Iowa Peach Crop Larue.

Des Moines, Aug. Lone notable
thing in connection with the big meat
strike in Chicago is the practical abb
sence of any raise in the price of meat
in Iowa generally, or Of fruit. Reports
from over the state show that II any
thing, fruit of all kinds Is keeping
level price and shows no tendency to
rise. Everything points to large
peach crop in Iowa, and in general
throughout the peach growing district,
and prices this year will be very rea-
sonable.

Of friends To the inlet for crabs, The
lines were baited and the crabs were
hungry. One Of the ladies Of the
party, a girl who dotted on Hatch, got
d crab within reach of her landing net
she was trying to land Hatch as
well--but was unable to get the crab
into it. She called on Hatch. who was
also in the act Of landing a crab, to
help her. Hatch was about to relin-
quish his prize to hasten to her as
sistance when, suddenly darting a
glance at party on the opposite bank
Of the inlet who were gathering up
their nets and crab lines preparatory
to departing, he saw a sight that
changed the whole current Of his in
tentions the girl whose shoe he had
laced. And still she wore his colors.
Hatch took in the situation as a gem
eral who pereeiyes that without a
desperate sortie his enemy win escape
him. The girl struggling with the crab
heard splash and, looking on the dis
turbed waters. saw Hatch swimming
in a straight line for the opposite bank.
She watched him till she saw him
clutch the bank, draw himself up and
dripping, hat iii hand, stand before a
girl with bow OF corn colored ribbon
IN her buttonhole.
Then she gave UP hope. The crab
meanwhile had got away
That was the last seen Of Hatch by
any Of his party that season He
walked away with the girl with the
bow of ribbon and did not return to
his hotel till late at night. He was
soaking wet. but the weather was hot,
aud he was soon quite dry; besides,
what were limp and rumpled garments
TO a man who had found his love.
The incident had been witnessed by
so many persons that 1t was a commit
tai on the part Of the lover, and the
girls friends were not slow ia connect
Ing him with the bow of ribbon she
had long worn and Of which she had
persistently refused TO give any ex-
PLANTATION. a provisional engagement
was announced before the lovers sepa-l

scented his credentials was made per-
manent During the following autumn
both grabbing parties were invited to
