A maiden in the parlor At piano had sat down, ing all the ballads were known about the town, And as Eaward sat and listened He fell nto a doze, And dreampt that he was with her, Sharing all her weal and woes. He was wailing out his passion ‘When she turued to him and said: “1 will be a sister to you But wo can never, never wed, Your friendship I'will cherish Aud in my memory keep.” —Then a chestaut fell upon him And 'woke him from his slee Onco more old Morpheus tackled him, Oneo more he closed his eyes; And then before he knew it He was in Par-a-dise, And sitting at a_table That was groaning 'neath its weight Or all the good things drummers like— And some they never ate, The waiters were all angels, The table linen clean, An ungel says, “No one could kick At the heavenly cuisine.”” ¥rom all his earthly trials For once he was exempt, But let him tell in words his own Just what it was he dreampt. A fair young maid with golden haur, And sunny smiles, and dark blus eyos, Came toward me, stood behind my chair, And while she brushed awny the flies Leaned over me with one full SWoop And asked: “Will you have gumbo soup!” Iwould.

Itwas some time ufter he was in- stalled in his present - position, before he could entirely throw off the proviacial habits cquired while clerking 1o a hotel in ton, Ia., where ho could sleop the greater portion of the night and seldom be disturbed. The first night he was on watch at the Leland a geatleman camo in very lato und wanted a room. 124 was fastaslecp, and it was with some diilicalty the man could arouso him atall. When he had partially succeeded, he asked if ho could get a room, and Ed, with a stretch and & terrible yawn, mumbled out “*Dumfino,” and sank back into his chair, The stranger was tired and he wanted to goto bed, so ho shook Ed once again und asked him where the night porter was, to which Ed again roplied, with a yawn that discounted the last oue, *Dumfino.” The would-be guest became desperate, and he resolvea to help himself. He put his name on the register and went to the key rack, resolved to take the first key he could find und run_chances, Bemg so tired, he disliked the idea of walking up stairs, so he woke 1d up once more und asked him if the clovator was running, and Ed replied sloepily, “Dumfino.” it suddenly occurred to tho 'stranger that he mixht wauder all over the bLouse, climb four or five pairs of stairs, and a. lust, if he found the room, get bouncea just as he gov wto bed, 8o ho tried once aguin, this time telling 15d he would give bim a dollar if he would get up and_show him a room. Ed at this bait struggied to his feot, and, witk no attempt to suppress the gupes and yawns, led the way upstairs, responding to the stranger’s question all the time with nis “Dumftne.” The room was reached, the gas lighted, und the man bezan to remove his garments, Ed fussed about 10r a minute or two, and scemng the dollar was not fortn- coming and now being pretty well awalke, said: “Say, where is that dollar?’ The guest had just laid his vestunder his pillow when he turned and, with some horrible con- tortions, imitating Ed's stretch and yawn to perfection, said in the same mumblo: “Dumfino. A Traveling Men's Club. The task of orgavizing and establishing a traveling men’s elub in Omaha is being re- vived and doubtless some sort of action will be taken before long.

It was in an ordinary hat box, and, as I was going home, I con- cluded that I woulda't wear it, but would just carry it with me m the box.

Among the many families who went into the mountaing to spend vhe heated term was that of Mr. C. W. Wilberg, of Mount Tabor, who had with him sev- eral fricuds. The last two weoks were spent in the shadow of Mount Hood, at Summit Prairie. As is the custom with most campers, each day’s gramme, be it fishing or rid faithfully carried out. The most exciting featurs of the programme was that of climbing Mount Hood.

The party reaching the summit of Crater Rock did not get back to the ms at the foot of the mountain until 7 o'clock at night, aithough the ascent was begun at 10 o'clock in the morning. hen noses were unted on arrival at the _ bottom of the mountain three were missing—NMiss Salliec Wilberg, Mrs. George Bonan, and M Frank Morgan, of East Por land. They were lost somewhere along the mountain, Without delay the maining ones were driven back to the camp, loaving behind on the mountain two young men, Carry and Ketchum, to build bonfires and fire signal guns. Volunteer help soon arrived from camps, and by 10 o'clock, it is said, twenty men, with lanterns, dogs, guns. and horses, were scouring every nook and vice of Mount Hood for the three lost ones. Large signal fires were built at intervals of “every quarter of a mile about the southeast and west base of the mountain, and squads of searchers had already encompassed the 15t lava fields above the timber line without response to either a halloo or gunshot. Shortly before midnight, wway on tho eastern slope of the moun- tain, mear White river eanyon, the throe women were found, perched upon a large stone, huddled together, with onc long pole with an iron pike at the end which they had used as an alpen- stock and as a weapon of defense vinst the panthers and wolves that infesi the mountain side. They were weeping with joy when they were found, and gladly cited their adventurc of the night. They had taken the wrong ravine ridge leading from off the moun- tain, and had wanderedoff. At various times they heard the screams of the panther and wolf, but wisely kept quiet. They were returned to camp by the searching party. They had beenon the barren rock, 10,000 fect above the level of the sea, with a fierce cold wind blow- ing against them, until they were almost frozen to death PAXTON HOTEL, OMAHA—Special at- tention to commercial men.

SHEEP RANCHES IN KANSAS Why They Did Not Pay—The Farmers and the Rallroads—American Buatter Exporta--Eggs for the Market. An Appeal to Wheat Growoers, The Farmer Federation in convention recently assembled at Topeka, unani- mously adopted the following resolu- tions: Whereas, That by roason of new systems in business and the combinations aguinst us, that we are not, as an_agricuitural class, en- joying equal privileges with the manufactur- ing wm 1 commercial classes, and from the in- equality of exchange have for the past ton sars been sorely oppressed by the low prices farm products; and Whereas, In consequence of the depressed condition of the wheat market and the con- flicting reports of the world's supply of this cereal, be it thercfore Resolved, By the charter mombers and stockholders of the Farmers' Federation that a convention of wheat growers of the Missis- sippi valley, be and is hereby called to meet at St. Louis, on Wednesday, tho 23d of Octo- ber, 1880, for the purpose of discussing m ures for relief, and to form a wheat growers’ association Resolved, That the apportionment of rep- resentatives of said convention be one del gate for each county in the respective states and territories included in the Mississippi valley. And that the primaries to appoint dolegates to said convention be held at the county scats on Tucsday, the lst day of October, 1850, and we requost that the pro- cecdings of said_primaries be immediately forwarded to this oftice, Topeka, Kan.

America’s Butter Export. Tt 1s a matter of wonder with many why America does not more butter to the old country, and es- iaily to England; seeing that she im- > than she malkes, good s the Amer son is thy y from her as is Fr Holland, ete., that manufacture just as fine butter as we do. So you sce the cost of trans- portation has something to do_ with it, as has the delay in delivering it. There is, however.still another cause, and that is, that there is a demand, constant and imperative in this country, for fine but- ter at as high a price as Englishmen ave willing to pay. Why. theu, should we seek a market 3,000 miles aw; we have one at our door p illimitable and at as high p others are willing to pany. As the mat- ter now stands, the only export from this country worth mentioning is to Ingland »f old packed but- ter for which there really is no sale in this count, When they are ready to aceept our best makes at reasonable and fair profits, the chances are we will be able to supply the demand. Until then let us sce how good an article we can make for ourselve: An Egg Marke That there is money in supplying eggs for tablo use there is no doubt, the Towa Homestead. We believe that more money can be realized in thi than in_the sale for fax If farmers and poultrymen generally would croate retail markets---sell direct to the con- sume v would not only secure good prices, but would give mor satisfaction, The home market is ing for ‘‘fresh eggs.” Do they ge them? We venture to say there are more stale eggs, over one week old, palmed off to hotels, stores and familie than fresh ones. How many ogas are broken open that do not show a red streak in the yolk? How many are used that do mot have a stals lavor? Hotels are getting sick of it; merchants are afraid of it; families arve indignant about it, and no wonder. Here is a farmer that lets his hens run at large. They lay wherever they please. In his search for eggs he picks one up here and one there. Perbaps a weck later he discovers a whole nest of them; they may have been laid by different hens the same day, or they may have been the accumulation of on hen in o many days. It is the latter, more likely, but off to market they go, anyhow; go as fresh eggs. Here is & man runmng an incubator.

Sheep Ranches in Kansas, In 1882-'84 there was in Kansas no more popular direction for investment of money, both by actunl settlers and by capitalists, than in sheep, says a writer in the American Wool Reporter. In a little over two years the 426,492 sheep in the state were more than doubled, and still the demand was for more. In 1884 more than 1,200,000 sheep grazed upon the prairies of the state, and then came the rveaction, To-day there are about 400,000, What has caused the decrease? The sheep craze was one of the **pop- ular delusions” which bave from time to timo inflicted Kunsas.

It is a swate fitted for the higher formsof cereal and fruit culture, and is coming to those rapidly. Diversified farming, such as the cast knows so well how to carry on will make Kansas great, and her people are rec- ognizing it. In that system, with the rich soil separated into fields and or- chards, with cattle, horses and poultry growing to maturity on the farm, there 1s o room for the roaming sheep with its demand for unlimited prairie range. In moderate flocks with the grade being continually raised, and with mutton and wool, the iwo objects of its existence, it cun form a valuable adjunct tothe farm- prosperity.
