ProsperifY of the Farmer.

Encouraging reports continue to
come from the different agricultural
states in regard to the condition of
crops. Kansas in particular is rejoic-
ing over the third large wheat har-
vest in three successive years. These
favorable reports are of Importance
not to the individual states alone, but
to the entire country, for the real pros
perity of a country is at bottom de-
pendent on the products of the soil.
Successive good harvests have placed
the farmer on higher level, and pros
perity has led to greater prosperity.
This year he will have more ready
money than at any time in the his
tory of the west. His investments In
self-binders and traction engines,
thrashers and separators have proved
profitable. His work is more agree
able, is attended with less anxiety and
is more productive. In the farmers
home affairs are much more satisfac-
tory than formerly.-St. Louis Globe

the marriage was solemnized in 1879
it was one of the most brilliant society
events Cincinnati had ever witnessed
The young couple removed almost i'm
mediately to Paris, where they took
apartments at IA Rue Pierre Charlton.
Deacon was immensely wealthy and
spent money lavishly. His home soon
became the center of attraction for the
American colony in Paris, and for ten
years he was known as one of the
most liberal of entertainers. During
that time four children were born to
the couple. Deacon, however, tired o.
society, while his pretty wife fairly
reveled in it. She soon drew around
her circle of male admirers, whose
adulation seemed to turn her head
Among them was Emile Abielle, a
Frenchman, whom Deacon killed in his
wife's apartments in a hotel at Cannes,
France, in 1892.

nr. C6O01eS EOOIGSb Hope.
Ambassador Choate, at the Fourth
of July dinner in London, expressed
the hope that Americas present pros
perity would produce young men who
would not need to work for a living,
and therefore could devote themselves
entirely to the public service. In other
words, Mr.. Choate took the ground
that the future of this nation could
be worked out best by a leisure class
The theory that men born to riches
and leisure make the best public ser
wants is a pretty one, but at most it is
only a theory That a prince of the
blood must prove bad general has
been a truism in European warfare
for more than 200 years. That the
highest European aristocracy furnishes
the worst cabinet ministers and am
bassadors has been self-evident for an
equal length of time. The weakness
of a leisure class as public servants is
two fold. Its members do not feel the
spur of material necessity to urge them
on to achievement Having seldom had
the discipline of obedience, they are
unfit to command. When a nation
nowadays comes to depend upon its
men of inherited wealth or rank for
guides. it is indeed a case of the blind
following the blind. In nine cases out
of ten both fail into the ditch.-Chica-
