Eckles and the Bible.

james II. Eckles, who died suddenly
of heart disease at his home in Chicago
a few days ago, was one of the most
devoufly religious men Of large affairs
in the country. He scrupulously
avoided ostentatious display Of his
genuine piety, reports the Washington
Herald, and only his most intimate
friends knew Of his deep religious
convictions. Among them was Grover
Cleveland, who, while governor of
New York. discerned this trait in Mr..
Eckles' character when the latter was
a student of the Albany law school. Mr..
Eckles was not a psalm singer or a
leader of prayer meetings, etc. Seldom
was his name publicly connected with
church matters of>religious movements.

Whittier as a casuist.


The extreme distaste of the modest
for foolish hero worship, and the skill
which he attained in politely leluding
too enthusiastic admirers, have been
eXemplified in many anecdotes Even
now, however, new ones occasionally
come to light. One such recently re-
lated tells how two women. of the type
at once sentimentally gushing and
overconfident of their own Importance,
visited Amesbury to seek the poet in
his home.
They went astray in their search for
his house and hustled into small
general store to be directed The clerk,
smiling little queerly, informed them
that the Whittier house was near by
but few steps round the corner.
One OF the women a big, forid, over
dressed being with languishing eyes,
caught the smile and clasped her hands
with a rapt air.
"Oh, don't you think he'll see us? ?"
she demanded. "He simplys must.
We've heard he doesn't like to. but he
must; we won't go away till he does.
We've thought up ever SO many things
we want to ask him"
The clerk, still smiling, glanced cas-
ually toward a quiet man in shad-
owy corner, sitting on a barrel, sur
rounded by group of other leisurely
customers. They had all been talking
politics together, village-fashion, when
the strangers came in.
"Think he will?' said the clerk.
well" replied the man on the bar
rel, hesitatingly, "thee knows Green
leaf does not find 1T easy to refuse a
lady. think perhaps he will-if he
is at home"
The women hustled away again, ex-
cited and expectant. and chuckle
went round among the laughing men.
The man on the barrel, with a trace
Of apology in his tones, rose from his
perch to go.
"They will not waste five minutes -
he murmured, cit is such aflittle way.
Besides. thee knows very well that ex-
ercise is good thing for stout la
dies"
"That's so, Mr.. whittier" assented
the clerk. -.

La Crosse, Wis. May 30.-Reports to
grain Offices here and to the offices OF
| the southern Minnesota branch of the
| Milwaukee railway, which covers the
best wheat territory in Minnesota and
South Dakota, are that the weather OF
the past week has proven favorable to
crops. Ninety-five per cent of the seed
ing of wheat, oats, rye and barley has
been done.
The condition OF the ground is very
good and farmers expect an average
crop If the weather remains favorable

weeks late continued good weather to

this section, made an excellent showing
and with favorable weather good crops
VIII be harvested. Corn is making a
fair stand, grass made a slow start and
there will be a very short hay crop.
Fruit is almost total failure, includ-
ing early apples, peaches, pears, plums
and cherries The berry crop is short.
Grapes are greatly injured
Omaha. Neb., May 30.-As compared
with six weeks ago. the condition OF
Nebraska wheat has fallen off some
where from Is to 20 per cent. Six
weeks ago, however, the condition was
as near perfect as was ever known and
with a slight increase in acreage, the
indications now are that this years
crop will be butS little below last
years record breaker.
The only damage done to the wheat
so far has been from lack of moisture.
Good soaking rains, which have COW
cred practically the entire state, have
largely overcome the danger from this
source the past week. Corn has been
planted under exceptionally favora BILE
conditions and the acreage is slightly
in excess of last year. Oats was
damaged more than wheat by the cold
and dry weather Of April and early
May and in places will hardly exceed
half crop.A
