A farmer reports that his corn crop
is about as big as he can make it with
out more cObS, as all the cobs on the
place are full. The only relief that
we can suggest is that he get string
and tie up the point of the husk and
just let the shelled corn grow in the
sacks thus formed. This condition Of
affairs is singing rebuke against
the extravaganza practice of burning
cobs. Here we are with every cob in

The editor of the Gaylord Herald,
who is homesteader himself, has
under consideration a proposition to
organize homesteader secret society,
with passwords, grips, signs, etc.
Here is sample page of the ritual:
Question-What did you come to
Kansas for?
Answer-To get farm for nothing.
Q-Was you any good where you
lived before coming?
A-No.
Odd you get the farm?
Ayes.
Q-What did you do next?
A-Lived on it till could prove up
and then mortgaged it.
Q-What did you do them
A-Bought a new wagon, a harvest
er, built house. bought fence posts
and barbed wire and calves at the rate
of SIS head.
Q-How did you come out?
Al went broke.
Q-What had become of the money
YOU borrowed?
Awe told you that once before
Q-What did you do then?
Al went Pop and howled about
the injustice and inequality of things.
Q-Dio that do you any good?
A-No.
Q-What did you do then?
A-Went to work and paid my debts
and feel all right.
Q-How long have you been a fool?
About ten years.
Q-That's a good while, isn't it?
A-You bet.
Q-Are you willing to admit that
you have been fool?
A-Well, hardly, in public.
The guide will now conduct you to
the high muck-a-muck for final exam

plenty to eat and wear, money in
their pockets and snug bank account
have the gall to howl hard times.
Times will always be ''hard" with
some people. They would not have it
otherwise if they could. 1t is second
nature with them. Brace up and be
men and when you see prosperity
staring you in the face don't turn
your head and howl "hard times"
That is one reason people are not as
happy as they ought to be, could they
only be contented with their lot. Try
and look on the bright side of life.
We can't remain in this world only a
few more years, at least, SO why not
be more contented. at least when
''times" are as good as they are today.
This is the area of prosperity Plenty
of good crops of every description,
plenty of work and plenty of money
What more do you howlers of hard
times want?

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. i gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a
physician and it was under his care
for week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tions of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would
not live. Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-

commended, and l decided to try it. /

On Aug. 10, 1879, occurred the seIsa-

to the political prestige Of the New

home to Canonchet unexpectedly from

Intensity of Sunlight.

In order to measure distances, sur
faces, volumes, time and force, stand
ard units were long ago found indis-
pensable, and this Is, of course, abso-
lutely SO in determining or measuring
the quantity of Light in any luminous
body. This unit is the intensity of the
light of the standard candle, which is a
sperm candle weighing one-sixth of a
pound and burning 120 grains an hour.
By this means 1t is found by astron-
omers that the intensity of the sunlight
is such that when the sun is In the zen-
:th it illuminates white surface about
10000 times as strongly as standard

of the full moon. the surprising result

GOO. 600 times that of the latter. Again,
the interesting fact is now established

by man, the most tetense 10 the bril-

the return of Mr.. Spraguc with shot

The flight of the wife from Canon

divorce suits, brought by the wife
against the husband and by the bus
band against the wife. Finally an
amicable arrangement was reacRed,

waa granted. Mr.. Sprague retained
the son, William Sprague Jr.. and Mrs.

afterward married the daughter of a

While the Governor spent his time In
litigation, trying to save something oat
of the wreck, Kate Chase retired to
Edgewood, the small property left by
her father in the suburbs of Washing

ROWS IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Revolutions There Are q Regular Mid
summer Institution.
'These reported revolutions In South
America need excite no alarm" says
a trader who knows the i've republics
like book. 'sThey are the regular
midsummer revolts. and are one Of
the most cherished institutions of the
country. Without them the populace
would expire of ennui. You see. the
average native, except in the few large
towns, has absolutely no diversions
Nature relieves him of the necessity
to toll. and all he has to do Is to lie
still and breathe. When he desires TO
smoke his wife rolls cigarettes, lights
them and places them tenderly be-
tween his lips. OF course, that is an
ideal existence, but 1t lacks variety,
and at least once year even a Cen
tral American will feel a craving for
excitement. That is where the regu-
lar annual revolution comes in. In
certain sense 1t takes the place of bull
fighting or lynchings, and. compared
with either of these sports, the casual
ties are trif1ing.
at is mistake, too, to suppose that
the established governments regard
revolutions with disfavor. Not at all.
On the contrary 1t would be very hard
to get along without them, for each
revolt is Invariably followed by num-
ber of confiscations, and the national
treasury is thus replenished. More
over, an opportunity is afforded for a
big. military carnival, fanfare Of
trumpets, waving of banners. and q
y. rotechnical display of proclama-
tions 1t is the great event of the year
and after it Is all over the patriots dis
perse to their palm-leaf domiciles and
rest up for the next demonstration.
Understand, please, that I am speak
ing of the periodical, perennial revo-
lutions. not the irregular outbreaks of
filibusterers and conspirators. The
fixed summer revolution Ia, as I. said
before, an old established national in
sritution, like fiesta, and any attempt
to do away with 1t would certainly
lead to trouble possibly to bloodshed."
