GOOD RAIN FALL.

Wheat Raisers Will Be- Busy During
Next Two Weeks.
The prospect for an increased acreage
Of wheat for tie coming season Is now
very good. The rain fall Of last night
amounted to an inch and half and
leaves the ground in good condition.
There is quite a large acreage OF seed
wheat In the ground now and the wheat
raisers will be busy for the next two
weeks putting In more.
The rain fell slowly and all soaked Into
the ground and the soil will be In fine
condition. The high price Of seed wheat
may prevent some from sowing as ex-
tenslvely as they would otherwise but
there will be a good big acreage.

Story Got the MOnev

So apt was the story told by the
Rev. Robert S. Macarthur in the pull
pit last Sunday that it resulted in one
of the largest collections of the year,
says the New York Times. He spoke
in warm terms of the character of
John Eliot, the missionary to the In
dams, one of whose most lovable
traits was an unbounded generosity.
"Out of his salary of fifty pounds a
year he gave large sums to charity"
said DR.. Macarthur. con one occa-
sion the secretary Of the Society of the
Propagation of the Gospel, when pay
ing Eliot his quarterly stipend, sought
to do him a service. He hit upon
plan of safeguarding the missionary's
money, knowing that in all likelihood
Eliot otherwise would give away every
penny of it before he reached his
home" (Here Dr. Macarthur stepped
forward to the side of the pulpit and

This was the road between the silver
And the old smelter, twenty years ago:
A fading path beneath the slender pines
And the far SUBMITS of eternal snow,
Here where the iron-roofed sheds have
dropped to rust,
The quest of treasure claimed mans
Drawn and nerve;
The transfers whiplash cracked through
clouds of dust
And the long mule team swung The

Unvexed the meadow-larS his anthem
To-day where yonder silvery aspens

The underbrush grows thick as sum-
mers pass;
The ruts grow fainter with each win
ter snow;
And creeping ferns and flowers and
mountain grass
Blot out the road men Travelled years
ago.
No more the rumbling. Earring wagons
bear
Their freight of wealth. Abandoned
lie the mines.
No more the fevered throngs come
