mHERE RAIN WAS WELCOME.

Lots Of people in the city have been
complaining nightly about the unusual
amount Of rain that has visited the
country this spring. Outside the city
one hears very little Of such talk. If
you want to know where the rain is
appreciated just get on train and ride
from Salt Lake to Ogden. Keep the
car window shade high and turn your
eyes on the valley. You viii see the
earth clothed in Iuxuriant verdure; you
will see cattle and horses standing
knee deep in rich grass; you will see
crops growing as they have rarely
grown in this section of the land.
No, the farmers emphaticaIIy are not
complaining about the rain. Here it is
nearly the middle of June, the month
described in the calendar as the first
of the summer. It has not been neces-
sary thus far to use a single drop of
irrigating water. The dry farmers are
not agricultural gamblers this year.
They are taking no chances. For many
of them heavy crops are as good as
made. All they will have TO do now will
be to gather them into their store
houses. Some fruits and vegetables
viii be a little late but they viii be all
the more appreciated when they do ar
rive.
It would be impossible to estimate the
value of the rains in dollars to the
farmers. Certainly the total would run
we'll up into the thousands. Dwellers
in the cities can afford to possess their
souls with patience. And even in the
cities the rains have been far from
vaIueless. Look at the great amount
of lawn and street sprinkling that has
been saved: compare the appearance Of
the lawns and the streets with their ap-
pearance in ordinary years. This spring
there is a restfuI freshness about them
that abUndantly cOmpensates for the
discOmforts Of the rain.
And did you ever see finer days than
Friday and yesterday? There is other
compensation for the showers. We ap-
pTeciate the sunshine so much more af-
ter the rain. The blue sky is all the
fairer when we see it again after days
of cloud. The bad weather was hard
on the resort managers, but there will
be plenty of bright days later on and
the people viii make up to them any
losses the early clouds may have
caused.

ceived only a temporary setback. The
same thing will be true of the packing
house business. There viii be tenn

the packing houses cleaned and kept
cleaned, with government inspectors

ials are used. confidence will be re-
stored and the business viii be bigger

The SENATOR FROM MARYLAND


BY curious turn Of the wheel of
fate the late Senator German Of Mary
land is succeeded i'm the upper house
of congress. after a lapse of a quar-
ter Of a century, by the man he dis
placed when he was first elected. Gov
eTnor Warf1eld's appOintee is William
Pinkney Whyte. who viii be So years
old next August. Mr.. Whyte's friends
charged German with treachery in the
campaign Of 1881 that resulted in Cor
mans election, displacing Whyte after
one term. The story runs that Cor
man was Whyte's manager and that
he was false TO him.
However that may be. whyte and
German became estranged and were
bitter enemies from 1881 up to the day
Of Germans death. The appointment
of Whyte is reported as giving entire
satisfaction in Maryland. The new
old senator is, in spite of his years. a
very active man. He has been before
the Maryland public for many years
and is universally respected. In addi-
ton to the senatOrship he has been a
member Of the state legislature, comp
troller Of the state treasury, governor
and attorney general Of Maryland and
delegate to various Democratic ma
tiOnaI conventions.
Nor is this the first time Mr.. Whyte
has been senator by appointment He
was appointed to the senate in 1858
and served a little more than a year.
It is thought that he will not be a
candidate before the legislature to sue
coed himself and that he was chosen
by Governor WarfeId partly on this
account. Thus all candidates, actual
and prospective, will have a fair field.

now 90, is to retire at the age of 20.
The New York Press suggests that. if
Taft should succeed Judge Brown, the
age average viii be reduced, but GER
tainly there will be an increase in the

Readers of McC1ure's Magazine will re-
call with a chuckle Of amused recOllec-
ton the figures Of Red Saunders. of the
Doctor. Of Wind River Smith and the
others. They will remember, and surely
smile as they do so, the story of the first
time Pets of the list, the hawk, the
bull snake and the bobcat and their en-
counter with the bulldog. They are not
likely TO forget the fight between the ram
and Foxey Bill. Indeed. the covers of
this book are full of fun for the people
who have read them before as well as for
those to whom they are new
Mr. Phillips is a humOrist Of a class
that finds Mark Twain as its first and

ingly well told. The illustrations are

''The Life Of a Star" by Clara Morris.
Published by Mcclure. Phillips & Co.
The volume Of "reminiscences of Clara
Norris which preceded the Life Of a
Star" was delightful surprise TO a pub
lie prepared for her surprising excellence
in only one art But the great actress
then demonstrated her right to place in
another branch Of art; for a style so IA
Gle and so smooth. so vivid and so
charming as hers entities her to a posi-
ton in the world Of letters. This new
book is quite as delightful as the first
one. Her own experiences as star are
scarcely less interesting than her reminis-
cences Of the great men and women
whom she had touched, or who had
moved her profoundly. The chapter on
Rachel. the first Of French actresses is
specially entertaining and suggestive So
lis the one on the younger Salvini on Dion
BouCicault on McKinley-indeed il is
difficult to discriminate when all is so
delightful. The book is sure to find a
warm welcome.

THE INTENSIVE METHOD.

The Southern farmer, even in Cobb
county, will have to cultivate fewer
acres and those more thoroughly, on
the intensive plan and thus get more
profitable results. Some of the richest
Farms in Cobb county were brought up
ito high state Of cultivation by letting
cattle pasture on them. Tn South CAL
itornia the average size of the farms is
only about 25 acres, although there are
vast stretches Of wheat fields in some
portions for instance, farther north in
the San Joaquin valley, where is loca-
ted 81 per cent. of the irrigated lands
of that State, the average size farm is
probably about 100 acres. The close
intensive method Of cultivation of the
small farms in South California make
the profits greater and the land more
productive. By having small farms the
people could live closer together, ena-
bling them to have better schools,
churches and other institutions that
will greatly aid the people to reach
state Of contentment and happiness.

MRS. GROVES HOUSE I
DESTROYED BY FIRE,
Caught from an Oil Stove.
Ah Insurance. of Six
Hundred Dollars.

Last Saturday, June 9th, the resi-
dence of Mrs. W. +. Groves and her
daughter, Miss Sallie Groves. at No.
408 Polk street, was destroyed by fire.
Mrs. Groves was taking little after
noon rest, and was aroused by the smell
of smoke and the cracking of fire, and
rushed out into the street crying, fire,
fire fire !" Her frantic screams struck
terror to the hearts of all within hear
ing distance, and neighbor ,mme-
diately telephoned the fire department.
Miss Sallie, who was busy in the yard,
was able to get out the hall tree and a
few trunks, with the assistance of neigh
bors. and the piano was carried out by
willing hands
Had not the fire OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ed promptly, Mrs. Groves would GER
tainly have also lost the historic dwell
ing at No. 406 Polk street, at present
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Starr,
and which was Gen. Sherman's head
quarters during the war. The saving
of this property is due entirely to the
well.directeo, effective efforts of the
Marietta firemen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Groves, who had
commenced housekeeping il portion
of the burned dwelling, lost their all
and had no insurance, but these young
people face their heavy loss cheerfully.
1t ia thought that curtain near the
cook stove must have caught fire and
the fame gathered strength from near
by objects and was not discovered until
it burst into an adjoining room and
was beyond control.
The insurance on the house was $500,
and on the furniture $500.
