OUR CORN AT PARIS.
Hoe Cake, Corn Cake, Corn Dodgers
and johnny Cake for
the Asking.

A man from Kansas, whose clrcum-
stances tend to make him optimistic
and enthusiastic about himself, his
state and the world in general at pres
ent, was in New York last week. Corn
Paris exposition.
"We are going to show the world
what corn is and what it can do" he
declared. Those Europeans don't
know what a grand thing it is. Why,
when they see our exhibit at Paris it'll
not only boom corn, but it'll boom the
whole United States for producin' it,
Commissioner Peck is with US, and we'll
see that the display of corn in that
wicked French city'll be an eye-opener.
Congress has only appropriated $751;
900 for the display of all American agri-
cultural products, but it'll have to do
better'n that at the next session. Still,
we're not depending on congress alone.
The legislatures of Kansas, Nebraska,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri
are all going to make appropriations.
If they appropriate, as they could well
afford to, one-fourth of one per cent.
of the value of their annual crop it
would amount to more than half mill
lion dollars. r-s-. .uaasa.s.., O.. .,--.
'We're goin' to have palace at Paris
in which there will be everything use
full that can be made from corn-corn
meal, hominy, starch, corn flour, sugar,
candies, strip, oil, soap, substitute for
rubber and cellulose from the corn pith.
"Therell be an Indian corn kitchen
and restaurant, where you can get hoe
cake, corn cakes, corn dodgers, johnny
cake, corn pudding, popcorn, mush,
succotash and fritters. Won't the
Americans appreciate that, though,
and won't it make the Europeans hun
cry for more! ......s ,... 40
Were not goin' to be stingy, either.
Samples of cornmeal, flour and hominy
will be given away, with directions
printed in foreign languages telling
how to cook the good things you can
make from corn. .......S
mo, guess we won't show 'em how
to use if for fuel. Well take along
plenty, but not enough to burn. But Its
no joke, corn does make a mighty nice
fire. [ was in South Dakota just be-
fore I came east and the farmers were
using it in their heating and cooking
stoves. It's too cheap to sell and coal
is too dear to buy. There's very little
ashes or dirt about using corn, and it
makes a powerful hot fire. That's the
only trouble, it's SO hot that it burns
the stoves out in little while, but it's
a great fuel, great product altogether,
and I'm glad I live where it grows.'''-

A Sabbath Breaker.

We find in areportEon8 Sabbath OBJ
servance, just presented to the free
presbytery of Lorne BY Rev. Mr.. Mac
leod, of Oban, this statement: ''The
queen and royal family, it is deeply to
be deplored, have not shown a happy
example to the people in the matter of
Sabbath observance. Her majesty's re-
cent journey to France and arrival
there on a Sabbath day must have been

where they had been planted and were
growing apace; and that as q conse-
quence she was by no means a widow.
4 AT first both the rajah and Chumla's
parents affected to laugh at the report,
until a particular cutting left one night
at the formers door put "a different
complexion upon the matter and
brought CONSERVATION into the Somani
household. s&
It appeared that among the flowers
culled for the bouquet out of the ra jah's
garden was the blossom of plant not
found in that neighborhood, but from
which it would seem the cutting had
been taken, until, on the plant being
closely examined, it was found that it
bore no signs of recent bereavement.
Then the rajah, believing that there
might be some truth in the report, de-
termined, if possible, to set the matter
at rest by a search of the jungle in the
vicinity of the Soman bungalow, at the
same time privately making up his
mind that whether the plant were found
alive or not he would refer the whole
matter to Brahmin of great astrolog-
ical reputation, in order to decide if it
savored of enchantment, because in
that event nothing in all Hindustan
would induce him to marry Chumla.
You see, the rajah, like many people
elsewhere, was inclined to be supersti-
tious. '''"
So, accompanied by his servants, the
rajah set out to search for the flower,
but the party had not proceeded far
when a cat in hot pursuit of bird
sprang directly across their path.
The rajah paused for a moment, as
that was an unlucky sigma cat cross
ing the path in connection with matri-
mony; but at length, proceeding, they
had not gone far when cobra glided
out from the bush and disappeared on
the opposite side in the rank vegeta-
ton.
At this second ill omen the rajah halt
ed abruptly and was debating the ad-
visibility of a hasty retreat, when the
appearance Of fox a short distance
ahead settled all doubts, and sent the
party home in great expedition. ~
' With three such i'll omens, cat, a
snake and fox, taken in conjunction
with the mystery concerning the flow
ers, the rajah could not be expected to
carry out his part in the marriage with
Chumla, perhaps no very great hard
ship when it is considered that he had
already six other wives. So it was
promptly broken off, with the conse'

TEXARKANA WANTS IT.

The Pee Gee officials of Kansas City, while making a list of what they neeoed along the line, discovered that they needed railroad hospital While looking toward the south the first place that met their gaze was Mena and Mena Is making an effort to get the hospital Mena generally gets what she goes after, too. Now, won der if Texarkana would like the hos pital? Tho company IS placing the general offices here 50 why don't the people make an effort 10 obtain the hospital. Get to work, gentlemen. -- Texarkana Courier.
 Yes; Mena though not three years of age has the reputation of getting what she goes for. In the case of the railway hospital Mena Is the natural place for it's loca- ton, and, as the Courier says, the officials while looking to the south ''the first place that met their gaze was Mena.
 Situated on the mountain table lands where elegant sites for such an institution can De found, 1500 feet above sea level; where good, pure, soft water flows from hun drcds of springs, and surrounded by endless forests of timber, the health giving pine predominating, 1t is but natural that Mona should be the first place their eyes saw. And looking to the south at the low attitudes, swamps and ma laria, it IS equally natural and logical that Mcna should be the best, as well as the first place to meet their gaze.
 A naturally healthful place, ln- yigorating air, good pare water, and cheerful surroundings arc the points to be sought after by wisc men in locating hospital for a great railway system. Mena can furnish all these as no other town can. and upon the elevated plateaus north of town, sites can be secured where the most beautiful scenery, comprising many, many miles of mountain ranges and rich valleys, greet the eye with ever changing variety, nothing more charming CT cheerful being known in all the Western continent.
 Truly Mena is the place for the hospital and Texarkana need not apply. She is not in it for such a purpose.
