Row Of Corn Is Miles Long.

Kansas is simply inexhaustible in
the matter of oddities. Just when
it might be supposed that she had
run the whole gamut, she appears
with another novelty such as nobody
else in the wide world would ever
have thought Of.
For example, Kingman county
farmer is growing row of corn a
little more than 25 miles long for no
other reason than to be singular and
extraordinary. He commenced in a
fifty acre field and went round and
round in circle with lister until
he had planted the whole in single
row which commences at one end of
the edges and terminates in the mid
die. When be cultivstes it, of course,

Not So Cool as He Thought.

mer, land when 8 fire alarm was
soundedin hotel one night, I did
not find myself a failure. I turned
out of bed as quietly as you please,
got into my clothes without undue
haste, and looked out into the hall
with contempt for the guests who
were falling over each other and
faintipg away. My grip was open
and I waited to replace everything
and lock it, and then I walked out to
the nearest fire escape and dropped
my grip to the ground.
"The fire escape was simply a rope
fastened to a hook, and I was four
stories up. The hall was dark with
smoke, and I could hear men shout
ing and women screaming, but 1
pledge you my word that I wasn't a
bit ratified as I loosed the coil OF
rope and backed ont of the window.

The Hope Of the South.


The hope of the South is not in
the coming lawyer, doctor or preach
or or politician, but in the boy who
is not afraid of work and who will
pull off his coat, pull up his sleeves
and pitch in to accomplish the task
before him. The farm manager and
owner of the future requires brains
in the management of the plow as
we'll as in the professional or busi-
ness man in the commercial world or
in the welding of a pen.
The great agricultural and textile
schools should turn out those boys
whose aim in life should be to make
the worn out lands to rebloom with
bountiful harvests, increase the pro-
duction of her fertile valleys, start
the fly wheel of manufactures to re-
volving all over the State-put the
whole State on a march of progress
and development.
Do this, boys, and the fields, the
cities and the enterprises will be as
monuments to your life, erected by
your hands, for future generations to
honor. Mountaineer.

The Situation il a Nutshell.

The following from the Washing
ton Evening Star puts it in a nutshell
the whole Cuban situation: "We have
left the island in very embarrass-
ing situation. The people must have
8 profitable market for their crops,
and that market proper is the United
States. The Cubans want to trade
with US, and we want their trade.
But they must trade somewhere, and
if not with US then with our compet-
itors across the Atlantic. And yet,
as We all know, overtures from Cuba
to Europe or from Europe to Cuba.
looking to such an end would cause
a very unfavorable impression in this
country. Our present rule, then, is
that Of q dog in 8 manger. We re-
fuse to help Cuba, and would refuse
to permit Cuba to help herself. We
are standing between her and the
prosperity which rightfully belongs
to her. And, what aggravates our
ofense, We have not the excuse of an
enlightened sel6shness. We are
at the sametime injuring ourselves" -"

"Saw a curious thing in California

blowing, when he called my attention
to large centipede that he had just

that We're turned up and they were
now few feet away, waiting for the
plow to start again.
I'VE went on a few feet and the
crows followed. One big, black fellow
soon saw the centipede and swallowed
him at one gulp. Then, in the ex-
pressive slang of the day, there was
something doing in the neighborhood
of that crow. With a cav of despair
he mounted into the air for perhaps
100 feet, then fell heels over head un-
til he was few feet from the ground.
Then he managed to catch himself and
flew upward again and away for the
hills, cawing wildly. He had not gone
more than 800 feet, when he lost all
control of himself, and fell like n shot
to the ground. We went over to where
he had fallen, and found him on his
back with his feet in the air. stone

Matters of a General Interest. When
ever, therefore, a Dispute arose con-
cerning the Accuracy of a Statement
about a Public Occurrence the Disput-

the Difference which existed between
Them. When He had Rendered his
Decision, after the Manner of an Ora
Gle, it was Accepted as a Verdict from
which no Appeal could be Made. And
the Fame of this Man grew exceeding
Great, and He soon had no other Occu-
patton hut that of Arbitrating Disputes
over Matters of a Public Nature ard
OF General Interest. One day He was
asked by an Inquisltive Person where
He had Acquired His Universal Knowl-
edge which had made Him such an In
dividual Of Note. While a Significant
Smile Hovered around His Intelligent
Countenance He spake these Words:

BrnyerY of Priyate Jones.

Private William II. Jones of the Hos
pital Corps Of the Army called at the
War Department and was personally
commended by Major j. V. Il. Hoff, of
the Surgeon Generals Office for the
energy and bravery displayed by him
in this city a few days ago.
Jones was in charge of six insane
soldiers who were being taken in an
ambulance from the Baltimore and
Ohio station to the Government Hospi-
tai for the Insane. When the vehicle
reached the corner of First and b
streets the horses took fright and get
ting beyond control of the driver,
dashed madly over the plaza on the
east front OF the Capitol. Jones
jumped out of the ambulance and run
ming to the head Of the team caught the
bit of the Off horse and by great
strength and deXterity threw the strug-
Cling animals to the ground. This
closed their wild flight and saved the
occupants of the vehicle from almost
certain death, as the horses were about
to turn down the steep hill of the
Capitol grounds. The horses were
badly cut and the pole of the wagon
broke, but fortunately none of the
occupants was injured.
Private Jones has only recently re-
turned from service in the Philippines,
and is under orders to go to the artil-
lery post at Fort Monroe. He has
made application to be assigned to
duty at Fit. McHenry, Nd, near where
his parents reside, and it is expected
his application will be granted.-Wash-

"There's to be hanging at Vim
cennes. Tom McKinney's goin' to
be strung up"
Forty miles west of Vincennes, old
man Mckinney, father of "Tom," re-
ceived the news that his boy had final
ly been convicted Of murder and must
suffer the extreme penalty Of the law.
The old man was plowing in the fields
with his oxen when he learned of this.
He held the beasts in the furrow for
an instant while he listened, and then
without a comment said:
Get up, Buck"
He had no particular reason to feel
for 'Tom." The boy had been wild
from his first days. Highway robbery,
pillage, murder, had all been charged
to his account before, and the father
had wondered often, dumbly, what the
end would be. Now it was in sight.
And" said the talebearer, "'Tom's'
in the Jail now, but when they put
the rope on him he'll be out in the open,
and they're going to have n jollitica-
tion in Vincennes. They tells me when
l was there that the doctors are all
after Toms body and that when
they're sure he's dead they're going
to take it and cut it up, so as to see
what made him so powerful strong"
"They be?" asked cid man McKin-
ney.
Yes. The Sheriff has said they
