It Is Being; Qpei;uct In the Sau Joai-uin Valley- itOcVton Independent. farmers in this count' are cautioned to keep their wits about tiiem when approached by parties, of whom there are several in this vicinity, representing themselves as members or agents of a corpo ration engaged in introducing and dealing in Seneca seed wheat. -Several farmers who have had dealings with these gentry within the past few weekB are beginning to realize that they have been sold, and are anxious to exchange bonds they have received from the wheat men. in return for their notes, amounts ranging from $100 co $500, which the aforesaid wheat men have in their possession. The "business" methods of the seed man are peculiar. He offers the farmer ten bushels of seed wheat at $10 a bushel, the wheat to be delivered at some future time. As an inducement to the farmer, and in proof of the excellent qual ities of his wheat, the operator agrees to negotiate the sale of twenty bushels of the crop at $10 a buslie"l, the farmer to pay 25 per cent, commission on the sale. If the proposition is accepted, which is generally the case, the operator draws up papers of agreement, which are duly signed, and thej larmer pays $100 in cash or gives his negotiable note for that amount. The agreement or bond which the farmer receives from the oerator to guarantee the sale of wheat is worthless to the farmer and th chances are that the granger's note wiii ue hypothecated and nothing nrn re w;!l be seen of the operator or his seed wheat. Parties traveled through Oregon last fall making wheat contracts similar to those described above by the InJeirendent. Criminal pro ceedings were institnred, but the contracts had been so skillfully drawn that the' prosecution Was dropped when the "agents" prom ised to leave the state, which they did promptly.

The day had been most beauti ful; now that the evening had closed in, it seemed more lovely than ever; the moon had risen and ail nature was uressed in tplendor. The Grays' cottage was brilliantly lighted and draped tor the bridal party. In one ' par.'or tat Ella Gray and Frank linker, who were soon to take ibe. marriage vow, while, the other parlor was filled ith jtivited guests and the gou -erom supply ot" wedding presents. At iast the folding doors was tliroivn open, the minister took his place, and, with a lew brief words I and oroniises to love and honor, Ella Gray aod Frank Baker stood before the c inpany as husband auu wife. After the congratu lations, they all repaired to the dining room, whore supper was served As. the wine was passed around, Frank pushed his glass to one side without tasting it. "Wou't you drink your wine, Fraukr" "No, I would rather not" "Please do, just this one glass, the rest all diiuK theirs." ".No, Ella, that was mother's djing request that I should never taste any intoxicating drinks.''' "And jou promised T "Yes; just as she was dying, I made her this promise, and i do not wish to break it now." "But just one glass can certain ly do no haim; take it to please me." The pleading looks of hi? young Dride touched him, and he took the glass; raised it to his lips, then set it down witbout tabling, and turn ed away. Without a word he took the glass and would have diank, but just as he was putting the wine to his lips, old Uncle Hem j arose hum his seataud cried, "Stop!" ali ee were turned toward him. " "Please, Frank, let me tell you my life's story before jou taae your wine; then see il Ella will urge you to drink. I was once a cicrk in an extensive drug store with a large salary, bright pros pects, and a heart light and free as the wind that blows; I thought T wns aud ever would ue the hap ;.'iest man alive. But what crush ed my spirits, blighted my lairess hopes and dragged me down to what I now am a poor, miserable broken old man. "What.wasit? shall I tell you? It was a glass of wine handed round at a bridal party, nanded to me by the girl 1 loved, and she was once my wife. 'Drink, Henry, ta piease me,' was her smiling re quest, and, I drank; 1 could not resist the pleading look and wordt? out drank the wine to its dregs, and from that moment I have been a ruined man. And not mv life alone, but the life of the girl I married was made miserable by that one glass of wine. 'Drink, Henry, to please me,' is what brought me to this, is what blighted my life for all time to come. ' Drink , Henry, to please me,' is what blasted my wife's brightest hopes, is what broke her heart and dragged her down to an early grave ; 'Drink, Henry, to please me,' is what divl all this. Now, Ella, will you urge Frank to t ike his wine? Think o your happiness and his in the time that is to come, and never forget what harm a single glass of winfc may do." By the time Uncle Henry had finished speaking all eyes "were wet with tears, and Ella was sob bing like a child: but when she could command her voice so as to speak she promised that she would never ask Frank to drink another glass of wine, and she ever after kept her word. The wine was taken from the table, and she never set it before her guests again. The Mast DIMcait Pari. Aspirant About how long does it take to couiphte a short novel Old Hand About a year.
