are feeling very good over the gen
eral result of their labor for the

almost total failure of crops in the

And cucumbers grow as long as a rail.
Where cattle graze on the hill side so thick.
And come trailing home as full us a tick.
Yes, this is the land where the hay crop is

And where you ran raise most any old thing.
The roughuess grows rank and so does alfalf.
And so does old Speck and her big fatted calf.
Where fusionists leaders look rather forlorn.
Because the drouth only got a small portion

And because of this fact out here ori the Loup.

There was something noticed roll
ing down street Monday morning in
a black cut-a-way coat and riy-a-way
pints, with a small d erby on its
head and white shoe* covering its
cramped up feet. At first it was con
sidered nameless, but upon second
examination it was found to be the
legitimate product of the sky-scra
per collar. How it got so far north
of the Platt? was not discovered,
but it is becoming very apparent
that more care has got to he exer
cised to keep those pests from blow
ing around so permiscuously or the
country will be seeded down with
them.
The Silver Republican party lived
out its usefulness, deposited its his
tory in Hie archives of the three
ring circus, made its last will and
testaments, took a congestive chill
after reviewing its past and sensibly
gave up the ghost at the tripertite
committee meeting at Lincoln Iasi
week- It is not stated whether its
suicide was the result of earnest
urging by the two larger elements of
‘‘reform ” or whether it became con
science stricken and commited tin
deed upon its own motion. Its last
kick was made heaping blessings
upon its father and patron saint,
j democracy, and as it sank beneath
j the waters of oblivion there came a
last gurgle to preserve its records.
Poor thing, it was a hybrid and its
j -peeies are extinct.

satisfied with their treatment by the
coal barons and another great strike
among them is threatened. Labor
circles ate completely stirred up and
the end is not yet to be even con

involves more great principles of
Vila’ importance to the laboring
classes than any particular oue of

question, whither union labor and

! Siguor Crispi, the Gladstone of
Italy died Sunday evening. Crispi
was 82 years old and was a meteoric
statesman. He became prominent
in the affairs of Italy in ’48 and has
been its guiding hand for many
years. He was once exiled far his
liberal ideas both politically and
tbeoh gicaliy and resided in Paris
until the far reaching arm of the
Vatican compelled him to go on.
He then went to London where he
be was when Garibaldi started his
movement for inteloctual and poli
tical independence when Crispi cast
his lot with that intreped leader and
furnished the major part of the
brains that emanciated Italy. He
furnished another exemplification of
‘ mans inhumanity to man," but his
rising star never deserted him even
in exile and iiis ambition was crown
ed with success even to reaching the
highest political euuuineuce next tho
throne.

CoLtoiiMad and Cotton.
American cottonseed is responsible
for a tremendous increase in the pro
duction of cotton in Russia, middle
Asia, Bokhara, and Khiva. The year
1900 shows an Increase of 44 per cent
over 1899 in the Asiatic lands, and the
increase in the Russian district is 28

fields were planted with cotton.
BIRDS AFRAID OF A MIRROR.
M»y Bo Kept Away From the Frolt
Tr««i.
“I learned a trick while in the Phil
ippines in the matter of keeping birds
out of fruit trees,” volunteered a w'ell
known official of the postofflee depart
ment to a Star reporter, which may be
of value to many just now, when so
many cherries are being destroyed by
birds. It is simple, inexpensive and.
as far as I could observe, practical. It
consists in hanging a small mirror on
the top limbs of the tree. There
should be at least six inches of string
to the mirror, so that it can swing
about as it is blown by the wind. The
flash of the mirror, it appears, scares
the birds away. One or two flve-cent
jnirrors hung on a tree is sufficient,
though, of course, throe or four would
be much better. I was toid that this
method had worked in th > Philippines
successfully for many years, and that
the birds do not grow familiar with it
as they do with a scarecrow. Since
my return here I find that the mirror
scare is not unknown lure,and that it
has been In use by Michigan fruit
growers for many years. I have tried
It myself in a small way, and it is
amusing what a stir it creates among
the birds.”—Washington Star.
