a SCHOOL BOYS COMPOSITION Corns
are Of two kinds-vegetable and animal.
Vegetable corn grows iii rows, and ami
mai corn grows on toes. There are sew
eral kinds of corn there is unicorn, cap
ricorn, corn dodgers, field corn and toe
corn, which is corn you feel most. 1t is
said, | believe, that gophers like corn,
but persons having corns do not like to
"g go lar," ii they can help it. Corns
have kernels, and some colonels have
cOrns. Vegetable corn grows on ears,
but animal corn grows on the feet at the
other end OF the body. Another kind of
corn is acorn; these grow on oaks, but
there is hoax about the corn. The
acorn is corn with an indefinite article,
but the corn is very definite article in
deed. Try it and see. Many man
when he has Il corn wishes it was an
acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes
send for doctor, and if the doctor him
sell is corned, he probably won't do so
well as if he isn't. The doctor says
corns are produced by tight boots and
shoes, which is probably the reason why,
when II man is tight, they say he is corned.
If II farmer manages well, he can get II
good deal OF corn on an acre, but | know
oi II farmer that has one corn that makes
the biggest acher on his farm. The big
ger crop Of vegetable corn II man raises,
the better he likes it; but the bigger crop
of animal corn he raises, the better he
does not like it. Another kind of corn is
corn dodger. The way it is made is very
simple, and is as folows-that is If you
want to know: You go along the street
and meet man you know has corn,
and rough character; then you step on
the toe that has the corn on it, and see
if you don't have occasion to dodge. In
that way you will hnd out what corn
dodger is.

AN ENORMoUs SNAK En- the zoolog-
ical gallery OF DR.. Cunningham, Garth
age, Missouri, may be seen the greatest
native American wondor cxtant-a snake
~ feet inches in length, and II inches
ir circumference, resembling in many
particulars tho tiger python Of Africa,
coiled in tremendous folds, with head
erect, mouth open aud mammoth forkcd
tongue protruding as it about TO gulp
down at one spring everything in reach.
This snake, which DR.. Cunningham has
named the lead python Of tho Southwest,
is without doubt tho largest American
reptile ever captured. The history OF
its capture is about as follows: Two
miners in Hickory county were return
ing home from prospect in the woods
in the latter part of July, accompanied
by a large dog. While passing II thicket
on tho banks Of stream, they were at
tracted by a Kissing or gushing noise,
followed Immediately by loud yell
from tho dog and crash among tho
bushes. On approaching the spot they
beheld the terrible monster in tho act OF
swallowing the dog. They fed, but soon
returned and succeeded in capturing the
reptile while gorged. The weight OF the
snake when first taken was about 800
pounds. s.-&. Louis Republican.

LOOKING FOR THE WAsHINGToN ELM
A dilapdated old vehicle, which looked
as if it had seen service way back in the
shadowy ages of tradition, drawn by an
attenuated horse, thinner than n steak
broiler and driven by an old fossil of the
human species, ratified around into Cen
tral Square, Cambridge, when the fol-
lowing conversation took place between
the old Granger and one Of the ancient
denizens Of the city:
Grange Whare's the elum tree that
Washington was shot under?
Citizen-Further up the street up in
old Cambridge. Washington wasn't shot,
he died. .fa-4 H
Granger--Oh, thought he was shot.
Citlzen-No; he fell out of a cherry
tree or killed hsself with Ratchet Or
suthin. Anyway, he wasn't shot.
Granger-Ef the old lelar could git
outer his grave he'd find it difficult ter
find out where the old ELLEN is, guess.
Citizen-Yes, Cambridge has growed a
good deal since Wasliington's time.
Dany Hill wasn't here then, or ruther
there wasn't no houses onto it.
The old granger at this point was
checking up his horses head preparatory
TO start, when there came a howl from
the interior of the old ark: tsu.
Nathan Proctor, are yer 'goin ter
stan there all night a bellerin ? Yer
wuss'n a billed dinner. When yer git
talkin' yer can't stop yer pizen mouth
MORN ye can stop rat hole with pod
beans"
With a frightened look the old man
turned and whispered in the ctizen's
ear:
Did you ever hear Of the Peaslees oi
Weymouth Landing Well, | married
inter that family like dummed idiot,
and amt knowed no peace since. Tho
old woman's high tide when she lays
herself out she's gun-powder and nitro
glycerine she's six hundred thousand
strong. Oh, she's awful, you bet. u
she knowed what have tole you she'd

And then the old man drove off "tel

He WASN'T THrRE.-The baby who
wasn't at the Union Far was at the
postotlicc in his little buggy Yesterday.
He was baby with snag teeth, yellow
hair, white eyes and an ugly kick to his
heels. a pedestrian tried to pat him on
the nose, and the young generation
struck at him and howlcd disconsolately.
a bootblack pinched his foot, and the ba-
by kicked right and left and made the
covers fly
He wasn't at the fair, was he ?" in
quired one of the boys as the mother
came out.
4 guess he waSn't-not much," she
answered. "He was home, minding bis
business"
"Then he didn't get golden eagle ?"
He didn't get nothing" she snapped.
" don't pnt my flesh and blood on exhi-
bition for no golden eagles, or golden
geese, or golden anything else.
But he'd have taken the A. l, O. X,
xxx premium you'd had him there"
persisted the ooy.
He's just rs good as he is handsome"
she replied as she tucked the clothes
down. I've been told over and over
again that he is the handsomest baby in
Detroit"
Nv ould you sell him ?" seriously in
qured the boy.
Sell him Why, what could you do
with II baby ?"
"I'd paint his nose, dye his hair, whit
tie out some good teeth for him, trim his
ears down, and then sell him for tobac-
co sign" whispered the boy.
This is why II woman was yesterday
seen chasing II boy around the postotlice
square, always just near enough to get in
II kick, but always just an instant too
late to hit the spot. When policeman
topped her she had both hands clenchcd,
her eyes flashed fire, her teeth were hard
shut, and she gasped

A BabOOn Mother.

A Mr.. Hazcly, in a lecture on Africa,
tells the following story: A woman, be-
longing to q settlement of about $50
souls, went one day TO gather some
wood, and left the child on the ground
to take care of itself. While the moth
or was gone, a female baboon appeared
on the scene, and, espying the child, ap-
preached and began to fondlc it.. The
child was allowed to partake of the
baboon's milk, which deprived it of any
appetite for its mothers. When the
mother returned, she noticed that the
child was carefully covered with leaves,
and had lost its hunger. This was done
for several days before the mother as
certamed who performed the uhthank-
fnl act. When the mother did. find out
the door she induced the mon of hen
tribe to lie in wait for the baboon tho
next day. The animal noticed the men
raise their weapons to fire, and began
to wave her hand, or paw, as if asking
them not to kill her, and at the SAND
time pointed to II young n at he1
breast, but the natives killed her. Nd
sooner had they done so, however, thai
the male baboon put in its appearance
and, by q loud shout, summoned other
of his tribe to the spot. Then, in
body, the animals attacked the natives
and forced them to flee to their huts fo
safety. One OF the balloons trackei
them to their settlement, and the, neY
day they were visited by about SO
balloons, who assaulted them WITH cd
coanuts, and compelled them TOD ru
away from their homes. The ANNA
kept a watch over the huts for sever
days and prevented the natives from r
turning to their dwellings.
