farm, on the bank Of the west fork OF

MANY of the papers in and out of
the state are saying that there was
something wrong with the way that

stop with mere investigation. The
guilty should be made to suffer 1t is

JOHN SHAY is very clever letter
writer and he has surprised everyone
by the way in which he tells his ex-
perience. He makes it very vivid and
one can see the events that he de-
scribes. The position of the forty six
men who were holding several hun
dred insurgents at bay was an ex-
tremely perilous one and the men can
be pardoned if they are trife ner-
vous. They couldn't Sleep well but
few people would care about trying to
sleep very soundly under the circum-
stances.

AT the close of this month Mr..
Somehow will retire from the man
agement Of the opera house. He has
had charge of the place since it was
opened five years ago and has done
a remarkable amount of work for no
pay and little thanks. 1t is unnec-
essary to say that the entertainments
have been of the cleanest variety and
of the class that would have been
selected by the fastidious. The work
has been done in the face of great
difficulties and at continuous loss
to the lessees. The question of max
ing the place profitable is serious
problem. OF course the people here
would not aeree to have the house
closed and it is matter of gratifi-
cation that a young man with the
courage to undertake the job of
leasing it has been found.

A Song About a Man.

Il will sing you song about a
man. said the minstrel. by the
way did you ever notice that there
never was a song written about a
man2 All songs are about roses and
maidens and love and trysting places
and sunsets and mothers, never one
about the old man. Come to think
about it though, there was one,
Father, Dear Father Come Home
with Me Now In this song the old
man is drunk in the first verse.

Grass.

Grass Is the forgiveness OF nature
her constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the .ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and car
mage is forgotten. Streets abandoned
by traffic become grass-grown like
rural lanes, and are obliterated. For
ests decay. harvests perish, flowers
vanish, but grass is immortal. Be
leaguered by the sullen hosts of win
ter, it withdraws into the impregnable
fortress of its subterranean vitality,
and emerges upon the first solicitation
of spring. Sown by the winds, by wan
dering birds, propagated By the subtle
horticulture of the elements which are
it's ministers and servants, 1t softens
the rude outline of the world. It's tena-
cious fbers hold the earth in its place
and prevent its soluble components
from washing into the wasting sea. 1t
invades the solitude Of deserts, climbs
the inaccessible slopes and fcrbidding
pinnacles of mountains. modities eli
mates, and determines the history,
character and destiny of nations. I'M
obtrusive and patient, it has immortal
vigor and aggression. Banished from
the thoroughfare and the field, it bides
its time to return, and when vigilance
is relaxed, or the dynasty has perishsd
it silently resumes the throne from
which it has been expelled, but which
II never apdicates. 1t bears no blaz-
onry Of bloom to charm the senses with
fragrance or splendor, but its homely
hue is more enchanting than the lily
or the rose. It Yields no fruit in earth
or air, and yet should its harvest fail
for a single year, famine would depop-
ulate the world-John ]. ingalls,.

Apart from the trouble the Japanese
have with fermenting rice, their staple

at least once a day. During a cam
paign like that which is now being
conducted In the province Of Chill. II
is not always easy to prepare hot baths
every morning for 10000 men. The

Hog Houses.

In the building of hog houses, II
such houses are to be ideal, number
of important points must be taken
into consideration. A writer on the
subject Of hog houses rightly says:
There is one point that is commonly
lost sight of in hog growing, and that
is that he is en- animal to which sun
shine is just as essential as it is to
the corn plant. Neither corn nor pork
can be produced successfully without
plenty Of sunshine. In the building
Of the hog house have it constructed
in such a way that the sun will shine
into it on the south and reach to the
back of the pen and on the beds OF the
pigs" The house should be arranged
on the inside SO that there will be
free circulation of air between the
pens. This is especially necessary in
warm weather The drainage should
be such that the floor Of the house
will be always dry. The arrangements
for removing the manure should be so
perfect that it can be kept out OF the
way Of the hogs at all times. The
pens in the house should be construct
ed with the idea of often needing to
change pigs from one pen to another.
To accomplish some of these things it
will be necessary to have much Of the
inside arrangement made movable.
Swinging gates can be used to ad-
vantage.

The Grape Crop OF France.

a newspaper correspondent writing
from Mines. France, under date of
Aug. 22d. said:
The annual wine sale which took
place in this city yesterday brought
together a large number Of wine-grow-
ers and dealers. The prices were lower
than at any time during the last thir-
ty years. It is reported that wine has
been offered during the last three
weeks at as low as 81 per barrel. Large
sales were made yesterday at $3.50,
So ana So per barrel Of 11G quarts. The
vines are weighed down with luscious
fruit that is fast taking the last pur-
pie tinge and swelling to bursting un-
der the sun. One grape-grower brought
in small vine yesterday to which
hung ninety-fve lunches Of grapes,
and this little overloaded branch OF
green and purple was a fair specimen
Of the average Vineyard Of today. The
wine men in this section Of France
have but one cause for anxiety, and
that is to find barrels in which to
house the purple food.

Yields Of Whean

That the average yield per acre OF
our wheat can be doubled under proper
methods is demonstrated by the re-
ports that we are constantly receiv-
ing from the agricultural colleges and
the experiment stations. The average
yield of wheat in the country at large
is only about 1S bushels per acre, yet
in some of our states where, because
of deficient rainfall, the conditions for
growing wheat are not of the best,
the yields are far in excess Of the
average for the country. We notice
that even in Oklahoma the yields as
reported at the station are such that
wheat raising is highly profitable.
Yields Of from % to sc bushels to the
acre are given as the results Of their
various experiments in handling the
land for the wheat crop. What Is
done on a small scale can be quite gen.
orally done on a larger scale, and
there is no good reason why the best
methods should not be widely applied.

NE VS. AND VIE 01,S.
TsOo More EsIands.

A Spanish American convention has
been signed in Washington, by which
two small islands, bearing the rameS
Of Cagayen and Cibotu, are ceded 70
the United States by Spain for $780,
600. These Islands lie at the southern
and hottest extremity Of the arehipei-
ago, being the tail end Of the Sulu
group. Cagayen lies in The passage
from the China sea into the sulu sen.
and Cibotu liez between the Sulu ami
Celebes seas. Both properly belong to
the Philippine archipelago and were
supposed to be ceded to the United
States By the Paris treaty. But the
limits OF the cession were designated
by geographical lines and two little
islands were afterward found to lie
outside the boundary named in the
treaty, though believed, owing to their
position being given Incorrectly on the
maps, to be within them. They were
of no use to Spain, but that govern
ment had the right to demand an extra
compensation before turning them
over to the United States For this
reason the full price OF the archipel-
ago in money may now be said to have
been 0,100 900. The mistake OF the
commissioners has cost the extra
amount, but the government has acted
wisely in purchasing the stray islands
and keeping the archipelago intact.
