The Fond Parent.

fond parent of correspondent Of The New
York Evening Sun recently. "Heis I6years
of age and too old to spank, and yet for pure
unadulterated cussedness | have yet 70

porter
ayes. Five dollars a week. replied the
almost fearful mother.
Then fine him. Fine him when he
smokes, If you don't wish him to smoke De
duct dollar from his stipend when he looks
upon the flowing bowl Dock him when he
uses language, and every time he plays
hockey or refuses TO study, chip dollar or
two of his salary That will bring him to

About three weeks after be had given this

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person a greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tatlon of passengers or property than it
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
iZe the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service

the same poiats. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronized The Missouri

StOnewall Jackson's Joke.

Few men were ever more profoundly and
invariably serious than Stonewall Jackson.
Prior to the war he was professor of natural
and experimental philosophy at the Virginia
Military institute, and while in that position
he made what is believed to have been his
first and last joke.
One morning he called up member Of the
graduating class, and with the utmost
gravity propounded the following scientific
question::
"Why is it impossible to send telegraphic
dispatch from Lexington to Staunton"
The cadet reflected for some moments, and
then replied that the explanation of this phe-
nomenon doubtless lay in the fact that the
amount of iron ore in the mountain drew the
magnetic current from the wires.
A covert smile touched upon Jackson's
features, fled away, and he said: mo, SIT;
you can take your seat"
Another was called up, but he too failed to
explain the mystery. A third, and then a
fourth were equally unsuccessful, jackson
listening to their theories with profound at
tention, but with the same sly smile which
had greeted the first attempt.
This smile probably attracted the attention
of the next cadet who was called. His coun-
tenance lighted up, his lip broke into smile
in return. and he said:
"Well, Maj Jackson, reckon it must be
because there Is no telegraph between the
two places"
you are right, sir" replied jackson, who
had suddenly resumed his composed express
sion. "You can take your seat"
Then he called the class to order, and
calmly proceeded with the recitation rs if
nothing had happened-Youth's Companion

An CncSnnY Held Of uoleA.

In Persia the cemeteries are not quite so
obtrusive as in Turkey, because the Persiaas
lay their gravestones down mostly instead OF
setting them up. Beyond this difference,
however there is little to choose between
them. Persian cemetery presents dismal
spectacle and is full Of pitfalls. The ordi
nary grave is shallow vault arched up Level
with the surface with sun dried bricks. Un-
der the influence of tine spring rains these
soft bricks crumbls away and collapse, leav-
ing the skeleton exposed. EThe holes OF
badgers and iacAals often are seen Leading
into the graves. where these ghoulish prowl-
ers have burrowed for food. Both Turks and
Persians bury their men about two feet and
a half beneath the surface and their women
from three to four feet. This shallowness
encourages spoliation By psriahs and jackals,
Having covered their dead up and marked
the spot with rude stone or two, no further
attention was bestowed upon the grave. M
fences, walls or anything inclose the ceme
terry. Both WITHIN tie walls OF c city and
without are spaces thickly crowded with
graves, with 10 defined boundaries save
that they are not built upon. In walking
through a Persian city your narrow, wind

acres of open ground. This area Is an I'd
canuy field Of holes and inscribed stones. To

AN INTERESTING INDUSTRY.
How tho Canning of Corn is Carried

How tho Canning of Corn is Carried On.
Especial Correspondence
OswEGo n. Y, Oct. S.-Nearly every one
eats canned corn, yet the eater is probably
ignorant of the process of its preparation
The quality Of the corn is, OF course, the
matter of first consideration. Quality is de-
pendent on soil Some of the sweetest corn
is raised in central New York. Along the
Fish Creek valley centering at Camden is q
peculiar light soil where corn grows at its
sweetest. Every little village from the city
of Rome to Lake Ontario has one or more
factories devoted TO the corn industry. The
other day stopped off and went through the
corn area with an expert, and noted the pro-
cess by which 1000, 900 cans-probably one
fftieth OF the product of the country-fnd
their way to the consumers.
The expert is genius in his way, who is
required to know every piece of corn under
cultivation in his district, say an area Of
twenty square miles. He must be informed
of the condition Of the corn and notify the
planters when and how much TO pick each
day, and govern, as it were his territory
firmly but with justice TO all. The factory
visited had capacity Of 10000 cans per
annum. The first thing to be noticed is the
planter as he comes i'll with his load He
may be the owner Of one or twenty acres of
corn, on which he may produce from 100 TO
L20 bushels, or about 1000 cans, and NAV
clear from $40 to $40 per acre. according to
his thrift.
He unloads his product on the ground
under a she'd where it is husked by men,
boys, women and girls 1t is carried into
the factory and put in cutting machine
which strips off the kernels. The shaker
next separates it from deleterious substances
and it is passed into warmer and cooked
at temperature of from 115 to $50 degs. II
then passes into the can, into which girl
has placed gill of prepared salt water. The
cans are wiped, capped, sealed and thrust by
the basket Gron) full into cooking tanks
From these they are taken to the outer
yard, sprayed with cold water and left for
twenty-four hours to dry. In the packing
house the cans are tabled and are then ready
for the market. They are shipped in cases
containing twenty-four cans, of which 400
cases make car load. Camden alone ships
104 car loads annually, ana may be called
a fair exemplifcation of the industry.

STORIES ABOUT MEN.
How Raymond Rescued q Colored Boy
from = Watery Grase.


A good story. illustrative of the presence
OF mind of the late John T. Raymond, is told
by an old actor. Raymond's company was
making one night stop in q little Georgia
town. The play was one in which the ocean
played a prominent part The only ocean
owned by the managers of the theatre was
very old and weak. 1t had seen much duty
and was in very crippled condition
To illustrate the rolling Of the waves, q
number of street gamins were hired to go
underneath a big blue cloth and bob up and
down.
The play was In its most interesting part.
Raymond was getting OF some Of his best
gags He was the only actor on the stage,
and the audience was uproarious, when an
accident occurred that came near wrecking
the play.
Among the "waves" was little negro.
The space was very narrow under the ocean,
and the bobbers got quite warm This par
ticular little negro felt the heat. He removed
one by one his habiliments, until his red
shirt alone covered his nakedness.
In themidsU of one of Raymonds best gags
the old blue cloth ocean suddenly ripped and
broke, and the aforementioned little negro
was seen gallantly struggling with the waves.
"Man overboard" cried out Raymond.
Some of the stage hands, dressed as sailors,
rushed in and threw the little negro a rope
The drowning wave" grabbed an end and
the sailors dragged him out. When the au-
dience saw the little plckaninriy in nothing but
his red flannel shirt, they simply roared.
The little negro was the hero Of the town
ever afterward York Evening Sun.

Artistic Exaggeration.

military coat buttOned close to his chin, CIV
ing him much the appearance of a preacher.
His delivery is very impressive and, with the
unsuspicious, convincing. The colonel would
not hesitate TO claim that in q historic gamt
Of draw poker played for coffee beans out al
his farm, he drew three cards to &
pair OF queens and filed ont a royal
sequence, and no one but an expert
would doubt what the colonel said,
and even the expert would not question his
sincerity. Recently Col Wade took q trip
down the river and spent few days In quiet
Maryland When he returned be found a
constituent from q remote part OF his district
waiting 10 see him. The colonel was all alta
bilIty. He took the Missourian 70 the house
and in the course of a lull in the proceedings
escorted him to the restaurant member
who sat near Col. Wade's table heard him re-
lating the circumstances of his trip. Out
