RAINS DAMAGE CORN.
1t Will Take Weeks to Dry 1t Out So
Tint Farmers Can Go Into
Fields and Husk 1t.

''The recent cold rains have undone
all the good that was accomplished
by the warm, bright weather of a few
days ago." said DR.. Chapel, of the
weather bureau. ''It will take five
weeks to dry the corn out SO that
farmers can go into the fields and husk
it. Just now the excessive moisture
has thoroughly saturated the husks
and, cob, and with the cool wea Their the
evaporation is SO slow that there is
danger that great deal of corn that
escaped frost injury may be musted
and damaged.
cit is folly for farmers to think Of
going into their fields to husk corn
now. If it is stored away indoors in
its present condition it will sprout and
mold and be rendered worthless for
market purposes and deteriorate as
soft corn feed. Farmers will fare bet
ter if they permit the corn to 1e1rain
in the field until it has dried out.''

An English Tradition,

On, his way from Clifton Down to
Avonmouth the prince of Wales
passed in the avon gorge curious
structure, to which singular tradi-
ton is attached. The story is that
a person named Cook about a CEN
fury ago was told by gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he
reached the age of 21. To avert this,
he built a high tower, and shut his
son in the topmost room, with the
intention of secluding him there I'M
til the fatal age was past. How
ever, by accident, a viper was taken
up in faggot and bit the boy SO
that he died. Therefore, the tower
was called Cooks Folly, and that is
it's name to this day, whatever is the
true planation.-London Taller.

ITO Be Continued
THE SCOTCH REGAL1A RING.
Treasured Among the Royal
Jewels of Scotland.

The traditional history of the
Scotch regalia ring is of the most
tragic, not to say melancholy, char
acter. 1t is believed that it was the
favorite ring of Mary Stuart, and
that, after her judicial murder in
Fotheringay Castle, it was transmit
ted to her son, says Good Words.
From James it descended to Charles
L., at whose coronation at Scone in
1853 it played a distinct part. Once
more did this Inflated ring figure at
an untimely and ill-merited death;
for, with almost his last breath upon
the scaffold at Whitehall, Charles be-
queathed it to Bishop Juxon in trust
for his son. In due course of time
the ring came into the possession of
James H., and was carried away with
him on his fight to the continent.
When, however, he was detained by
the fishermen at Sheerness, the ring,
which had been secreted in the
kings underclothing, only escaped
robbery by the luckiest of mistakes
on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was
passed on uninjured to James de-
scendants, till, by the bequest Of
Cardinal York, it became the prop.
erty of the reigning dynasty once
more, and was by them replaced
among the royal jewels of Scotland,
from which it had been separated for
many long year.

REASON AND THE LAW.

Cy Perkins was cranky man, Joe Bunker
was the same;
TO make each other trouble was each 9TH
er's only aim,
And, as they had adjoining farms, it hap
peneG very soon;
10 put the matter plainly, there was blood
upon the moon"
A cut there was through Bunker's wood
that made q shorter way,
And Cyrus chose that road to town, despite
all Joe could say.
Though Bunker daily stormed and raved
as no good Christian should,
Yet Perkins calmly held his way through
that convenient wood.
esYour wood!' he cried, derisively; there's
nothing here to show
That all men with impunity may not thus
ever go.
There is no fence, there is no sign; there's
naught that espy
That does passage through this wood to
any man deny"
So, breathing threats of what he'd do, Joe
Bunker bought sign
OF 'Trespassing Forbidden Here!' that
measured six by nine.
In joyful triumph and cart he brought it
out from town,
But never noticed at the time he had nailed
1t upside down.
>eThe law" he said to Perkins then, Twill
now take care of me;
The law demands that you shall heed the
sign that there you see.
There's no excuse that will be good If you
keep passing through,
And l serve notice on you now that will
surely sue.'
>'The law" said Perkins, thoughtfully. "is
strange in many ways,
And will heed all barriers that 1t may
fairly raise.
your sign, no doubt, is excellent, and If
only knew
zust what 1T says I'm satisfied I'd bow to
it and YOU"
<"Turn back!" cried Bunker, angrily, "for
there you see the sign!''
But Perkins, starting up his horse, replied !:

turn and slay in the battle of self
preservation.
He bad thought that the crisis was
past nhen he had pawned the last
of his keepsakes earlier in the day
for the money to buy the revolver.
But he had yet to learn that there
is no crisis in the human span save
that which ends it; and all the in
termediate duels with fate are mere
sub-climaxes once they have been
fought-conflicts critical enough at
the moment, but likely to be re-
newed indefinitely if one lives be-
You'd them. And it was another of
those sub-climaxes that came in the
hour of aimless wandering on the
levee. More than once he was tempt
ed to buy back his lost identity at
any price; at every price, if need be.
Not in any other moment of we'll
filled life had he been made to re-
alize what precious possession is
the fearlessness of innocency:
weighed against it, the thick packet
of bank notes in the red bandanna,
anu an tildJ IL might SIanH Tor, was
as air-blown bubbles to gold. And
yet he would not go back; he could
not go back, since to restore the
money would be more than a confess
sion of guilt; it would be an abject
recantation, a fiat denial of every
article of his social creed, and re-
turn to primordial chaos in the mat
ter of theories out of which he could
emerge only as u criminal in fact.
When the differentiation became
blankly insupportable, he put it
aside with the resolution which was
the strong thread in the loose
twisted warp of his character, and
addressed himself afresh to the nm
solved problem of fight. The pos
session of the red bandanna and its
holdings made all things possible-in

A LUCKY WOMAN.
Wife of n Waiter in n Restaurant In

tune of $4,000.

Mrs. Mamie Byrnes, a pretty Jew
ess, living in Des Moines, whose hus-
band is a waiter in restaurant, has
been notified that she is sole heiress
to an estate in France valued at near
ly $4,000. Mrs. Byrnes will receive
from $1,000 to $4,000 in cash in a few
days, the remainder of the estate
consisting of houses and lots in one
of the principal cities of the French
republic. The property was left her
by wealthy maiden aunt, Henriet-
ia Hartkemeyer, who died year ago.
Miss Hartlemeyer had no relatives
except a sister, Charlotte Louisa
Hartkemeyer, mother of Mrs. Byrnes,
with whom she quarreled many years
ago, and never made up. Charlotte
Hartkemeyer came to America anu
was married to Borich We'll, settling
down in Vinton. Upon Henrietta

try she became cnamored of Mr.. and

in the act when carriage drovs
rapidly down to the stage and two
tardy passengers hurried aboard
The mate bawled from his station
on the hurricane deck:
"Now, then! Take a turn on that
spring line out there and get them
trunks aboard! Lively!"
The larger of the two trunks fell
to the late recruit; and when he had
set it down at the door of the desig-
mated stateroom he so far forgot
himself as to read the card tackled
upon it: Charlotte Farnham, Wa
haska, Minnesota"
"Thank you," said musical voice
at his elbow. MAY trouble you to
put it inside?"
Griswold turned as one smitten,
and was not without embarrassment
at having been caught reading the
tag. But when he saw the. owner of
the voice, CONSERVATION slew shame
and he was prompted to make wild
dash for liberty. For Miss Farnham
was no other than the young wom-
an to whom he had given place at
the teller's window in the Bayou
bank.
She saw his confusion, OWNED the
first cause of it and smiled. Then
he met her gaze fairly and became
sane again when he made sure that
she did not recognize him-became
sane, and snatched off his cap and
dragged the trunk into the state
room; after which he went to his
place with great thankfulness
throbbing in his heart and an in
choate resolve shaping itself in his
| brain.
Late that night, when the Belle
Julie was we'll on her way to the
northward, he flung himself down
upon the freight on the engine-room
guard to snatch little rest between
landings, and the resolve became
sufficiently cosmic to formulate itself
in words.
"I'l call it an oracle, The said.
| Zone place is as good as another, so
it be small enough; and I am sure
I have never heard of Wahaska."
Now Griswold the proletary was,
before all things else, Griswold the
imaginative craftsman; and no soon
er was the question of his destina-
ton settled than he began to pre-
figure the place and it's probable
lacks and havings. This process
brought him by easy gradations to
pleasant idealizings of Miss Earn
ham, who was, thus far, the only
thing tangible connected with the
destination dream. Whereupon her
personality laid hold upon him and
the idealizings became purely lit
erary.

CHAPTER "

For an hour after his ventursome
return to the bank Griswold tramped
up and down the levee, and the end
of it found him still undecided as
to the manner and direction of his
fight.
The hour had not been altogether
triumphant. The partition which is
the dividing line between a life of
semi-vagrancy and life of crime is
tenuous enough; and any hot-heart-
ed one may break through it at will.
But to be vagrant indeed, one must
first be vagrant at heart; and Girls
void was far enough from this, now
or at any time; SO far from it that
the cl; ms of his transformed identi-
ty were already beginning to gall
him. 1t was to little purpose that
he girded at his computations, tell
ing himself that one needs must
when the devil drives. Custom,
habit, or whatsoever it may be which
distinguishes the law-abiding from
the lawless, would have it's say; and
from railing bitterly at the social
conditions which made his act at
once necessity and crime, he
came presently to loathing the SUBJ
terfuges to which the crime had
driven him.
Moreover, mingled with the loath-
ing was growing fear that he
might not always be able to play
consistently the double role whose
lines were already becoming intri-
cate and confusing. To be true to
his mission, he must continue to be,
in utter sincerity, Griswold the
brother-loving. To escape the con
sequences of his act, he must hold
himself in instant readiness to be in
ruthless earnest what common
thief would be in similar straits

meanings, alert at any moment to

VIII BE a Profit.

Secretary A. II. Dawson, of the ex-
ecutive council. has computed the cost
to the state of the new cod7 supple
ment. Contrary to expectation, the
statewill makea good profit on the vol
ume. The supplement sells for two
dollars per copy, and the actual cost,
including the cost of boxing up the
book for shipment, is $1,47. Leaving
out the cost of boxing, the cost is $1.44
per volume. The cost of the new edi-
ton of the code per volume is not yet
ascertained, but it is thought it will
not exceed that of the code supple
ment. The code will continue to sell
at five dollars per volume.

The idea was SO temptingly ad-
venturous that he gave place to it
on the spur of the moment. Taking
fve-dollar bill from his store, he
fouled it in the mud of the gutter
and then went in to ask the paying
teller to give him silver for it. The
teller shifted at the money, scowled
at the man and then turned back
to his cashbook. Griswold's smile
broke into laugh when he reached
the street.

claws, but it can neither see nor

mitted to the amputation of his right
leg above the knee at the emergency
hospital in Waterloo. In April he was
performing feats for the amusement
of some companions, and fell % feet,
breaking the bones of the leg near the
knee joint. An operation was per-
formed weeks later, when it was
found the bones were not uniting.
Some of the muscle had become
wedged between the broken parts of
the bone. This was removed and the
bones wired together, but the bone
would not unite and amputation be-
came necessary.

The loss of a leg or an arm is also
said to do you good In the long run Il
certainly seems that when a man is
deprived OF a leg r an arm the vital

main with him 70 increase the vitality
Of the remainder.
Numbers OF elderly persons in more
or less feeble health are kept alive by
coughs, such, for instance, as bron-
chitis Chronic coughs are peculiarly
common to old people. and hundreds
who complain OF the distress caused
them by such affections are really in
debted to their coughs for their length
Of life. The reason Of this Is that
most elderly persons suffer with weak
hearts and feeble circulation Of the
blood. and weak hearts become weaker
and weaker merely as a result OF their
weakness. A constant cough corrects
this, keeps the heart beating more
strongly than It otherwise would, and
the strong heart beat keeps the blood
circulating more quickly, and the vital
organs are thus kept ia a state Of
activity which could only be main
tanned by artificial means and for a
limited time but for the troublesome
cough.
