Difficulties With Njcaraoua.

Washington. Apr 6.--Indications are that diplomatic relations between this country and Nicaragua are nearing q crisis, resulting from the failure oi President zelaya to adjust the Emery claim. In diplomatic circles 1t would occasion no surprise if Senor Espinesa, Nicaraguan minister to the United States should shortly be told by the state department that the presi- dent difficulty has gone beyond the range of diplomatic discussion in which event his request for passports would logically follow

Washington, Apr. 6-The hearing in the case of the United States against tue Standard oil company, of New Jersey, which commenced before the United States circuit court in St. Louis today Is one of the most inn portant and far reaching civil actions that has ever been tried In this coun- try.

CASE IS IMPORTANT AND FAR REACHING
The Record including the Exhibits A. ready Exceeds 100000 Words
 Each Side to Have Five Daye for Final Areument--Government Con slders Action Most important Known.

St. Louis, Apr. 6.-Commencing to- day the full bench of four judges, com prising the United States circuit court of this district, will hear arguments in the important cases in which the United States government seeks the dissolution of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey, involving an in- depreciation of many of the phases or the sherman act.
 The arguments in behalf of the gov ernment will be made by Frank E. Kellogg of St. Paul and former United States Attorney Morrison of Chicago
 The oil company will be represent ed by John R. Milburn of New York, Moritz Rosenthall and John $. Miller of Chicago; David T. Watson of Pitts burg and John c. Johnson of Phila- delphla.
 Seldom, If ever, has such a mass of evidence been compiled fin single case. The record including the ex- hibits already exceed 100000 words all taken by one stenographer, Robert s.

First Born.

A Hope and a Fear were wed one day
BY the grave of a happy hour;
A dead faiths knell was the marriage
bell
And the ring was a withered flower.
And one of them died and one was
left
To live thra' the days forlorn-
And there by the side of Hope that
died
The worlds first Tear was born
A Rose and the Sunshine were mar
ried one day
By the shore of a meadow sea;
The wedding words were the songs of
the birds
And the priest was a rambling bee
The lover sun touched a lifted face
AS fair as the dew-wet morn;
And as the Rose blushed red at the
things that he said
The world S first Kiss was born.
r
A Dream and Duty met one day
In the midst of a busy mart
And one held a rose from the garden
that grows
In the Land of the Loyal Heart
But Duty looked on up a cross
crowned hill,
The cross of the Sanctified Thorn.
And there by the bier of Dream that
was dear
The world first Smile was born

SAN BENlTO FARMERS
NOVEL ACCOMPLISHMENT
Growing Three Crops of Equal Pro-
portions on Same Land at Same
Time.

On the farm of Burress Bros, near
San Benito. there is now growing up
on the same ground three different
crops. Last winter the first crop to
be planted was cabbage. this crop be
ing almost harvested now. Between
the cabbage plants on the ridges are
planted cantaloupes, planted this
spring, which are beginning to net"
and from which ripe melons will be
shipped within a few days. Between
the cabbage rows is planted cotton
the latter being planted about the 1st
of April Brownsville Herald.
The harvesting of two, and some
times as many as three, crops from
the same land is no longer considered
phenomenal in South Texas, but in
stances of three crops of equal pro-
portions growing at. practically the
same time are somewhat rare and in
deed novel. However, with the proper
efforts at fertilization, the series
should prove anything but detriment-
al to the soil, and at the same time
yield in an abundant manner.-Gal-

Simplicity.

If power were mine to WELD control
OF Time within my heart and soul,
Saving from ruin and decay
What hold dearest, should pray
That l may never cease to be
WOoed daily by Expectancy;
That evening shadows in mine eyes
Dim not the light OF new surprise;
That l may feel. till life be spent,
Each day the sweet bewilderment
OF fresh delight in simple things
In snowy winters, golden springs,
And quicker heartbeats at the
thought
OF all the good that man has wrought.
But may | never face a dawn
With all the awe and wonder gone.
Or in late twilight fail TO see
Charm in the stars old sOrcery.

that came to a newsboy who was hon

boys to read:
At the state Democratic convention
held in Charlotte, n c.. which was
in session for a week, a little boy,
eight years old Cicero Alexander by
name, sold one of the delegates pa
per. The gentleman gave him dol
lar and the boy, not having the ne
cessary change. went away. to get it.
When he returned the gentleman had
gone into the hall and could not be
found. The boy, after hunting vain
ly for some time, burst into tears.
Someone suggested that the boy go
upon the rostrum in the convention
hall and tell the chairman, which the
boy at once did.
Chairman Parsons took him by the
hand, led him to the front of the
stage and requested that hdlloIing be
suspended for a few minutes. He
then explained that the boy desired to
return to someone 95 cents in change
that was due him. The gentleman
arose in the rear of the hall, but be
fore he could say anything 1000 dele
gates many of whom had been accus-
toned to call out mo change" on the
ballots when their respective coun-
ties were called took up the cry in
unison and yelled for ten minutes, mo

yell they crowded toward the ros-
trum. One delegate took the little

nickels, dimes and quarters, until

that as a candidate for treasurer had
already been nominated his motion
was not in order. Another delegate
then said. Il move that the boy be
nominated for chief page in the next
general assembly of North Carolina,
and the motion was carried unani-
mously. ThereupOn the chairman
told the boy that he must make a
speech. Walking to the front of the
rOstrum, he bowed low and said,

speech during the convention that

There are two haying implements

wide cut mower. Six feet is a good
width. The extra draft amounts to
little, and considerable time will be
saved in going over the field.
Where much hay is made the old
way of raking in punches and pitch
ing it on to the wagon by hand is too
slow and laborious. A much better
plan is to rake the hay into windows
with a side delivery rake and gather
1t up with hay loader. Where the
hay is put in the barn a set Of double
