stock was not much perturbed at first,
as his wife and Fox decided all ques-
tions. But as the fight waxed warm
err Comstock's exclusiveness began to
tell against him and it became neces-
sary to take the minor politicians to
him. particularly as these men were
being promised divers and sundry fat
from the crib. AS Jack Murphy ex-
pressed It:
I'm from Missouri. Show me. l
want to see the old man hisself and
hear him make his spiel"
So Comstock's library was invaded
by noisy and ill-smelling crew which
put feet on the tables and poisoned
the atmosphere with black cigar
smoke. Comstock grew rebellious.
Then Mrs. Comstock gave two or three
dinners that drew from him the only
protest he had ever made to her since

were found dead in wood near their
home They were most devoted
couple and the conclusion arrived at
was that Mrs. Holland was accident

committing suicide with the remain
ing barrel of the shotgun which he
carried. The estate was settled on the
basis of this supposition, but on APP.
peal to the courts 1t was shown that
when the bodies were found that OF
the wife was still warm, while Mr..

Mr.. ID. w. Dickinson,
Dear Sir We are receiving re-
ports from farmers regarding damage
done to wheat by the Hessian fly.
Some of these farmers state that GER
tain varieties of wheat. for example the
sort known as Dawson's Golden Chat
are comparatively tree from fly and
make a good crop where others fail
SO many of these reports come to hand
that we begin TO think that there must
be something III this idea that one va
rlety is less susceptible than another.
Will you be kind enough to tell US if
you have observed anything of this sort (?
Have any varieties of wheat proved
better than others with you in this re-
spect? If so, what are they. and are
they enough better TO warrant you us
ing them largely another year if the fly
is expected TO be troublesome? We
shall be very much pleased to learn all
that We can concerning this matter.
Yours very truly,
j. II. CoLLINGwoRD.
