CROPS AND PROSPERITY.

Baltimore American Wheat, corn,
Oats-each q OF these three cereals
promises to be a record breaker this
year, according to estimates made
from reports as to the condition from
the August crop statistics of the Ag-
Ticultural Department. The winter
wheat crop has been harvested, and
the estimate of..A24, O0O, 900 bushels,
IL accurate. brings the yield within
130,OOO,OOO bushels of last years en-
tire crop. From the high average
condition reported, the spring wheat
yield may easily pass, $4,000, 900
bushels, ard il so the wheat crop for
1906 will make a new high record.
The corn crop, from the present pros
poets, may reach 100, DOC, 600 bushels
and the oat crop may score a round
billion Of bushels. Taken altogether,
the prospects undoubtedly r that
this will be the most phenominally
abundant of all crop years which the
United States has eve known.
Great crops of wheat, corn and
oats, mean that there will be unus-
ually large snrplusSeS to sell abroad,
and this means increasing activity
during the next II monshs for the
railroads and the steamship lines.
In Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri
and in southern illinois and southern
Indiana, the wheat and corn crops
1 both phenominally large this
year, and this vast middle west ter
Iitory is closer to Baltimore by rail
than to any other q tlantic port.
Nothing but an unfairly balanced
differential can rob this port OF trans
p0rtation advantages which natural
~ belong here. The eastward owe
ment OF wheat should begin shortly,
and the overland freigatage of oats
and corn follow in cue order. The
seaboard lines connecting with the
anterior will probably need the full
compliment of e rolling stock
which has been added to their
equipment during the past twelve
months, for the moving of the 1905
crops.
Even the prospect Of abundant har-
vests sends hope and courage throb-
hing through all forms of multiplied
industries. Not the railroads and
the steamships alone Will be affected
by the great crops, but the manufac-
turing industries in all divisions and
Specifications will take on an added
impulse. The country merchant will
enlarge his stocks, and the wholesale
merchant will widen the sphere Of
his trade, feeling confident thai pay
ments will be met promptly because
the crops are good. The industrial
fabric Of a great nation is a compli-
Gated mechanism, but the agricul-
tural industries constitute the motive
power that keeps the wheels OF in
dustrialism turning. Nothing can
Illustrate the fact better than does
the bouyant tone given to all forms
Of business, merely from fine crop
expectations.

The air is sizzling hot between the
offices OF the Pierre Daily Dakotan
and the Pierre Capital-Journal, not
withstanding the two editors stand
in the relationship of brothers-in-law.
The trouble is over the action OF the
city council with reference to the
grades OF the streets. Editor Bill

the council and Editor Nipple is
throwing the harpoon into the alder

is war to the knife between them

The peace conference is to end
Monday. Such is the statement that
comes from Portsmouth. Whether
it will end without peace being really
reached or whether so much will be
done at the conference that it can be
concluded in other WAYS is not stated.
Russia is looking .-after the long end
OF the bargain, which is but natural,
but they are pretty well matched by
Japan as usual in, standing for her
demands with just enough to yield
to make it easier for Russia to ac-
cepI. Che financial world seems to
have as much influence on forcing
the peace terms as anything, partic-
ularly with Russia who is dependent
on other countries for her money to
continue the war, and with no avail
able funds the lighting will naturally
come to an end.

South Dakotans denote their pros
perity by having a general good time
late in the summer and fall of the
year. In a great many towns, which
are small liz population, street fairs,
and carniyals have been the rule for
the latter part of the summer, and
they are Increasing in number as the
fall months approach. County fairs
are the next in order, and all of
these are attended by South Dako-
tans who want to take a short yaca-
tion from work. All the South Da-
kota people want is a chance to spend
their money and they will do it with
d cheerful hand.

There are but six weeks until
Mitchell's big corn palace will be
opened to the public in the new
building which is now being erected
for that purpose. When it is all fin
ished and decorated it will cost close
to ? 10000 and as an investment it
will prove d paying one for the state.
There is nothing in the northwest
that draws so we'll as the corn pal
ace, for it is made up Of legitimate
and first class attractions, and it IS
not the idea to get anything cheap
merely to I'LL in the time. This is
aptly demonstrated in securing the
Banda Rosa and the great scenic
production, the Resurrection of
Christ. After the harvest is all over
the people will be ready for some rec
relation aud the corn palace offers the
best of anything in the surrounding
territory.

THE CHINESE WIFE.
She Is Usually Found Chaste, Constant
 and Affectionate.

Paul. Stuart Hunter In The Pilgrim.
 The Chinese wife is nearly always con- stant, chaste and affectionate. Chinese stories like to dwell on the love of wo- men that has no limit. This is why wdowhood is revered and suicide on the part of the bereaved woman is not con- demned in the. old classics. 1t Is because of this general acknowledgment of the unwavering constancy of wives that the tickle woman is held up to scathing sa- fire in their plays and proverbs. 1t was from Chinese story that Voltaire drew his inspiration for the tale of the woman who promised her husband on his death bed that she would not marry till his grave was dry, and was found next day flaming the mound to hasten the drying process
 Much of this contentment on the part of the Chinese women may. no doubt, arise from the common interest of the husband and wife in the growing family. You will often see fathers wheeling baby carriages along the streets, just as you may see older sisters carrying the little

Mrs. Wilson Woodrow has given a reasonable touch to her Con versations With Egeria." which is the best in the series. Anna O'Hagan con- tinues her account of the adventures of "Ellen Berwick" and continues to hold the readers interest strongly.

WITH THE MAGAZINES
December "Harper's"

The reader who opens the Christmas number of Harper's Magazine will doubt less exclaim over its beauty. The color work arrests the eye at once, and later the attention is caught by the list of writers contributing to this number; Maurice Maeterlinck Grover Cleveland, Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, Booth Tarlsington, Jack London. Eliza beth Stuart Phelps, Harriet Prescott Spofford Edmund Gosse, Mary E. Will kns Freeman. Henry Mills Alden, Ernest Rhys Henry w. Nevinson, Prof. Thomas R. Lounsbury, Mary R. s. Andrews, Jo- sephine Preston Peabody, and many others The reproductions of Howard Pyle's four paintings, Illustrating hls own article on "rhe Fate of Treasure Town are remarkable color work. In the delin- cation of the picturesque and tropical buc- cancer, no living painter can compete with Pyle. A delightful interlude in this number Is the group of eight color pict- ures of children, from paintings by Eliza beth Shipper Green who has proved her self the poet painted of childhood. Her pictures are In perfect accord with Miss Peabody's child poems, for which they were painted. In addition there are many pictures In tint by well known artists. MT Nevinsons article on the African slave trade reveals still further the shock ing atrocities of the present traffic. In
 'The Language of the Trails" Ernest Harold Baynes traces in the snow the evi- dences of animal comings and goings, and the inevitable tragedies of wild life. It is illustrated with winter landscapes In tint. From Maeterlinck's essay on Immortality" through Grover Cleve- lands plea for the protection of the in tegrity of the American character. to Mark Twain's intensely funny Ewes Diary" and the "Study'' and Easy Chair" and the Drawer" nothing has been omitted from this number that would make 1t readable.

AT LAST
 REACHES ARIZONA Commands Respect, Although an UnweIcome innovation BROUGHT BY TOURISTS Before Their Coming the Nickel Was the Smallest coln In Common
 Use and Postmaster Kept
 the Change"

Phoenix Ariz.-Phoenix Is fast becom- ing a penny town. That does not mean that it is getting to be a smaller place, but in the matter of manners and cus- toms a larger and more important place.
 It has not been many years since penny was a curiosity in Arizona, and 1t Is still rare in some of the mountain towns. In those days a quarter was small change and nickles were only good to give to the children. They were even looked upon as small for the contribution box.
 But those days have changed. The change was brought about partly by the department stores, which thought to drive competition closer. but more by the winter tourist army which visits the southwest.
 It is not that they are less liberal than other persons. but they use pennies at home all the time and have them in their pockets when they come to Phoenix.
 Though there are few things advertised outside of the dry goods line in which the penny Is a unit of value, 1t Is always good at the postoffice, and every tourist does business with the postoffice first and other places afterward.
 It did rot take long for many of the home people to "get the habit" and now most anybody can produce penny If he tries, though it is still the habit of the old settlers to tell the postmaster or clerk to keep the change.
 In the winter the postoffice is flooded with pennies for the tourists leave theirs. An old settler who gets them on the out side in trade or any other place, offers them to the postmaster. or gives them to somebdy else who does, when he would not think of showing pennies anywhere else in town.
 But in the summer the pennies flow out again with the flight of the tourists, and by midsummer the postoffice has to hunt fer small change. sending to other towns for pennies.
 Tucson does all 1t can to discourage the penny, and in this 1t has the moral sup port of the old timers It Is related that near the depot at Tucson is curiosity shop that travellers often visit while their trains are being made up in the yards and that not infrequently woman will pick out a post card or two and offer to pay for 1t In pennies, whereupon the dealer responds that that kind of money Is not good in that city, but If she Is anxious for the card he will give It to her.

fellows, or mothers taking them on visit to their neghbor for a mutual com parison of baby ailments and engaging traits. Until his school days begin the little boy does about as he pleases. but as soon as his days of study begin he Is put under very strict discipline.
 Girl babies are less welcome arrivals in family than their little brothers es- pecially If there be several of them al- ready. Among the very poor people in times of famine girls are sometimes sold into slavery by their parents, both to res cue the rest of the family and the girls themselves from starvation. The lot of the slave girl is hard one. She has none of the rights of free woman. But 1t ought to be added that the Chinese look on this custom with great disfavor. A slave owner is nearly always thor oughly hated individual in the commun-

Admits There Are Others.

After a while this high authority con scnted to tell his opinions of some other actors.
 "In stage dressing for men," he said, ] with simper, there are two divisions. MT. Drew is one. All the other actors make up the rest
 i MT. Miller Is very good example of an American actor dressed in the En- glish style. Nobody would ever suspect him Of being turned out by a London tailor. Yet he Is as well dressed speci- i men of the pseudo-London tailored man as know of. There is. of course. the je ne sais quoi about him that shows the ] American origin of his dressing. His i trousers are for instance, too tight about ! the boot frequently, and his coats are sometimes likely to be cut in too close l to the waist. Then he pulls his ties so ught that he lacks the easy elegance of a Londoner who dresses carefully
 That is one of the striking differences l between Englishmen and Americans. 1 Whenever man here wants to dress well
 he thinks he must pull his tie so tight 1 that his eyes pop out of his head Mr.
 Miller Is an excellent example of the
 well dressed man of native origin who would never be mistaken for anything else'
 The speaker paused here to explain that he considered the Englishmen the best dressed people in the world But there are. of course, all kinds of | tailors in England" he went on Look. l for instance. at William Faversham, He is dressed in London, but certainly not by tailor of the first class. The same is 1 true about Frank Worthing. He is of course, not the kind of figure to show off clothes of any kind.
