Hoard of Trade Gossip.
I think many country merchants place
too much reliance upon the gossip they
near emanating from the various boards
OF trade. Much OF the gossip circulating

or short of the market, thus causing their
Judgment to be absolutely worthless, or
II not by men thus personally Interested

what to do, but have never done any
thing themselves.

rived on the late trains yesterday.
Still the attendance is nothing like
what was locke for. While the con-
gress can be classed q failure as to
attendance 1t Is a perfect success as re-
CARDS program. Those in attendance
who have been regular attendants In
the past claim hat the addresses and
papers are the best ever heard in a con-
gress.
There has been some disappointment
by those oil the program falling to APP
pear, but their places have been ably
filled by such men as ex-Secretay or
Agriculture j.. Sterling Morton of Ne
braska, Colonel Mickey of Louisiana,
Colonel Clayton Of Iowa and ex-Gov-

a business gathering. There was but
one address on the program inc that
was by DR.. +. Benjamin Andrews,
chancellor of the University OF Me-
braska, who had for his subject The
Farmstead Beautiful" This was a
most interesting talk and was listened
to with much attention on the part OF
the audience. After this address there
was a public reception, which was par
tcipated In by the delegates, Visitors
and a large numbe of Sioux rams peo-
pie.
This morning there were two ad-
dresses. one by Leonard Pearson, state
veterinarian of Pennsylvania, on state

other by Professor Heston or the
Rrookings agricultural college on The
Farmers Opportunity" Owing TO the
prevalence at different points In TINS
state at the present time OF contagious
diseases among horses the FORMER ad-
dress was of more than passing inter
est to the South Dakotans present. he
argued for an inronclad control by
state authorities OF all contagious dis
eases. Professor Heston pointed OUT
to his hearers what he thought were
their golden opportunities, CHER OF
which was proper attention to every
thing pertaining TO h farm.
Professor ii. w. Campbell OF Kan

ana are on the program for this after
noon, but as neither Is present their

A social worker who has had occa-

his belief hat the person who invent

tice with these In warm
weather, said the agent, to use the
power In their machines to fan them
selves. This they accomplish by ty-
ing pieces OF stiff cardboard to the

as they work the pedal with their feet,
the cardboard on the wheel cuts tho

An old-time Philadelphia barber
trained dozens OF canaries TO sing
tunes, and some OF them had quite
extensive repertoires. He used to have
n little hand organ that played yam
kee Doodle" Home, Sweet Home, =
Dixie" and other familiar melodies.
With the aid OF this he would spend
hours with his birds, displaying a
patience that was little short Of mar
Vicious. Gradually the birds would ac-
qulre the various airs until they. would
sing them without the accompaniment
OF the organ. Many persons were at
tracted &c the shop by these birds, and
when a good offer was made he would
cell them. He never, however, got
