Shortage of Corn.
Secretary Wilson, who has just return
ed to Washington from a trip that includ-
ed Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Iowa. Mime
sofa and South Dakota, said that while
the farming conditions are generally
good and some of the crops nave a large
yield, the corn crop win be short.
1.-THE abHormally cool weather. he
said, has retarded the development of
the corn crop. Along the valleys md
high waters the crop has been destroy
ed, and on the level lands that have been
saturated the corn will not mature. The
best corn is along the dry rolling lands,
but even there the cool season has pre-
vented the crop from being what it
should be at this time. We may have an
average crop. if the weather in the flu
ture is favorable, but if it continues cold
i is hard to say to what extent there
win be a shortage.
1.-THE grass crop win be the finest for
many years. The cool weather has fay-
ored the growth Of oats, wheat and bar
ley, and that class of products. The
wheat crop is generally good. The out
look for the farmer is good. We have
been paying SS,000.000 annually for mac

Pope Leo's wealth is estimated to

man in the world. There was probably
no man in the world whose income lest
year amounted to so large a sum as did
the Pope's. No statement of his receipts
is given out at the Vatican, but it is
easy to estimate from certain known
facts and gain a fairly accurate idea of
the Dontifical budget during the holy
year. Besides the Pope himself proba-

WRITINGS WILL SURVIVE.
EncycIicaIs Written by Pontif Have
Genuine Literary Merit.

Many Of the writings of Leo XIII. win
survive, not because they are from the
pen Of a pop but because of their genu-
inc literary merit. His encyclieais were
models Of Latin composition and his
verses showed that had he not gained
fame as a churebman he might have won
tie worlds pFaudits as a poet. The en-
cyclicaIs of no previous pope have had
as many nom Catholic readers and admir-
ers.
Leo XIII. was an interchangeable work

day. +. Even after retiring the rest of

Clay gave her a plantation to live up
