Know His Age.
In view of what he has accomplished
the early life of Mr. Washington and the
opportunities for education which he had
are interesting. 1t is a striking comment
ary on some of the conditions of life
which have been possible In this country
that to the very natural first question,
How old is Booker Washington" the
answer must be returned, He does not
know" He was born a slave in the State
of Virginia. in either the year 1857 or 1858.
So humble was his origin, so scant the
notice taken of the fact that one more
black boy had been born on the place"
that no special attention was given to his
birth which would accurately fill the date.
His home for those first years, near the
village OF Hales Ford. was one of those
one-room log cabins, with uncouth CHM
ney of wood and clay glued upon the end,
such as any one may even yet see in all
parts of the South. The floor of the cab
in was the hard-trodden earth, and the
walls had no windows a circumstance
which was not 80 very great account
since the door was rarely closed. and
when it was both light and air found free
passage between the logs of the walls
where the mud chinking had fallen out.
Freed From Slavery.
Mr.. washington must have been about
years old when the war closed. I have
heard him tell of that event in these
words: 1--WE knew there had been war,
and in our cabins talked about it. One
morning word was sent over the whole
place for all the hands to come up to the
big house. Standing there in the yard
in front of the porch paper was read
out loud to US, and my mother, bending
over me, whispered TO me that we were
free / was too young 10 really UNDER
stand what that meant then"
There was now the family to be proyid-
ed for, and soon after freedom was de-

clared the Washingtons migrated to West
Virginia, where work in the coal mines
offered employment and money wages
The journey over the mountains wa.
made in rude cart. The determination
to rise in life, which then could have only
been an instinct, was already stirring the
soul of the boy, and finding that life in
the mines gave no opportunity for ad-
vancement Booker looked for other EN-
ployment. He was so fortunate as to be
hired to work in the Kitchen and run err
rands for a New England woman of un-
usual intelligence and great force of
character, who was married to South
ern gentleman. and Mr. Washington has
always felt that to her training and ex-
ample he owes much of his success in
life This lady. Mrs. Viola Ruffner, is
still living, though at an advanced age.
at the time I write. Her home now is in
Charleston, s. c.. with her son, Major E.
H. Ruffner, of the United States army,
and l recently enjoyed the privilege Of
visiting her there. 1t was she who taught
the boy Booker to read. Speaking of him
to me she said:
Learning to Read.
"Ffe was always good boy, quiet and
determined to amount to something. He
never wasted his time, as so many Of my
help did. As soon as his work was done.
even IL it was only for a few minutes. he
would sit down in corner of the kitchen,
with the book from which I was begin
ming. TO teach him to read. Only one thing
ever made him uneasys He was never
satisfied with his work unless he was
getting on He left me several times to
try different things; once I remember
working on a steamboat, but he always
came back to me, until he finally started
for Hampton
When young Washington was IA years
old the reputation Of General Armstrong;
great work at Hampton penetrated to the
West Virginia mountains. TO hear OF this
was to realize at once that this was a
means for getting on" It was not a
question of whether he should go. .or
when, but of how quick ha could reanis,
