CHAMPION CORN STORY.
Passenger Agent Duncan
Entitled to the Medal

Here is the latest story of the big corn
crop. as told by z. NJ. Duncan, travelling
passenger agent for the Rock Island, who
has just returned from the central Kan
sas corn country. where he alleges this
incident happened:
One day farmer sent his son out into
the cornfeld to see how the ears were
filling, with Instructions to climb the
stalks and make a thorough examina-
return. All night he was gone, but the
farmer thought he would turn up in the
morning. The next forenoon passed and
still the boy had not returned The neigh
bors were called in and a thorough search
made through the cornheld, but
without results. Meanwhile the corn had
grown that the tops could not be seen
from the ground. The farmer RENE ber-
ed that instances had been known where
people had climbed cornstalks and the
corn had grown faster than they could
climb down. and ne was afraid such a
calamity had happened to his son.
At the end of the third day the farmer,
sick at heart. was seized with a serious
illness. In his delirium he Geonstantly
asked of imaginary people, Have you
day he died. and as his spirit neared the
gates of the city immortal he noticed
that it was surrounded with blades Of
corn. The first question ne asked when
St. Peter opened the gate was the one
which had been constantly in his mind
Have you seen -anyt ming OF nay ooyE-
Yes" answered st Peter. Il Signaled
him as he passed here day before yester-
day clinging to a stalk of corn"

FLAGS THE FAST MAIL.
A Kenosha Mother Is Determined to
Save Her Dying Child.


Chicago, Aug. AT the risk Of her
life Mrs. Nathan Allen of Kenosha
tagged the fast mail train at Evanston
Saturday afternoon in order to be en-
abled to reach the bedside Of her dying
daughter. She stood in the middle of
the track as the train approached way
ing red lined golf cap above her head.
Engineer Menard saw her and stopped
his train just in time. My child is
dying in Kenosha,' gasped the woman.
~I must get in this train The con-
ductor of the train assented She was
carried into a rear car and reached
home in time.
Before resorting to this desperate
means Of getting on board Mrs. Allen
and her husband had tried their best
to induce the n northwestern ofhclalS TO
stop the train for them. Shortly after
3 o'clock Saturday afternoon Station
Agent Lang noticed man and a Wo-
man pacing nerVOuSly up and down the
long platform.
Finally the man approached Lang
and inquired the time of arrival of the
fast mail train from Chicago. Upon
being informed that the train never
stopped under any circumstances at
Evanston the look of agony on the
mans face increased and his companion
wrung her hands in anguish. The sta
ton agent was beseeched to flag the
train, in humanity's name, in order
that the man and woman could reach
the bedside of their child. Upon being
informed that it was out of the ques-
ton to flag the train the father urged
Lang to telegraph to Division Superin-
tendent Lawson in Chicago for permis-
sion to stop the heavy mail train.
The answer was: Much as we would
like to accommodate from a humani-
tartan standpoint, it will mean the loss
of thousands of dollars to the road, and
it is absolutely impossible to think of
tagging the 3 o'clock mail at Evans
tom
The next train by which the Aliens
could hope to reach KenOsha, passed
thorugh four hours later. Their child
would probably have passed away at
that time without the soIacing cares
of either parent during its last hours
Allen stood silently leaning against
the station and failed to notice the
movements of his wife but was brought
from his dazed condition a few mo-
ments later by a rumble and roar and
the deafening scheech of a whistle,
mingled with the hurried clang of an
engine bell. Looking toward the north
end of the platform he was Mortified
to see his wife standing in the path of
the onrushing engine.
1t seemed almost miraculous that his
wife escaped with her life. The fast
mail after the delay was rushed north
ward at its very best speed in the hope
that the lost time could be made up be-
fore reaching Milwaukee.
