ORIGIN or WHEAT IN AMEEICA-
Some time ago we published the com
monty received statements in regard To
the Introduction Of wheat into America
from Europe: but il the fact stated
below De true. then wheat must have
been grown IN America long before the
advent of the Spanish. English. or
Dutch to this country. OF even of the
NoISemen. 1t IS generally supposed
that COTteZ planted in Mexico, in 1890,
the first wheat ever grown on American
soil. From Mexico wheat was intro
duced into Peru. The English and
Dutch brought il to the present limits
OF the United States at the time OF
their first settlements here 1907. 1914.
and 1929. Now, however. the story Is
brought forward that wheat was known
TO the Mound Builders. who inhabited
this country Heaven Cniv knows how
many centuries ago. but certainly no
later than the year 1890 y u. As our
readers are aware. these abOTigines have
LEFT traces OF their occupation all over
OUT country. especially In the MissiSsiU-
pi Valley. IN the mound opened in
Utah were found buried the remains OF
a man nearly six and a haii feet in
length. the skeleton of a woman nearly
as long. and, moreover. several hands
fUl of wheat preserved in a stone box
. Ii this discovery was really made, and
/ we are assured that il was, the supDosi-
tion that wheat was unknown IN Amer
lea before the coming of Europeans is
erroneous. IT has commonly been sup
posed that the only cereal known 10 The
Mound Builders was our maize or ln-

expected that il would leap down upon
him
''If ii would only do so before he
reached my side ii would prove nv sal
walton.
''CloSer and closer the villain drew
toward me. Only a moment more. and
he would be so near that he could reach
me with his outstretched hand. There
was not an instant to be lost. and I was
just on the point of springing to nv feet
when. quick as a flash of lightning, the
panther cleft the air, and landed square
" upon the shoulders Of the villain with
his claws and fangs buried deep in his
flesh. y terrible CRY of terror and rage
burst from his lips as he went down with
his blood dyeing the earth. AT the same
instant l was upon my feet, and drawing
a pistol, / sent a bullet through the
beast. lt did its work we'll. though even
in death the brute clung TO its victim.
and when at last its struggles were over,
l pulled il from the bleeding man. 1
saw that it had done its work. The
impress of death was on the Villains
face, and in a few moments he was dead.
Il left them both lying there and hur-
ried on to the next settlement, where /
told my story. With help l returned,
and the dead man was carried back to
his home where no one seemed to regret
his fate.

panther stuffed and should you ever
come my way, gentlemen. / should be
pleased to show it to you. -

4 HERITAGE OF RUIN-A genera
tiOn ago there lived IN a Western city n
wealthy English gentleman. who was
what is called "a high liver. " He drank
his toddy in the morning, washed down
his lunch with champagne, and finished
a bottle of port for dinner, just rs he had
done in England, though he complained
that heavy wine disagreed with him
here, owing to the climate
He died OF gout at 80, leaving four
sons. One of them was an epiletic; two
died from drinking. Good fellows. 80
generous, witty. honorable young men,
but before middle age miserable sots.
The oldest of the brothers was man
OF fixed habits, occupying a leading
place in the community from his keen
intelligence. integrity and irTeproach-
able morals. He watched over his
brothers. laid them ia their graves, and
never ceased TO denOunce the vice that
had ruined them.
Whenhe was passed middle age. finan-
cial trouble brought him into low ner-
vouS condition for which wine was pre-
Scribed. He drank but one bottle.
Shortly afterward his affairs were right.
and his health and spirits returned.
But after this time it was observed that
once or twice year. he mysteriOuSly
disappeared for a month OF SIX weeks
Neither his partner. wife or children
knew where he vert. lie continued TO
occupy the foremost position Of trust in
his native town but. at last. when he
was an old Crey-headed man. his wife
was telegraphed from an obscure neigh
boring village, where SIZE found him dy-
ng of mania-a-potu. He had been in
the habit of hiding there when the de-
sire for liquor became maddeninE. and
when there he drank like a brute.
1t Is recognized physiological fact that
in many families dypsommia is heredi-
tary, As consumption is in others. The
children of moderate drinkers almost
invariably receive from them this hcri-
tageof ruin. For them total abstinence
is the Only safety. They should avoid
stimulants as the cOnsumptive does the
cold or the scorbUtiC patient the heat

TIE JUDGE AND THE Juror, In
one OF the western States u case was
tried, and at its termination the judge
charged the jnry. and they retired for
consultation. Hour after hour passed
and no verdict was brought in. The
judges dinner hour arrived, and he be-
came hungry and impatient. Upon in
quiry he learned that one obstinate jury
man was holding out against eleven.
That he could not stand, and he order
ed the twelve men to be brought before
him. He told them that i'll his charge
to them he had so plainly stated the
