HIS BROTHERS WIFE NOUCIIES
For H.-Mr. Jack Ballcw, of Spartan
burg, says the Herald, has just return
cd from visit to his brother in Laurens
County. lie lives at Lisbon, and he
tells Il remarkable story concerning
three hound dogs that his brother
owns. Mr.. Ballcw named one of these
dogs William Jennings Bryan, another
William Mckinley and the third Thco-
dorc Roosevelt. They were said to be
unusually fine dogs, and Mr.. Ballcw
had bright anticipations of excellent
sport with them. But on the day that
Bryan was defeated the dog named
Bryan disappeared and has not since
been heard Of, on the very day that
President Mckinley was assassinatcd
the dog named Mckinley disappeared,
and few days later was found dead
in Mr.. Tcaguc's bottom. MIR. Ballcw
has only the Roosevelt dog left and
says that if anything should happen to
the new president he feels confident
that he would be doglcss. "Jack''
says that he not only has his brothers
word for the truth of this story, but
his brothers wife FOuchcs for it and
he knows that She is Truthful.

GREAT WHEAT CROP.
Railway Managers Es timate That the
Yield for Year Will He Enormous,

After making a careful canvass of the
Northwest territory and preparing con
servatiye estimates upon the conditions
found throughout the grain belt, the
traffic officials of the st. Paul, North
western, Northern Pacific. Great North
ern and Burlington systems are agreed
that the wheat crop of this region for
1901 will break all previous records.
According to the estimates of these
officials. it is claimed that the two Da-
kotas and Minnesota alone will harvest
between 1s5,000,000 and 200,o00,000
bushels of wheat, against 100000,o00
bushels last year. The greatest preyi-
GUS yield of wheat in three States named
was in 1898 when 173.000,000 bushels
were harvested.
The Record Herald, in explanation Of
the enormous crop, says:
1.-The crop cannot be termed a
bumper crop, as the enormous increase
is due largely to the fact that the yari-
Gus railroad companies have within the
last two years made extreme efforts to-
ward the colonizing Of the Northwest ter
ritory. and as a result extensive add
ton have been made TO the total cult
waited lands and grain acreage.

bucket of water per week for both
drinking and washing purposes, attests
his lineal descent from the Welsh peas
