ADVANTAGE OF BEING SICK.

One of the greatest difficulties in
life is illness when the hands are full
OF work and of business requiring at
tention. In many cases the strain
and anxiety, which causes resistance
to the Illness, is even more severe,
and makes more trouble than the i'll
ness itself.
Suppose, for instance, that a man
il taken down with the measles, when
he feels that he ought to be at his Of

American lady, or, better, his royal
mother.
Verify the king is a king. and is
sovereign of his people, first in their
hearts. He is one of the most royal
kings England ever possessed
as royal as Henry VIII. in his love of
ceremonials; and he is the most dem
ocratic king,as democratic as an
American President. And he is a
thoroughly good fellow, no matter
where you find him. Hands across
the sea, and let us all sing For he is
a jolly good fellow" and every inch
a king.

Trying Fly Days.

1t is worth knowing for the fly days

Spanking does not cure children of

is constitutional cause for this. Mrs.

At the Treasury Department it is said

IOWA CROP BULLETIN.
Conditions in the State as Noted by
the Weather Bureau.

Des MONIES, Aug. 2-Though slight
ly cooler than usual, the last week in
July was generally favorable for nar-
vest operations and normal advance
ment Of immature crops. The rain.
fall was light in four-fifths of the
state, and excessive in small areas in
the central and northern sections.
Except in scattered localities, the
weather conditions were favorable for
securing hte bulk of the hay crop in
excellent condition, and all reports In
dictate that the quality is superior to
the output of recent years. The oats
harvest is practically completed ex.
cept in the northern counties, and
threshing from the shock is in pro-
gress. The quality of the grain is up
nearing completion, and numerous re-
ports are received of serious damage
by blight and rust, which will mater
tally lessen the yield and impair the
quality of the grain, The barley crop
is fairly good.
Corn is making very good progress
in all parts of the state, the more ad-
vanced portion Of the crop being
about normal in size and caring heav-
lily. The potato crop is doing well,ex.
cept in a few localities where it is
affected by rot. The apple crop main
tains it's early promise, except where
the fruit has been blown off by high

and no way to get around them. So
a traveller either had to go back or go
through the mud and water, which
was about knee deep. AS I came to
this awful mud hole I saw at once
couldn't get through. There was a
good-natured old farmer at work on
the other side, making ditch for the
water to run from one field to the
other, so l called to him to come and
carry me across. Well, was not a
little surprised when I saw him start
towards me. After wading the dis
lance of about leo feet he came to the
place where 1 was standing and said:
How much do you weigh, young
man." about 140 pounds" re-
piled with a smile. Get on my back
then" responded the old man, as he
stopped to let me climb on. was
not slow in mounting, and away he
started with the writer on his back,
laughing as though his sides would
break. We hadn't gone far until the
farmer said would have to stop
laughing or ne couldn't carry me. 1
tried to behave, but in spite of myself
I would laugh as heard the old man
blowing and saw him wobbling from
side to side. The thing wondered at
was if my faithful servant would fall,
who would be on top. Well, on we
went, and about here there is a miss
