Beats Mason County Corn.

A Nebraska paper says that the
corn is SO tall out there that the
farmers will have to use balloons
to gather it and then let the ears
down with paraohutes to keep the
ears from driving themselves out
of sight in the ground when they
fall.

Cranks.

It is by no means the worst
thing in the world to be called a
Drank. We find as we prowl up
and down through the earth that
wherever we meet man with suf-
ficient individuality to stand
against impunity and shams of
every kind, too honest to get rich
by underhand methods, and too
brave to be cowardly conformist,
he is called crank. Wherever a
woman is found who thinks more
of the brain than the hat that sur
mounts it, she is called crank.
Wherever a man is f. und who. hon.
estly believes life holds better
things than to become a dancing
pop-in-jay and social success by
fine clothes and society manners,
he is crank. Whenever a girl is
found who laughs at fashion and
wears gown to please herself
rather than conform to passing
style, who stands by friend at the
risk of becoming unpopular, and
who is a law unto herself by the
dictates of her own pure, sweet
womanly heart, she is tcrank
DISCOVERIES are cranks. Philan-
thropists aud poets are oranks.
Christopher Columbus was a crank,
and yet Chicago. after 400 years.
turned itself head over heels to do
him honor. All, we'll when you
count on your fingers ths worlds
most famous cranks, and note the
outcome of their crankiness, who
would but go down upon that de-
spised list?

DECEIVED Il HUNG CHANG


The late III Hung Chang lived in

during a visit 10 Paris il Is related,
he turned down invitation after inyi-

when he did consent 10 leave his hotel

having his cook go along al prepare
the meal. As Ii wore a very precious
button On mis- cap. thc French chief OF
polite deemed it wise to have him
"shadowed" and accordingly a landau
of detectives invariably followed the
old Celestial wherever he went. or

his glasses notice this. He stood it
two days, but the third. when driving
to the Elysee in company with the
French minister Of foreign affairs, his
curiosity got the better Of hiin. Lo-k-
ing intently at the minister he blunt
ly inquired who these follow ers were.
But the minister was prepared for
him. without moving a muscle ne re-
piled: "Your excellency. they are
members OF the French academy.
They are as fun Of wisdom as OF sci
ence. Did they but live in the mighty
empire IN which you are so glorious
they would wear the crystal button.

The LOVE OF WRITING.
True Literature Is Called the Voice Of
the Soul.

True Literature Is Called the Voice Of
the Soul.
We are inclined on the whole to be-
lieye that the stimulus to literary pro
uucuon exists within and not without
the man. 1t is not external circum-
stances, poverty or riches, sickness or
health, greatness or humbleness that
determine the productions or output
of genius. 1t is the characteristics Of
the man that determine not what he
shall learn or what he shall think, but
what he shall do. A stimulus from
without. such as poverty. may start
production. Of course, but that is mere
iy the physical awakening Of a dispo-
sition that in any circumstances would
have been awakened in some way at
some time. True literature is the voice
of the soul calling from the windows
of the house of clay IN response to
those things Of life that touch the ma
ture of the soul that speaks.-London
