 The vice president spoke feelingly of President Mckinley and then said of Adelbert s. Hay:
 "Of all the young men of the United States of his age, he had done more than any other and in circumstances which would have taxed much older man."
 He also spoke of the distinctive work of President Eliot in making the uni versity thoroughly national and demo- cratic. Edward H. Warren 95, closed the speech making with short toast.

The Prayer Before Gettysbur0.
General Daniel Sickles told q story
Illustrating the tenderness Of President
Lncoln's heart as well as his faith In
Providence and his beautiful optimism.
After Sickles had been wounded at
Gettysburg he was removed to Wash
ington, and the president called on him
at the hospital. When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter. Lincoln wept like O child
"While the two armies were converg-
ing said Lincoln, II went into my
room and prayed as never prayed be-
fore. / told God that II we were to
win the battle he must do II, for had
done all that l could. went from my
room with great load lifted from my
shoulders, and from that moment I
never had doubt as to the result. We
shall hear good news from Grant, who
has been pounding away at Vicksburg
for 30 many months. l am In pro-
phetic mood today, Sickles, and I say
that you will get well"
"The doctors do not say 500
II don't care, Sickles, you will get
WE'LL" persisted the president
And that afternoon, General Sickles
goes on to say. telegram was receiv-
ed from General Grant announcing the
fall Of Vicksburg. His own recovery
soon followed.

posfnU aa q Model,

A curious feature Of models occu
patton is her posing for IN artist wbt
is painting some one else. Wealthy
people are capricious and often DO moi
care to give long slttinGs. Therefore
after the artist has caught the expires
sion Of the face, he will call In mode
to pose for the figure. Some models
do not care to do this, ms part OF thcll
enjoyment of their occupation consists
In seeing themselves reproduced OF
canvas, but there are others who Ore
quite willing to help fill out
Various models have various point:

ress Of his work from three to fou
models for one figure on his canvas
One model Is known for her coloring
another for her hands, another for he

s1ntrimony In Gilbert islands.

Women OF the Gilbert islands being
merely regarded as cattle or any other
property, writes Arthur Inkersley In
The Overland Monthly, the matrimoni-
al knot Is easily tied and just rs easily
united. II man fancies a girl. he
seizes her BY the hair Of the head,
wherever she may be, despite her pro-
tcstations. and drags her away to his
home. Her resistance is not often seri-
GUS, the pretense Of refusal being Que
to the coquettishness inherent In the
sex. When the couple reach the house
of the groom. a wedding feast Is fur
nished forthwith, to which all the I'm
mediate friends Of the bride and bride
groom are invited. But an acceptance
of the invitation implies the contribu'
ton OF some viands to the entertain
ment. Matrimony Is attended by no
further ceremony than this. When q
husband grows weary OF his wife, DC
simply orders her to leave him. ana II
she does not he turns her out OF doors

ABANDONED FARMS.

In these young days of the new century
it is conceded by all that agriculture has
ceased to be solely career of manual
labor, and is now considered profes-
sion, might add the profession, for
what calling in life demands so much?
Does the law, medicine or ministry ask
for practical knowledge of all things
pertaining to its own branch? A scien-
tifc knowledge, embracing chemistry,
botany and geology, executive ability
second to none, and added to all these
attainments shrewd, practical, COM
mon sense?
And yet the farmer must possess all
these and more. Great have been the
strides in the tools and in the ways of
agriculture, and all the improvements
have been accepted and the old ways
forgotten.
All save one, and that is the old story
of abandoned farms. Do we wish to 60
back to the days of the scythe, the pitch
fork and the hand rake? If so we would
be content to live where they alone could
be used. Our forefathers used these
tools and expected no others, but if we
could not be satisfied with these, could
our ancestors settled?
| speak from small horizon, and yet
| it seems to me what is true of one coun-
| ty in the state may be true of others. L
know of no farm that can be called
abandoned that is fit to be called farm.
with all the improvements of this en-
lightened age, life is too short to try to
cultivate land only suitable for sheep to
roam over.
The late Austin Corbin helped solve
this great question in very substantial
manner for the owners of those rocky,
mountainous farms, and while the hills
of New Hampshire make fine adopted
home for the buffalo, the deer and the
elk, they are needed for our domestic
animals, and the farmers of New Eng.
land are beginning to realize that the
West cannot produce all the beef, NUT
ton and pork to supply the markets OF
the world.
Abandoned farms will sink into obliv'
ion with the farm tools of the past, an6
our sleek cattle and sheep will find 8
summer home where once man tried tC
live, and in winter they will be housed
near the homes of the progressive farm
ers who thoroughly understand the ad
vantages of schools and libraries ant
social intercourse, at the same time keep
ing an eye open for all so-called aban
doned farms and adding to the pasture
and the woodland whenever an OppOr
tunity presents itself.-Fannie Bee che

fists evidently predominated, notwith.
standing the fact of the Congregational
lists being the first, by few months, to
complete a church organization; even
then they organized with only six mem.
bers and there were no accessions for
nearly two years. Records of the Bap-
tist church at Craigie's Mills are missing,
said to have been burned in the meet
ing house, therefore no list OF members
can be given, but the article quoted,
above, concludes with an account of the
organization of the church, as follows:
"Same day September 10th, 1s26,) in
the same place, was organized the Sec
ond Baptist Church in Hebron, Of seven
teen members, chiefly from the church
in Paris and the first in Hebron. Elder
Nathaniel Chase prayed on the occasion.
The individuals proposing to unite in
church order, were arranged hand IN
hand in front of the pulpit, and in that
position received the Right Hand, pre-
sented by Elder John Tripp of the first
church in Hebron, in token of the Fellow
ship of sister churches. Elder John
Haines then delivered an affectionate
address, suitable to the circumstances.
Immediately after, Brother Cyrus Shaw,
according to previous arrangement, was
chosen and set apart to the office OF
Deacon by laying on of hands and pray
or.
"The whole service was interesting, and
we are encouraged to hope that, as the
God of Mercy is bestowing on this little,
loving band, outward favors, so he will
abundantly satisfy them with the fat
ness of his house and drink of the river
of his pleasure. ,r
1t is not to be inferred that public
worship was wholly neglected at
Craigie's Mills prior to the organization
of the churches, for the school house
was always at the disposal of itinerant
preachers and visiting ministers often

The new school house was built OF

WHEAT OUTLOOK BRILLIANT, CORN
EAlR


July reports from our country CORE.
spondents show that June was an Ideal
period for winter wheat, and the general
average of condition is OLA against 9O.S
last month and 1865 last year. While a
considerable part of the crop was har-
vested on July the condition now re-
ported refers, of course, to the promise
of the crop at date of the harvest.
Threshing returns so far rs available
show heavy yields and exceptional quail
ity. One of the most interesting features
of the crop history of the year is the fail
ure of the IIessian fly to materially re-
duce the crop result. The present condi
ton of the spring wheat crop is very little
short of perfection in the most important
districts. The present condition for the
whole spring wheat belt is reported n
OF. 7, against 962 a month ago and %.
last year. Judging by past records, the
present wheat condition may be fairly
taken as suggesting, subject to the pos
sibility of material later modification o

The game of counterfeiting IN this
country Is played by people OF all ma
tionallties, and, although some women
and children are used as tools, men
take the principal parts. After having
made the coin the great problem Is how
to convert It into good money. The
maker rarely takes part IN that opera
ton. 1t Is the business Of gangs, which
consist usually OF two persons, known
as the holder and the 'shoveH.'
The holder carries stock Ut the

one piece. This he takes TO store or 0
saloon and buys something for II small
amount and when he comes into the
street the holder sees him from his po-
