Agricultural Agent Sends Letters to Wayne County Farmers To Make Talks Next Week.
A Bit of Comedy That Won a Good Tip
From this Composer.
A story of Wagner known to very few is brought th the light by the Vosslsche Zeitung. When the composer was In a reallymerry mood, the right
mood for atoryf telling, he used to say that,' being lal Berlin on a very hot - summer's dayf and finding himself in the DonhofiTsolatz, he summoned one of the first class droshkles that were Btlll' fairly numerous at that time and told the driver where to go. nis destination was At the very farthest point of a district witbin which only the lowest fare cof Id be demanded. It struck Wagner immediately that his driver was faking a very affecting leave of one of fcls fellows, as though be were startina on a life or death
Journey. "GoodbJ, William," he said: "we shan't see each other again for a long time." After the carriage bad rattled on for a good while it came suddenly to a standstill. The driver got down from his box on the right aand side, opened the carriage door ajid banged it to again; then he went -ound to the left side and repeated jhe performance, climbed up on to his -box and resumed the Journey. At tha end of the drive Wagner asked him what this dumbcrambo show meant,' The driver, with a sly look, made answer: "I Just wanted to bamboozle my old nag. He would never have believpd that the whole
drive waa for a minimum fare and I would have refused to go on. Rut byj
bangias the doors ! got him to imagine that one fare had, got out and another got in " i Wagner laughfd heartily over this explanation, and the driver, in spite of his greed. over which the composer made very merry in his letters, reallzei the handsome tip on which "he had been speculating. London Standard. GREECE HAD THE RECALL.
County Agricultural Agent A. D. Cobb estimates that the farms in
Wayne county this year only yielded an average of fifteen bushels of wheat per acre. According to Agent Cobb this is barely enough tg pay the rent of the farm. He is urging the farmers to co-operate on the better wheat movement and make the average yield from twenty to twenty-five bushels. A few of the most important things to be considered are outlined in a letter to the farmers and which will be emphasized in Cobb's trip through the county next week with a speaker from Purdue university. The following advice will be given: Plow Ground Early. "Plow the ground early; work it well and get a good firm seed bed. If sown after corn, cut the corn early, if
fore sowing the wheat. If sown in standing corn have the rows free from weeds, and drill in preference to broadcasting.

Only In th Olcj Days the System Wat Callecj "Ostracism." tu the palmy! days of the Greek republics, many centuries ago, as historians tell us, when a man rose to such a height 'of power or alHuence that he became a possible menace to the state, the citizens took a vote on his case as an "undesirable." This was sent to th$ senate, and. if the rote was sufhcitjntly large and representative, that body passed a resolutlon i which the too distinguished citizen was Invited. in polite diplomatic ' term.', to tako a few years of retire
ment abroad in other words, he was officially exiled far the good of the
state. , This was "ostracism," so called from the fact, it Is explained, that the voting citizens wrote their names on ouster shells, and it was instituted as a measure of security to the commonwealth. Any citizen of great wealth or influence or who had a large personal following which might, in an emergency, be nsefl to the detriment of the state? was inble to receive this distinguished mafk of public consideration. It was 'a kind of primitive "recall, which had the advantage of being equally applicable to "ins" and "outs." Those early greeks were wonderful fellows, who kpew how to deal with knotty problems of their day, which doubtless inchaled grafting and other human peculiarities not unknown in our own time. If an election did not suit them or if any man swelled too far above his! fellows there was always the leveling oyster as a wholecome corrective in reserve. Chris tiaii Herald.
The hose companies were called this morning by telephone to a rom on the second floor of the building occupied by the shoe firm of Neff and Nusbaum at Seventh and Main streets. A large volume of smoke was pouring from the windows. As the firemen were making their way to the room, one asked where the fire was. "In the stove," he was informed.
The firemen believed that some one was trying to play an old joke on them but they made an investigation and found that the shoemaker, who occupied the room had shaken the stove too hard when he made a fire and the pipe had become disjointed, one section falling out when the fire had a good start. A biicket of water thrown into the stove extinguished the fire.

He said today that many have come each Sunday during previous Chautauqua seasons, but this year it is expected that the record will be broken.
