Why His Clock Was Slow.

There is an Italian fruit dealer, with
a we'll stocked store near one of the
suburban railway stations, who has
adopted a unique device, and one
which shows a deep knowledge of hui
ma nature. to hold his own in COM
petition with another dealer. whose
stand is some fifty yards nearer the
station than his own. A commuter
was leisurely peeling a banana in his
store the other day when the Italian
remarked:
You gotta iv' minute before your
train"
"No; twenty" replied the commuter,
glancing at a big clock on the wall.
"Thata clock fifteen minute Slow"
said the Italian. 81 keepa it slow.
Peepl' used come in a-here, lOOka at
clock, getta excite, go way, not buy.
Time to buy at PedrO's stand, nOtta
here. Now keepa clock slow, get
mucha trade. No. | not letta peepl'
miss train. l teIla them after they
buy de banan'."-New York CONNER

Much timber is being cut on the Red

STRIKERS, Elsie Ward, Uncle Joe Saun-
ders and others getting their share.
Swine are getting scarce and on some
farms there is not a royal hoof. Some
that may have a goodly number of shoats
next July may be right in the swim.
B. F. Wilson and oneofhis boysstarted
for New Mexico for Mr.. VS. health, but
the wind blew so hard that they could
hardly keep the cover on their wagon

bountiful feast.
The writer of the items was seized
with the grip, last week, but couldn't
get a grip on the pen, which accounts
for the lack of items, last week. Go for
the rest of the slack correspondents, Mr..
Editor. but have a little sympathy for
us. We have stayed by you now for
nearly six consecutive years and think
we are worthy a credit mark.
Well, George is back from Bridgeport,
this state, and Miss Emma is home from
McCook, nevertheless we cannot report
a wedding or make any rash promises to
do so. 1 Judge that the young people
have such good times that they prefer to
let well enough alone. But if this still
goes on some Of the young ladies will
have enough bed-quilts and art needle
work piled up to make a good-sized
church fair.

Insect Plaques.

The insect plaques of summer are no
matter of jest. Man must strive with
them as he strives against the other
hostile forces of nature. He must fight
the Hessian fly OIL the wheat crop will
not be garnered, he must fight the Wee
vii or the grain will perish in the bins,
he must fight the army worm or the
cattle will starve in the pastures, he
must fight the tent caterpillar and the
borer or his forests will wither and the
streams disappear. The entomOlogist.
therefore. wages the war of civilization
against forces all the more terrible be
cause of their minuteness and apparent
insignifcance.-St. Louis GlObe-Demo-
crat.
