Mr.. Andrew Shuman, editor OF the Chica-

10 height, heavily built, almost corpuleut,
and weighs, / should think, about 90
His hair, thiniy covering q well-ro0nded
head, is light brown, and he ispartislly bald
on the top and center. His forehead is
large smooth, and well formed; his light
blue eyes hare kindly expression, aud
when be smiles give peculiar twinkle that
seem to bespesk good soul within. The
pictures and descriptions that have repre-.
sented head as apyramidal shape are not
correct, bis large head is symmetrical from
the top to about the middle of the face,
where his fat cheeks round out to a thick
neck and down TO q double chin He wears
short, light brown mustache, his face be-

and good-sized Roman nose and the portion
OF his face and head above the mouth and
fat checks remind one of Napoleon Bona

cept as 10 the eyes and those are more like
the optics of a woman or a poet than Of q
rugged statesman or warrior. His great
head sits well.poised upon short, full neck
and broad ample shoulders and full chest.
He looks like man who lives well and en-
Joys the good things of life, which he no
doubt does He dresses in plain black, is
entirely unassuming in his manners and is
as simple and approachable as any common
man. In conversation he speaks up clearly
and unhesitatingly, his voice being deep but
low, and his intelligent face is almost as ex.

With all the coming and going there is an

when you enter the room that you are on

with the view of asking favor il somehow

OF kindliness and refinement that makes the
chamber so attractive to the hundreds that
visit u daily.

to the Governor Of the Empire State, and

will not be violation OF that promise, how
ever, when state that, as the result of the
conversation and of his uttersuces, I am
favorably impressed with Grover Cleveland,
his good intentions, snd his courage. He is
inspired by better motives than the party
that nominated him for the 'aacy. he
looks and talks like 'hCrU1ghiy honest
man and q true -aze,can patriot, aud /
shall expect the : siil go prove to be when
be gets TO Washington. do not believe
him capable OF reckless partissnship. He
will do nothing that will iniure the business
interests OF the country or bring discredit
upon the Government or the Nation. He is
apparently Just man, of broad ideas aud
sympathies. No one can talk with him for
ten minutes without being thus impressed.
The question is, however, will he have the
nerve-the courage-to resist the wiles aud
the pressures Of the bad elements of his party
when he assumes the reins OF government
tered and self-relisnt man, and the people
of Albany OF both parties assure me that he
is precisely that style of man; that he has
demonstrated the fact in the gubernatorial
Office, and that he will demonstrate it even
more conyincingly at Washington:
There is one fact ! learned while In New
York City and Albany that was new to me,
and that was that many Democrats in both
those cities voted against Cleveland at the
November election, and that many ReputH-
CABS, other than the rebellious mug
wumps," voted for him. One OF the most
prominent Democrats of Albany expressed
the opinion with emphasis that ''the Repub-
licans OF New York State, who elected
Grover Cleveland Governor, also elected
him President After what heard many
times and on all sides, both IN New York
and Albany, have not the least doubt that
this is true. Having been elected by Re-
publican votes. 1 do not wonder that the
President-elect has by no means unfriend-
~ feeling toward Republicans. He has
treated them very tairly-I may say gener.
ously, as Governor of the State. and like
treatment is not at all improbable when he
gets to be President of the United States.

Horse Shoe Falls.

Since the recent rains the farmers
have about finished sowing wheat,
those that had not sown before, and
have their corn gathered. They have
taken more pains in preparing their
land and putting their wheat in the
ground in good order than / have
known them to do heretofore. We
hope they may be more than repaid
for their trouble, and still continue in
the march of improvement.
Some months ago a somewhat
strange incident occurred on Noun
tain Creek. The facts as l gathered
them are these: A lady procured a
setting of guinea eggs" and placed
them under a hen for the purpose of
incubation. In due course of time
the little guineas were Matched, but
the hen seemed amazed at the strange
appearance and language of her little
brood, but being of benevolent dis
position, she did not abandon them
to scratch for themselves, but pro-
vided food and shelter for them, al
though she looked moody and sullen.
The good lady had no idea what
the consequence would be, until one
evening the little brood came up
without matron. A careful search
revealed the fact that the hen had
actually committed suicide by hang
ing herself by the neck, or feet
high. A. w.

Corn Smut.

Prof, G. E. Bessey, Of the Iowa
Agricultural College, says of this times
ly subject in the Students Farm Jour
nal; This disease of Indian corn is
well known to be due to a minute para
site plant which gains access to the
corn plant early in the life of the lat
ter. Careful microscopical examina-
tons show the parasitic growths to be
present even in the lower joints of the
corn, and they have been seen in all
the intermediate parts. The parasite
grows in the form of very minute slen>
der threads, which penetrate the It's
sues of the corn and thereby gain nour-
ishment for growth. The threads grow
until they finally reach the young kerr
nels, where they find such an abun-
dance of nourishment that they burst
out into the too well known smutty
growths, which are so common some
seasons. Now these smutty growths
are the fruiting places of the parasite.
Cut. open such growth when it is
young, and you will find it to be white
and of a fbrous structure. A little
later it begins to show dark streaks,
and still later 1t begins to dissolve into
a black, inky slime. The water soon.
evaporates from the slime and leaves a
powdery mass, which puffs out and
blows away with the slightest jar.
This powder is made up Of countless
myriads of little black balls, called
spores, which serve to reproduce these
plants, as seeds reproduce the higher
plants. Now, every smutted ear left
in the field is seed-bed tor the pro.
ductlon of more smut the next year.
1t has been shown by experience, as
well as by direct experiment, that
tlresO0s always more smut in those
fields where there had been smut the
year before. The lesson is therefore,
obvious, gather and burn all smutted
ears.

THE ROOSTER.
How it Came to Be the Emblem of
Democratic Victory.

"Why, when and where was the
rooster adopted as the emblem of De-
mocracy?"
The question quoted above and adj
dressed to the editor of the Enquirer,
has been asked thousand times in the
last week.
1t has been suggested, no doubt, by
the great popularity of the bird since
the 4th day of November. The guess
ton has been answered before, but for
the benefit of those who do not under
stand the situation it can be answered
again.
In 1912 after the Harrison cam
paign, there was great doubt as to how
Indiana had cast her vote. The situa.
ton was similar to that in New York
today in every respect. An editor
named Chapman conducted the Demo-
cratic newspaper at indianapolis, and,
as is very often the case in boasting
over a victory, his editorial rejoicing
over the result was termed Growing"
In day or two, when some of the
back counties were heard from, it
seemed the growing had been prema
ture, and the Wing organ came out
giving late returns showing Democratic
defeat, and in the headline was the
expression:
"Crow, Chapman, crow"
This was intended as taunt, and
must have been felt, for few more
counties yet to hear from again turned
the tables, and showed that the Demo-
Gratis had won. 1t was then that the
rivil editor hoisted at the head of his
columns a magnificent rooster and
printed under the words "We Grow.
1t made palpable hit. The pas
sion for ROSTERS spread, and from that
day to this the bird immortalized by
the Hoosier editor has been the EN-.
blem of Democratic success. -Cincin.

ears,

Mr.. Robert Eldridge, of Cincinnati,
recently returned from Russia, tells
the New York Sun: In Little Russia
and Lithunia, the great linden forests
render bee keeping very profitable.
The finest honey eyer saw is pro,
duced in Kovno. Kaluga produces
annually about l,76O pools of honey,
and $500 pools of wax. A pood con-
tains about thirty>six pounds. The
annual production in the Don Cossack
country amounts to $4,000 in round
numbers. In Volhynia and Bessara-
bia the combined yield Of honey reaches
a value of nearly 100000 a year.
The annual yield of the whole empire
is not far from 100000, or about
$4,000 tons. To this must be added
nearly 5000 tons of wax, worth ST.
600, 1000. This is about all consumed
in Russia, the exports being very small.

GRUNDY COUNTY NEWS.
Items Of Interest Gathered by Our
Regular Reporter.

To the Standard.
Ny budget of news this week is
small, nothing of considerable interest
having occurred in the "city" or sur>
rounding country during the week.
Our people are delighted with the
present beautiful weather and excel,
lent condition of the roads, and seem
to be making good use of the time in
doing their necessary hauling. Some
one has taken advantage of the present
dry weather, and set fire to the woods
in various directions from Altamont,
and while write, the beautiful light
of the fire is to be seen at the horison
in almost every direction from us.
The sight is most beautiful to look
upon, and a man in Tom Northcut's
condition is eminently calculated to
appreciate the beauty of the scene, and
there is another young man within the
limits of the "clty" who seems to enjoy
the view as he and his "spice-bush"
promenade our streets just as the twi-
light disappears in the west.
Our Democratic friends are still re-
joicing over the election Of the Demo
cratic nominees for President, Cover
nor, Congressman, Senator and Floa>
ter The excitement has been greater
since the election than it was before.
Owing to the fact that two of the dis
tricts in the county have failed TO send
in the official returns, we are still un-
able to give the official vote of the
county. However, we are pleased
with the result, although the Demo-
cratic majorities are not as large as we
anticipated.
