CROP CONDITIONS.
Good Rains Come and outlook is Very
Bright.

rhe Wisconsin weekly crop bulletin
states that the average temperature
for the week ending May % was slight
ly below normal, ranging from 63 de-
grees over the southwestern counties
to As degrees along Lake Superior. Tho
week opened decidedly warm, the tenn
perature on Tuesday being generally
above so degrees, but during the after
noon a rapid fall occurred and cool
weather prevailed for the remainder of
the week. Light frosts occurred over
the northwestern counties on Thurs
day night, the temperature at Grants
burg being as low as 81 degrees. Lib
eral rains occurred generally in all parts
of the state. except in the extreme
northwestern counties, where the
drought is becoming serious. Along
the western border Of the state, from
the Chippewa river southwark, the
total rainfall for the week ranged from
one to two inches. while over The
southern and eastern counties the rain
orally sufficient for present needs. The
week was generally favorable for farm
work although too cold for vegetation
to make rapid progress. Corn plant
ing has progressed rapidly and is now
nearly completed in the southern
counties Early paintings have ger
minated WELL but warm weather is
needed for later paintings. The soil is
in good condition, but too cold for best
results Winter wheat and rye have
made good progress. Rye is beginning
to head out and gives promise OF a
good crop. The cold weather has re-
tarted the growth of oats and barley,
but the plants are generally in healthy
condition. In some localities barley is
reported to have been slightly injured
by the frosts, but the damage is not
considered serious. rhe cold weather
has not been favorable for the growth
of grass and pastures, and in the north
western counties, where the rainfall
has been deficient, they are reported to
| be in vry poor condition. The prospect
for an abundant crop of fruit of all
kinds is very encouraging. Apple and
| plum trees are loaded with blossoms,
and with good weather large crops are
assured. Small fruits give promise OF
excellent crops

FIRST BIRD OF SPRING.


Say little stranger, how did you know
Our winter was gone, with its frost and
its snow?
mat the day had grown lovely. so
warm and SO bright,
And the harsh wintry winds had take,
their flight?
Bright little creature tell me, pray.
Did some soft-breathing zephyr pause
on its way
And tell you your beautiful pIumage to
bring
AND come with your smooth breast and
bright glossy wing?
Did the wood nymphs and fairies whis-
per to you
Our breezes were softer, our skies more
blue?
That the lovely spring beauties were
lifting their heads
And opening their eyes in their damp.
messy beds?
l greet you, greet you, blithe, bonny
thing;
l knew you would be here to brighten
the spring.
For gone is the winter, the frost aud
the snow.
But tell me. o tell me. how did vou
know?

and the music came Ginning softly
over the water; but to the beautiful

upon the grass, it seemed as though
all peace, all hope, all tranquility
were Of the past. She who had been
sailing on smooth sea was now be-

terrible tragedy of her life was begin

rest and sweet repose. She trembled
at the prospect; she turned coward
and would fain have died.

No, ma am" sheepishly answered
poor Peckaby. Il am Paul Peckaby.
And that's Mr. Courtenay coming
down the hill"
Mamie Herbert turned her eyes in
the direction indicated by Mr.. Peck

another gray overcoat, and another
pair of long mustaches.

Peckaby.

GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART.

In the dusk of the Swallowed garden
The listening flowers are still;
The wind Is asleep in the meadows,
And softly croons the rill
A song of love and longing,
OF dreamland fair and bright,
And it seems to sigh, as it ripples by,
Good night, sweetheart; good
night"
Wherever you fare tomorrow,
Whether by land or sea,
The stars watch over you, love,
AS they look down on me.
They will shine in the midnight

With the same unchanging light
We used to know in the long ago
Good night, sweetheart; good
night"

Good night, sweetheart; good

Mistaken Identity.


1t was Mamie Herbert's Easter Vaca-
ton Even a drudging governess in a
school, where every one seemed to
think she was made of adamant or cast
iron, has an interval of leisure once in
awhile. 1t was just a year since Nan
MES twin sister who had also been in
a school, had been taken out of it by
the blessed interposition of Cupid.
Rosie Herbert was very pretty.
Charles Courtenay, whose eldest sister
was being educated under the care of
Nine. Briccoli, went to one of the ex-
after the good old first sight" fashion,
and married her before she had time to
consider whether it was true or only
dream. They had taken a little fur
nished cottage at Wicklefeld, just big
enough for themselves, pair of scarlet
love birds ana 4 blue-ribbOned poodle,
and they had written a joint letter to
Mamie. entreating that she would

In the little furnished cottage next
door, divided from them only by gar
dep hedge, dweit a second married pair,
Mr.. and Mrs Peckaby, but they were
by no means after the turtle-dove
style. The first gloss had worn off
their honeymoon some years ago.
Peckaby was handsome and hen
pecked. Mrs. Peckaby was very plain
and very jealous and engaged the
homeliest madservants.
Shall we call on those young people
who have taken the next house, asked
Mr. Peckaby of his wife.
What should we call on them for?"
retorted Mrs, peckaby irritaby.
"Oh, nothing that know Of" said
Peckaby, feeling at once that he had
been snubbed; only they seem to be
nice folks enough, and she is very
pretty
Pretty" retorted Mrs. Peckaby,
acidly Il never did fancy that wax
doll style of face, and it fairly makes
me sick to see that girl hanging on her
husbands arm and simperipg mn into
his face"
Rosie Courterav wrote her sister =

neighborhood in the letter that reached
Mamie just before the school vacation,
ending after this wise:

will greet him exactly like a brother.

And so, upon this bleak March even
ing, with large flakes of snow drilling
through the air and the treetops bend
ing nearly double in the gale Mamie
Herbert stepped out upon the platform
of the Wiclledeld station, pulling aside
her veil and glancng eagerly up and
down for some one who was very hand
