.There In a "humper crop" In Hie went
this year. The news of It comes In
estimates of billions of bushels nnd bil
lions of dollars, whole delegation of
ciphers which suggest something ery
huge and far off. hut which tnifst mean
romethlhg pretty Important. Yet the
prftt news Is true: thr, wrst Is hard !
the harvest now In sweat and shirt
sleeves nnd Jubilee. t The crop Is a ec
orrt.preaker, tho greatest wdiilth thai
has evt-r lwen Riven ftt once Into the
hands 'of nny nation In tho history of
the world. .

For nno thing, the liuihpr crop means
the movement tinmen' ami machines on
a scale so big that tlifcrn Is'iiothln.g like
It on earth; Only one thing npprusrhes
It-thn. movements of gnat armies. The,

No nrmy so great as that ever trod
the earth. The total for the union nrmy

counting VvViry-man who enlisted and
hundreds of, thousands who enlisted morj
than once, comts to 2,W0,GOD, und not moro
than half that number were tinder nrmr

ried' nnns for, north or south during the
strugglo would not compare with the
men In tho grain fields this year.
Tli? Kiinrnmun IIiikkhh Trnln.
And certainly no army ever marched
with such u bnggugc train. The horse
that worU In the grain fields, drawing
harvesters or "headers" or carts, um
ber moro than O.MO.OOO. Curts, har
vesters, nnd ull tho rest count up about
4,600,000 pieces of nppnfatus. In n single
line ot march along a strnlghl road, drlv

und inuohtnes would i each for ZS.SM miles,
or morn than tho ontlrn dlstnncq around
the earlh.
Yet the work In the fluids Is only a
beginning. Fv,r ,,ow ho ktbIh ttsclf
cqme pouring In. If ti.ej harvesters uro
an army, the grain Is n flood, a great,
turbulent yellow river that must fhtd Its
way from farm to city somehow, and It
comes flowing In from tho melting stacks
at Its sources like spring freshets front
the snowlmnks. l.lko the floods. It be
gins at the south, In Texus und Oklahoma,
not long uftcr midsummer, and then, iia
tho fields to the northward ripen, It comes
streaming from Kansas, from .Nebraska,
from the ltvel farms pf the middle west,
and then from tho Dakota and Min
nesota. The mere volume ot It Is a staggering
thing, Thn yield - ot wheat,, estimated
this year at 7W,OW,000 bushels, -would
.make a river as wldo as jJFJftli avenuo
and four Cet deep, reaching from Chi
cago to New York. If every ship that
sailed from Now York harbor curried
nothing but wheat, It would take them
two years to handle all that has been
grown this year.
"Wheat, ot course, Is only a .fraction of
the harvest. The yield of oats Is esti
mated at 1,400,000,000 bushels, And tho
corn crop Is biggest ot all. It Is the
jtreat American staple. Corn Is what
puts pork Into pigs and beet over lean
steers'' bones. Tho corn crop this year
will run 3,000,000,000 bushels or more.
Minor crops of buckwheat, rye and bar
ley Will foot up to 1110,000,000 bushels
more, or a total ot almost 0'00,O0O,00O
bushels from six- American cereal crops.
MovIiik the Mits.
To move such a mass at one Umo
would of , course bo Impossible. -,Hs
weight would Uo 160,000,000 tons. It
would require 7,tr00,000 freight cars of
tha large twenty-ton nlxc to carry 'it,
and lSi.G.0 locomotives would be required
tp haul them.
The railroads do not move It all', at
once, und thoy have a deal of trouble
In moving what they do handle. Freight
cars aru,at a premium 'during' the har
vest season. They aro begged, bor
rowed, and nut Infrequently stolen out
right by the' rnllwuy lines under the
-plnrJi of necelty. Around the great
.gratn.shlppipg centers the roads are
fairly strangling with their overplrntl-
iful freight At Dultith, where millions
I of bushels a week go spouting Into 'l,he
holds of the great Irihe steamers, every
ridding for ten -miles around the city Is
I often filled from eu'd to end with grain
laden car awaiting their turn at the
I waterfront, and tens of thousands ot
other cam wait In the yaids at distant
,hlpplhg points behind them.

MEMORIES OF CIVIL WAR RAID
1 ulon Vetprnn Mim- .Soldier Who
ltnldrd Ills Father'.
Ilnuk.
Judge William 'ft. 'lloyt of Muskogee,
Okl., un old union, soldier, was 'discuss
liu; tho rald.of tMorKan's men on tit. Al
bans, 'Vt., on October 18, ISCt.
"Twenty-one Johnny Ilcbs," said lloyt,
"under a commission from Jeff l)avl
went Into Cunada In October, 1S04, und,
orosslni; the Canadian line,- swooped down
on my home .town St. Albans, seized all
tho money tn my father's bank nnd
burned It before the cltlxcm of the town.
I-ofa see, I believe It was the Citizens
Honk "
"No..'lt was the Franklin County bank."
spoke up W. T. Tey,Js, an old soldier tot
the cohtedeiate Hrniy, w1i9.wav listening
to Judge lion's story.
"What do you know abollt It?" snapped
lloyt.
"I know- all' about It." replied Tevis.
"I wss there. 1 w.as one of Morgan's
raiders."
"The h-U you say." said the astonished
lloyt. "So you are one of the men that
robbed my father's bank?" .
"I was not a liank robber, suli. replied
Tovls, who Is a Kentucktan, with some
plrlt. "l was a soldier of the army of
tho south, carrying gut the orders of my
commander, and wui sent there to seize
and destroy the money In that Us v"
"Well, t il bo d d." said Ho "I
was flBhtln? with thfunlon a,My In
Virginia when tho town of -Albans Was
raided, and 1 have been waiting for forty
olght years to meet one ot you fellows."
And the two old veterans shook hands.
Then Tovls told the story of tho raid
from tho viewpoint of the southern sol
dier. Jeff Davis had been advised that
the United States government , pad stored
millions of dollars In tne Franklin County
bank nt St. Albans Twenty-one picked
men were sent to Canada to cross the
viw and rt-treat to t'amda. wlp'h gov
ernment was fnendi) to the south. If
thfcy were successful ttey were to enlist
Canadians and make raids all along the
Canadian border to create consternation
and terror and prevent, If possible, tho
sending of nny more soldiers to the south.
In this manner Jeff Oavls hoped to divert
thn attention of Washington from the
south.
Tevis wns one of tho picked men who,
under tho command of Lieutenant Ilen
nett H. Young- marched Into the town
of ' 8t, Albans. Piles of money were
burned In the park across from tho
Franklin State bank, and u guard gf con
federate soldiers herded the citizens In
tho park Uorore leaving they mnde
thorn hold up their hands and swear al
legiance to tho confederacy.
Judge Hoyt's father wus. president of
the .bank, and in the raid lost S6S.Q00 of
his own money, besides that of the de
positors, lloyt was later reimbursed by
the United States government.
Tevis, after meeting Judge Hoyt, went
tp his home, ransacked hxx old trunk und
found one of the bills that had been
taken from the Franklin bsnk The bill
contained tho signature ot Judge Hoyt's
fattier.
Tho famous St. Albans raid Is a matter
pf history and It came near Involving tho
United States Into a war with Great
Ilrltaln. Tevis and his party, after their
return to Canada, surrendered to the
ICanadlan authorities, when they found
that ono of their number had betrayed
them. The United States government -demanded
tho'.r prosecution, and the nmi
were tried. The Canadian court held that
tho men were not utility of any crime
against the Canadian Kovernmst.'. and
decided their offense merely un "act of
war." The cuo was appealed to tne
queen's bench In England, and later up
held by the Kngllih court.

FOOLING WITHA BUZZSAW
What Happened tu a C'onirmamiin
Wlio (lulssed the Senator
t
from Murylnnd.
In congress the late Senator Rayner
would seldom perpetrate a Joke. He was
afraid of the reputation of being a "con
mesfional wit." On ono occasion, how
ever, ho yielded to temptation, There
was a congressman from ope of tha
southern state who generally kept him
self In a notoriously disheveled and un
kempt condition. Rayner was on the
floor arguing un amendment to the Mc
Klnley tariff bill, and casually made the
remark: "Kverythlng Is either a luxury
or a necessity."
Just then the southern representative
stepped from the corridor Into the house
and said: "May I Interrupt the gentle
man from MarylandT"
"Certainly," said Kayner.
"Did I understand you to say that
everything is either a luxury or a neces
sity?" "Yes. sir."
"Well, I have Just taken a hath; what
would you call that?"
"In your case," said Itayner. "it b both
a necessity and a luxury; a necessity, bo
cause you need it so badly, and a luxury
because you take It so rarcly."-,New
York Post.
Irrelernnt Testimony.
At a term of the circuit court In Iowa
not lone ago a "horse case'' was. on trial
nnd a well known horseman wasj culled
as a wltnern. -,
'V.wu ST 'J1'8 h"e?" asked' tounsol
for the defendant.
"Yes, sir. I '
"What did you do?"
"I opened his mouth to ascertain his
age, and I said to him: 'Old sport, there'
a lot of life In you yet.' "
Whereupon counsel for the other sltlo
entered a vigorous protest.
"8t6p!" he cried. "Your honor, I obcat
to any conversation carried on between
the witness and the horse when the
plaintiff wus not present." Green Jlug
