The Tomato.

The tomato has a curious history.
After the revolution of Santo Do
mingo many French families came

South America as early as 1896 into
England, it was looked upor, with sus-
picion and its specific name. lycopersi-
cum, derived from lykos wolf and
persikon "a peach, referring to the
beautiful but deceptive appearance Of
It's fruit. intimates pretty closely the

by an unruly team at Fleetwood park.

WHEN GRANDPA WAS A BOY.

When Grandpa was boy-oh, gee say
want the felIers good
They never did a thing but jest exactly a
they should.
They never worried Bridget and they new
er sasSed their Ma;
They never used ter teased and beg fe-
stories from their Pa;
They never kicked the table leg, ner asked
two times for pie;
They never whined ter have ice-cream, ane
candy made 'em cry;
They'd good deal ruther bring in wOOd
than play with any toy.
And dOin' chores was their delight, wher
Grandpa was boy.
When Grandpa was boy they had nc
holidays at all,
And school kept goin right along through
summer time till fall;
And all the fellers loved it and they used
ter tease ter 60,
And if they stayed ter home day it broke
their hearts, yer know.
They never thought of 'hookin' jack, and
never once was late,
And never threw spit-ball .ner made pic.
lures on state,
But studied jest ter beat the band, 'causr
lessons was their joy,
And no one ever missed a word, when
Grandpa was boy.
When Grandpa was boy he loved ter wear
his Sunday clothes,
And used ter black his shoes all around.
and not Jest crost the toes;
He used ter be so careful that his suits
looked new fer years,
And always when he washed his face he
scrubbed behind his ears.
He loved tract, but never cared fer books
bout Deadwood Dick,
And dotted on sermon, but circus made
him sick;

Big Corn Crop.

The government crop estimate on
corn, which has justi been made and
which is the last beforesthe final estl-
mate on all grains, places. the probable
harvest at 2.453, 600 900. bushels. 1t
these figures hold, the crop will be the
largest the country has ever produced,
with the exception of 1902, when 2, ,525,-
648, ,312 bushels, were harvested. 1t is
important to note that the govern
ment's November estimate is only TO-
600, 900 bushels less than that made by
the statistician of the New York. Pro-
duce Exchange on the October condi'
tions reported, whereas it is more than
600, ,000,0 greater than James J. Hill s
estimate. Mr.. Hill. who has always
been regarded as careful observer,
has clung steadily to his figures. 1t
will be interesting to learn what he has
to say respecting the government esti
mate of last Wednesday. There is no
question, however, that the figures is
sued by the Department of Agriculture
are very close to the facts. Whatever
variation there is when the December
estimates are made will hardly be i'm
portant enough to effect materially the
quotations for the grain. This very
large crop of corn is particularly vel
come, coming as it does in season
when there is shortage in wheat
wheat will be high until the next crop
is harvested, but it will not be so high
as would be the case if there was a
shortage in corn. Corn can be used in
many ways in the place of wheat and
it is always so used when wheat is
scarce. The abundant supply of corn
should also tend to keep down the
price of cattle fed upon this grain. and
the price of meats.
