A correspondent sends to Paris contemporary an amusing contest of wit which he recently heard in rail way carriage journeying between Com piegne and Rove. There were several passengers. cone believed himsf to possess a fund of humor which he in- tended to expend on a priest who got in at one of the intermediate stations. Bestowing 8 patronizing look on the clergyman he said: Have you heard the news. monsieur le cure?" q No, my friend, have not" was the reply. q have been out all day and have not had time to glance at the papers," Then said the traveller, Tt Is some thing dreadful :; the devil is dead" Indeed" replied the ecclesiastics with out the smallest surprise or displeas- ure.

TEXAN RAISES PEACHES BY
 DRY FARMING

Eiberta peaches the size of tea cup are reported by John M. Howell of Parker county, Texas. who attributes his success as an orchardist to the practice of dry farming methods. In an interview, Mir. Howell stated that his peach trees did not have a drop ot rain for three months prior to the picking of his crop.
 Dry farming. or scientific soil cul- ture.l said Mir. Howell, twill mean 9 great deal for our agricultural inter ests. It is practiced successfully in sections of the country that have far less rainfall than we have in Parker county and there is no question out that it will do the work if the proper methods are followed.
 "on my orchard tract there has been practically no rain for three months. l broke the orchard land be. tween the trees in the spring with disc harrow. Since that time I have cultivated the soil both ways with a section harrow every week and the result has been astonishing. There is fine dust mulch four to five inches deep over the ground and the trees are growing as nicely as if there had been plenty of rain. The fruit has grown and natures without rain and IS now ripening into as perfect speei- mems as any one could desire
 Mr- Howell has been invited to send a sample of his peaches to be exhibit ed at the International Dry Farming Exposition at Billings, Mont, October 2S-26, and to tell the Dry Farming Congress about his success when that organization meets in fourth annual session at Billings. October 2e-2s

 Mrs Bascom was a poetess. Fns len years the Nodaway County News hal published her contributions in the potts corner (Mr. Bascom was a lead.

All this was very gratifying to Mrs. Bascorn. but she longed for a wider recCgri tion of her genius.

Neither has quite recovered from the shock given them by Salvatore Chi con, otherwise known as Frijoles the man who. has been in jail more often than any other in the county. Frijoles when sentenced to six days in jail by Judge Burdick, produced six dollars and paid his fine.

 But no. From the recess of his pocket, Frijoles produced the money and during the fainting fit which en- sued upon the part of everyone in court who knew him, walked out q free man.
