We are having plenty of rain at
this writing. Everything is grow
ing nicely. Wheat will be ready
to harvest in a few weeks. Then
the little brown jug will come
handy filed with clear water or
red eye. Some prefer the latter.
Some say that gin is good for
rheumatism; others say that beer
is the best, for it fattens them up.
We do not know which is the bet
ter, but we have seen some fellows
loaded up.
Hiram McCune says that his
hired girl can plant more hills of
cucumbers in space Of ground
2x5 TT. than any person he ever
saw. We forget the number of
hills, but it is about SO or go hills.
We have all kinds of delegates in
this country. Delegates to the
Democratic Convention and dele
gates to the Republican conven-
tion and delegate to-, which
was held At, May 1905. The
last named delegate is the one of
whom We wish to speak. While
riding on an interurban car be-
tween Springfield and Dayton, o.,
blast of wind blew this dele
gates hat out of the window.
The conductor cav the hat leave
the car and stopped and told the
delegate to get off and get it. He
got off like good boy and when
about rod from the car, it start
ed. He watched the car till il
disappeared in the distance. He
started back to look for his hat
and could not find II. He went to
the station thot they bad just
passed and two gentlemep were
standing there with hat which
they did not need. Seeing this
gentleman approaching barehead-
ed, they made him tender of the
hat. He took it gladly and plac-
ed it on his tow head and he had
a smile on his face as wide as a
hroad-ax. He says after this
when he is delegate or anything
else and his hat blows out of the
car, hs will stick TO the sushion.
