ROASTING EAR IN ENGLAND.

The following is from a London pa
per:
Perhaps the esculent that has advanc-
ed most this season is the green Indian
corn. Only a year or two ago the cobs
sold in London to meet the wants or
Canadian or American visitors came
from across the Atlantic, and were pre-
served by N cans of cold storage But
astute market gardeners here have dis
covered that in an ordinary summer
the heads will develop quite sufficiently
for eating in the green stage, and IN
delicacy of flavor will fully rival those
grown in the Dominion or the United
States. Whole fields are now devoted
in Essex to growing maize to be cut
early. and at the large hotels of the
West-end especially it is finding a
growing demand. The corn itself, with
it's tail stem, long. fiag-lile foliage, and
silvery fringe, is often grown in coun-
try gardens for it's decorative beauty.
though the cobs have been neglected IN
their edible profitable possibilities
Nor do our cookery books as yet IN
clude recipes for it, but nothing can pc
more simple than it's preparation, for
it needs only to be boiled in slightly
sailed water till tender, and served
with plain melted or oiled butter. Like
the artichoke or the asparagus, 1t de-
mands the uncompromising acceptance
/ of the dictum that fingers were made
before forks and it must be boldly
held, while it is being consumed, by two
| rows at a time, the hard interior core
| offering no attraction
This is important because of the val
liable discovery which it makes public
viz: that the hard interior core of a
roasting ear has no attraction for the
! English epicure.
| 1t is a source of qualification that the
English people have at last come to
appreciate the succulent roasting ear 1t
has been a matter of general knowledge
that the English nation has often had

of Win White whom he claims to have
started on the right road by giving him
his first newspaper training:

was going about the streets of FL Dora
do, barefooted. and bare legged, closely
followed by his dog Tad and who ar
forwards entered a printing office as

his face and hands, who ate more glue

oil' and meat augers' than any devil

dent Roosevelt in the White House
twice last week; and was counted the
honored guest, on both occasions. Bill
Allen owns a fine newspaper plant In
Emporia, owns the large brick building
in which the paper is printed, owns one
of the handsomest homes in the town
and is making money and saving 1t
every month in the year. He gets from
$500 to 81, 900 for every story he writes

the gas battle through to finish, and
would save only the minor portion OF the
cost of a legal battle by compromising
at this time.
On the other hand, it can not be denied
that the council passed the dollar gas
ordinance without careful investigation
No information was at hand to sustain
the position which the council took, ex-
cept evidence collected by private par
ties instead of by the city. In this con-
nection it is wei to remember that the
burden of proof in this law suit is on the
city 1t is obliged to prove that the rate
of 81 per thousand will yield fair re-
turn on the gas company's investment,
not that the present rate Of 81 As or $3.50
per thousand is too high.
Heroes of compromise are not less
heroic than the heroes of conflict A fair
compromise is generally to be preferred
to a fair fight If the city council and
the gas company can reach an agree
ment which is fair both to the city and
to the gas company, the people of the
city would no doubt sanction it, even
though the rate may not reach the dollar
mark which has so long been the Mecca
for rate adjusters. This should by no
means extend for a longer period than
the present franchise when satlsfac-
tory rate can be Incorporated in the new
franchise.

COMPROMISE OR F1eHrp

Rv utteranees of persons in a position
to understand which way the wind is
blowing, it has become known that
there is a mutual desire on the part of
the gas company and the city officials
to compromise the fight which was pre-
cipitated when the council passed the
dollar gas ordinance
The gas company asserts that its pres
ent rate is $1-45 per thousand feet The
city's new ordinance calls for a fiat rate
of S1.O0. If a compromise is made, it
should not be for higher rate than 81
for light and 81 for fuel and power
per thousand feet That rate is general
~ believed by city officials to be the
best terms the city can make.
The question is whether the city should
be willing at this time to consider a
compromise. Some say that the city is
in a good position to win the fight, when
the last cards are played 1t is certain
that a great deal of evidence can be
produced by the city to show that gas
is being sold in other towns similarly
situated to Topeka for 81 per thousand,
and that the gas company here ought
10 be able to make the same rate. The
city has engaged its attorney to fight

gave evidence of his own growing

his demeanor- He was heartily glad to
meet his fellow-citizens. The natural

and his domestic tenderness endeared
hin, to - home-loving people. Public
men, toe, found him generous minded
and devoted to the country's welfare.
The matter of his death and his de-

own suggestion he was holding public
reception and he was shaking hands
with all who came, when the assassin
shot him. His instant thought was of
his wife Then he asked that no harm
be done to the assassin; and he express
ed regret that his presence had caused

was the conduct of a gentleman, as Sir

MR.. PECK ON ANARCHY.

TFrom Chicago Record Herald
All those passionate outbursts which
proposed anarchical or despotic meth
DDS for the suppression of anarchy at
the time of President McKinley's assas-
sination are rapidly escaping the mem
DRY and they will leave no impress upon
the laws and institutions of this coun-
try The people believe with George X
Peck that I'VE need now, above all otn-
err things, to stand fast for the immu-
table principles of republican govern
ment.'' They believe that those princi-
pies cannot be made to follow the cur
rents of impulse or passion.
Like Mr. Peck also, they doubt the
efficacy of force after the experience
of Russia Germany and Italy; they
hold that the true and permanent cure
for the disease of anarchy is not in
repressive laws, but in education, IN
enlightenment and in the cultivation OF
patriotic instincts The words wnlch
were spoken by the eloquent attorney
at the Mckinley memorial m Getting IN
the United States court of appeals are
assured a quick and sympathetic re-
Spouse from the public.
Courage and confidence, not terror
and doubt have been the most truly
remarka BILE and persistent things in the
backs ground of our national sorrow
The confidence was perfect and 1t was
ilIustr in the facts of our daily life
ate defamation was loudest. Except
for the day of public mourning the peo-
pie Went about their business as usual
and there was not the slightest sign OF
actual apprehension anywhere. 1t was
assumed as matter of course that the
vice president would succeed to the
presidency without any disturbance,
that there was no possible chance OF
national insecurity. that the ordinary
affairs of life would go on without in
terruption. 1t was felt that the foun-
da atoms of the republic were as firm as
the foundations of the everlasting hills
What stung the people was the out
rage upon humanity, the cruel personal
aspects of the assassination, the wanton
nature of the assault upon their own
sovereignty, which ihcensed though II
| did not terrify them They never really
| thought that they had anything to
learn from Russia on the making AMI
| the administra ton of laws, and that
| civil liberty and self-government had
| suddenly become a failure. They never
| thought of furnishing anarchy with an
| archy, and they knew that a great
dem ocratic republic like this with its
/ equal love for liberty and order does
| more to eliminate the causes of anarchy

There is one admirable thing about
a dog: he always acts natural
Is there any girl in Atchison with a
neck pretty enough to wear a loW-cut

Never take any mans word for any
thing that refers in any way to any
thing about any election.
A woman thinks she is becoming
used to business when she has learned

1t is said of an Atchison man that
he is so crooked that he often gets to

Some people have an idea that it Is
economy to Duy nothing on the last
day of the month, and then buy
double quantity the next day.
Every woman believes the first year
of her married life that her husband
would not fiirt; after that she feels
that she has to trust to the honor OF
other women

who invited him receives a note of re
