Of course. all May Day festivities
were not like this. but the majority
were. House parties were popular,
and it was found queens could reign
quite as well on the lawn; besides
there was not the danger of meeting
bugs and other wriggling wood folk
there. Then other things happened
in the wood: Juniors tumbled into
brooks, were scratched by briers
and stuck in the mud, tore charm
ing frocks, and lost valuable trim
kets. One of the best things about
May from the Junior point of view
was the making and giving of May
baskets which they filled with flow
ers, fruit or candy.

on DEUEY DRY
n Southern Celebration OF
the Dict0ry.
(PrHe


IN the spring Of '9S when school
/ closed earlier than usual, I went
imm ediately to my grandfather
plantation. I arrived little before
the first day of May and found that
my aunt had planned a little picnic
for me in nearby grove for the
second Of May.
It proved to be a fine, clear day,
just the kind for an outdoor lunch
con. When we arrived at our des-
tination in the grove we passed
our time pleasantly with amuse-
ments while our elders prepared the
meal. The morning was spent in
surveying the woods, gathering wild
flowers and reading, At last the
meal was ready but grandpa, who
had gone to nearby town, had not
come. Thinking that he had been
detained by business, we did not
wait for him. When we were in
the midst of the feast we were sur
prised to see grandpa riding along
the road like mad and shouting
something we could not understand.
AS he came near we heard him
shout: Dewey has whipped the
Spaniards at Manila" Altho Dewey
had gained his victory on May 1.
this was the first we had heard of
it. We were so glad that we made
bonfires and in the evening went
into town for the celebration.
Grandfather seemed as youthful and
patriotic as he was in 1861 when he
was an ardent sympathizer of the

May Day the queen of flowers was crowned

dubbed over with joy, and with much delightful

raised decked with streamers and garlands, and
then the happy youngsters circed around it and

our heads appeared tiny clouds. Til,
moon dressed these out in many color.
and in very fantastic shape and the
sky beyond seemed blue-a wonderful
brilliant tropical blue. And those H.
tie clouds-why, they were chasing one
after another right in bee line fcl
Fiji or the northern coast of Austria
LA. And she told me these pretty lit
tie clouds were being hurled along at
a great rate by the trade winds, and
that must have been the cause of find
ing such cool, fresh air in that garden.
Beneath us, again to the South, we
could see the old palace of the gone
Hawaiian monarchs, and off to one
side the spire or small steeple of a
church which she said had been built
many years ago-stones being carried
one at time from the sea until e.
nough had been secured to erect the
building.
Then our revels in nature were ir-
terrupted. A young man came along
claiming a dance. She said she was
sorry to go but would return as soon
as this number is pow 1 do not know
what the pow means but suppose it
is part of the charm that 1 have in
dulged in tonight.
And you, my friend, you live here, do
you not also appreciate the wonderful
gifts of nature that this place is bless
ed with?'
1 insisted that I did. But he de-
clared that only stranger-one just
arrived-could properly appreciate ev-
erything in sight
1 explained to the tourist that the
word pow" was really pau and that
his young lady meant that she would
return to him as soon as that number
had been finished. He left me hur-
riedly remarking that he and the
young lady should be able to see the
comet Borelli from their seats ON the
roof garden.
And the tourist had not exaggerated.
L ne pace was certainly lovely. HaS-
sengers and officers of the Korea -
officers of the Celtic, officers from the
naval station and Camp Mckinley, and
many townspeople, all mixed with many
ladies, certainly presented a picture
Monday night that should impress any
tourist-even one who has enjoyed a
dance with a dnSLy maiden Oear tIa
headwaters of the Blue Nile.

Macaroni Wheat Profitable.

Farmers near Mitchell are expert
menting this season with mdCaTnni
wheat and from the outlook OF the
crop the experiment is a profitable
one. S. a. HOlbrook, living four miles
northwest Of that city and two Of bis
neighbors planted twenty-five acres
each, using three bushels 10 the acre,
and today they have a magnificent
stand Of wheat. even reaching beyond
their expectations. Mr.. II Holbro k
said that the wheat stands over i've
feet high and the heads are filling in
fine shape. The stem is quite rigid
and has the strength TO prevent the
wheat from lodging in wet weather.
This is one of the advantages maca-
rOni wheat has over the present variety
used in this country. Mr.. HOlbrook
said the indications are that macaronl
wheat will yield nearly twice as much
grain per acre and that the berry IS
much larger This variety VIII be
ready IT, harvest next week.

THE HAIL STORM.
Words Cannot Picture the Destruc-
tion to Crops.

The strip Of country devastated by
hdil last week Wednesday is a dtscOur-
aging sight to look upon. The storm
started IN the vicinity OF Hazel Ham
lin county and passing 10 lie west OF
kstelline. struck the east hdlf OF Pres
ton township and the southwest pOr-
tiun OF Eureka, Just missing Bruce
and then swung south through SteT-
ling aud BrOOkings townships, cross
ing the railroad lust east OF the june
tiOn. Here the storm seems TO have
spread out a. it took IN portion uf
the southwest of 4 urord aud The
northeast corner Of Medary, just MISS
inc the village Of Aurora and wlplug
out almost the eutlIc crop Ia trenton
and the south west corner Jt IJTuCil.
Along the entire path ~ the storm
the finest crops ever raised IN TINS
locality were ruined in few moments
time. Grain OF all kinds was the best
we have ever seen and now thc fields
look as though they had been rolled
with d massive roller. Nothing : ieIt
standing except the bare corn stalks
and in some places stubs Of wheat bar
lev and mlllet. The Oat crop seems
TO have with,toOd the raVageS OF the
storm a triIle better than other grain
but most of this crop is utterly ruined.
Whether the corn makes q crop
depends a great deal on the weather
from now ou and the height Of the
corn at the time Of the storm. Corn
that had started t. taSsel is no doubt
ruined, but that which had DOT grown
to that stage may yet he fair crop.
though on the low land it is pretty
well drowned out and must have warm
DRY weather u push the grown along.
This is the first time in twenty
three years this particular section has
been visited by hail, bat following the
frosts OF last season the outlook is
very discouraging to the farmers, who
had prospect for bumper crop. only
