Those who follow the market reports,
find something strangely familiar in,
the reports Of Hessian flies, driving
grain fields. etc, etc., that are coming,
from the south over the names OF we'll
known crop "eXperts.' 1t is the same
old stuff that from the north
west later in the year. Speaking Of
this The Duluth Herald remarks:
From now until harvest time sus-
ceptlble persons will be afflicted with
a wide variety of sad tales about desc
lating things that are happening to-
the growing crops.
Those most familiar with grain
growing n grain marketing are as
a rule the least susceptible to these
sad stories. most Of which are like
the troubles that never happen.
"For instance. there is the Hessian
fly. The Hessian fly has lately been
destroying crops in the southwest
some actually in the fields. but mainly
in the market reports put forth bv
those concerned in putting grain
prices up.
4nS E1SSSIdA LILY is one OIL the many
worries that can be avoided-the flv
itself. that is, not the story; that goes
On forever, so long as marketing has
a speculative change.
The Hessian fly is bad for crops.
There is no possible doubt about that
But the Hessian fly also shows a bad
farmer. There Is no possible doubt
about that, either.
In point Of fact, you have to pam
per the Hessian fly to make it dan.
gerous. IT you fail to check repro
duction Of the fly by early blowing;
if you keep the same field in wheat
year after year without a break: il
you fail to have a good seed bed tc
enable the grain to get ahead of thu
fly; then you invite disaster from tn,
Hessian fly.
And Hessian fly damage mainly il
confined to fields to which it ha,
been invited by carelessness and neg
lect.
"a good many of our troubles il
life are like the Hessian fly in tn,
neglected grain field.

The Doctor Scores.

Atlanta Journal: mot long ago.
said a Washington lawyer, II attended
a trial in Baltimore. during the course
of which there was summoned as wit.
ness a youthful physician.
1T was natural, of course, that
counsel for the other side should, in
cross examination, seize the occasion
to utter certain sarcastic remarks
touching the knowledge and skill Of
so young a doctor.
Are YOU" demanded the lawyer
''entirely familiar with the symptoms
of conclusion of the brain?"
Yes, sir"
Then" continued the lawyer, &c
should like to ask your opinion of {
hypothetical case. Were my Learned
friend, Mr.. Reed, and myself to ban.

cussion of the brain?"
"Mr. Reed might" smiled the youth

Over the sea our galleys went,
With Cleaving prows in order brave
To a speeding wind and a bounding
wave
a gallant armament;
Each bark built out of a forest tree
Left leafy and rough as first it grew,
And naiTd all over the gaping sides,
Within and without, with black bull
hides,
Seethed in fat and supplied in flame.
To bear the playful pillows game;
So, each good ship was rude to see,
But each upbore a stately tent
Where cedar pales in scented row
Kept out the fakes of the dancing
And an awning droop'd the mast be-
low,
In fold on fold Of the purple fine,
Nor moonlight cold which maketh
mad,
Might pierce the regal tenement.
When the sun dawn'd. o gay and glad
But when the night win blew like
breath,
For JOY of one days voyage more,
We sang together on the wide sea,
Like men at peace on a peaceful shore;
East sail was loosed to the wind so
free,
Each helm made sure by the twilight
star,
And In a sleep as calm as death,
We, the VOyagers from afar,
Lay stretched along each weary crew
In a circle round its wondrous tent
Whence gleam'd soft light and curId
rich scent,
And with light and perfume music,
TOO!
So the stars wheeled round, and the
darkness past,
And at morn we started beside the
mast,
And still each ship was sailing fast!
Now, one morn, LAND appear'd-a speck
Did trembling betwixt sea and sky
Avoid it, cried our pilot, check
The shout, restrain the eager eye"
But the heaving sea was black behind
For many a night and many a day.
And land, though but a rock, grew
nigh;
So we broke the cedar pales away,
! Let the purple awning flap in the wind
And a statue bright was on every
deck!
And steer'd right into the harbor thus
With pomp and pecan glorious.
A hundred shapes of lucid stone!
All day we built it's shrine for each
A shrine of rick for every one,
Nor paused till in the westering sun
We sat together on the beach
To sing because our task was done:
When 10! wha shouts and merry
What laughter all the distance stirs
A loaded raft with happy throngs
OF gentle islanders!
Our isles are just at hand" they cried
Like ~cloudlets faint in even sleep,
ing;
Our temple gates are open'd wide.
Our olive groves thick shade ar,
keeping
For these majestic FORMS" they cried
0, then we awoke with sudden star
From our deep dream, and knew, to-
late,
How bare the rock, how desolate,
Which had received our p~reciou
freight;
Yet we calPd out-"Depart!
Our gifts once given, must here abide
Our work is done; we have no hear
To mar our work. we cried.

A NATIONS GREAT LOSS
editorial in The Chicago Tribune.)

for to admit his true station in life
would at once bring down the con-
tempt Of his neighbors upon him.
though they are probably no richer
than himself, and merely know how to
talk big, the phrase goes.
And the poo shop girl, too, falls in
line. To her chum she confides with
tears in her Eyes that the making of
the new dress will cost her $9-a sum
which it will take weeks and probably
months to save from her meager
wages. But to the girl next door, who
praises her dress, she states with as
sumed modesty that the making of
the garment cost her "only So"
On the surface there may seem little
harm in these vain eXaggerations
and conventional lines. Blu there is
real harm in them. This desire to ap-
pear richer than one is, this being
ashamed of acknowledge ones true
economic station, is the cause of many
tragedies. 1t has sent many bank
clerks to Jail. In far too many cases
this fear Of ones neighbor overcomes
ones fear Of human and divine law
and sends men out to rob and plumber
and cheat in order to- be able to wear
silk hose and to step on. velvet carpets

n WAY OF A MAN.
Befere M arriaas.

Before Marriage.
Walt Mason in Judge: He carried
flowers and diamond rings to please
that dazzling belle, and caramenls and
other things that damsels love so well
He'd sit for hours upon a chair and
hold her on his knees; he blew his
money here and there, as though IL
grew on trees. IF l had half what
you are WORTH" he used to say, "my
sweet, I'd put a shawl strap round
the earth and lay it at your feet"
He had no other thought, it seemed,
than just to cheer her heart; and
everything of which she dreamed, he
purchased in the mart.
when we are spliced," he used to
say, you'll have all you desire-a gold
mine or a load Of hay, a ~dachshund or
a Tyre. My one great aim will be to
make your life a thing of joy, so haste
and to the altar take your little Clar-
ence boy"
And SO she thought she drew a
peach when they were wed in June,
Alas! how oft for plums we reach
and only get a prune!
After Marriage.
And so you want another hat?" he
Numbered to his frau. Just tell me
what is wrong with that-the one
you're wearing now! No wonder that
I have the blues, the way the money
goes; last week you blew yourself fol-
shoes, next week you'll want new
clothes!
Il wish you were like other wives
and would like them behave: it is the
object Of their lives to help their hus-
bands save. All day I'm in the bust
ness fight and strain my heart and
soul, and when l journey home al
night, you touch me for my roll. You
want a twenty-dollar hat, to hold your
topknot down, or else a new Angora
cat, a lapdOg or a gown. You lie awake
at night and think of things you'd like
to buy, and when l n a little chlnk
you surely make it fly.
with such a wife as you, say, g
husband has no chance; you pull his
s~tarboard limb by day, by night you
rob his pants.
MY sainted mother, when she dwell
in this sad vale of tears, had one ole
lid, Of cloth or felt, she wore for thirty
years. She helped my father all the
time, she picked every bone, and II
she had to blow a dime, it made her
weep and moan
The hat you wear is good as new;
twill do another year. So don't stanc
round. the rag to chew-Im busy now

FOUND LIST UNIVERSITY LAND.
Correction in Records Gives Missouri
School 1850 Acres More.

University Missourian: A find for
the University of Missouri of 100 acres
of land in the Ozarks was made a few
days g by the department of forest
ry. The land, although owned by the
university perhaps since 1852, has been
lost for twenty years.
The loss occurred through a mistake
in transcribing the lists Of lands owned
by the university from he original
lists into a ledger. In copying the list
the land was written to be in section
% instead of %. The university al
ready owned the corresponding quar-
ter in section %. This quarter was
therefore entered twice and the one in
section 23 not at all.
The old records were put away and
the ledger used as a reference to the
university lands. That a quarter was
duplicated either was not noticed or
was not thought significant.
Frederick Dunlap, professor of for
estry, and E. c. Pegg, instructor in
forestry, are preparing to spend the
summer studying the university land
with the hope of improving it. They
