NEW IDEA FOR WOMEN.

Mrs. Cotton Wants Government Recogni.

A new idea Was advocated before TIC

Southall Cotton Of North Carolina, one
Of the braiuiest women in the congress,
put forth the idea and championed it III
strong speech.

lis. OF course she did not want to make
soldiers and sailors out Of the wcnien,
but she wanted to make them relatively
as useful t, their sex and their country
in some capacity suited to their talents,
and she wanted the government to pro-
vide for them to be trained. III
The idea is one that has not been adj
vocated to any extent, and, put forward
in the strong manner in which Mrs..
Cotton presented it, it created wide IN

A Story Of Eugene Field.

When Clara Louise Kellogg was in the
zenith Of her fame, Eugene Field accom-
plished feat which was attained by no
other st. Louis reporter, in that he gain
ed at once her friendship and an inter-
view. Miss Kellogg's mother accompa-
MED her on all her tours and religious
" warded of newspaper men. One day
Field called at the L;ndell hotel and
sent up his card. Miss Kollogg's mother
entered the parlor and informed the
nonchalant young man that her daugh-
ter could not be seen. Field replied that
he had not called as q newspaper man,
but as an amateur actor. Seating him
self at the piano, he sang two or three
ballads and so charmed the old lady
that she summoned her daughter, ard
the two spent the afternoon together in
music. Ever after that Miss Kellogg
never visited st. Louis without recei7-
ing a call from Eugene Field.-St.

James McNeary, conductor on thu
Sixty.third street electric line, has

According to McNeary, Pietzel boarded
his car few days previous to Holmes

around tho greater part of his face, Sc
that he was completely disguised

Public Sentiment In Favor Of : Memorial

Everybody says, Let the children
build monument in memory Of their

opinion. Artists, educators, teachers,

in general are unanimous in support Of
the idea The children, too, have taken
up the project withus much enthusiasm
as they would if they had conceived it
themselves. Hundreds Of little ones
whom Eugene Field first introduced to
the fairyland of poetry are putting
their candy money in little tin banks, -
so that they may have a share inthe
memorial when it is built.

MOUND BUILDERS CORN.

After Burial For Centuries 1t Grows Like
Seed Grain.
A curious experiment was made this
summer by Charles Graham, nursery
man Of Ohio Falls, Ind, and the result
lies upon the desk before your CORE
spondent as 10 writes. Last year Mr.. A.
A. Graham Of Mount Vernon, Ind,
made visit to the vicinity Of Alton,
Ills, and called upon friend who had
Just opened a mound builders burial
mound.
Upon the mound grew several large
trees, among them an oak feet in
diameter, and thus the age of the mound
was established as considerable. In it
were found the crumbling remains Of
bones, and among other utensils large
pot, containing maize very much like
our present common red corn. Of this
Mr.. Graham secured several grains, and
on returning home planted it. 1t grew,
and the result was that he produced a
strain of corn which is most likely the
ancestor of the corn we now cultivate.
In spite Of having been in the grave
for certainly not less than 400 years, it
grew very rapidly and produced large,
we'll shaped ear upon fairly tall stalk.
The ear is we'll set, the grains being
somewhat smaller than any Of the pres
emit varieties. except popcorn. In shape
the grain resembles dried sweet corn,
being rough and wrinkled. In taste it
is sweet and agreeable. Indianapolis

The Overland Express Held Up
by Robbers Near St.

After Considerable Trouble They
Left Without Getting
Any Booty.

ST CLOUD, Mimi, Nov. 19.-The over
land train on the Great Northern ROAD,
which is due to arrive here at 1920 p.
M, was stopped by masked men eight
miles east of St. Cloud. The train was
crowded with passengers and was run.
ming along at the usual rate. The first
intimation that anything OF the kind
was about to be attempted was received
by William Carley, the fireman. Car
ley was starting to shovel in some coal
and as he turned to the coal box rs'
volyer in the hands of q masked man
was stuck in his face. The robber Or
dered him to tell the engineer to stop
or he would kill him. The engineer
turned and saw the robber and instantly
reversed the lever. Just as the train
came to standstiu another masked
man came up alongside of the engine,
and, presenting q rife, ordered the
engineer and fireman to get Oft and un-
couple the engine and baggage car from
the rest of the train. The engineer
Did As He Wa. Ordered.
and the engine and single car pro-
ceeded in the direction Of st. Cloud.
When within several miles Of the city,
however, the engineer was ordered to
stop, but before the robbers could make
any Roadway they were frightened
away and made good their escape.
When the two robbers left the engine
and car the engineer proceeded to st.
Clond, where posse Of men was taken
on board and the engine proceeded back
to the balance Of the train. The pas
sengers were badly frightened by pistol
shots, which gave them their first in
timation that their train was being held
up. but they were not molested. The
conductor, G. H. Craveson, and spe-
cial detective, who happened to be on
board, exchanged shots with the 'vo-
bers, but nobody was injured. The
train was taken to St. Cloud and pro-
ceeded on its way west between two
and three hours late.

A Baby Crusade.

A novel crusade is proposed by some
women in Brooklyn. It is to be directed
against the practice some mothers and
nurses have of leaving their babies in
baby carriages in the street outside big
stores while they are inside shopping.
The crusaders are moved to act by sew
eral considerations. First and foremost
of these is the fact that the exposure and
the neglect are bad for the babies. Then
the babies interfere with traffic by col
lecting crowds Lastly the reformers
think that such treatment Of infants has
a bad effect morally on tie children and
their mothers. -New York Snn.
