TALK.

Senator Beverage was condemn.
ing a VIGOROUSLY corrupt and notori-
ously plausible capitalist. THE man
speaks WELL said Senator Beyeridge.
He promises much. If he acted as
he talked, he would be famous for
his goodness. But, alas, he is like
the German who nearly lost his
daughter.
This German, with his daughter,
was walking beside a deep stream on
summer afternoon when the young
girl, slipping on a stone, fell in.
And she would have drowned but for
the prompt bravery of a youth. He,
slipping OFF coat and shoes. plunged in.
and after four or FIVE minutes of hard
work, brought the girl safe ashore.
THE old German father was trans.
ported
Undetermined youth said he,
we do indeed owe you debt OF
gratitude. A hundred thousand marks
or my daughters hand-choose!
Which shall it be?'
"The youth, who was no less wise
than brave, thought to himself that if
he took the daughter he would some
day get the money also. and accord
ingly, without a moments hesitation.
he made answer:
I choose your daughter
A wise choice said the old
father. I could not have given you
the hundred thousand marks, for I
am only poor cobbler; but you shall
have the girl, and that gladly Join
hands, dear children, and receive my
blessing.

Never since John NJ. True has been
secretary of the state board OF az
riculture has a state farm crop re-
port been so favorable as that is
sued yesterday for the month of
August. The only adverse reports
from the entire state are to the eff
feet that in some localities in the
southern part of the state there has
been not as much rain as could be
desired, some pastures have suffered
in consequence and growth of some
crops retarded; and The apple crop
has as usual been hurt by insects and
falling of the immature fruit. In
general the report is exceedingly
favorable as indicating a very profit
able season for the farmer The
report is as follows:

HIGH TIDE AT A NEGRO REVIVAL

There was a sound Of scuffling feet
through the church. The congregation
swayed, forward and back. to and fro.
They were making a moaning sound
like a heavy wind In the distance,
Their voices, on certain deep marmon-
ious sounds, now sounded incessantiv
along the seekers bench and through
the room, tremulous, regularly vibr IT
ing, on not more than three tones or
four with a sound like the Urder-done
OF mOnsterous bagpipe. At times
this droning rose almost to a chant,
at times it died away to one or two
deep, resonant mems voices. a bass
and a baritone. A womans voice, as
if in obligato to the strange melody,
rose steadily and softly through the
voices of the entire chorus, like a
clear, snrill little silver bell, ringing
in a chime of bronze and copper, deep
toned and heavy bells, not rung. but
set into sonorous murmur and trem-
ulous vibration by the vino through
an old gray minister tower. | did not
know the air she carried it; she prob
ably improvised it as she sang. 1t was
like one clear violin string played n
an orchestra uf viols, the sleepy, muir
muring, bumblebee sound OF dozen
viols d'amour, and the grumble of a
score of huskily whispering double
basses. The sound was, perhaps, that
OF some primitive Dostan u Ionian
chant Steadily above it the preacher
went on, chanting his Ambrosian
measures. his imprisoned flow of
crudest eloquence. grotesque yet i'm
pressive rushing on unchecked.

TO you proud state of northern birth
lean with kindred pride;
Your fame throughout the world is great,
Well known both far and wide.
Your ozone air brings health and strength,
Your soil great harvests yield;
Your growth of naples far excels
In beauty most ideal.
And waters-I almost hesitate
Their praise to make attempt;
Could elysian fountains ere flow
Purer beverage through natures vent
Your dwellers rich in honest worth
With future hopes endowed,
That their delightful state shall be
First and foremost in the crowd.
MINE-oHIo.
NV state abounds in lofty hills
Growing valleys in verdure green;
And woods with perfumed locust trees
O'er hanging winding streams
She too is proud of enriched soil,
Her fields full plenty grow;
And brave hearts work with will and
pride
Honor upon her to bestow
Her views of landscape near and far
Exceis i'm artists fame;
Her bridges uniting Kentucky 5 shores
Offers south TO North welcome lane.
Within her bounds hearts true as gold
Their prayers upward send
To Him for every precious loan
Which lie sees at to lend
Then sister mine, let constant flow
Harmonious concord sweet;
SO can welcome you to mine
And claim yours my retreat.
