before, I had bruised up my knuckles
and they were swollen. I was in big
hurry and I moistened the finger and
twisted the ring around, but it baked
at the knuckle. Then the man behind
the desk tried to twist it off, but it was
no go. I hustled out to the corner drug
store and bought a bottle of vaSeline,
chased back to the pawnshop, stuck the
finger in the vaseline bottle, and then
tried to entice it off. But the knuckle

Then it was four minutes of four, and

We have Learned a Lesson.

The damage to the corn crop is no
doubt great calamity to the country
and one that will long be felt. Corn
easily stands at the head of our farm
products In money value, although the
area in which it can be profitably cult.
waited is not large one comparatively
IN this country, and no other produces
enough to have serious effect on the
worlds markets. The consumption of
corn has oyertaken production, and for
that reason there is little surplus to fall
back on. But by spring we will un.
doubtedly all be much surprised to see
how well we have managed to get
along. The lesson of 1894 was very
valuable one to the farmers, for 1t
taught them great deal in regard to
economical feeding as against the waste
that had before prevailed. There will
be no feed thrown away this year. The
result of this will be that Iowa will
have great amount of hay and straw
for sale that will bring high prices.
There will probably be good deal
more corn than is reported, and it will
bring price SO much better than usual
that much of the loss from shortage
Will be made up. And what is more,
the present scraping on the bottom of
the cribs will ensure good prices next
year and until a surplus is accumulated
no matter how large the crops are-Bul-

The only known copy of PENIS issue
Of magma Charta," published in 1857
by the Bradford Press, is the property

The copy is not generally open to the
public.
The peculiar significance of this book
Is that half dozen years after Penn
founded his colony he wished to have
the colonists keenly realize that they
would have to stand for their rights in
the new country as well as the old,
where they had been SO cruelty perse-
cuted. He wrote this book in order that
they might be informed on the consti-
tuition of their local government and
know what We're the legal bases Of
their rights rs citizens.
Curlously enough the only proof
there is that this work was William

Justice David Lloyd in 172S, great
Quaker Lender who was PENIS attor-
ney general at the time the book was
issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also
at that time an intimate friend of VIII
liam Penn and consequently knew
whereof he spoke.

A Pardoned Bank Robber,

Charles Mussey, of Ruthland, VT,
used his position as cashier of the Mer-
chants National:Bank to steal sl47, 900
His robbery broke the bank, inflicting
heavy loss upon his neighbors and
causing much suffering. He was "sent
up" for seven years.
In prison Mussey apparently fell i'll
His family physician abandoned his
case for unstated seasons which may be
coDjectured. An out-of- town doctor
was obtained by Mussey's friends. In
a year he was said to be at deaths door,
and upon this ground Mr.. Mckinley
pardoned him.
That was month ago. The Worlds
Ruthland dispatches relate that Mussey
has just gone into the Adirondacks on a
hunting trip, as well as any one.
The bank embe2zler is necessarily and
always inexcusable; always and neces.
sarily he has sufficient intelligence to
know what he is doing and what havoc
he may cause. Perhaps the picture of
Mr.. Mussey gayly departing upon a
pleasure trip while his victims toll to
repair the ruin he wrought may move
the president to scan more closely fu-

bers of this class of criminals to whom he

in Iowa for nearly third of q century.
for determining the condition of the
corn crop in that state. 1t is Capt.
Russell's opinion that the crop is in at
least as bad a condition as it was
August 1894, and his experiments 30 far
confirmed him in this belief. His mode
of testing was to go into the corn fields
and ascertain the number of shoots on
the stalk, and the time of planting,
With Mr.. Allen Breed, banker and
farmer, of Perry, he examined num-
Der of fields near that place, and this is
what he found;
Field No. 1-15O stalks had developed
four shoots. Crosswise in the same
field, l64 stalks produced four shoots in
all. This field was planted early on
bottom land.
Field No. 2-19l stalkf, IA shoots;
crosswise, 244 stalks, lib shoots. This
field was planted early on second
bottom land.
Field No. 900 stalks, Sc shoots;
crosswise, 24S stalks, 81 shoots. This
field was planted medium early on high
ground.
Field No. 4-2Oo stalks, so shoots;
crosswise, 204 stalks, As shoots. This
field was planted late on high ground,
The total number of stalks examined
was 1904, on which only 459 shoots
were found, or little less than one
shoot to each four stalks. "Examin.
ation," says the Register, "showed that
the shoots, or ears of corn, were not
we'll filled. Many of the cobs had no
grains, and nearly all the others had
only scattering grains. The captain
says that the corn of this region will
only make good feed, and that it will
not produce any marketable corn unless
more rain falls promptly, and is follow
ed by at least two good showers per
week for the remainder of the corn
growing season. He is anxious for

Conserve the Cow KIND.

We mean this to apply not only to
the COWS as well as young heifers but
the heifer calves which are still SO un-
cerimoniously and in large numbers be-
ing sent to the veal markets. Of course
the latter bring good prices for veal;
young COWS are easily made into good
beef, heifers fatten rapidly and make
meat second only to steers, and old
cows get into shape for the shambles
to go off as Gamers without much stay
ing. But where, oh where, are we 60
ing to get the cattle to make up the
ten million shortage In the cattle of
the United States. 1t is q shortage,
too, that is said to be increasing with
the constant increase of the population
of our nation, which, when considered
in connection with the greater and
greater foreign demand for our meats,
make the question momentous one.
Our daily ration must grow less and

must live frugal, and prices must in
crease in rapid proportion as they are
evidently doing. Each Individual case

In paper published in the south of
France is found an amusing account of
the early life and exploits of Col. Bryan.
The story, it appears, was written by
the Paris correspondent of the provin-
cial paper, and is based, SO the writer
AYERS, on information furnished by in
innate friends of the candidate who
have been prominent at the French
capital during the exposition.
The Western wag who filled the
Frenchmsn so full of new and startling
information must have smiled to him
self as he read in cold print the state
ment that an. le Col. Bryan first came
into fame as one of the strange, half
savage band of cowboys grandeur de
vahees, it appears in the original"
roamed over the far West fighting the
Indians and wild beasts" Initiating,
perhaps, the custom of the Indian chiefs,
each of the cowboys bore nickname
based on some of his exploits as hun
ter or fighter. Thus NJ. lie Col. Bryan's
title among his rough but brave and
sturdy comrades was Silver Bill, the
dead shot. After the treaty of peace
was signed with the Indians at Chicago
in 1896, Col. Bryan went out of the
cattle business and became one of the
bonanza farmers of the West. He can
now sit on his back stoop, as the rear
veranda is called in America, and look
over his fields of corn stretching farth-
er than the eye can reach in every di
rection. AS result of his early train
ing on the plains, where he spent
months at time without an opportuni-
ty of talking to another human being,
the candidate for president is extremely
taciturn and can hardly be persuaded
to express his opinion on the issue of
the campaign. He is the authur of q
book of adventure called "The First
Battle" in which some of his encount.
ers with the Indians of the Tammany
and other tribes are described at length
In the effort to partially neutralize the
strength Of M. le Colonel among the
cowboys and Indians who make up the
largest part of the voting population
west of the Allegheny mountains, the
Republicans have nominated NJ. le
Roosevelt for president. M. lie Roose-
welt is one of the leading cowboys in
America, and is especially famous for
once having yanquished grizzly bear
in single combat. During the present
campaign NJ. le Col. Roosevelt has rid
den series of horses all over the coun-
try, giving exhibitions Of rough riding
such as were seen in Paris year or
more ago under the direction of an
other American statesman. -Des

Last week the coal trust put up the
retail price of coal 10 cents ton, says
the New York correspondent Of the Re
cord Herald. This is the fifth in SER
les of six monthly advances. The sixth
advance, on Sept. 1, will probably be %
cents, bringing the price Is cents ton
higher than in April of last year, when
the trust was formed. New York City
will pay S1l,OOO,ooO more for its coal in
the next year than in the year the coal
barons got together. That means So
more for each man, woman and child in
the city. The extra profit squeezed
out of the whole country will be s34,-
100000. The burden will fall most
heavily on the very poor who live in
tenements without conveniences, for
keeping any great supply of coal on
hand. The cost of coal to these poor
people has always been frightfully
high, the average running from So to
50 q ton.
