control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause Of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment Of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.

Where is the HypoCrlte.

A drunken man staggered into
church one Sunday and sat down in
the pew of one of the deacons. The
preacher was discoursing about pre-,
valent popular vices. Soon he ex-
claimed: "Where is the drunkard 2
The drunken man was just far

the drunkard's character and fate
were eloquentIy portrayed, A few
minutes later the preacher reached
another head of his discourse and
asked: "Where is the hypocrite 2"
Gently nudging his neighbor, the
drunkard said in an audible whis per
"Stand up, deacon, he means you
this time. Stand, up and take it like
a man, just as I stand. 1t will do
you good"

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Mans Observation for a
Week.

The week has been a cool one, with
the temperatures on the morning o.
the 26th approaching the point at
which frosts are possible. There have
been very light rains in the North
west and in the extreme Southeast on
several days, and rains in the southern
half Of the state on the 24th and the
morning of the 25th which were very
heavy locally, flooding low lands in
Brown, Blue Earth, LeSueur and
Waseca counties. These rains were
beneficial in the Southwest where
rain has been needed for about two
weeks. It is said that in the Red
River valley late sown grains are do
ing very we'll, though many fields are
very weedy, but that some Of the
early wheat seems to need warmer
weather. In other parts Of the state
wheat, oats and barley are generally
in splendid condition, though in
small are. On light land the straw Of
wheat and oats is rather short. In
central southern, and southwestern
counties some rust is reported in the
wheat. Where the'April dust storms
were most severe, grain fields have a
very uneven stand; some are very
thin and some too thick. The early
barley is generally we'll in head, and
wheat and oats are coming into head. |
Much of the early flax is very good,
and it is in bloom. Rye is nearing
ripeness, and it will be cut soon after
July 4th. Corn is small, it's growth |
being slow because of the cool |
weather. The wild hay is heavy |
except in parts of the Southwest.
Timothy and clover are also heavy;
considerable clover is already cut,
though the weather has not been
favorable for curing hay. Timothy is
about ready to cut Potatoes are
good in most places, though few OF
the early crop Ill Anoka county are
SAID to be spindling. Corn and pota
Toes are well cultivated. Strawberries
are ripening slowly. The frost on the
morning Of the 2lst caused some
injury to flax, corn, potatoes and
gardens in the Southwest, and in
north central portions.

A Fish story.

At ''welcome home" supper, Civ
en- by the y. P. Club Of London to
Charles Hawtrey, upon his return
from America, the guest related some
"tall stories," which he had brought
with him from cover yonder," One of
| them concerned a great fire which
occurred at huge rubber factory in
New York-a building some p stor-
les high. On the topmost floor was
busy worker so intent upon his toll
that the flames leaped almost to his
room before be relied his position.
But his alertness saved him. Wrap
ping himself round from head to loot
in rubber, he, to the horror Of the
spectators in the street, threw him
self out of the window. But upon
reaching the pavement he rebounded
to the altitude from which he had de-
cended. Again be come down, and up
he went once more. This went on for
about two days and nights, and might
have continued indefinitely but for
the fact that solicitous policeman,
fearing that the man would starve to
death, took aim at him with his re-
volver and shot him. And Mr.. |
Hawtrey unblushingly added that d
controversy ragged in New York as to
that policeman was justified |
or not in shooting the man.

How Ii Happened.

An ambitious citizen of Pennsyl-
vanla, who rather indlscreetly had
set himself up as a candidate for
some political office, after the election
vas found to have received bus one
vote, says the Buffalo Inquirer.
The candidates modification was
extreme, and, to increase his chagrin,
all his neighbors talked as if it we're
matter of course that he had cast
that one ballot himself. This annoyed
him so much that he finally offered a
suit of clothes to be worth not less
then $50, to the lone voter if be
would declare himself,
A Dutchman responded to his ap-
peal, proved his claim and called for
the reward.
Chow did it happen that you voted
for me?"
"Ef I told you, you don't go back
on dem clo'es?"
"Oh, no; you shall have the cloths,
anyhow"
"Vell, dan, I dels you. I make a
mishtake in de teecket."
