ALettetFrom An Old Saline  Boy, P.

Brooklyn, Wis., Aug. 23,1892.
Friend Andrew:—It has been a
long time since I have had a letter from
you, and fully as long since you have
heard from me. Of course the Observer never fails to reach me on Saturday, and with all the other papers we
tn ice, the Observer is the first read.
Together with the Observer and letters from relatives and friends I conclude you are having a rather dry time,
and crops are generally poor. What a
difference between two states, and so
near together, only a pond of water
divides them.
We have very good crops this year,
for all farmers were so late getting
them in on account of a wet spring.
But as soon as the weather shifted
right, crops took advantage of it and
soon were as far along as they are generally in a good opening. Oats are
rather the lightest crop, for they Went
down early, owing to the large rank
growth, and good many stayed down,
hence under the ayerage in quality and
quantity. Rye is turning out fair, also
barley. And potatoes are a big crop,
bugs did not hurt them much this year
for their growth was so fast and prodigious they could not get the start of
them. Strange isn't it that a crop can
possibly grow so fast that bugs a,nd
worms oan not eat it? Such was the
uase this year. Undoubtedly a plenty
will be on deok by another year to take
them all,a misunderstanding this time.
Corn is the best and largest that it has
been before in eight years; in this section it is simply immense and if frosts
keep off three weeks it will be out of
the way of all damage. Tobacco is a
large crop. Some pieces are being
shed now. We are situated directly in
the tobacco belt. Green Rock and
Dane counties raise more of the weed
than all the other counties of the state
combined. Wisconsin tobacco is fast
getting to the front, demands a good
price and is sought after by all the
eastern buyers, gives .employment to
thousands of men and women, especially   in the winter season as it is till
Uanfllifl and ap-cted in w-ii-e-hauaes.
We "Have bad. plenty of rain through
the season and all orops have boomed.
Farmers are pretty well pleased with
their summer labor, also merchants
who are very much interested in the
success of the granger, for through
them and their product depend the
prosperity of us all.
To-day, Aug. 24th, it is raining very
hard, a north-eastern. Hope *.fc gives
you sprinkle, for .vp,u, m.u,s.t neod it bad-
lv i? it IS M flr* *l§ we hear it is.
Mj* OW fPi*3'1^ ua& chum, Ort. Kelsey,
gave us a call a few days ago on his way
home from Minnesota and Dakota.
On account of niy partner being away
camping, it did not give me full swing,
still we did not lose much time visiting and recalling good times past the
few hours we were together. The
same Ort as old. It is a treat I assure
you to meet now and then a Saline lad.
Nextyear—the World's Pair year—we
expect to meet a number of Saliueites
as we have the promise from several to
visit us. It has about stopped rair^iRg-
and customers will be e.o,tn/nig. \y\ nad
need attention. \ w.\\\ close, sending
RW HiU^ast aogards to all, we remain,

SUOROUS SOUTH.
The J
l a St. Louis Drummer In
. Carolina.
Moa^^^Jest trick that was ever
playfea^BEe," said a St. Louis drummer 'wlflpvas trying to boom a conversation in the smoking cubby of a
sleeper, -'was by an echo in a South
Carolina town. The little town is on
the side of a hill and is as sleepy and
uninteresting a place as one will find
in a year's journey. I got into the
town on one boiling hot day in August
about 1 o'clock and proceeded to rustle around to get through business and
skip out.
"The town was so-infernally lazy-
looking that I did not have much confidence in my ability to get business.
At the postoffice corner an aged and
decrepit gray mule with flopping ears
and solemn mien presided over the
session of whittlers and tobacco squirfc-
ers who were in session under the big
sycamore tree. I accosted one of the
group to find out where Josh Wilkins,
the principal store-keeper, might be
found, and learned that he was "tending a burying over in Catnip holler.'
Just as I was about to move away I
heard a muffled cry of:
'"Help! Help!'
"The whittlers and squirters paid no
attention and the gray mule was giving all his time to a fly on the end of
his nose.
"Again I heard the distant muffled
cry of 'Help! help!'
"'It's a darn shame about that poor
nigger,' remarked one of the whittlers.
'"What's the matter with the nigger?' 1 asked, at the same time looking suspiciously at thi wooden-grated
manhole of the sewer on the corner.
'"Well, yon. see, it's this way,
stranger. Bill Starks' bull pup crawled
up the sewer from the creek and got
fast, and when the nigger crawled up
after him he got fast, too.'
"'Great heavens! Why aren't you
digging for him? The poor fellow will
die.*
"'Of course he may die, stranger,
bat then it's pretty hot to-day, aud he
is only a nigger, anyway.'
'"My God", this is inhuman! Come,
men, and we'll rescue this poor fellow.'
"Just then another cry of help drove
me almost to a frenzly. I gave some
change to the lazy colored men and
sent them for shovels and picks. They
came, and after distributing th© implements I went to digging like a
crazy man. Presently! looked around
to see wl\y the others wore- not helping
ma an.d, ?l\ei*e *.va.s. n.o,t a sow! *ju, sight.
I was wilti with rage and cried down
the manhole to ask how the man was
getting along. Not a word came in
answer. I backed off a little to survey
the work and heard the same muffled
sound so,':
'"Come off the perch, vou are an old
fool.'
"I looked around and saw the whole
town coming at me. They were laughing and shouting, and I knew I was
the oause of the great joke. They led
me to. a bar-room and told me to register in a big book, labeled 'Echo Fools.'
There were, over five hundred names
of " people who had been fooled. It
was one of these whispering echoes
"■•here sound is thrown back from the
bluff to one particular spot. It cost
me $17.80 to buy the drinks. -Detroit

The .Pickerel Lacked Grit.
"I remember, when I was a boy, going out one morning before sunrise to
fish for pickerel. I had. just hooked a
big one when along oa,rx\e a countryman. He Batto\. nothing, but, with
mouth w,i(ie, open, stopped to see the
fuii,. "p-tOf oemtost had lasted more than
■ftjUf an hour, when suddenly, when I
was just about to land the "prize, the
pickerel, with one last rush for liberty,
made good his escape. With a lump
in nVy throat, I instinctively turned to
the countryman for consolation. 'Waal,
I'll be hanged!' he exclaimed. 'Yew
held on ter your end, young feller, but
he didn't hold on ter "lus'n!1"—Youth's

"I am no ice-cream fiend," he an
swered coldly.
"And can you forego soda-water?"
"I never touch it."
"Jfor candy?"
"Mamma would never let me ac
quire the candy habit," he said, truthfully.
"Sweet boy. But you love the
theater—the matinee?"
"You forget. I was raised in Boston."
"O, then concerts are your only
weakness. Darling, there is a symphony toniaht. I am sure you wonld
like to go?'r
"Yaas* if it does not keep in too late.
Will you call for me, my Edith?"
"At a quarter to eight, precisely.
You will be all ready, dearest?"
"Yaas. I never keep any one waiting."

Rough Oa the Farmer.
"We were down, in central Illinois,"
said Comedian Lee Harrison, "boarding cheap on a farm during the off
season, two of us. The old farmer
was just full of good points, and we
amused him and he amused us. The
crows bothered him a good deal. We
could see them flying around the fields
all day. The old man told us, seeing
that we had nothing else to do, that
we could take- his gun and go out and
kill them. He would allow us ten
cents a crow, crediting it up on our
board. We hustled around two whole
days and never killed a crow, though
we worked the gunpowder racket for
all it was worth. The old farmer said
he ought to make a charge for ammunition, but would offset that against
the crows scared out of the neighborhood. The third day we came across
a sick crow that couldn't fly and killed
him with a stick, and getting ten
cents credit threw the carcass behind
the barn. Next day we found another
crow with a broken wing, and that
with the old crow behind the barn run
in again gave us twenty cents more.
A couple of days later f shut my eyes
when I fired off the gun and got two
crows and rung in the two old ones as
hefore. My 'partner got an engagement about this time, but I went
bravely on with my battle with the
crows, bringing in whole strings occasionally, and when I squared up
with the old man for summer board he
owed me $1.30." N. Y. Herald
He Might Teach Day-Times.
Bafael Joseffy, the piano virtuoso,
stood talking last evening in the Hoffman house cafe to several friends.
Near him was the owner of a provincial opera house who was bein^ shown
the sights of the town, and had the
various works of art pointed out to
him and who had also been introduced
to William Edwards.
The gentleman from the provinces
was in town to engage talent, and
when Joseffy was indicated as a great
pianist the manager scrutinized him
carefully.
"I want one," he said. "We don't
have no orchestra our way and he kin
teach in the day time."
Joseffy, oblivious of the covetous
eyes of the rural manager, was talking
as rapidly as he can when he wishes.
"If he offered me $500," he was saying. He got no further. The manager was alongside in a jump.
"I'll give you $600," he said. "Mi-
friend says you're a goo,d 'unA and hi\
lji-uwsv'*- " •    *
"For what night?" inquired Joseffy.
"For one year, beginning any night
you say," went on the manager,

Joseffy's friends were fortunately-
near enough to get between the men.
"He needn't a got mad," said the
manager, as he was led away. "It
was a square offer and there was his
days to teach in."—N. Y. World.
RIDING A CROCODILE.
It Is a Very lively  1'iperlence, Though
Hardly a 1'Ieasaut One.
A cayman from a neighboring lagoon
had occasionally poached among our
ducks, says the engineer of an estate
in India, as reported in "Tales of
Travel," and we had been for some
days on the lookout for him. One
morning we discovered him lounging
in one of the ponds, after a night's
plunder.
I ran for my gun and fired at him.
The shot merely stirred the old rogue
up; he thrashed about in the water for
a minute, and then left the pond and
started for the morass.
I tried to get aim at his head, but
was unable to do so. At this moment
David, an African wainman, came up.
and before I realized his purpose, lie
had thrown himself astride the crocodile, grabbed his fore paws and held
them doubled up across the creature's
back.
The beast -ras immediatelj* thrown
upon his snout; and though able tt>
move his feet freely and slap his tail
about, he could not bulge half a yard,
his power being altogether spent in a
fruitless endeavor to grub himself onward. He was obliged to move in a
circle, and of course was pretty nearly
confined to one spot.
The African kept his seat. He received some hard jerks, but as his seat
was across the reptile's shoulders, he
was well out of danger from jaws and
tail so long as he held on.
"Shoot'im! Megot'im!" the fellow
called to me.
I reloaded my gun, and getting good
aim at the crocoaile's head, soon put
an end to his mischief. The old fellow
measured fifteen feet.
