mood this morning as he was standing
on the street looking over toward the
office Of Henry A. Asth0lz. Said he,
''It's strange how things come back
to a person. Looking at those steps
leading up to the Office reminds one OF
an occurrence that took place num-
ber of years ago. A man named
Hamilton published newspaper

Crop news grows steadily better as
definite information becomes available
and the loss in spring wheat states
will be less severe than earlier esti-
mates, which We're probably exagger-
assf for the purpose of speculation.
Present prices are high, and farmers
wha have reduced crops will not be

Withdraw Troops from Shanghai.
A Washington dispatch says that it
wonld not astonish diplomats here
should it develop that the foreign
Ambassadors in London have been
exchanging views relative to the
course that shall be pursued by the
other Powers to induce Great Britain
to withdraw from Shangai. In any
such exchanges, however, it is known
that Ambassador Choate is not partic-
ipating, as this Government officially
announced in its reply to the
Chinese Viceroy's appeal that the
President use his influence to induce
Great Britain to withdraw, that it
could not Interfere.
Following the example of Great
Britain, Germany is expected to land
troops at Shanghai as soon as she
can spare a detachment from the forces
which she is now collecting in the Far
Ldots AS ucT tTOOpS III SllAho a.
present are only sufficient to insure
the protection of the German settle

HYPNOTIZED THE FARMER.
A New Way TO Work an Old Game
Farmer Raseiey knows it Now.

Farmer Raseiey knows 1t Now
The gold-brick man and the farmer
still occasionally meet. but a more up
to-date method of fooling tiller OF
the soil has been tried on Hiram Rase-
ley. Il rich old farmer living near
Belvidere. He claims that he was
hypno;ized by Il sleek-looking stranger
who said he was an agent, and that
while under the influence of the magic
spell he signed two or three papers
that he believes, will turn out to be
notes which he will have to pay. The
stranger came into a field where the
farmer was gathering oats. and, being
smooth-tongued and suave. soon had
Rasely in a pliable mood.
Why" said the farmer, the
fellow just came up to me and ,Eind of
threw his hands in my face, which
made me feel SO queer that ] couldn't
help myself at all. The next thing
knew he got out some papers, and
wrote my name just where he wanted
me to. [ thought it was all in fun.
but when | came to my senses | saw
what an old fool | h23 made of my
self
The old farmer Is greatly excited
over the affair, and has taken legal
advice. He has no recollection of the
nature of the papers he signed, but
says tat he is sure that he will be
swindied somehow by the stranger.
