INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A
WATER MELON.
Yesterday morning Marshal Gibons
presented himself with a big, luscious
watermelon, from the wagon of a farmer,
as the latter was in a store trying to sell
his wares. For some reason Ralph was
in a hurry to get rid of it so he passed
into the city engineer's office and enter
ing the recorder's office by the side door
.ho deposited the melon in a corner,
The recorder was absent and the door of
his office was shut, so Ralph passed out
on the sidewalk by the way he had
entered, nnd then tried to look innocent
like, as he walked down the street and
turned the corner. At this moment C
L. Phillips entered the engineer's office
and enquired for the recorder. He
wasn't in. Then Charley peeped
through the ' side door and seeing the
melon, he picked it up and walked off
with it. A. short time, only elapsed
when Charley appeared on the street
and hunting up Marshal Gibons, I. J
Norman, Jack Stanicls, S. E. Farris and
the recorder, he invited them over to
his soda water factory for a drink.
When they entered the factory they
were delighted to find a fine water melon
cut up and ready for use. Charley told
them to fall in and they did and then he
treated them to ginger pop and sarsapar-
illa, while they thought he was the best
fellow in the world, but Ralph never
knew he had eaten part of his own water
melon, till he went back to the record'
era office and tried to find it.
THE TRUE- CAUSE OF HIGH
WHEAT AND LOW WOOL.
An exchange asks : "We wonder what
the McKinley bill lias to do with the
rise in the price of wheat and the fall in
the price of wool?" The Chronicle
may be wrong but it is of the opinion
that the McKinley bill has nothing to do
with either the one or the other. The pres
cnt rise in wheat is simply the. result of
.an anticipated shortage in the aggregate
wheat supply of the world. Had the
.products of the great wheat countries of
the eastern hemisphere been equal, this
year, to what they have been in some
years that are past, wheat, today, would
likely be selling in a dull market in
Chicago at eighty cents, instead of in a
highly excited market; at $1.05 to $1.15
And this would have been true if the
name of McKinley had never been heard
-of. The very best that protection can
-do, in this regard, is to create a home
market, by creating an army of consum-
era who are not producers of bread stuffs,
and thus indirectly effect the foreign
market, by the shortage of oar surplus
for export. This seems so plain that it
requires no argument. The law of sup
ply and demand fixes the price abroad
as well as at home. Even where pro
tection creates a home demand the law
continues to rule and fix the price. And
the same law applies equally to the wool
market.! Shut out foreign Wools that
comes in competition with our home pro
duct and the price must inevitably rise
in the long run. It cannot be otherwise
never waB and never will be. Supply
and demand fix the price. Limit the
supply by protective restriction, and the
demand being equal the price must rise,
This is history, not theory, fact, nor
fancy. Whence then the low price of
wool? For the simple reason that the de-
mand is not equal to the supply and in
a much lesser degree' because of the
Stringency in the money market that
shuts off speculation in wool and limits
the purchase of that commodity to the
actual requirements of themanufactur
ing trade. One consideration alone, that
seems to have been very generally for-
gotted by writers ton this subject, fully
accounts for the depression .and lower
prices that have ruled in the wool " mar
ket during the present season. It is the
well known Jact that immense quantities
of foreign wools and woolen inanufac
tnrcs were imported last falli , in antici
pation of the passage of the McKinley
bill. These importations have been es
timated by conservative judges to be
nearly equal to a full year's supply and
they are-gull an important factor in the
wool'aif nation..' Till this supply is used
' up and passes into the hands of the cun
Burner it is nnrensoualile t exitcet the
full effect of an increased tariff restrict
tion. : The large demand for wool in tne
Boston market, daring the past thirty
days, gives assurance that manufactur
ers believe that prices are not likely to
recede and better prices will surely come
when the immense exportations of gold,
that have been sent out of the country
n payment for goods purchased in an
ticipation of the passage of the McKin
ley bill return in payment of our exports
of wheat and other bread stuffs.

A Tear of Abundance.
Washington, Aug. 21. Statistician
Dodge, of the department of agriculture.
says:
The year promises to be one of abun
dance in almost all lines Of agricultural
production. ' Preliminary returns of
acreage made the wheat area about 40,
000,000 acres. On that basis the crop
Should not tan Deiow ozo.uw.uuu bushels
Oats are the least promising of any ce
reals. Acreage in rve is little changed
but - the August condition is better
promising a larger crop. Barley acreage
is apparently the largest ever seen, and
the present condition warrants that the
crop will be considerably above the
average.

' Evolution of the Knife.
"This easeful of implements which
we have newly placed on exhibition is
designed to show the development of the
tool which we call the knife, beginning
from the earliest times, said Professor
Mason at the National museum. "First,
you observe, is the fragment, of flint,
which the savage split by banging it on
top with a stone hammer into a number
of flakes. . The smaller ones were nsed
for arrow points and the bigger ones for
knives, their edges being split off so
sharp that you might almost shave with
some of them. Next yon see the flint
inserted into a handle of split wood or
bone, and as farther improvements, the
fastenings of this primitive knife in the
handle by the rosin of trees and by cord
of one sort or another bound around to
secure it.
'The most beautiful knife in the col
lection is this exquisitely molded blade
of greenish jade, belonging to the stone
age, branded with a walrus tusk. You
can hardly find a more admirably form
ed weapon among the products of mod
ern cutlery wares. Most curious of the
modern tools here is this sailor's knife,
square at the end instead of pointed, to
prevent stabbing in a row, or the dan
gerous falling of the weapon from aloft.
Its blade drops out at the end of the
handle when a spring is touched, so
that Jack can hold a rope with one hand
and open the knife for service without
the need of ten fingers." Washington
Star. '
All on Account' of a Hen.
Twas only a little hen, with a lopped
comb and a flushed face, that broke up
the pastorate of an able Maine parson.
She used to sneak under the fence, you
know, just the way hens do always, tip
toe across the grass border with the min
uet step and then the elder's garden had
to take it. Of course it was aggravat
ing. Did you ever watch a hen at this
job?
She trips carelessly into the middle of
the garden bed; she cocks her head; a
careless look comes into her eye; she bal
ances partners with a flip and a scrape to
the right, a flirt and a kick to the left, a
double shuffle and a grand skirt dance
flourish. Then she looks for grub.
Well, that person saw the whole thing
for days; same hen, same gestures, and
she came in miraculously, astonishingly,
through a new hole every day. Then
came at length wrath and a girding of
the loins; a gun, bang! dead hen float
ing upon the placid breast of a river
eddy. The current washed the corpse
upon the neighbor s strand and then the
neighborhood heard the tale. The atroci
ty was fanned vigorously and the poor
parson found that he was not to be an
assassin and the leader of the parish at
the same time. Therefore his . farewell
rmon. Dexter Gazette.

Our Coventor's Opinion on Farming.
Governor Pennoyer, on his return
from an outing, stopped long enough in
Albany to tell a Herald reporter that he
was raised on a farm until he was 22
years of age, and once knew how to
wing a cradle in fact was a pretty
good harvest hand himself. He said he
believed the multiplicitv of -inventions
in harvesting machinery, while it no
doubt saves labor, -does not put money
in the farmer's pocket, that a man on a
small farm could make more money to
go back to the old way of harvesting.

Yesterday, to the wife of John An
drews, a girl.
They tell a good joke on a Sound
statesman who was recently visiting in
Spokane, Riding on the train through
the night, while chatting with his fellow
travelers, they were suddenly startled
by an-expression of amazement on the
face of the visitor. First he would stare
at them and then gaze with the utmost
interest at some object in the sky.
They rushed to the window expecting
to see shootinjr stars or , a comet, out
there was nothing but the bright' round
orb that niirhtlv sheds lunar refulgence
on the earth.. Turning to his compan
ions, the man from the . Bound said
"Gentlemen, for God's sake,- what is
that?" Poor fellow, long years of resi
dence mid summer smoke and winter
fog had caused him to forget that there
was sncn a thing as a moon.
Rob Lucas and Glen Baker had quite
a mishap with, the ferry boat .across big
Klickitat at James Rusk's place last
week. While crossing they managed to
tip the boat which immediately nlled
with water and sank. ' The boys held on
to the cable and reached the shore. 'The
water was onlv about four ' feet deep at
this point but was so swift that no one
could stand in it. The boat broke away
and was carried down stream about 200
yards where it lodged on the. sand.
