A Tribute to the nj emory of F.
d. RhoadS.

At eventide came TO us the swift
rushing message, Your brother
passed on to-day" The shock was
severe; for we had long been look
ing for his coming, knowing of his
i'll health and of his thought to
come to this land Of sunshine, hop
ing to be benefited thereby, and his
last cheerful message to us had
been, Don't worry about me, I'll
live as long as l can" And this
was the end. His days were over
and he had entered into the sum
shine of the Silent Land to join
those who had gone on before. A
hurried consultation, a sleepleSS
night and hasty going followed,
for the remaining brother felt that
he must see him and follow him to
his last resting place. On reach
ing Portland he learned of Franks
desire to be taken TO his old home.
The wish was fulfilled and to-day
Gods Acre in River Falls holds all
that remains of him whom we loved.
Memory's wallis are thickly COW
cred with pictures of the boy Frank
whose ringing laugh and CHEEKY
greetings were given US in the days
long since gone by; of the young
man who was often in our home,
and of the brotherly thought and
care for the little ones that were
ours; of the older man upon whom
came the care of his mother, to
whom, never was son more loyal
in word, thought and deed than he.
There are also pictures of his good
ness, his thoughtfulneSs of his
cheerful acceptance of life's cares,
his sacrifices and his unfulfilled
hopes. His last visit TO us, one
year ago, was a revelation of the
man Frank, giving us an insight
into his character hitherto un-
known and for which, in the light
of the long separation that has
come, we are thankful. He has
gone, and 1.-THE place which knew
him shall know him no more for
ever" but the place which he held
in our hearts will never be vacant.
He died among strangers but
friendly hands ministered TO his
needs and we know that those who
knew him best in his far-distant
home are to-day mourning the loss
of friend. His life was SO true,
his heart was SO great, his deeds
were so kind, and his ways were so
pleasant, may we be ready to clasp
glad hands with him when time
brings us to the waiting boatman,
waiting to take us over the river,
for we follow that way"
To each and all who assisted to
brighten the last sad service for
our brother, we extend our heart
felt thanks and appreciation.

The shortage in the wheat CROP

The shortage in the wheat crop
will not rebound to the serious in
jury of the farmers. If half crop
brings over a dollar bushel it is
better than a full crop at half that
price. Aside from the expense of
harvesting and marketing the full
crop there is another feature of the
case that requires considerations:
When there is an abundant crop of
wheat that cereal is low in price, as
a matter of course, and other grains
are low in sympathy with wheat.
But when wheat is high other grains
corn, oats, barley, rye, buck
wheat, etc. are also high. So the
farmers of Pierce and St. Croix
counties will be better off from the
shortage of wheat this fall. They
raised no wheat of consequence so
they will lose nothing on failure
of the crop, having no wheat in,
bat the grains they do raise, and of
which there is an average crop, are
high in price. Wheat is now about
ST .O8; oats about 5 81; rye SOS; bar
ley $40. Compare these prices
with what was paid for the same
grains here in 1895 or 1896 when
crops were abundant, and it will
be seen that the farmers get much
more money for their crops this fall
than then, when there was so much
raised it went to waste.
If it does not necess arily require
all kinds to make world" they
are found in society as constituted.
One of these kinds that makes you
tired to excessive lassitude is the
fellow who everlastingly persists in
Haunting his ignorance in the face
of the community, as if it were a vir-
tue, something to brag of. This
exploitation of ignorance is q use
less extravaganza, wanton waste
of wind. Your ignorance, like your
other sins, will be sure to find you
out without vociferous announce
ment from the housetop. An Hi
nois "divine" down in Egypt"
preached one Sunday in denuncia-
ton of Pride" We do not now
remember his text C whether he
got it from the Bible or the wood
pile. He elaborated on the Attic
tons" of people who prided them
selves on their accomplishments or
possessions and thanked God that
he was not like them. One of the
counts in his plea of abatement was
this: Some folks ere proud of their
edication, but l thank God l haint
got no edication to be proud on. !"
A youngster in Vermont town was
often accused of being fool, an
impeachment to which he some
times pleaded guilty and sometimes
demurred. His mother told him it
was his mouth that gave him away.
It was lett too much ajar. The
next time he went to town he closed
and fastened the cavernous aper-
ture in his coun tenance and when
addressed he "just laughed and
that was all he said" Finally some
one casually remarked: THAT boy
must be a fool" Reaching home
he whiningly said: Mother, they
found it out and l didn't say
word"

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:


In this age when newspapers and
magazines are published in such
numbers it is often more Of a ques-
ton how best to select than it would
be were the number less than it is.
A good family paper should be
terse, accurate, Ineligible and
couched in such phraseology as to
make it interesting to young and
old.
The Little Chronicle published in
Chicago meets these requirements
in an exceptional manner. 1t gives
the news of the week in such form
as to make it readily available to
the busiest people and yet suff1-
GENTLY in detail so far as the essen
tials are concerned to make it of
the greatest value even to people
who have the leisure to read much.
l have had the paper in my home
and consider it in every way ex-
cel1ent. l heartily recommend it
for the school and the family.
