Higher Price for Wool.

There is no way OF knowing, Of
course, says the Dakota Farmer,
just how wool will open up another
spring, but there is every indication
that present values will bs main tain
ed at least, with chances in favor OF
their being higher. The 1904 clip is
already in the hands OF the consum
ers, more SO than any clip Of years
at this season. Prices have con tin
ued Arm with tendency to advance
from the opening Of the season. and
the fact that in some sections there
are buyers trying to contract next
springs clip at present prices,
would seem to indicate that they
are not expected to decline. Refer
ring to the situation, Justice, Bath
man Il Co. says: ''The 1904 clip Of
wool, which was marketed readily
in the west at gradually advancing
prices as the season progressed, has
for the most part found its way into
|the hands Of consumers. The stock
| in the hands of dealers is less than
for many years at this. time, and the
amount OF the 1904 clip to be carried
over into the new year will be very
|small. It wouldI seem reasonable,
therefore, to expect that the 1905
clip will meet with ready sale, an6
that the competition for it will be
keen. Being in close touch with the
wooden manufacturing interests o
the country, we know that in com
parison with six months ago tn.
mills are better employed and ir
some cases their production is sole
ahead for some time to come"

Blue Eyed Grass.
Blue eyed grass in the meadow,
And yarrow blooms on the hill,
Catta1ls that rustic and whisper,
And winds that are never still;
Blue eyed grass in the meadow,
A unnees nest near by.
Blackbirds caroling clearly
Somewhere betw cen earth and sky;
Blue eyed grass In the meadow.
And the laden bees low hum,
hilkwesds all by the roadside,
To tell us summer 10 come.

Brief Poets Of Ianan

Japan is land Of poets, as well as
of artists and soldiers, but the lap
anese poets have the great merit of
brevity. They almost invariably adopt
the form Of poem known as the "hok-
ka, which always consists Of exactly
thirty-one syllables arranged in five
or six lines.
These poems are usually devoted to
an exposition of some delicate beauty
in nature. One called "Kokoro ate
1.-THE Frost's Magic" a good
example. Freely translated, it runs
like this:
If it were my wish,
White chrysanthemum to Gull,
Puzzled by the frost
OF the early autumn time,
| would try to pluck a flower"
The Japanese poets seldom rhyme,
and they do not often write love
songs. One Of the latter, "Akenure
ba, is reminiscent Of Shelley's Good
Night" 1t may be translated:
Though | know full well
That the night will come again,
Fen when day has dawned;
Yet, in truth, hate the sight
OF the mornings coming light"

By this time we had drifted away
from the schooner and were invis-

they lit red fare, and began firing at
us again-probably to make us stop

a boat and pursued us; but by that

they gave up the chase after few

hardly light showing. A hundred
yards ahead doomed the white hulls

by the Italian cruiser and manned
with prize crews.
Suddenly, out of the blackness of
the night, came threatening hail in

Comfortable Collisions at Sea

Not long ago torpedo boat went
up to Providence from the Torpedo
Station at Newport, and then tried to
see what speed she could make in
running back, a distance Of thirty
miles. Thirty miles made in a bav
crowded with shipping is different
from thirty miles made over
straight, clear course, but the boat
made the run in one hour and three
minutes under one boiler-that is,
using half her power.
A few days after she went I'D to
Providence again and came down I'm
der both boilers, trying to cut down
the record. But everything seemed to
go wrong that day-ships got in the
way, the machinery did not seem to
work smoothly, and SO on; and when
the breakwater on the north end Of
the Torpedo Station was reached the
trip had been in a minute more time
than on the previous trial
The torpedo boat slowed down and
headed for her dock, but the bad luck
OF the day still pursued her, and she
crashed headon into the seawall at a
speed of seventeen knots an hour.
How did it seem when she hit?"
was asked of man on board of her.

the crash was coming we all grabbed

few men can withstand the persua-
sions Of physical torture.
The ammunition was hidden in a
ditch far out in one of the fields. The
men could not remove it without be-
ing observed by the Turkish patrols
and sentries, so they went about
among the women, and the result was
this. The Turks saw the women COM
ing and going in the fields as they
usually did, apparently intent upon
looking after their cows or goats or
corn They did not know that each
woman went to the cache, secured
several hundred rounds of ammuni-
ton, tied it to her by string around
her waist under her skirts and car
ried it to another place Of conceal
ment.
When torture finally compelled the
committeeman to reveal the hiding
place Of the ammunition, the Turks
went there at once, but found only
a few empty boxes.
