Sells started west. He had not heard
the rumors that were circulating.
"You may have that horse of mine
If you can find him, Elsie," he said at
parting, and both laughed at the idea.
But a few days later when the tongue
of scandal grew bolder the girl heard
the story. She sprang to his defense.
From defending him she became am
bitious to acquit him. Then. as a fur
ther reward, there was the horse that
would be hers. Saying nothing t o any
one outside of her own family, she
started out on the trail of the desper-
ado who already had been captured and
returned to the penitentiary.
But the trail was blind. She could
not find it. Tongues still wagged at
billiards as only village tongues can
clatter spite, and as a last resort she
determined to go to Columbus and try
to prevail on the Kuhns to talk/Peace
officers had tried and failed. He had
remained sullen and silent, however,
saying nothing that would give light
on his escape.
Miss Romick went TO Warden Darby
and got permission to see Kuhns. But
he told her that the visit would not
avail. She talked with the man few
moments, telling him why she had
come. Finally he relented and told
all.
He had walked to billiards, and
there, being footsore, had determined
to steal a horse and buggy. He had
hung about the Sells home till night
fall and had seen Miss Romick there.
He got into the barn soon after dark,
but decided at last TO ride the horse.
Seven miles away he tired Of the sad
die, found some vehicles at a school
house entertainment, took a buggy
and drove the Sells horse to IL as long
as the animal could make time. lie
unhitched it finally, got astride Of It
again. and rode till it was complete
ly tagged. Then, leaving it on the
road. he went on afoot into Indiana.
Miss Romick went at once to Union
City, Ind, near which the horse had
been left. She found a farmer who
had taken it in. and after paying
pretty steep bill for the animals feed
she arrived at billiards with IT last
week.
1t is true that as a romance this
story is incomplete as yet. But it is a
true story. Also, even the expected
may happen if time enough be al
lowed.

capital in every direction and the po-
lice of Columbus made every effort to
find if he were hidden in the city.
AT this time Miss Elsie Romick, of
billiards, was visiting at the home of
the Sells family in that village. Wal
ter Sells, the son, at that time owned
the plucky little horse that is now in
Miss Romick's barn. On the night Of
the escape of the desperate Kuhns
this horse disappeared from the Sells
farm.
The next morning Sells complained
that his horse had been stolen. The
town marshal even made some efforts
to find trace of the animal. Then the
Columbus police found that Kuhns in
all probability had passed through Hill
liards in his flight.
Sells had not seemed 10 take the

when it was learned that Kuhns might

hold of the incident. Before it was

later the story that had been gossip

boldly.

FARMVLLE FAIR FOR NAV CENTURY OCToBER e. e. 25 1904

The corn-growing farmers Of the
west are told by Chicago board Of
A Word to corn trad de operator
how to keep the
price of their prod
uct from falling below 40 cents bush
el The plan is simple. Whether it is
feasible is another question, says the
Tribune of that city. 1t is based ON
the assumption that the Chicago board
of trade fixes the worlds price for
corn There are many farmers who
have believed this and because of their
belief have denounced that board as
an odious device to keep down the
prices of their products and thus de-
fraud them of portion of the fruits
of their toll There are other people
who do not have such faith In the pow
ers of the board. They are of the opin-
ion that the amount of corn on hand
and the demand for that grain by dis
tillers. glucose manufacturers and 9TH
er consumers have most 10 do with de-
termining its price. This friend OF
the farmers urges them TO become
bulls on the board. He would have
them buy corn futures TO the amount
of about 100000 bushels and carry
this load from month 10 month. He |
assures the farmers that il will not /
cost them a cent, and that the bears, |
who will not dare TO sell more than |
2O,OOO,0OO bushels at the outside. will /
be only too happy to pay 40 cents
bushel to get their contracts back.
Thus the price of corn never will fall
below 40 cents, no matter how excess
sive may be the supply or how restrict
ed the demand. All one has TO do to be
happy is TO plant corn and buy futures.
An alluring prospect is held out TO the
corn grower, who is assured that he
can speculate with perfect safety. He
will protect his peace of mind by keep
ing out of "sure things" on a board of
trade or a race track. The man who
is raising corn seems at this time 10
be pretty well off without any artificial
aid. The demand for his product APP
pears to be gaining on the supply. The
department Of agriculture thinks this
will continue to be the case and that
the men who grow corn are TO be the
agricultural miIlionaires of the future.
That being the situation it is unneces-
sary for them to go on the board Of
trade and buy futures. The future is
already assured to them if they win
turn a deaf ear TO the advice of spec
llators and simply cultivate corn.

"'"'or' because fate is
against them, because they cannot
succeed as other people do. The real
cause OF their failure is lack of
heart. They do not throw their whole
souls into their work. They only
touch their employment with the tips
of their fingers. They do not fling
their whole life into their yocations.
They are half-hearted, and lack en-
ergy, push, perseverance; they have
no ambition-fres to melt the OBJ
stacles in their pathways, 20 weld to-
gether. into one continuous chain,
the links of their efforts, says a
writer in Success. Futile endeayor,
half-hearted effort, never accom-
plished anything. 1t takes the fire
of determination, energy, push, and
good judgment to accomplish that
which counts, or life will be failure.
1t is the enthusiastic man. with fire
in his blood and ginger in his brain,
who makes things move. and pushes
TO the front. We see the half-hearted
floating aimIessly with every current.
They have lost their grip, and are
pushed aside by the more vigorous
and determined; they lost heart and
cease struggling, and then they be-
come drifters, and are tossed about
on the sea of life.

highly of young Chicago girl, Miss
Josephine MCCLELLAN who, under the

made her professional debut at the
Boston Theatre, playing Mile. Dam

had been studying under the tutor

with big blue eyes and raven black
hair. Miss MCCLELLAN will be seen in
