Cut If Out.

The late Senator Hoar was informed
that a very dear friend was seriously
i'll with appendicitis.
He had hardly finished his note of
sympathy when he was informed that
it was an attack of acute indigestion
instead, and so he sent the following:
Dear Al am sorry to hear that you
are i'll, hut rejoiced to learn that the
trouble is with the table of contents

THE WINE OF SUMMER
THE American Farmer.l

The season now passing will Ions
linger with the people of the United
States. We are living right In the
center of the warm heart OF year OF
plenty. The country is full to over
flowing of good things, and happy is he
who has the temperament to enjoy
them to the full. Never was the corn
SO tall. Field after field, mile after
mile. acre after acre extending In un-
broken lines as tar as the eye can reach
or the train can go. 1t is season of
fairness and fullness, of fruit and fIui-
tion. of mellowing rains and life-g giving
sunlight. Abundant harvests of wheat
and oats and hay have already been
gathered and old King Corn. twelve
feet high, is marching on to the great
est of all his conquests. 1t is great
thing to live in the country when life
Is ripe and young. We are there
again IN fancy, if not in person, and
recall all the endearing recollections of
childhood. They embrace blackberry
patch, full of busy pickers, loud
shouts of merIiment and timld glances
under bushes for dreaded snakes. There
are rides on the hay cocks and barns
to play In, without which it is impos
sible to know what summer really Is.
Only little children, in the big, breezy
country, can fully feel the throbbing
heart of this grand world of ours.
There Is the true call of the wild, the
animal and vegetable kingdom at their
best, when all of the passionately
beautiful signals of nature ale sounded
in harmonious union. Happy the
children WITH an indulgent father or
kind old uncle, who hauls them up,
shrieking with delight, on the pulley
that manipulates the hayfork and al
lows them TO slide down the haysrack.
Who does not recall the tangle yellow
cuTls, fat brown legs and sparkling
blue eyes of the young baIbaflans all
at play.

spring had already grown too large to
be handled, the wabbly calves were big
and rough and the colts had lost their
intantile gracefulness, hut these were
forgotten in the abundant joys of
advancing summer to be seen ON every
hand. OF course, there can never be
such orchards as there were then, all
up on hillsldes where the apples rolled
down TO hundreds of yards when
shaken off. Who ever sees June
apple anymore, or peafmain or
rusticoat? And who ever enjoys an
apple like the one plucked after climb

CLAIMS ISLAND FOR STATE.
Storm at Superior Cuts OFF End of
Minnesota Point.

Storm at Superior Cuts OFF End of
Minnesota Point.
During the recent storm the lake
washed a new entrance through Min
nesOta Point to the bay. and now the
contention is made by Col. Hiram
Hayes of Superior that the slice OF
land cut off by the new entry belongs
to the State of Wisconsin,. Col. Hayes
is an authority on the subject.
Several years ago the question was
raised and the government decided
that the mouth of the st. Louis river
was the boundary line between Wis
cOnsin and Minnesota and the mouth
of the river was held to be the natur-
al or Superior entry to the bay, thus
giving nearly the whole point to Min
resota. When the Duluth canal was
built the subject was again brought
up and threshed over, but without
change being made.
The action of the storm in making
a natural entry has caused Col Hayes
TO bring up the question again and he

state. and that it should be in the
corporate limits OF the city of Supe-
