Some fine Wheat.

Andrew GFeineF. OF Mayville, one oi

gated new variety Of wheat which
gives promise Of eclipsing anything In

sample OF the wheat heads In town Mon
day and IL certainly surpAsses anything
shown here. The heads ARE long and
big and show by actual count to contain
from 80 to 100 exceptionally large
grains.
Mr.. GreinsF secured the new variety
Of wheat In somewhat novel manner.
About Eve years ago while attending q
Portland exposition he secured q few
grains Of about so different varieties on
exhibition. lie mixed them together
and planted them. The 6rst year he
selected three different varieties Of the
hybrid ans planted them together, the
next year he selected two and last yeaI

this year and it promises 20 yield 10
bushels To the acre.
He has not named the new cereal but

Their own Lookout.

There was an Irishman who after
reaching America was full Of homesick
brag. in which nothing in America
even approached things Of similar
variety in Ireland. In speaking of the
bees Of the ould sod he grew especially
roseate and said:
''Why, the baze in that country is
twice as big as in this, bedade. In
dade, they're bigger than that-they're
as big as the sheep We have in this
counthry"
Bees as big as sheepv' said his in
credulous listener. "Why, what kind
of hives do they have to keep them
in?"
mo bigger than the ones in this
rounthry," was the reply.
'Then how do the bees get into the
hives? he was asked.

When the King Laughed.

One of the three occasions on which
Philip ". of Spain laughed was as fol-
lows: Philips first wife, Isabella Of
Bourbon, died in 1915, and the next
year he married the Austrian Arch
duchess Maria Anna. This princess
understood Spanish but very imper-
fectly. Passing on her way to the cap
ital through a certain town which was
distinguished for its silk manufactures,
she was presented by the inhabitants
with few dozen silk stockings. Heed
less of the queens presence, the master
Of ceremonies snatched the parcel out
of the hands Of the town councillors,
flung it on the ground and exclaimed in
a rage:
Are you not aware that the queens
Of Spain are not supposed to have any
legs?"
The queen, with her imperfect knowl-
edge of Spanish, here began to weep,
called for her father confessor, Reit-
hardt, and told him that she meant to
return to Austria If she had known
that in order to become queen of Spain
it was necessary to have ones limbs
cut off, she would rather have died in
Germany than undergo the operation in
Spain. When this incident was related
to the king, he burst into loud laughter
before the whole assembled court.

Early American scu1ptor,.

It is worthy of special notice that
when Rush began to model in clay not
one of the artists who have given ce-
lebrity to our native sculpture had seen
the light Of day. Frazer was not born
until 1890 nor Ezekiel Anger Of New
Haven until 1871. The latter was orig
inally in the grocery trade, but, failing
in that, took up modelling and wood
carving without any guide except his
natural instincts; but, like the major
ity Of our early sculptors, with the ex-
ception Of Rush, his efforts are inter-
esting only as evidence of what talent
entirely unobstructed can accomplish.
1t was not until 1905, long after Cop
ley, West, Malbone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art. that Hiram Powers was
born. The same year Horatio Green
ough first saw the light of day. In the
remote wilds Of Kentucky Hart was
brought into this world in 1910, and
Clevenger, Crawford and Mills follow
ed in 1872, 1913 and 1916. Thus we
see that without hereditary genius or
predecessors from whom to copy Rush
achieved his artistic results and sue
ceeded in winning for himself Euro
pean renown which made him the
equal Of some Of the leading foreign
carvers and sculptors Of his age and
at the same time well earned the title
Of father of American sculpture"

Nature Took a Hand.

Dion Boucicault, playwright and
actor, was once playing piece called
"The Vampire" at London theater.
The opening scene represented the
highest regions of the Alps by moon
light. A thunderstorm ragged in the dis
lance, the thunder, of course, being
produced in the usual manner by the
property man with thunder sheet"
The vampire, Mr.. Boucicault, was
seen lying on the highest mountain
peak, dead to all appearance, but as
ray of the moon touched his body he
came to life.
One night after the moon had
brought him to life and when he was
in the middle of his first speech Mr..
Boucicault was suddenly interrupted
by tremendous clap of thunder Low
ering his voice so that it could be heard
only by the property man, he said in
dignantly:
Every well, Mr.. Davids, you are max
ing more mistakes. That clap of thun-
der came in the wrong place."
In stentorian tones, which could be
heard all over the auditorium, Mr.. Da-
vids replied:
mo fault Of mine, sir. 1t wasn't my
thunder. Thunder's real, out of doors,
Perhaps you can stop it there, sir"

Hampton had been sitting there in a

come in before o'clock, taken half an
hour for his makeup and had, thirty
minutes to put in on his part before
his dressing room mate arrived. OF
course every one knew he never would
get off the text. Hadn't they heard him
at the afternoon rehearsal, when he
made every one Of them ask who he
was because he was letter perfect, and
they knew he hadn't been given the
part until that morning?
Temple had been taken suddenly ill
and wired that he couldn't go on that
night When you know his part was

ELEPHANTS,
Few Grow Nine Feet High, tho Ma
jority Being Under Eight Feet.

Few Grow Nine Feet High, tho MA.
jority Being Under Eight Feet.
The average term Of an elephants
life, although there is no precise in
formation on the point, is seventy or
eighty years. The elephant is not in
full yigor and strength till thirty-fve.
The most ready way of forming an ap-
proximate idea Of the age is by the
amount of turn over of the upper edge
of the ear. In young animals, some
times up to the age of eight or nine
however, then begins to turn over, and
by the time the animal is thirty the
edges lap over to the extent Of an inch,
and between this age and sixty this
increases to two inches or slightly
more. Extravagant ideas are held as
to the height Of an elephant. Such a
thing as an elephant measuring ten
feet at the shoulder does not exist in
India or Burma. Sanderson, who is adj
mitted to be the best authority on the
subject, says the largest male he ever
met with measured feet 10 inches
and the tallest female 8 feet inches.
The majority Of elephants, however,
are below, eight feet, and an animal
rarely reaches nine feet, the female
being slightly shorter than the male.
The carcass of an elephant feet 4 inch
es tall weighed in portions gave total
weight of 5000 pounds, so an elephant
weighing two tons should be common
anOuph The skin was 0hOut thrpp-
fourths of an inch thick.

He Had Not.

At one of the public receptions at

Clemens ozark Twain was presented
to Mrs. Cleveland. On shaking handy

simply, ''Will you please sign that?"
Mrs. Cleveland glanced at the card
to find nothing but the words, HE has
not written across it. She looked in
amused perpleXity to Mr.. Clemens for
something further, when the latter ex-
planned:
"My wife said if came here l would
be sure to come with my goloshes on;
but haven't, have l? So l wish you
would sign that for me to give her."
Mrs. Cleveland looked down at his
feet and then laughingly wrote her

The f1ier which left San Francisco
that night carried me with it, although
Its first stopping place was ten miles
beyond Somersville, the village Of my
destination. Such was the impatience
of my rage that preferred the pros
pect of ten mile tramp to the delay
and slowness of later train.
How my hate burned on that Novem-
Der night! My thoughts ran on to the
accompaniment of the deep, mellow
murmur of the train as it flew over it's
bed of steel. Through and through my
brain like molten ball of lead ran the
remembrance of the wrong done me by
my treacherous friend, and time and
time again dwelt longingly on the re-
venge that should be nine
1 was still in my soldiers uniform
But first let me tell you the story. Let
me explain my fierce hate. Jim Brad
ley and had been chums-a fine, low
able fellow 1 thought him. We were
side by side in Cuba, and l believed
that we knew one another as two men
who braved hardship and danger to-
gether should.
We went. to the Philippines. Our
friendship remained fast and seemed
to be impervious to any assault. But
that country must have made sad
change in the character of my chum.
Lured on by some dark eyed native
woman, he turned traitor to his coun-
try and sacrificed his honor. He pro
cured arms for the rebels and actually
contemplated joining them. 1t was
who discovered his perfdy. He con-
fessed and tried to draw me into his
traitorous schemes. My duty was to
denounce him, but could not. Our old
friendship was too strong, and had
foolish hopes of dissuading him from
his madness.
/ cannot rake over the details now, J
do not want to, nor can explain clear.
ly the events that followed. He was
suspected, arrested and brought to trial
BY somOdevilish trick he reversed OUT
true positions and made me appear the
guilty one. Dazed and staggered by
this turn in affairs, / admitted the
knowledge had possessed of Bradley's
intrigues with the rebels. For six
months was held waiting for trial.
When that trial came was freed,
but it left me almost wreck, with
