Much more na\v land has been broken up this . \oarthan usual , and much of this him bucn put in crop < > .

The small grains , wheat , oats nnd Max , nro In splendid condition nnd above the average The growth of straw Is very rank and If we have innny moro rain storms n great portion will go down.

Future pt aspects for moi chants and farmers Al Corn is the lending crop In this county , which was n light jielcl last year. Theio was an unusually large acre igo of flax and oats this year. The llax Is re placed with lull wheat. Think the acrcugo of corn Is about one-tenth less than last vour. This year the ncreago ntntids Ilrst , corn ; second end , winter wheat ; third , oats , with a small ncrcngo of barley and ilax. All crops are now in line condition. The most of the corn Is clean and growing rapidly. Winter ' . /heat harvest will commciiLO in a few dnvs , but unless the rains should cease at once there will bo much trouble and loss In harvesting on account of thosoftcondltion of thogtound The yield will bo largo If it ean bo properly gathered. The same Is true of oats and baf- loy. The farmers of this county were never In bettor condition finnndnlly. The only drawback now In slcht is the indications o'f continued rains. This county will from the present outlook bo In line with her staple products , in the 100 notch und everybody hnnnv.

V.IK NATION'S IlACICilONH. Grandeur and County of the Conti nental Divide. Extending north from Lonp's ljonl < in Colorado , the front range or conti nental divide comprises a chain of s > tu- pondouB peaks reaching1 into the olouds , and coveted even in summer with gro.it Holds of snow and lei , says Frederic Kunston in St. Nicholas. Tills range , cut up by gorges and chasms thousands of feet in depth , which reach into it from Ilio valleys on both sides , presents views of rugged grandeur excelled by none in the Rocky Mountain region. Many have compared thorn favorably with the world- famed glories of the Alps and Caucasus. umuor line , WHICH in uus region is at about eleven thousand feet elevation , the sides of the mountains are covered with a dense growth of spruce , which givcs > way in the lower valleys to the yellow-pine and quaking-ash. These gtand forests have never been ravaged by lires nor marred bv the woodman's ax ; and in their gloomy depths the mule-deer , mountain- lion , and cinnamon-bear ton in undis turbed by fear of man. Above the timber-lino the mountains rlbofiom two to throe thousand feet moro In bomo places gentle slopes cov ered with hugo granite bouldori , and in others clills and crags risirg almost bhcor for hundreds of foot. Hero nnd there ate masses of hard packed snow , while in a sheltered spot on the south side of somoclllT grow tiny a'pino ( lowers and dwarf grasses the food of the wary big-horn sheep , which still frequent this range in considerable numbers. Comparatively few poibons have ex plored thobo , the grandest of all the Kockius. Distance from railroads and the total abbancn of the precious metals have loft the range uninhabited , the nearest settlers being the scattered ranchmen in Kstos Park. Gicat peaks , 115,000 feet in height have never boon scaled , dark chasms and gorges are yet * unexplored , and mountains' higher than Mount Katahdin piled upon Mount Washington Imvo never been deemed worthy of a name. A Rrot Harto story from Heal Life. It was n tendor-hearteJ American who saved the murdered Severn Ols- noros from burial In n pauper's grave. When ho visited the undertaker's where lay the bodies of murderer nnd murdered ho was pnrcoptibly under the inlluonco of liquor. 'Say , parti , " said he to Carl Sohussol , "that gal died afore bho wanted to , didn't she ? " "Yes , sir. " "And that feller there murdered horV " "So It Is said. " "And yo'r giving him a big burial ? " "Ills frlondb are. " "Yo'r say the gal's got to go to the potter's Hold ? " "I am afraid eo. " "Whore's her mother ? " "She has none. " "But she had ono onc't , and she's got to have a square deal and bo burled right. Hero's ' $20 to got her somothln' to wear what's lit to bo planted In. Hero's $20 to got a better collln with , and hero's $10 for a broken wheel of ( lowers. Lot's not have it bald that old 'Frisco gives tlio murderer a bigger send-off tlmn that poor girl what ho killed. Good-by , old pard. "What is your name , please ? This is an net of rare generosity.

Y. ) Mall , there is an Indian's grave where , at times , a weird and supernatural light makes its ap pearance. It is described ns n ball of flro about the si/o of a largo orange , and sways to and fro In the air about twenty feet from the ground , confining its irregular movements within a space about 100 f et square. I'eomo have attempted to go near enough to solve the mystery , but It would suddenly disappear before they could i each It. A very peculiar story b told by the neighbors near the spot , They claim that many years ago the locality was a p i ft of an Indian reservation. A man by tlio name ot liolknnp fre quently dreamed that there was a crack in thu Indian cemetery containing im- munse treasures , and thnt If lie was there at the hour when gravova-ds yawned ho could secure it. These dreams were ropeuU-d so often that they had a btrong olfeet , and lie wont there with nick and shovel , ( iccordlng to In structions , but ho failed to turn around throe times when hu found the crock , as the dream directed. Ho stooped to pick It up , but was btunnod by a flash of lightning nnd thu crock disappeared. Since that tlmo the spot has been haunted by u mysterious light. 0.1IAJ1A 1.1 1 K S lUCIt.

The maiden's father , who had boon anchored in the wino room bofoio , came into the ca-bin just as the ceremony was coi.- cludod. John Murray for that was his name was dumloundod , for ho recog- ni/ed in the half-tipsy individual who had unthinkingly tied the knot an old political lionchman , a man fully quali fied to oillciate.

The divorce court did , however - over , and that \or.v shortly , the criminal lawyer , Charles Spencer , being em ployed by the Irate father.

There are tricks in all trades but ours , says the Detroit Free Press. Hero is a trick that is played every day during the season pn Americans in London. It nearly always works , simple as it is. A gentleman from Rochester , N. Y. , who is well known in that city , bought a pair of gloves on Oxford street the other day , gave the man a sovereign , and took as Americans very generally do his change without counting it , shoveling it off the counter into his pockets Ho was walking down Oxford street when a breathless person overtook him and tapped him on the shoulder. "I beg you pardon , sir , but I'm very sorry wo gave you a shilling too much change. " "Did you ? " said the Americanpulling out a handful of change from his pocket and lookincr at It hopelessly. "Yes , fair , I'm very sorry sir , but you see , sir , it will bo taken out of my wages and I don't got any too much. Wo don't in this country , sir. Won't ' you comeback back , sir , and I'll explain how it hap pened ? " "Oh , It's .ill right , " said the Rochester man , and ho hatfdcd the follow a shil ling."Would "Would you like to go back and see if it's all right ? " said the salesman. "Oh , not nt all. " "I am very much obliged to you , sir , " said the cleric , bringing his forefinger up to his bare head. That shilling and many others like It went Into the clerk's pocket.

"Celebrated authors sometimes forgot their own work , " baid an eminent physi cian the other day. , This Is usually ono of the affects of disease or old ago. As Walter Scott grow old lie became a vic tim to this kind of forgatfulnosiB. Fre quently when ono of his own poems was read to him ho would ask who was the author. 'Ivanhoo' was dictated during a painful illness anil published before its author had quit hlf ) bod. When Scott had become convViloscent ho had no recollection of the story. Toward the nlobo of his Ufa Lmno found grout pleasure in rrmdinj ; his own works. Forgetful that ho was himself the author , Ifo would frequently exclaim as he road : 'Beautifull1 'Mag- nlllcont ! ' 'I wish f had written that ! ' Macaulny , the historian , had a friend whoso memory had once boon exceeding ly strong. Old ago made it exceedingly weak. If anything brilliant was said or read to him in the evening ho would imagine the next morning that the bril liant ideas hoard thu night before were his own. It was his cubtom to write them out and bliow them to lila friends as original matter. " JOHN A. JU.HIUNK HIANKC.
