An Interesting Letter.


Dear Sir After a long silence
we will again try to send a few
items. We have spoken of this be-
ing a wet place before, but Jupi-
ter Pluvius has exceeded himself
this season. I don t think we have
had more than fifteen or twenty
dry days since the first of April.
We did have four dry days last
week, and had begun to hope, but
it has rained every day this week,
and is now raining as though we
would have another deluge. Crops
with the exception of wheat, are
generally good. The weed crop
is exceptionally good. Plow them
out, they take root and grow;
chop them up with a hoe and ev-
cry piece grows. Well, we pillow
in the rain, plant in the rain and
harvest in the rain. No joke. [
have put up lot of hay and cut
my wheat this week. Had to come
in the house this afternoon or
drown. In our last article we
spoke of the excessive taxes in
this country, and, by the way, we
hear some complaint from Tyler,
but suppose that the property in
Tyler was assessed at about twice
what it would bring at public sale,
and then a tax of &c mills levied.
What would be the result9 That
is what the powers that be tried
to do here, and the natives would
have submitted, but by hard work
we got a kick up. We led the
fight, and got about one-third Ia
ken off and think we will do bet
ter next time. The Ellsworth coal
people are having their troubles
with the wet weather, as it has
caused a landslide that buried a
whole battery of coke ovens. One
of the needs of this country is a
good dog law, as it is, the dogs
are about to put the wool growers
out of business. There is no law
to punish a man for keeping a
sheep-killing cur, but if you 60 on
his premises and kill a dog he can
prosecute you for trespass, so the
dogs thrive and the sheep suf-
fer. We noticed some time ago
that The Review had published
an article from the Washington
Reporter concerning the good
roads now being built here, and
advising the same, but don't do
it. The Washington papers don't
tell the truth of the matter. The
facts are, we have no good roads,
and never will. Yes, there are AZ
miles being built now that will
cost when completed not less than
100000, and this vast sum of the
peoples money might as well
have been burned, as the roads
will be poor things when COM
pleted. They are built in short
sections, and lead from nowhere
to no place, the idea being simply
to sidetrack money into interested
parties, as the roads to be built
will be Of no practical value what
ever. We are glad to see that old
Tyler is again coming to the front
as an oil producer, and are espec-
tally pleased because our old
friends at Wick are enjoying such
rich strikes. Here's hoping that
they will all get rich, ourselves in
cluded. S. S. SMITH.

FARM LIFE FREEDOM.
An Old Pioneers PIaint About It's
 Loss in New Conditions.

l.. L. Keasy in the American Agricul-
 turist.
 The old time sociabilty and hospitality that was so free and common to us re- maining pioneers is fast fading away, and why? It is largely because the cities are fast throwing their tired and retired people among LIS and making blend of custome that seems to be working de- struction to the happy communion that once existed between nelghbors
 The bobsleighs and wagons that used to stop and take us all to church, the lyce- um, the spelling school or the town are rarely seen. The city people bring with tnem their private rigs and sweep past their rural neighbors seldom pausing to bid you good day and never asking one to ride.
 Life in the city breeds this unintention- al selfishness. Their vehicles have no va cant seats for the unfortunate, their char ites are kept within the confines of their own family interests, their advent into society is strictly formal and the old time ruralist who dares approach them in the good old way is termed rude and ignor- ant.
 Today an old neghbor came into my

house without knocking and said. Hello. Neighbor Keasyl' He did not wait for me to get him chair but chose the one he wanted He threw his cap and old bag mttens on to the couch, pulled off his rubber boots reached over on the table and helped himself to an apple placed his feet on the, stove fender and proceeded 10 feel perfectly at home.
 I love that man and his style because 1t allows me to enter his home in the same good old way. l love the plan be- cause 1t removes so many doubts and awakes a friendship or joins interests in a way that they may bend, but never break from their stiffness.
 l am not blaming the newcomer for his manner is the natural result of city environment, but I do blame my old neigh bors for trying to pattern after the un- natural customs of strangers. Why not adhere to those rules which we know have linked freedom with the farm?
 The disconsolate citizen leaves the city for rural freedom, but unconsciousy brings bondage with him, and we, like apes, partake of his stiffness and lessen our individuality and coveted freedom. We must meet the city stranger with the horny hand of old time fellowship and give him to understand that he Is back where nature designed him to be. The best and noblest of the land are on the farm, and their birth and growth were perfected through this same life of free dom and simplicity.

Queer Gossip About Roosevelt.

Much queer gossip here about the pres ident? Yes, great men are apt to have great peculiarities. Caesar was acred- ited with the failing sickness Mr. Roosevelt, so Wayne MacVeagh told q friend is curiously emotional and some times bursts into flood of weeping, apparently without cause But the most singular thing l have recently heard is that the president goes outside his cabi- net for advice on many points and that one of his principal private advisers is no less a person than George l.. Benson, that sturdy old, Napoleonically built sol dier, who was once ovo-marshall in Arkansas and said to be great fav- orite with General Grant. Provo Benson or Private Benson, as he used to be called occasionally, is a remarkable char acter and looks remarkable. Imagine a small compactly built man of sixty, with a heavy shock of silver hair, an aquiline nose, and unusually large and brilliant dark eyes. He looks like an in- spired rabbi in civilian dress, and l fancy must have Jewish blood in his veins, though the Bensons, a highly respectable clan. got sdomesticated in Vermont many, many years ago.
 This particular Benson who is said to be a Corporal Trim to the president and to rank higher than Jacob Riis or James Jeffrey Roche in his favor, has been to my knowledge for years on terms of close correspondence with many of the most prominent men in the republi- can party. About six years ago he got a pension and it is believed that the

Countess Is Fascinating.

One of the most fascinating figures in Washington just now is woman, the Countess Marguerite Cassini. Whenever she appears, whether driving walk ing, all eyes are fastened upon her. Her nerve and her verve are simply superb. Her countrys disasters merely render her haughtier If Russia had a few like her in Port Arthur, the Japanese might cap itulat ere too late Speaking American beautifully, although with slight ac- cent and peculiar fashion of raising her voice in the wrong places, this lovely Russian roams about the town as if she owned it, and were sometimes in- clined to sell it for a few rubles. Full of dash and a high stopper herself she doesn't care much for men, but she dotes on horses. Out on the Bennings track l have seen her several times. and she was there, l understard, at that luck less epoch in our natural history, when Miss Roosevet--but hushaby.l we must not even whisper of that escapade. It is now less-maj ajestic even to allude to it.
 The Russian beauty affects a startling taste in costumes, "barbaric sometimes in the near; but, seen afar, wonderful
 magical in their visual spell" 1 some times question whether, after all, ten der heart may not be beating under all her splendor of attire and headong haul tier of manner. Who can tell? Some of the best actresses never get on the stage.

LUMBER MILL WASTE
 GAN NOW BE UTILIZED

The importation of wooden toys from Germany and the Tyrol for the Christ mas trade has always been a huge item in the annual expense account of the United States with foreign countries. The toys were made by the poor Swiss peasants who could carve out by hand and paint them at starvation wages. All members of the household would en- gage in this work. But in the great woods of New England today factories have been equipped with machinery which will turn out in one day more of these toys than fifty households in the Tyrol could produce in a week. tf85

Hard-up For Anecdotes.

It is rather sad to see how hard up even the Washington papers get for an- ecdotes occasionally. Here's a recent specimen:
 Representative Mic" Longworth, of Cincinnati has been suffering recently from a severe attack of indigestion, for which too many late dinners probably are responsible.
 "The thing for you to do young man, said his physician the other day, lis to take a long walk every morning on an empty stomach"
 "Whose?' asked MT. Longworth.
 I will not mention the offenders name, for the paper Is generally very bright and original: but this repartee has moss on it. Rev. Sydney Smith, the famous English humorist century ago got 1t off still more printedly Take exercise every morning on an empty stomach said the doctor. "On whose shall l take it?'' was the historic reply. Congress- man Longworth is no Depew, jingling castnets and emitting castanean jocosi- ties. Hes too bright an American to steal from dead English jester
