New Way to ausk Corn.

From the Chambersburg Reposi-
tory of January 15:-Mr. ]. A. Ry-
der of near Loudon, . few days ago
inaugurated an idea for husking and
shelling corn which il used extern
sively in the west, but this 10 the
first instance We have heard of in
Franklin county. He had cut all his
corn with . harvester and hauled it
to the barn. A few days ago he fix
cd up an old separator as an expert
mont, and fed the corn into it Just the
same as wheat, not caring much
whether he broke the machine or
not. The result was most satisfac-
tory. The corn was nicely husked
and shelled, while the fodder was
neatly stripped and uninjured. Mr..
Ryder says that as far as he is con-
cerned at lesst, the former plan Of
sitting out in cold field for days,
husking corn is passed. and he thinks
it will be only short time until a
machine similar to separator is in
veatsd, that will do both the husking
and sheliIng of corn. Mr.. Ryder al
SO has small burr mill in his barn
and in this way also does his chop
ping ready for feeding.

Ex-President Harrison's Finance

Some one writing of Mrs Dim
mick, ex-President Harr:son's FL
ancee says:-
Mrs. Dimmick is not a beautiful
woman in the ordinary sense. She
has neither Hnfathomab!e eyes, fault.
less features nor aravishing complex
ion. 1t is not the senses she takes
by storm, but the heart.
Her face is fairly youthful. with
the ebullience of good feeling. The
eyes dance with enjoyment as she
talks, and the lips smile frequently
and almost girlishly. You can see
she enjoys tn. situation. To become
the wife Of Benjamin Harrison in
sures past as we'll as future. She
is woman enough to raise her hand
to her hair once or twice, SO that you
may see her engagement ring.
Her eyes have prevailing tints of
haz7l, and every school girl knows
that such eyes mean st.adfastness
and truth
The face is little care worn, but
you remember that its owner has
been tried in the battle of life. The
forehead is low, broad and unwrink-
led and crowned with an ample cor
onet of soft brown hair; the nose
straigh. and delicate; the lips trifle
too thin, perhaps, but firm and con-
tented in expression.
As you absorb these characters
tics, you begin to understand what
Mr. Harrison meant when he said
thai Mary Dimmick was the only wo-
man in the White House who knew
enough to be silent when he wanted
to be quiet and think. Socrates
would have given up his familiar
spirit for such . woman as this.
She dresses plainly and wears no
jewelry save pin at the throat and
few rings, ono Of them q solitaire

CC0Ftod by PROXY.

A remarkable suit was brought in
Justic" Rodgers Court, st. Paul, the
other day by Casper Schmidt, q far
NOR, against Augustus Sidenkranz,
another farmer, both residing near
the State Fair grounds.
Schmidt tells humorous tale in
the complaint which has been fled at
his request. He says Sidenkranz told
him to look sbout for . wife for the
lonly but thrifty Sidsnkranz. Schmidt
thought he could do that for his
neighbor, and Sldenkranz, 20 Schmidt
says, became quiet urgent, and said
If the latter would make him acquaint.
ed with a woman and they got n ar
ried, he would give him, Schmidt,

Schmidt said that was entirely sat-
isfactory. and he asked for SO by
way Of retainer. The money was
paid, and he proceeded to the home
of his sister in law, who had no OBJ
jections to giving her heart and hand
to prosperous tilIsr of the soil. She
listened to Schmidt's tale of love on
Sidenkranz's behalf, and finally
Schmidt, to clinch the bargain, bought
her some ice cream and played the
game that John Alden one PLAYED
with success, for in tho present case
the shy young maiden did not spoil
the prospects of the absent lover BY
saying: "Why don't you speak for
yourself, John7"
Schmidt introduced his sistsr-in-

while he watched tho happiness of

The South Africa Trouble.

Tho English and dutch are Great.
ing the trouble in South Africa.
That is, the English are on one side
and the Dutch on the other. The
English are the parties who are at
fault and must be charged with the
trouble that is caused in Africa and
Europe by their interference with
the interests and rights of the Dutch
or Beers as they are called in Africa.
The Pennsylvania Methodist in
speaking Of the situation says:
This is the Dutch name for peasant,
or farmer, and is used by common
consent TO designate the Dutch Col
onists of South Africa. The first Of
these settlements was made by Hol
landers in the beginning of tho 18th
century.
1t grew rapidly while the Neither
lands We're ruling maritime power;
but during the 18th the adventurous
spirit Of the dutch died away, and az
the influx of fresh elements from
Europe diminished, the original set
tiers Of Cape Colony developed pc
culiar character of their own, singu-
lsrly blending the steadiness aud de-
liberation of the Dutch with the reck-
lessness and energy of the English.
In 1914 the Colony WAS transferred
to Great Britain but maintained a
secret but constant opposition against
all efforts to anglicise the Colony.
The intermeddling of the English
caused the colcnists in 1885 to abandon
their homes and migrate in different
bands, North, East and West, under
different leaders and to form new
solonies. In 1S4S the British drove
them from their possessions again
and after a few years they moved

The last attempt to subdue or hu
initiate these German Puritans was
inaugurated at the instance OF a grea,
commercial company with one DR.
Jameson acting as their agent. The
love of money and the necessity oi

the motive, Jameson depended upon

Raised His Own Coma From

Frcm the rittsburg Commercial Gazette.
6REENsBURa, Ind, January a.
Judge Oren X. Farthine, of Bartho-
lomew county, who is now 81 years
o.d, was in his day a prominent law
and judge. He is wealthy and &C.
centric. Forty years ago he planted
near his front doorstep q walnut with
tho svowsd intention of securing from
the tree timber for his coffin. The
tree throve steadily. The other day,
feeling strongly the inhrnitics of
age, the judge ordered the tree cut
down and sawed into boards. Then,
by his direction, the carpenter took
his measure and began the coffin.
On Saturday the judge suffered .
paralytie stroke, and he is now urg-
ing the carpenter to make haste. The
physician says that the Judge cannot
live longer than . day or two.

One day an inspector walked into an

it. The message was as follows:

The inspector smiled as he listened
to the message, while the poor clerk
looked quite helpless. His superior,
however. went to the instrument and

California Miners Lined Up For the Mall.
and Piaccs Were Worth $500.
A we'll known patent attorney in this
city, who was in California in the early
mining days. apropos the publication in
The Post of the cost of carrying mails
ON tho Yukon, makes some interesting
statements about similar service ON the
Pacific coast in 1S49-5O:
1--WE had to pay II for every letter
sent or received, he states, besides
tho government postage. We were in
the mines and had to send . messenger,
with an order for the postmaster to de-
liver to him our mail ut Sacramento, a
distance Of from IS to 100 miles, ac-
cording to the location Of the camps.
Parties made q business Of carrying the
mail and had regular routes around
through the mining camps.
"-At that time mail went by way Of
the isthmus. there being but one steam
er every three weeks. As q result, at
San Francisco and at Sacramento, the
two main Offices and supply points for
the state, there would be large crowd
waiting every time mail arrived. They
finally adopted a rule among themselves
requiring all to form in line and take
their turn, and hundreds stood or laid
in line day and night to keep their
places, sometimes several days before
they could be served, the line being
formed days before the steamer arrived.
Resident spoculators would take position
in the line, and when they had advanc-
ed near the door would cell their place
to others from the mines, who were
waiting. frequently getting from $lGO
to $500.
"Such thing can hardly be believed
by those who have never had any such
experience, but in the fall Of 1s49 an OK
team driver got $40 per day and board.
Sundays being counted the same as 9TH
er days, while carpenters got from an
ounce ($IG) to an ounce and half per
day. everything else costing in proper
tion, and hence the mail carriers for the
mines could better afford to pay for the
position in line than to wait on expense
and lose the time. they sometimes being
