Big Earp Of Corn.

The Kansas City Star opened its COL
umps recently to discussion concern
ing the size Of the big ears Of corn
raised in Kansas and Missouri last
summer. There was hardly farmer
in either State that did not have o
story to tell. Ears. Of corn with HOO
and 100 grains in them seem to have
been matters Of common occurrence.
Others went as high as 1400 and 1900.
Ed Johnson of Kackley. Kan. for ex-
ample. went into one Of his fields one
day and picked at random four ears.
which averaged 1922 grains each. A
German. Of Hartford. Kan. found IN
ear which was only twelve inches long.
but had twenty-six rows Of grains.
making 14OS all told. L. P. Monnot. Of
Oklahoma. reported an ear Of corn
twelve inches In length and eleven
In circumference. But all these are
beaten by one ear which was raised
by c. H. Cleveland. of Tulsa, !. T.. in
1901. This ear had thirty rows Of
grains around 1t and fiftysix grains
lencthwise. The total number Of
grains OH the cob was 1850. This Is 4
record still to be beaten.

Main entrances are placed at appar.
entity inconvenient corners, and large

Of uniformity Is due to the fact that
many buildings In course OF construc-

impracticable to break the lease for
houses Oh adjoining property which
was meant to be incorporated into the

the work progresses in sections. When

Ethan Allen as 0 Prisoner.

In Professor Justin H. Smiths paper
IN the Century. "The Prologue Of the
American Revolution" Is this scene
between General Prescott. the British
Commander In Montreal. and Ethan
Allen, who has just been captured
before the city during Montgomery's
Canadian expedition.
1t was an extraordinary scene. On
the one hand stood British officer.

On the other hand was Allen, n son Of

Allen shook his fist at him. "ofer

Prescott then turned his rolling eye
upon the captured Canadians. and or

their leader. Stepping between his
men and the soldiers. Allen tore open
his vest and shirt. laid bare his tawny
bosom, and cried to Prescott: II am
the one to blame. not they. Thrust
your bayonet into my breast. II any
body's. They would have done nothing
but for me-" The Commandant hesl-
tated, but finally told the prisoners
with an oath that he would let them
live to grace the halter at Tyburn.
The scene was epic. and Allen won
even Carlcton's admiration: but that
did not save him from a short sojourn
in the hold of the Gaspe and long
one In Pendennis Castle.

torman, after the death OF one Of the

Of an extraordinary state Of things
which has sprung up In a few years
with regard to our streets and reads.
These have been invaded. with rapid

than to have so easily allowed. Just

the trolley and the horseless carriage
are concerned. In the city the street
trolley Is inevitable, but II has too often
taken possession without sufficient re-
compense or safeguarding. In the city
there Is no place for surface car line
except In the street. and the speed Is
partly regulated by the necessity OF
frequent stops. But in the country
and In the smaller communities there
Is no excuse for the seizure by the
trolley companies Of tie roads. which
were long ago dedicated to foot pas
sensers and private conveyances. and
where the meeting between these and
the rushing cars has always 4 posi-.
bilIty OF danger. The trolleys should
as often they do-go through the
fields and touch the villages and
smaller towns at points where the
danger from running down pedestrians
and frightening horses would be re.
duced to a minimum.-The Century

WHO KNockS7"
BY FLORENCE EARL COATES,

Who knocks at the door so late, so late
Who knocks SO late at the door!
ls it one who comes, rs . stranger comes,
Or one who has knocked before!
Is il one who stays with intent to bless,
Or one who stands 10 imp!ore:
my days have bcea as the years." she
said.
"And my heart, my heart IS sore;
Love looked in my face with a wistful
grace
One happy spring oi yore-
Looked in my face FOR 4 moments space,
And left me TO griere evernore!
Through all the days the door stood wide,
For hope had breathcd vow
That love should not be kept outside:
The years wore or. and hope hath died;
The door ut last is barred and fast
Why comes this knocking now!
"Yet wo the waiting heart" she said,
"And the heart it waitcth for.
And wo the truth and wasted youth
That nothing shall restore!
The faith that's fled, the hope that's dead,
The dreams that come no more!"
Who knocks at the gate-so late, so late!
Thon foolish heart. be still!
What is't to thee ii lore or hate
Knocks in the midnight chill?
Art thou. poor heart. compassionate!
Is love so hard to kill?
