He Lets tho Other Follow Worry.

1t is well known that many men In
public life worry themselves almost sick
over the distribution OF ''plums' to
officeseckers. Senate Beveridge. au-
thor of The Russian Advance, lets
the other men do the worrying, and has
a method which Is illustrated by this
anecdote. He was receiving delegations
who We're booming various men for
postmasters in their respective towns.
Finally. IL delegation arrived from u
district where the fight for the post
mastershtp was very hot. The senator
listened intcntly to the eader's re-
marks. and replied:
II am going to decide this matter
your way" The man was delighted.
Yes" continued Senate Beveridge,
Il am going to submit the ase to you
and let you decide It," Whereupon
he recited one set OF facts after an
other, each time getting the leaders
crestfallen confirmation of the state
ments made. Finally. having calmly
made out his case. the senator said:
Now, what Is your decision?"
"Oh. hang it ALL" said the man, 'if
you're going to put it that way 1 sup
pose I'll have to say the other fellow
ought to have the office"
Very we'll" said the senator, II
shall. as / said, decide the case your
way" And the delegation. all except
the leader. went off laughing.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 8, '04.
Des Moines, Iowa,

The past week was very favorable for
farm work and normal growth of vegeta-
ton. There was an average excess of
8 to s degrees in the daily mean tenn
perature, and generally sufficient rain
fall to moisten the surface and quicken
growth of grain and grass. Except in a
few localities the rainfall has not been
sufficient to materially delay field work.
At the close of the week the tempera-
ture fell very near to the frost line in
northern districts, but there are no re-
ports of damage.
Very satisfactory advancement has
been made in blowing and preparing
ground for corn, and reports from all
districts Indicate that considerable
acreage has been planted under very
good conditions of soil. The bulk of the
corn area is likely to be planted earlier
than in recent seasons, and the acreage
will be increased. Oats and other
spring grain crops are making fairly
good stand. Pastures and meadows are
doing we'll. Except peaches and rasp-
berries, the prospect is very good for an
abundant yield Of fruit. A considerable
acreage Of potatoes is being planted.
