Don Juan Luan.

On the coast of the Gulf of Mexico
Lived brave little Mexican lad;
His mother had died when young
And all that was left was his dad.
His dad was Mexican bold;
He never cared what he done.
He'd steal fine horse; money of course
Or kill any one 'cept his son.
This Mexican man, Don Juan Luan, y
Loved this lad Jose
And built for him among the rocks
A hut SO nice and cozy.
Jose asked his father to please be good
And he answered slow, wicked grin
That never would he stop, no never
Until death should take him from sin,
Alas! Death came one night to him
AS he was resting in his bed,
And when Jose awoke next morn
He found Don Juan Luan dead.

Seven years ago today, May
2, was fought the battle of
Manila bay, and the orient was
the scene of the victory of the
American navy over the Span
lsh forces, and was the begin
ming Of a new era in the far
east by the United States. The
question of what is to result
from that great victory is still
IN the future. 1t may rebound
to the advantage of our gov
eminent or it may be the be-
ginning of the end of civil and
religious liberty for the people
of this government. The re-
suit of that victory, although it
brought glory and renown to
our navy, may in the end bring
monarchy and political slavery
to our people. We may rejoice
at the success of Admiral
Dewey, but our people may yet
mourn over the result of his
great victory.

Northwestern Csateuplates n.

Washington, D. c., May L.
Congressman Martin of South
Dakota states that the Chicago
e. Northwestern Railroad COM
pany has under consideration
the advisability of sinking an
artesian we'll at Buffalo Gap in
Meade county, South Dakota,
for the purpose of obtaining a
supply of water for use in loco
motive engines. The engineers
of the company have fears that
if an artesian we'll should be
obtained the water would not
be suitable for engine use. Mr..
Martin has requested the geo.
logical survey to furnish any
information available on this
subject.
The director of the geological
survey states that there are
some grounds for the fears of
the Northwestern Railway COM
pany that artesian waters from
the Dakota sandstone at Buffalo
Gap might be to much minera-
LIED for engine use. The
waters from this source are
variable in character, but it is
believed that the chances are
very fair that the waters at
Buffalo Gap will be satisfactory
and it is thought that the pros
poets are sufficiently favorable
to merit a trial. {

For The week ending May /,
1905. Des Moines, Iowa.
The closing week in April in.
Dictated a trend toward normal
temperature. In the Mississ.
ippi valley the daily mean was
about 4 degrees above; in the
central district about normal.
and lin the Missouri valley
about a degrees below normal.
The rainfall was light in the
northern section; about normal
in the central, and somewhat
in excess of present needs in
portions of the southern Sec
ton.
Fair progress has been made
in farm work, except in the
localities where rainfall was ex-
cessive. Flowing for corn is
more than usually advanced
and if weather is warm and dry
planting will be afield in all
districts of the state the first
week in May. Reports from
the northwest and southwest
districts state that some farm
ers began planting as early as
April 9th.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye
are growing finely. Pastures
and meadows show a GOOD
stand of grass. Fruit trees
give promise of full bloom and
show but little damage by the
freezing. The general crop
situation is excellent.

Most people think white grapes
make white wines and dark grapes
make red wine" said vintner. THAT
is popular error. Red wine is made
by fermenting grape juice and grape
skins together, the skins giving the col
or, and white wine is made by fernent-
ing grape juice alone, The juice of
white and of dark grapes doesn't differ
in hue. In each sort of grape the juice
is almost colorless. like the weakest
lemonade. Champagne. one of the
dearest of the white wines, is made
from grape so dark as to be nearly
black. But the juice of that nearly
black grape is quite as pale as the juice
of the blondest white grape
