Among all sorts OF curious lands
where elves and goblins are.

music Of the breeze,
Beyond the cobweb bridges in the

He knows the gentle lullabys the
frogs sing in the dell,
He understands them, every word.

The rhapsody the robin chants upon

Is just song to you and me, but

And greets his swarm of children
meath the flickering firefly light.
He has the family secrets of the
gauze-winged 'bumblebee,
And keeps his knowledge to himself
its not for you and me.

Corn Crop Of State
Safe from Future Frosts

The corn crop Of Nebraska is prac-

mune from damage by future frosts,
according 10 Alexander Hampton,
travelling passenger agent for the
Northwestern. He says:
Last year when the first frost
came, it caught something like rs
per cent of the corn. As a result,
farmers had a large quantity Of soft
and unmarketable corn on their
hands. Now the corn crop OF the state
is made, and while one is not expected
for considerable time, il a frost
should come now, it would do but
little damage. (
Talking with farmers in many
parts of the state last week, | aseer-
tanned that the corn crop Is fully up
to the normal and with the high prices
that are in prospective, the farm rev.
enue is going to be greater than dur
ing any of the former years,
