THE FARMERS PROSPERITY.
Nearly so Per Cent of the Worlds
Produots Raised Here.

Forty per cent of the people of the
united states are farmers, who not
only feed and clothe themselves, but
all the rest of the inhabitants, besides
exporting annually $1,000. 900, 900
worth of their products. The advant-
ages of the United States farmer
have been shown most vividly this
fall. Though many crops we're small.
er than usual. yet our farmers will
realize more than in any previous year
of our history. The prosperity of the
people. the splendid means of lake
and railway transportations. with low
freight rates, combined with rise in
value for short crops and stable prices
for full crops. means more to the
farmer than they have ever meant
before. Here, again, is the advant.
age of iversification shown. We are
not a wheat-raising country nor a
woolgrowing people, nor are we ex.
clusively devoted to corn or cotton,
hay or oats. A damage to one or even
several crops Is not a national disas-

WI TIng.fnnr,. Regard for Truth.

The reporter who lied to the Chinese
minister at Washington, WI Ting
fang. about his salary, no doubt lie
luded himself with the thought--if he
gave the matter thought at all,-that
1t was a white lie" that would hurt
nobody. But let us see the sequel; -
On the first occasion, when he called
to interview the minister, he was ask
ed what salary he received. "One
hundred and fifty dollars week." glib.
ly replied the youth. 1T is too much.
1t is altogether too much" said the
more candid than polite WI Ting-fang.
"You are not worth more than twenty.
five dollars week."
The Chinese minister, it is said,
learned later, through other news
paper men, that the reporter had not
spoken the truth, and that, instead of
one hundred and fifty dollars a week,
he received but sixty. Consequently.
when he again presented himself at
the Chinese legation for information
for his paper, he was curtly dismissed
by WI Ting-fang with these words:
you lied to me about your salary. II
you will lie about such thing as that.
you will lie about anything. | do not
trust you. l have nothing to say 10
you. l want to revise my former esti-
mate of your value. Instead of being
worth twenty-five dollars week, you
are not worth anything. sir. Success.
