The past weeks weather mas been
the finest of the season. Clear, pleas
ant and not very cool. Threshing
has been resumed and grain is dryer
than 1T has been any time yet this
season. Corn is ripening up
pretty good, since the frost which
did not affect a good deal of the
corn so as to hurt it, only stopping it

LETTER FROM AN OLD WORTH
INGTON CITIZEN.
A letter from G. L. Peterson, Pill
ager, Mimi, formerly one of our
most highly respected and success
full business men, will be interest
ing to his old friends here. We got
the A vance every Saturday
and it is a welcome visitor. We are
all glad to read the news from No.
bles Co., which was our home for
nearly thirty years, yes thirty
years resident amongst as good
a class of people as can be found in
the state Of. Minnesota brings back
very many pleasant memories of
the past years which we lived in
Mobiles Co. While contented, pros
porous and in good health mere in
our new home at Pillager, we wish
nothing but the best success to the
people of Mobiles Co. I see in the
A d an Q that the crops are
rather light in Mobiles co. this year
due to too much rain. Mobiles Co.
is not the only county that has
had too much rain, by the reports
the whole southern part of the
state has had too much rain this
year, while the northern part of
the state was in the first part of
the summer too dry to make good
crops. Here in Cass Co., we
will have a fair average crop. Wheat
and potatoes will be below the
average. The best field of wheat
will not yield more than Is BUSH
els per acre but the quality will be
good; potatoes will yield from rs
to $50 bushels per acre. This sea-
son has been to cold for corn, but
still we will have a fairly good
crop of corn, ninety per cent of the
corn is ripe now, the yield will be
about 80 bushels good, sound
corn per acre, some fields will 60
better, probably forty bushels.
Flax, oats and hay is a good crop.
] have never seen red clover grow
any better than 1t does here, it does
not winter kill. Will make two good
crops in the season. Strawberries,
blueberriee, raspberries and hazle-
nuts grow wild here in abundance.
Our water is of the very best, soft
and clear. The future prospects for
Cass Co., I think, is very good; it
will some day be great stock coun-
try as we'll as y farming country.
While we have a good many advan-
tages over the prairie country such
as fencing, fuel and building mater
ial on our own farms, we have aslo
disadvantages such as clearing our
land which is quite job. Clearing
land here costs from IS to SIS an
acre. Wild land here is selling
from So to $12 per acre. We have
got too much rain here at present,
we have had three weeks of wet
weather and very little sunshine.
Farm work has been at standstill
for some time.

Phrase Maker arose, a look of blind
haste on his countenance. His green
robe flashed down over his shrunken
limbs as he Strengthened up. His
pallid, eager face pleaded for the end.

Then he slowly turned upon the god.

And here and there the trees meet oYer-

And rank quick-growing grasses In the

Form carpets green your little feet

And you shall run, your mellow cusls

Along the ways my bare feet used to
And you shall hear the jays and catbirds

And learn the dear old paths used to
go.
Your yellow curls shall lift to all the

eyes shall shine
Enraptured of life whose each phase

Your childish heart. as one time 1t did
mine:
And you shall stoop where buttercups

And pluck them by the armful. IL you
will;
And you shall laugh to hear the cattle
And you shall hear the plaintiff whip

And you shall chase the thistle-down

On lazy winds, and you'll twine in your
hair
The crimson clover blossoms, all unknown

How more you are than just surprising

And you--the naughty gander shall af-

Until you scream and someone comes to

LOVER OF NICE DISTINCTIONS.
Former King of Siam Went to n
Great Deal of Trouble to Perfect
His English.

The Siamese differ from Other
Orientals in a kind of youthful curl.
csity which has made them reach
out for European ideas, whereas
most eastern races have repealed the
west or been Indifferent to it. A
recent writer on Siam gives an ac-
count of the learning of the King
of Siam who died in 1865. He was a
trained Oriental linguist, and COR
responded in fluent English with
many Engiishmen of distinction.
From the book by Mrs. Leonowens,
English governess at the Siamese
court, the writer quotes an account
OF his majesty's habits of study.
Before my arrival in Bangkok it
had been not uncommon practice
to send for missionary at midnight,
have him beguiled or abducted from
his bed, and conveyed by boat to the
palace, some miles up the river, to
inquire if it would not be more ele-
CANT to write 'murky' instead of OBJ
scure,' or .gloomily dark rather
than not clearly apparent And if
the wretched man should venture to
declare his honest preference for the
Ordinary over the extraordinary
form of expression, he was forthwith
dismissed with irony, arrogance, or
even insult, and without a word of
apology for the rude invasion of his
rest.
Zone night, little after IL o'clock,
as his majesty-wa on the point of
going to bed, like any plain citizen
of regular habits, he fell to thinking
how most accurately to render into
English the Siamese word phi which
admits of variety of interpretations
ghost, spirit, soul, devil, evil angel.
AFTER puzzIing over it. for more
than an hour and getting himself
possessed with the word as with the
devil it stands for, but to no purpose,
he ordered one of his lesser state
barges to be manned and despatched
with all speed for the British con,
sui.
THAT functionary, inspired with
lively alarm by SO startling a sum-
mons, dressed himself with uncere-
monious celebrity and hurried to the
palace, conjecturing on the way all
imaginable possibilities, of politics
and diplomacy, revolution or in
vasion.
ITO his vexation, not less than to
his surprise, he found the king en-
deshabiIle engaged with Siamese-
English vocabulary, and mentally
divided between deuce and devil in
the choice of an equivalent.
His preposterous majesty gravely
laid the case before the consul, who.
although inwardly chatting at the
situation, had no choice but to de-
eide with grace, and go back to bed
with philosophy"

She Just Called "Mariana" and One
Pickaninny Was Sure
to Come.

While we were visiting at 4 small
village in one Of the Carolinas we
went onc afternoon to see one of the
cid negro mammies in her own log
cabin. She was highly honored at the
condescension of de ladies'" and was
much concerned that the call might
not be disturbed by the presence of
her childrenA'.fo'teen pickaninnies, .
she called them, says a writer in Lip
pincott's Magazine. OF course, curl
osity was too strong for the youngsters,
and soon the one door was blocked
with curly heads and wide-open eyes.
When nanny perceived them, she just
turned around and, gathering up her
skirts as one does in, front of a flock
of trespassing chickens, cried out
"Shoo!" and the cough drops disap-
peared.
But toward the end of our visit
nanny needed the services of helper
to put out the jelly and cake that she
insisted we eat. Stepping to the door
che called:
Mariana"
Soon three girls in single piece of
coverings came bashfully. but curl
ously through the door, and all were
given orders by the bustling mother.
But" said one of the callers, in a
half testing way. ARE all three named

ElHERE is only one good way to
battle baby. That only few
- mothers know about it is no
fault of mothers as class. but is due
to the fact that there is only one ply
stefan in Chicago whose nurses are
trained in it. For (thc truth must
be told) it was father. not mother,
who thought out this bit of nursery
wisdom. It's as simple, too, as it is
good. This is how you do it:
Add to the furnishing of your nur-
sery small table. An orr. nary kitch-
en- table, with few inches sawed on
its legs will do, although one that is
lighter and more easily handled is bet
