A SCHOOLBOY ON CORNS.

Corns are of two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows, and animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds of corn there
is the unicorn, capricorn, orn-dodg-
ers, field corn, and the corn which is
the corn you feel most. 1t is said,
believe, that gophers like corn, but
persons having corns do not like to
ego fur" if they can help it. Corns
have kernels, and some colonels have
corns. Vegetable corn grows on ears,
but animal corn grows on feet at the
other end of the body. Another kind
of corn is the acorn; this grows on
oaks, but there is no hoax about the
corn. The acorn is corn with an in
definite article indeed. Try it and
see. Many a man when he has corn
wishes it was an acorn.
Folks that have corns sometimes
send for a doctor, and if the doctor
himself is corned, he probably won't
do so well as if hasn't. The doctor
says corns are produced by tight boots
and shoes, which is probably the rea-
son why when a man is tight they say
he is corned. If farmer manages
well, he can get good deal of corn on
an acre, but I know of farmer that
has one corn that makes the biggest
acher on his farm. The bigger crop
of vegetable corn man raises, the
bottar he likes IT, but the bigger crop
of animal corn he raises, the better he
does not like it.
Another kind of corn is the corn
dodger. The way it is made is very
simple, and it is as follows-that is, ii
YOU want to know: You so along the
street and meet man you know has
a corn, and rough character; then
you step on the toe that has corn on
it, and see if you don't have occasion
to dodge. In that way you will lind
out what corn-dodger is.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF.-Colonel w. ID
Halbert is VIGOROUSLY poor pay. A
few days ago he entered drugstore
on Austin avenue, and asked for
bottle of DR.. McFroud's Kidney En-
courager. The clerk, who had been
informed that all the bad debts con
tracted would be deducted from his
mothers stipend, produced the bottle
"Do you think" said Colonel Hal,
bert, reaching out for the bottle, "tha'
one bottle will relieve me of my dis
couraged kidneys?"
eyes" responded the clerk, still
holding on to the bottle; 81 know II
will relieve you right off. 1t will re-
lieve you of 81 in cash before you gel
out of the store with it."
The colonel groaned, and remarkine
that the remedy was worse than the
disease, took his discouraged kidneys
to the next drugstore for relief.

TESTING THE OvEN.-A French au-
thority on cooking gives these rules
for testing the heat of an oven: Try
it with a piece of white paper. II
too hot, the paper will blacken or
blaze up; if it becomes light brown,
it is fit for pastry; if it turns dark
yellow, it is fit for bread and the heav.
lest kinds of cake if light yellow,
the oven is ready for sponge cake and
the ligher kinds of desserts.

Now the thing to do, if you have not
already done it, is to insure your proper
ty against loss by fire. A small policy for
a fourth of its value is better than no in
surance at all. See me and let us talk the
matter over, l will appreciate your busi-
ness and give it my best attention.
There is one thing, however, that the
public should be cautious of, and that is
the many wildcat companies that are
doing business in this territory, whose
indemnity contracts are not worth the
paper they are written on, and which will
REQUIRE only one fire loss to demonstrate
the fact. My companies are business en-
terprises of the highest class and standing
and since the indemnity they offer IS the
verv best, they do not seek to impress you
with the IDEA that they are so philan-
thropic that they will indemnify. you
against loss at Il less cost than experience
dearly bought has taught them that it is
worth. My companies are now carrying
polices on much of the most valuable
property in the county and as agent, L
would be glad to issue you policy.
