LIVING GOLD OF WHEAT FIELD
Sensations Of q Ride Through the
Miles Of Moving Grain.

rake look at the wheat field that
has been brought up to perfection. as
1t stands. Yellow as gold, with the sheen
Of the sea, biilowing from skyline, to sky.
line like an ocean OF gold, where the
wind touches the ripping wave-crests
with the tread Of invisible feet. In
California, in Oregon, in. Washington
In Dakota. in the Canadian northwest,
you may ride all day OH horseback
through the wheat fields without a
break in the flow Of yellow heavy
headed grain. No shade trees. No
knobs and knobs and hills and hollows
OF. grass or black earth through. From
dawn till dark, from. sunrise In burst
OF fiery splendor over the prairie hori.

=, the view between YOU and the horizon
but Wheat-wheat. 1t is like the gold
fields. Il, 1t goes to. your head. You
grow dizzy looking at it. You rub
fyourr eyes, Is 1t a mirage? The bill
lowing yellow waves seem to be breast
ing the very. sky. You look up. The
sky Is there; all right with the black
mote of meadow lark sailing the
azure sea. He, drops liquid notes Of
sheer music down on your head. does
that meadow lark; and that gives you
back your perspective, your sense of
amazing reality. You are literally, alb,
solutely, really, in the. midst, of, a sea
OF living gold. 1t is you and not the
lark that is the: mote. You begin to
feel as If your special mote might be
a beam that would get lost in inf1nity
If you stayed there long; and. AS. you
ride on-and on-and some more on
and by and by come out of the
leaguelong, fenceless fields with an
odor In your nostrils that isn't exactly
like tncense-it's too fugitive, too fine,
too sublimal of earth. 1t is aromatic,
a sort of altar of roses, the imprisoned
fragrance Of the billions upon billions
OF wheat flowers shut up in the glumes
OF the heavy-headed grain here. And
that's the odor of the wheat.-Minne-

Rural Canniness.

Once a denizen of the upstate re.
gions, where whiskers grow in plenty
and umbrellas bulge at will, decided
to visit New York. But he decided to
visit the bewildering metropolis quite
as a man of the world-not to be
taken in by the wicked men who, as
he understood, made a business of de.
ceiving the guileless up-stater.
Hence he arrived at the Grand Cen.
trail looking very, very wise, and pro,
ceeded, first Of all, to visit the collec.
ton of wax figures at the Eden Mu.
see.
He was engaged in looking critically
at one OF the most lifelike groups ON
exhibition there, when a policeman
suddenly plucked him by the sleeve.
The up-stater turned.
You mustn't smoke in here" said
the policeman, severely.
a look of wisdom beyond the DOW.
er of words to describe came over that
up-stater's face. Continuing brazenly
to smoke. he remarked:
Tut, tut. Go away. Don't. YOU
think I know that you're made of
wax"

Undrateful Parrot.

A parrot belonging to King Henry
VIII. one day fell out Of the palace
window at Westminster into the
Thames, and remembering a cry That
she had heard, called out: "a boat. a
boat. for twenty pounds" 4 boaman,
hearing her cry, came TO her rescue
and took her to the king, claiming the
reward Polly had offered The king
said he would give whatever sum
Polly should now say. But when she
was asked she very ungratefully cried:
"Give the knave a groat."

Had 1t been only an ordinary time
piece l would never have said a word
of the loss, but it was an unusually
fine watch and valued it much more
than the $500 it cost. The manager Of
the hotel, whom I consulted advised
me against reporting the theft He
said that the local pickpockets op-
Grated in gangs. and that within an
hour after being taken the watch was
probably in some other city. This did
not sound we'll TO me, so hunted up
the United States resident consul and
narrated my story to him. He gave
me precisely the same advice as the
hotel man. Still unpersuaded called
on the chief of police. That official
was polite, but he wanted me to de-
post the 500 reward was willing to
pay. I saw no advantage in this and
told him I'd think 1t over. ..

told me of an American who had been

had put up 5000 in advance with the

BARNARD, THE CLEAN FIGURE.

- ROBABLY most New Workers are glad that
n the political campaign in that city is clos
ing. They like the sensational there, but they
don't like a repetition OF old sensations. A SEN
sation repeated becomes wearisome. Nothing
pals on the sensational palate as does the con-
tinua outcry against vice. And the campaign
in New York seems to have hinged upon the
exploitation of vice Tammany is charged with
harboring and b,ackmailing vice Probably true
to a large extent as it is true of other city poll
ticans. Rings and machines in the large cit
les look upon backma of violators of the law
as a strong prop to their political power. Those
who prey upon the people are easily controlled
by political bosses; they vote as a unit. Their
votes count as much as the votes of the good
citizens The politicians know how to break
up the good citizens. They becloud them with
false issues and the good citizen vote is divided
while that of the crooks remains solid
There are however, fears that the vice racket
has been worked too heavily by the New York
reformers Glasses of population in New York
have been attacked as being subjected to the
exploitation of the vice kings Now this may
be true but if reformers keep on telling all the
time how bad certain people are and look down
upon those people as subjects of reform those
people and their friends and sympathizers re-
sent it. People don't like to be told continu-
ally of their faults Didn't you ever notice how
an old conservative farmer who has made tar
success of farming by following the methods OF
who comes around telling him what he ought
to do. what kind of stock he should have and
how he should change his methods of farming
The Young cub may be all right, but many an
old conservative will in his mind if not openly,
resent the advice
The cry of defaming New York has been rails
ed by Tammany and fears are expressed that
the sudden turn in the campaign by which the
vice question is put to the front may prove a
boomerang All along the forces in opposition
to Tammany have been divided. When the Re-
publieans got Hearst to make fight for Mayor
again, they lost the support of the Republican
newspaper in New York that has the largest
circulation. Thus the fight has been divided,
and no one can safely predict the result
The one man who is coming out Of the contest
with credit is Mr.. Barnard, the Republican can
didate Some think that he has been made the
goat in the fight, but the election figures will
tell whether this conjecture is true. Mr.. Ban
nard in a campaign that has reeked with slime
has conducted himself in a dgnihed manner, dis
cussing the issues of the greatest importance
that Of good government and the redeeming o
the city from Tammany misrule. He ought tC

BUTTER and EGGS

Prices

How much are eggs this morning p"
The early visitor to market this
morning had a frown on his face. He
had been in market just two weeks
ago, asked the price Of butter and had
gone home with oleomargerine. This
morning his wife had told him before
he left to leave the mutton chops for
her to order; she was afraid he would
bring home bologna.
He was thinking OF his wifes order
when he stopped in front of the pro-
duce dealers stand. $50 she wouldn't
trust me to buy the meat" he said to
himself But I'll just show her how to
buy eggs That butter was too high
last week. and the oleomargerine
didn't look half bad. I'll buy some
eggs. though. II I have to mortgage

He had frown, then, and a deter
mined look when he approached the
dealer.
How much are eggs this morning?'
he asked.

"But I mean hens eggs" expostu-

He Bought Three.
The man was completely hoored. He
stepped 10 the next wagon, and the
price was two cents higher. and after
going the rounds he came back to the
first place he had visited and bought
a quarter Of a dozen.
The next time he goes 10 market
