On account Of SO many dry freezes the

The farmers are delighted at the beau

gress they have made in preparing for
their spring crops. The English pea crop
is unusually small along the Rappahan-

insect that has attacked the crop for

Reporters Romancers.

Reporters are romancers. They proba-
bly, do the service for that human thirst
and hunger which the strolling minstrel
that harpist and impromptu singer of ly-
ing lyricS-did, for, the Steel-clad heroes
Of the middle ages. The MINISTRIES sang
of ladies fair and noble knights till bet
ter age demonstrated that one was
swearing brasgart and the other; was an
indolent and ignorant nonenity. Both
were vain, but vanity needed the food
that the strolling minstrel supplied. Many
people read the romances of the present
day nlinstrels-the reporters-with APP
proving wonder. The one in mind now
is that of u loyal lover, the reporter says
''fance." who gave his ''cuticle'' as
patches for his sweetheart who was
burned. The physician declares that the
beautiful girl will live to give her hand
to the brave and gallant knight In order
to graft skin to prevent suppuration or
proud flesh and to promote the quick
healing OF a new skin. physicians clip lit
tie segments of whole skin and apply it
to the exposed flesh of the patient. The
benefit to the patient is doubtful, the
pain and loss to the well person are in
significant. There is nothing strange or
heroic about the remedy till the romancer
OF the twentieth century sings OF it by
telegraph throughout the country TO
please the vanity of the would-be hero
and exploit the beauty Of the prospective
bride Other heroes read the romance
with pleasure, and often fair ladies'
dream of a ''fiance' who might get out Of
his skin by tiny bits to win their love.
1t is pretty, but not important. Except
that every age must have its romance
