The Absent-Mindsd BOY.

An absent-minded youth was Johnny
Jones.
He oft forgot twas time to eat his meals.
He was so very queer in all his ways,
The neighbors thought he surely must
have wheels.
One day (it was the Fourth day Of july
He found a cannon cracker in the road,
And so he struck match and lit the fuse
To see if he could make the thing ex-
plode.
Then suddenly he thought of something
else
And forgot to lay the cannon cracker
down.
When Johnny's well again, 'tis hoped he'll
be
As wide awake as any boy in town.

EccENTRicITiES OF GENIUS.
Henry Ward Beecher's Manner Of Doing Good
and Coils huntinston's Opinion Of II.

In his Eccentricities of Genius"
Major Pond says that often while
travelling Henry Ward Beecher i'm
proved his time by having what he
called "a general hOuse.cleaning" of
his pockets, which would get loaded
up with letters and papers until they
could hold no more, when he would
clear them out and destroy such
papers as we're worthless. On one
occasion Beecher happened to put his
hand in his watch. pocket of his panta-
looms and found there little envelope
which he opened. When he saw its
contents, he called Major Pond to sit
beside him, and I remarked: "You
remember the evening I married c. P.
Huntington. I was so much interest
ed in the subject that 1 forgot he
handed me little envelope as he
went out OF the door. l put it in the
watchpocket of my pantaloons and
never thought of it again until just
now, and here it fs-four one.thousand-
dollar bills. Now" he said, "don't
tell any one about it, and we will have
a good time and make some happiness
with this money. We will just con-
slider that we found it," And SO, in q
day or two, Mr.. Beccher went with
Major Pond to look at cargo of fine
Oriental rugs. many of which he pur-
chased and sent to different friends,
and afterward he spent what remained
Of the money for coin. silver lamps,
unmounted gems, and various pieces
OF bric-a-brac, all of which he gave
away, until he had used up the entire
four thousand dollars, Gin making
happiness among those whom he
loved" After Mr.. Beecher's death
the Major related to Mr.. Huntington
the incident of this discovery of the
four thousand dollar bills, and the
railway magnate observed: al should
never have given them to him. It
was all wrong. I made a mistake.
Money never did him any good"

moss. But he doesn't paint the picture
of the man whose tongue is parched
with fever, who tumbles and losses in
his hot room and narrow bed while the
bacilli of the bucket and the we'll are
striving for his life. That wouldn't be
a poetic theme, and he has nothing to
do with a theme that is not poetic
AS a matter of fact the old we'll and
its familiar bucket have been the means
of diseasing whole neighborhoods. The
microbe is everywhere, and the easiest
vehicle for its introduction into the body
is perhaps the water we drink. We
can't keep the microbe out. We can
prevent its harInfulness.
THE DANGER OF DISEASE
does not lie in the strength of the
microbe but in the weakness of the
body When the blood is impure the
microbe has a vantage ground from
which to operate. When the blood is
pure disease fails to find a breeding
ground, and the microbe strives in vain
against the man: Nobody can be healthy
when the blood is impure. faint the
blood and every organ fed and nourished
by blood must share the faint. Keep
the blood pure and plentiful and the
body is made strong to resist the assaults
of disease.

Loadstone Extraordinary.

A deep hole of water in Nolynn
creek, 10 miles south of Bardstown,
KY, has for some time been attracting
attracting attention by reason of the
fact that it has very strong suction.
For years it has been known as "the
suck hole" 1t is about 10 feet deep
and about SO yards long. The water
is clear and bottom can easily be seen.
1t now develops that it is no "suck
hole" but in the bottom of the river
it is claimed there is a streak OF pow.
erful loadstone.
1t was discovered that the river bot
tom is solid rock and that through
the center of the rock, running length.
wise, is black streak. It is about
five inches in width and runs the
length of'the hole. This streak was
examined with q common fish gig and
was found to be very hard. The gig
adhered to the stone and it took nc
little pulling to extricate it. Further
investigation was made, and it is said
the streak following the bottom oil
the river is undoubtedly powerful load.
stone.
This hole was discovered over 4C
years ago by Enoch Atteberry, who
came near losing his life in the water
having been rescued by two men, who
pulled him out by means of q long
pole. Lum Wess and Luther Trulock
also came near losing their lives in the
hole short time ago while SEEMING.
They were rescued half-drowned BY
other members of the party. The at.
traction was so powerful toward a
chain on the bottom of the seine that
the seiners had to abandon it. A dog
thrown into the water never comes
out, but is quickly drawn to the bot.
tom. When trout line is stretched
across the place the unseen energy at.
tracts the hooks to the black streak
and there holds them securely until
they are drawn out. At times
there is a strong undercurrent in the
boyou, which is unaccounted for, and
which often sweeps the bottom clean,
relieving the loadstone of its collec-
ton.
The locality of the suck hole is get
ting to be much dreaded one, especi-
ally by the superstitious. 1t is known
to all negroes as the death Hole"
and farmers in that section find it diff.
ficult to employ negro help. Many
cattle and hogs have been lost.

Washington lakes That Rank Among Wheat
Producing States.

Producing States.
The recent issue OF the Crop R.port-
or contains some rather interesting
data concerning the wheat crop OF
1909. ~ apportioned among the sew
eral States, with similar data relative
to the corn and oat crops for the
same ear. The report shows that the
wheat crop OF 800 amounted to 90,
90 bushels, the oat crop, 500, 49,.
$50 bushels, and the corn crop 2,l05,-
TO-, 5lG bushels.
In last years production Kansas was
the first wheat-producing State, her
crop amounting to S2,iSS,Gj5 bushels,
while Minnesota, with IL ,j09, 252
bushels, took second place. The
other leading States, with their
wheat product, took rank in the fol-
lowing order: California, 2S,5l3,62S
bushels, third; Washington, 25,096,-
6Gl bushels, fourth; Nebraska, o.

Oregon. 15,19S,Ol2 bushels, thirteenth,
and SO on Idaho occupying 2Sth
place with 3,1O4 800 bushels.
Another interesting table shows the
aggregate wheat output for the past
ten years. According to this table,
the crop of 1898 was greatly in excess
OF that of any other year in the past
decade, when the aggregate reached
CTS ,7O5 bushels. The second rank
ing year was 1891, when the output
was Gil 100000 bushels. The crop of
1900 was of comparatively high
average, although not up to that of
1899, which was 547 1903, SAG bushels.
The low water mark, as we'll remem-
bered, was in 1898, when the total out
put Of the entire country was but
236,132, 900 bushels.
While Kansas is the leading State in
wheat product, Iowa takes first place
in the production of corn, her crop for
1900 aggregating 305,S59,94S bushels,
with Illinois second in line, her pro-
duct being 264,176,226 bushels. In
turn Illinois takes first place in the
production of oats, her output for the
past year being 133,G42,SS4 bushels.
Iowa is the only State coming any
where near that product, with $780,
1913 bushels. Wisconsin was the
third oat-producing State, having in
1900 but 81, 81 ,552 bushels.
