On whose broad hack. will, daddy help
You used sometimes to SIT
And ride away down 20 tho creek
In which she used TO wade
Anu thrust her nose unt;l YOU screamed,
1t made you so afraid!
A mother and grandmother, TOO?
A ~erandpop and a dad
To take YOU with them to the fields
And woods and make YOU glad
With goblin stories, told so deep,
You didn't care TO cheep:
And nights did they Just fairly fuss
To smuggle YOU TO sleep?
O, meadows, fields and wooded ways,
And creeks OF long ago!
O. awkward calves. and kissing geese.
And COWS that used to low.

A Profitable Crop
i'm the Northwest
BY A. E. DICKEY.

The second factor making for the
new prosperity may, be termed The
discovery of fax" For years there
had been a few scattered flax fields.
but it was only in the middle nine
ties that the Northwestern pioneer
awoke to the discovery that linseed
oil was of a more truly golden hue,
not only than the wheat field, but
than any gold-bearing quartz Cali
fornia ever saw. And so the endless
golden yellow of the fields Of wheat
gave place to the blue flowers in
August and the tinkling bells in Sep
TENDER of the fax field.
Those who have never heard the
ringing of the fax bells have missed
a truly wonderful sensation. The
round seed pods, smaller than peas,
which contain the seed, give a faint
metallic sound which as one drives
or walks through a field, setting
thousands in motion, seems like my
riads of infnitesimal bells tinkling so
family as to be all but inaudible. Nor
is the mere sight of a fax field in the
mellow August soon to be forgotten.
Imagine a hundred-acre field, filled
with flowers of a blue more delicate
than violets. And of its profitable
character one illustration will suf-
flee. In June, 1900, Ole Jansen
bought a hundred and sixty acres in
the heart of the great fax belt for
$40 an acre on the crop payment
plan. Ole broke up that fall and
the next spring a hundred and thirty
five acres and planted it in fax. In
round numbers, he threshed in the
fall eighteen and one-half bushels
to the acre; sold it for s1.39k a
buishe,; total, $500; a little more
than twice enough to pay for his
land out Of his first crop. Not only
was the fax immensely profitable it.
self but it removed from the coun-
try the stigma, "one crop country"

SANDY" HAMILTON FOUND DEAD.
Former Yellow Dog Fund Custodian
Died at Albany, N. Y.

Albany, N. Y.-The picturesque ca
reer of a man whose influence had
been felt in legislation in this State
and in many other States for many
years was ended when Judge" Andy
Hamilton died in his home in this
city. Death was due to heart failure
and he was found dead in bed by one
Of the servants. His health had been
failing since last July, when his wife
died, but he tried to hide his grief be-
fore his friends and outwardly. he was
congenial and cheerful.
Wherever the insurance interests
we're threatened there Hamilton went
or sent his representatives. He was
successful in most of his efforts to
defeat hostile legislation, and that he
spent money layishly was shown by
the books of the New York Life In
surance Company. The yellow dog"
fund Of this single company was more
than 81, 000,0 900 when Charles E.
Hughes, then counsel for the Arm
strong Committee, brought the fund
to light.
Hamilton left a mother and three
daughters, one Of whom is Mrs. Jas.
Cox Brady, of New York, daughter
in-law Of Anthony N. Brady.
Hamilton was born in Lansinburg,
North Troy, N. Y. April 29, 1854.

Railway Acquaintance in America.

"You may travel 1000 miles on a
railway in Europe and a man,
whether English, French, German or
what not, will open his mouth to-
speak to you if you are a stranger"
said J. w. Pike, of Philadelphia.
For a total freezeout 1 accord the
palm to the English. Your true
Briton regards any man who has
nerve to speak to him without ever
having been formally introduced as
reeking with effrontery, and, there
fore, to be disdained and snubbed.
l want to except from these a class
of Englishmen who have been about
the world a good bit, I've met a few
of this sort who had knocked about
the world and who we're not sus-
picious Of a stranger who addressed
them that he had designs on their
p~ocketbook.
Maybe in the course of time and
the process Of evolution we may get
the same clamlike reserve over here
in America, but l don't expect to see
it in my lifetime, and l am glad to
think whenever / enter a parlor car
for a ride to San Francisco or Seattle
that though | may not know a blessed
man on that train when I enter, ere
100 miles have been traversed l shall
be talking with some good American
whom I never saw before as though
we had been friends and comrades
from our earliest youth. "-Washing-
ton Herald.

Horse Must Not Shy at Motor,

Horses have no business to be fright
eneH at motor cars. Such is the lat
est decision OF NJ. Sere de Rivieres,
the Good Judge OF Paris. A case
was brought before nim by the own
er OF two horses which had been
frightened by the passing of two mo-
tor cycles on one of the public high
ways in the Department Of the SOM
me. The driver, in trying to master
the horses, vas run over by the cart.
The owner sued for damages. The
Judge decided they were not due, as
horses ought to be trained so as not
to shy at the noises of motor Yehi-
cles. II peasants had no motor cars
to supply the object lesson, so much
the worse for the peasants.-Pa"a

Stepping from the platform with
scGlpel in hand. lie then advanced to
the table. removed the sheet from
the corpse, and while gazing on the
face of the dead w0man the color
left his cheeks, the sCaipel shook IN
his hand, he gasped for breath, and
said:
Jane, Jane Great Heaven, it is
jane and fell in my arms.
"Restoratives were applied to his
bloodless lips. and when he had re-
covered sufficiently to speak, he said:
Gentlemen, l am ill. There will
be no dissection this afternoon. Leave
the room. Tomorrow meet me at
the usual hour
What became OF the dead body we
never learned. 1t was removed that
nightly whom and where to was
never known by us. The surgeon also
disappeared that night, and never en-
tered the college again. What be-
came of him always remained a mys-
terry. He may have departed Tor
Europe in the morning upon some
vessel leaving port, or he may nave
comitted suicide. A body resembling
the doctor was found floating in the
East River some weeks after, but 1t
was too much decomposed for identl-
hcation.
The mystery connected with the
dead-room never was fully explained.
Rumor had it, but it was never fully
confirmed, that the doctors wife had
deserted him in England many years
previous to this event, and ran away
with a British sea captain, and that
the doctor came to America under an
assumed name. Being a skillful ur-
geon. he readily attained the honored
rank he held.
How the woman met her untimely
death no one ever knew. Her para
mour may have grown tired of her,
as is the general result, and she may
have welcomed death in a watery
crave, or she may have accidentally
fallen from the ships deck. That
she was the doctors wife there can be
no doubt.
Now captain" continued the doc
tor, II have told you the story Of the
dead-room. The mystery connected
with the affair can only be left to
conjecture."-New York Weekly.
