GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. - MY
DEAR OLD MAN: BY ginger, but /
would like to be home now. | have
had enough of foreign travel; l don't
see what is the use of travelling, to see
people of foreign countries, when you
can go to any large city in America,
and find more people belonging to any
foreign country than you can find by
going to that country, and they know
a COMPOUNDED sight more. Take the
Russians in New York, the Norwegians
Of Minnesota, the Italians of Chicago,
and the Germans in Milwaukee, and
they can talk English, and you can find
out all about their own countries by
talking with them, but you go to their
countries and the natives don't know
that there is such a language as the
United States language, and they laugh
at you when you ask questions. / am
sick of the whole business, and would
give all l ever expect to be worth, to
be home right now, with my skates
sharp.
/ would like to open the door of your
old grocery, and take one long breath,
ard die right there on the doorstep,
rather than to live in luxury in any for
eign country. Do you know, | sometimes
go into a grocery store abroad, and
smell around, in order to get my
thoughts on dear old America, but
nothing abroad smells as the same
thing does in our country. If l could
get one more smell of that keg of
sauerkraut back of your counter, when
it is ripe enough to pick, l think
would break right down and cry for
JOY. Of course l have smelled sauer-
kraut over here, but it all seems new
and tame compared to yours. 1t may
be the kraut here is not aged enough
to be good, but yours Is aged enough
to vote and sticks to your clothes.
Gee, but I just ache to get into your
grocery and eat things, and smell
smells, and then lay down on the
counter with the cat with my head on
pile of wrapping paper and go to
sleep and wake up in America, an
American citizen, that no king or
queen can tell to "hush up and take
off my hat when I want my hat on.
You may wonder how we got out of
Monte Carlo. when we had lost

every day. A soft horse may shrink SO
much in one hard, hot days work that
the collar will be too loose and large ard

The best way to judge wheat bran
is to chew little of it, and if it

AFTER FAITHFUL SERVICE.
]. w. p. johnson. Custodian of City
Gun For Many Years, Resigns.

With the final salute in honor of the
visiting Grand Army veterans, yester-
day, j. W. P. Johnson of this city
completed his service as custodian of
the city gun, over whose destinies he
has faithfully watched for a full quar-
ter of a century. Mr.. Johnson has been
in charge of the gun which is A.
pound field piece, since 1880. and he has
served with it on many memorable and
history-making occasions. and one of
the most notable features of his long
record is that he has never yet met
with an accident while in the dis
charge of his duties, which is more es-
peCially noteworthy considering the
fact that he has shot over 5000 rounds
from the gun.
An artilleryist in the Civil war. his
experience stood him in good stead
when he took charge of the old gun.
% years ago. and Mr.. Johnson de-
serves communication for his faithful
ness to Il city office, which. while it is
recognized only through courtesy it is
none the less one that is highly regard
ed By all for the sentiment to which It
IS attached. Mr.. Johnson formally
turned the gun over to Mayor Knight
AFTER the arrival of the Boston visitors.

committed upon the person of the COM
plainant. Mrs. Jackson. who. by the
way. is the former wife of Holbrook
Holbrook was represented by counsel
and the defence attempted to show
that no assault had occurred, although
i. was admitted that the respondent
might have pushed" Mrs. Jackson
away from him, when it was alleged
that she had attacked him. Mrs. Jack
son testified as to the assault. When
all the evidence had been summed up,
Judge Larrabee decided that he would
not hold Holbrook on the charge, but
warned both parties that if either We're
brought before him on any charge. at
any time in the future, he would i'm
pose as heavy a sentence as the law
provided. it was the old story of a
family row-although in this case it
was more of an "eX-family" affair.

Have Been DispeIled.

st. Paul, Mimi. Aug. a4.-All appre-
hension over the wheat crop of the
Northwest for this season has been
dispelled, and the yield for Minnesota
and the Dakotas can be fairly esti-
mated. During the past week the re-
turns from the threshing machines
have proved a surprise. The yield of
wheat is greater per acre than for sew
eral years. and the quality Is far SUI
perior to the average. A conservative
estimate by the best crop authorities
apportions the spring wheat yield Of
the three states thus. compared with
the yield of 1904:

In the aggregate $163,500,000 for their
