John Poindexter Doesn't Think Much
Of Japan.
It is the opinion of John Poindexter.
as expressed in an article in the cur
rent Harper's Weekly, "The Menace
Of Japan" that if proper understand
ing (not alliance) could be reached
between America and certain other
countries, Japan could no longer
figure as the danger spot of interna-
tional peace which was necessary ev-
cry day to paint over with humiliat-
ing coat of the softest SOAP"
=. Sentimental alliances amuse the
author, and he says that no Western
power could get any effective assist
ance from Japan in case of trouble in
the West; whereas, the West might
very reasonably be called upon to fur
nish practical assistance in case CT
trouble out here, since they have
certain amount of force here.
ION the other hand, no thinking man
believes for one moment that either
England or France intends to make
good the windy sentiment of their
written alliances by lending military
force to Japan as against any Western
power with which she may wish to
embroil herself"

Most Of the states Of the union felt
the unusually severe winter Of 1867,
and the effects Of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent.
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was a nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was In
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling Of dread existed, and the
fears were entertained that the crop of
corn. wheat, oats and barley would
be a distinct failure. How far this was
the case is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur-
ally the same conditions were preva.

was nervous one and caused consid-
cradle indecision on the part of friends
and others intending to follow. Those
interested in injuring the country cir
culated stories of ruin and disaster,
but the effect was lost, as it had been
long enough in the limelight to prove
its high standing amongst the agri-
cultural sections of the continent. The

too great; it has shown that the faith
placed in it has been warranted, and
1t is this year producing undoubted ev-
:dence that in agricultural possibili-
ties and resources it stands among the

delayed seeding from the usual early
April period until late in May, and in
many cases we'll on into June. And
with what result? 1t is little early
to tell the result, but that there will

CHAPTER Viii.
His Welded Wife.

John Wilson, III the excitement of
his escape from Dartmoor and his Ella
ton at the strange turn which his for.
tunes had taken, had not troubled to
think of anyone but himself.
For some months before his enlist.
ment he had practically deserted the
girl who had been foolish enough to
marry him in spite of the opposition of
her father-a small shopkeeper in a
country town.
May Hetley had ESQ of her own in
savings bank-it was money left her
by an aunt. John Wilson, who had oh.
tanned situation with a local horse
dealer, got to know May, and hearing
of her wealth" made desperate love
to her.
The girl was fascinated by the hand
some young man, and fell an easy prey
to the wiles of the impecunious ad.
venturer. She believed that he really
loved her; she knew that she really
loved him, and when he asked her to
marry him she needed little pressing.
She had never told her lover that her
father strongly objected to him. She
had hoped that the parental views
would change.
The young man had therefore looked
upon the match as desirable in more
ways than one. His wife would have
money of her own and a father who
was reckoned well off, and might be
relied upon to do the right thing by his
only daughter.
But old Mr.. Hetley turned out to be
the old-fashioned stern parent.
When May married John Wilson and
went off to London with him to spend
the honeymoon, sending her father a
pretty. contrite little letter, the reply
she received shattered all the hopes
the bridegroom had formed in that di.
rection.
Mr.. Hetley told his daughter plainly
that he thought she had made terri.
bic mistake. He would always be glad
to see her, but he must decline to have
anything to do with her husband.
1t was a great blow to May, but she
was passionately in love with the man
she had married, and she refused to
think any evil of him.
The awakening was a rude one
When the money she had brought him
was gone, Wilson suggested she should
go back to her father for time while
he looked about for something to do.
He was going to Yorkshire, where be
had friends, he told her. and he gave
her an address.
He omitted to tell her that he had
become involved in shady transac.
ton which made it advisable for him
to leave London

SS In two days contained wheat which
would answer Tor delivery on contracts.
In other words over 10000 bushels Of
wheat which would bring the farmers an
average Of about 81 per bushei, reached
Winnipeg in two days. The Significance
by the inspectors in two days at the close
OF an admittedly unfavorable season
should not be allowed to sink out Of
sight at time when returns from agri-
cultural activity in the west are being
anxiously awaited. These figures do not
take account Of the lower grades, OF
which there were 1M cars More than one
third Of these contained milling wheat,
which would remunerate the farmer at
the rate Of $50 per bushei on the basis
of to-day's closing figures. The balance
consisted Of low grade stuff which would
vary greatly in quality and would show
great spreads in prices.

crop into money may be said to be pro-
ceeding In a most satisfactory way and

proportion of the wheat will have come

forting feature Of the situation and there
is no occasion for concern over. the pos

grain being below that Of previous years.
The high standard Of the wheat raised
