Wheat All In.

Bismarck, NJ. d., May 5.--A heavy
faIl of snow started this morning ana
IL geenral all over the northwestern
part Of the state. A number of points
in the extreme northwest which We're
not visited by recent rains are getting
snow which will do great amount Of
good to crops now in the ground.
It is estimated that 80 per cent of
the wheat is sown in the state and the
recent moisture puts the soil in an ex-
cellent condition for the balance Of the
later seeding.

An Irishman, who wasn't much
of a hunter, went out to hunt one
day, and the first thing he saw
to shoot at was a bird sitting
saucily on top of a fence. He
blazed away and then walked
over to pick up the victim.
What he happened to find there
was dead frog, which he raised
carefully at arms length, looking
at it with a puzzled air. Finally
he remarked:
