rocky for pegs, the tents tied down to large
poles of driftwood.
We're not quite as wild as we look" said a
brawny young man with shoulders burned
leather color by the sun. Some of used to
live in New York, though you wouldn't think
it. We try to keep in touch with the outer
world especially as regards the baseball scores.
Once in a while baseball extra circuiates be-
tween the camps, but generally the news travels
by word of mouth The marshas hand out
quite a little news, and you get some at the
spring where everybody goes for water-not
such trifles as Bryan being nominated, but the
important beach items. To the vital ques-
tfons are when the bumboat man is coming
along with groceries and ice, what time the
InilkInan's boat is due and who's entered for
the aquatic sports.
I'VE have swimming races, canoe races and
diving contests. a few of the boys can't get
over the habit of working daytime, 50 they get
up at 5 a. m, cook and eat breakfast, paddle
across the river in a canoe and take the subway
to their Offices downtown which they reach by
: o'clock They get back carly enough for
evening swim and sit-in around the big
munstic campfire, where friends and strangers
tell stories and make the ROCKS echo with
Marching Through Georgia and other songs
Each tent has its lantern, but sometimes the
whole outfit is shy of matches and have to
stay in darkness till send a to the next
point. Oh you get here easy enough-put
vanload of furniture a rowboat-but the
hardship is to leave after four weeks and return
to the cOnveniences of the city. The inconveni-
ence of camping is what you get attached to-"
a narrow rocky trail embroidered with wild
grapevines led the visitor up and then down
along the margin of swamp carpeted with a
vast accumulation of driftwood, above which
bloomed pink and white morning gories, and
where tall cattails, sedges and wild grasses
nodded heads together. The wood thrush sang
in the solitude of the hillside. Soon the trail
came to a spot deeply shaded with swamp oak
and willow. Here of the eight springs Of
mountain water trickled into a padlocked oak
cask. which lay a tin dpper for the way
farers refreshment. A turn of the spigot, and
the pure. cool water rejoiced the palate of the
visitor better than anything sealed under gilt
label. Then he took note of a sign enjoining
careful treatment of the spring, and saw the
who no doubt had purposely located themselves
beside the fountain of youth.
The walk TO the next camp along a beach
piled with monumental cubes and other angled
shapes of trap rock combined exercise with d.

Joseph Howard, one of the best known
and best loved journalists of this coun-
trv died at his home in New York city
April list, after an eventful and dis
tinguishing career. The Boston Globe
saws that cit was his favOrite boast
that he never wrote anything which he
would not gladly show his mother,
whom he revered' In his writings and
in person he scattered sunshine, and
with the income Of a prince he dis
tributed his bounty like prince. At
the funeral services Rev. Newell Dwight
Hills, pastor of the Plymouth Church.
Brooklyn, said: "With Joe Howard
writing was creation. He had things
to say about every public man and great
event, and he was master OF the art
of putting things He wrote as easily
as the lark sang, as spontaneous as
fountain gushes at the foot of noun
tain. He believed in journalism with
all his mind and heart, and was as proud
of his position as president of the Press
Club as other men are proud of being
King or President or Emperor.

The Shoe Situat ion.

The increased interest of jobbers in the
footwear market that was noted last week
has not been maintained, manufacturers
reporting less demand, and it is believed
that pressing needs were 'tisfied. Buyers
express the opinion that further concessions
in prices may be obtained by delay, and
stocks in the hands of distributors are not
so low that there is need of haste in re-
plenishing. Local jobbing sales increase
as the Easter demand is felt, but business
is much smaller than year ago.-Dun's
Review, April 4th.

The school committee voted to place
a fire escape on the High school build
ing and its action is to be commended,
but the fire escape should be of iron and
not of wood as contemplated. Iron fire
escapes are carried in stock by dealers
and on receipt of the dimensions can
be furnished without delay. A wooden
fire escape on the exterior of a brick
building would be an added element OF
danger in case of fire.

Jail sentences without alternative
we're imposed by Judge Hill in the
Municipal Court, Portland, April Sd,
in the case of two men who had been
adjudged guilty by the court of unlaw-
full possession of Intoxicating liquors.
After the adjournment of the court
Judge Hill said to a reporter for the
Express: 81 do not propose to allow
witnesses to come into this court and
perjure themselves on the stand with
out taking notice of it. 1t was because
l believed these respondents guilty of
perjury by their testimony this morn
ing that l imposed the jail sentences"
The offense is not an uncommon one
and other judges should follow Judge
Hills example.

Omaha In Evidence at Fair.

People of Omaha have always at
tended the state fair. But Thursday
was the first time Omaha came down
in a body. 1t was the first time Oma-
ha come down headed by its CONNER
cial club, its magnificent Ak-Sar-Ben
and its leading business men. 1t was
the first time that it was impossible to
turn around on the ground without
running into Omaha men. And the
Omaha delegation did not look a bit
different from the owners of the live
stock exhibited at the fair, the men
who raised the fine county exhibits,
or the men who put up the magnifi-
cent horticultural exhibit. In fact. in
this last department Charles Saunders
of Omaha was in charge, he being the
president of the society. 1t was a
great day for the fair and great day
for Omaha. The day was called
Omaha day." and from the big city
several trainloaGs of people came
down, while many came in automo-
bileS.

The contract price Of corn or the aver
age date of early frost in Nebraska
are the engrossing subjects.
Talking of prices. I was told by an
Aurora man who has several farms
that he has been offered 60 cents for
all the corn he will deliver. He re-
fused the offer. And let me say the
government estimate of our corn crop
is too high, while some of the railroad
estimates are away OF. In my judg-
ment. We have several hundred re-
ports here in the office now, that bear
out this statement and have been In
a large number of fields on foot. A
great deal of corn is thin and uneven.
and fully 10 per cent Of the total acre
age planted has been lost. Nebraska
will have probably 70 per cent of a
full normal crop, not more.
This must be said, however. Where
we have good corn this year we have
as fine a crop as heart could wish. A
Weld of 60 bushels to the acre can
be looked for in some fields. barring
a hard frost within two or three
weeks. Forty bushels will be the tally
in a great many instances. and 20 20
30 bushels will be realized in many
more fields. But the big expectations
of some folks on aggregate yield are
due for a hard tumble.

Inquiry About Insurance.

The Schaefer Drug company OF
Omaha has written Auditor Searle re-
garding a policy issued to it by the
Druggist Indemnity Insurance compa-

to know if the policy is any good.
Auditor Searle answered that the
company had no license to do business
in Nebraska and. besides, he took the
drug company to task severely for
buying insurance from an unknown
agent when Omaha was full of good
agents who will write policies prompt.
" and in the right way.
