A Resort For Relic Hunters

as Bay Ridge, which for a number of
years has been favorite bathing re-
sort for Washingtonians and others.
is, with low tide, a resort for relic
hunters. A number of rings, some of
them valuable, have been found at
different times during the winter
months. James. Branzell, of this city,
last week found two plain gold rings
and ring with . set, and also
handsome set of teeth, which, from
appearance, had belonged to one of the
fairer sex. AS these lost articles are
never expected to be found. the lucky
finders generally dispose of them or

Des Moines, Iowa.
The temperature of the past week
was normal, with abundant sun.
shine and very light rainfall in the
larger portion of the state. Condi-
tions were very favorable for the
corn crop, which made as rapid
progress as could be desired for its
normal development. The sudden
fall in the temperature at close Of
the week resulted in light frosts IN
exposed localities, and possible
damage to tender vegetation on low
ground; but reports do not indicate
material damage to the corn CROP.
A considerable percentage of the
crop is now well dented, with
change in color of husk. indicating
nearness to maturity; but the Gro 3
as whole needs immunity from
killing frost until Oct. 1. The
growth has been unusually heavy
in stalk, blade and ear. and the
fields are mostly deep green color
indicating need of more DAYS of
ripening weather. There are some
reports of cutting corn in the early
planted fields, and this work will
likely be general in portions of the
state within the next two weeks.
Pastures are unusually good for
the middle of September. Cutting
wild hay is about completed ;thresh-
ing is we'll advanced. Potatoe

To devote a scrapbook to one subject
makes 1t much more interesting and
valuable, and when you begin to gath
er material on any one theme you will
be surprised at the amount which will
come to hand. Suppose you want to
know all about some famous person,

some one Of past times. From maya
Zines and other sources can be collect
ed articles, portraits, perhaps poems
In relation to the subject, etc. When
matter is clipped, the scrapbook maker
may copy it neatly with a pen into q
book. The educational value Of such
a book is something worth while, az
well as the satisfaction Of having gath
cred oneself SO much Information on 8

NAsT's SURPRISE.
Dramatic Climax In the Convention
Which Nominated Grant.


Dramatic Climax In the Convention
Which Nominated Grant.
In May, 1868, the Republican ma
tional convention came along. Mast
went to Chicago to be present
1t was settled beforehand that Gen.
eral Grant was to be the Republican
presidential candidate. The great sol
der had maintained calm and noble
dignity through all the trying days Of
conflict between congress and Andrew
Johnson and was now honored almost
as much for his diplomacy as for his
success at arms. Indeed the mantle of
sweet renown left by Lincoln would
seem to have been laid upon the Shout
'ders Of Grant, and he wore 1t with be-
coming grandeur and humility.
Realizing hat the convention would
name Grant as its choice, Mast pre-
pared little surprise for the event.
He painted upon a large curtain the
White House entrance, with two ped
estals, one on each side, bearing the
words, Republican Nominee, Chicago,
May 2O,' and Democratic Nominee,
New York, July 4, respectively. On
the Republican pedestal was seated the
figure Of Grant, while Columbia stood
pointing to the empty place opposite.
Below were the words, match Him"
This curtain, with blank curtain be-
fore it, was suspended at the back of
the convention stage. At the instant
when General Grant was announced as
the unanimous presidential choice Of
his party the blank curtain was lifted,
and the great cartoon, match Himw
was suddenly exposed to full view.
The occurrence was SO unexpected
that the throng was silent for a mo-
ment, taking it in; then, realizing that
1t was spectacular climax, the picto-
rial expression Of a universal sent-
ment, the assembled multitude gave
vent to an enthusiasm that turned the
great hall into pandemonium Of exul-
tatton.-Albert Bigelow Paine in Pear
sons.
