GETTING AcoUA1NTED.-1n his Life
of Bret Harte" Mr.. T. Edgar Penn
berton recalls a story which turns on
the typical westerners gift for hu-
morous understandings. In the au-
thor's early days in California he spent
a night in an inn. newly opened. At
ter he had got comfortably to bed he
was aroused by the noise Of scuff1ing
and shouting, punctuated by OCCASION
al pistol shots below.
In the morning, on going down.
stairs, he found the landlord with
bruised eye, a piece Of court plaster
extending from his cheek to his fore
head and yet with a pleasant smile on
his face. Taking his cue from this,
Harte said, well, landlord, you had
rather lively time here last night"
YES" admitted the landlord. with
a deepening smile. 1T was rather
lively time"
do you often have such lively times
round here?" continued Harte, en-
boldened by the landlords cheerful
ness.
well, no." the landlord replied re-
flectively. THE fact is, we've only
just opened yer, and last night was
the first time the boys seemed to be
getting really acquainted"

SIR MIcHAEL's THINK So."-The
late British ambassador, Sir Michael
Herbert, had horror Of interviews
He once told Senator Depew that he
lay awake nights thinking up methods
Of escape from them.
"Once on my return to America
from London" related Sir Michael to
the senator, II knew 1 would find a
small army of interviewers to meet me
at the pier seeking news Of a political
crisis in England. L fretted all the
way over until the last day Of the voy-
age, when a happy thought occurred
to me. / wrote on a dozen sheets OF
paper, I think so,' and slipped them
into envelopes. These I handed to the
reporters as I left the ship and hurried
to my carriage. I rode to my hotel
chuckling over my cleverness.
But" added the ambassador, rue
fully, when I got the papers next
morning I read column after column
Of interview in which I was quoted
as answering I think so to hundreds
Of startling questions. I never repeat

IT WAS A SUCcESS.-A young lady
who engages largely in church and
mission work was recently the moving
spirit in some amateur theatricals
which were got up in the interest of a
deserving local charity. The entertain
ment was billed, and the performance
was duly given. But somehow or 9TH
er no notice was taken of it in the To-
cal newspapers. A few days later a
friend met the young lady in question
when the conversation turned to the
theatricals.
WAS the entertainment a success?'

lady, with a smile. why, we got over

A BEFUDDLED MEMoRY.-An anec-
dote which has been going the rounds
in the British official circles concerns
the memorable experience Of a certain
member Of parliament during the last
year of Queen Victoria's reign. The
statesman in question is not one OF
those who are most firmly convinced
Of the benefits of total abstinence
and the evening Of certain public
function at which royalty was to be
present found him in a condition which
would not have been edifying to the
supporters of that movement. The
late queen was receiving the guests
or honor, and it was necessary that
the convivial M. P. should be presen-
ted with the rest. AS he approached his
sovereign Victoria extended her hand
for him to kiss. But he did not kiss
it; instead, he grasped and shook 1t
with vigorous enthusiasm, while ne
scrutinized her face with grave per-
plexity.
Your face, madam" he observed
"is perfectly familiar to me. but I'm
blowed if can remember your name!"

WISE MOTHER MOUSE.
BuiIt.Up Barrier to Keep Little Ones
From Harm.

From Harm.
When we think Of mice it Is usually
of the trouble they cause US; we are
not apt to credit the rodents with much
intelligence" said a lady at the sewing
circle, as quoted in the New YORK
Times, but I recently had an exper-
ience which shows that the little crea-
lures possess good bit Of wisdom,
after all.
Il had been annoyed for some time
by family of mice which lived In the
walls of the bed room. They nibbled
my clothes, disturbed my sleep and
when they grew so bold as to go into
the canary's cage and eat up its seed
my patience gave out and I determined
to fix them.
Il bought a trap and set it by the
hole in the wall. For five nights
caught mouse; then several days
passed without catching one. although
they were still there, for they kept up
their noise, although not coming into
my room any more.
Il found that the trap was all right,
but the hole in the wall had been closed
from the inside. 1 pulled the hliing
out It was not easy work, for 1t had
been evidently put there to stay, and
was made Of bits of plaster and rub
bish. l kept the hole open with the
trap close to it, but next day it was
filled again.
Il repeated this clearing out process
five times, and five times the filling
was replaced. 1t was evidently the
work of the mother mouse to prevent
her little ones from passing through
what had proved fatal gate to so
many. And 1 left the hole closed, for
the mice did not come into my room
again."

THE IMPORTANCE OF CORN
Missouri Offers $500 For a Worlds
Fair Scientific Corn Culture.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
ST. LOUIS, October Corn that has
won prizes aggregating $500 Will be
one of MisSouri's offerings to the uni
versal corn display that will be feat
ure of the agricultural exhibit at the
Worlds Fair.
There are ia counties in the state
and the Missouri Worlds Fair commls-
sioners have arranged for the holding
of a corn show this fall in each county.
Prizes aggregating $50 are offered for
the best twenty ears each Of white,
yellow and mixed corn. After the last
county show shall have been held, a
state corn show will be held, in st.
Louis. Here the prizes will aggregate
$1,000. There are ten prizes, ranging
from 500 down to IS for the best 100
ears Of white and red corn. For the
best display of different kinds Of corn
white, yellow, red calico, flint, sweet
or pop corn, these prizes, aggregating
SITS, are offered. Prizes are also Of
fered for longest ears, the largest ears,
and for the authentic record OF the
largest yield per acre.
In making the records uniformity or
size, the shape Of the ear, size, and pur-
ity will be considered.
The grower of corn will learn much
from this exhibit. It Is an established
fact that America Is the native nome
for the great maize family, though 1t
has been claimed that Asia Is its native
habitat. From the time the Indian
squaw tended a small plot to furnish
food for the Indian brave, when the
weather forbade his hunting with any
degree Of success, great strides have
been made in cultivating and develop
ing the cereal that has often been
crowned king" Then the yield was
small. Now a South Carolina grower
has shown that 255 bushels can be
grown on a single acre. Then 1t was
used only for food. Now it is used in
distilleries, glucose factories, sugar
works, cellulose plants, corn meal mills
and corn paper mills. Corn is one of
the American farmers most important
crops and each year it adds one billion
dollars to their bank accounts.
At the Worlds Fair corn show the
farmer may derive untold benefits by
comparing his methods Of cultivation
with that adopted by the winners OF
prizes. He may gain ideas about Sc
lecting his seeds. The marvellous pos
sibilities Of scientific corn culture are
Just beginning to be realized, and the
results obtained from Missouri's con-
tests will be awaited with interest in
the world of agriculture.

That Car Load of
OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS

4 BOUT which we have been telling
"A you, has arrived. We have sold
quite a number and of course expect
to sell them all and order more in the
course Of time. If you have never
used one just ask your neighbor about
how he likes his. We are satisfied
that he has one and we are entirely
willing that he shall express his hon.
est convictions as to the merit Of the
Plow without any suggestions from US.
We know that the Oliver Plow has
neither rivals or competitors In its par
ticular sphere, and to prove this will
simply say that there are about twen-
ty-five concerns in the United States
that make so-called chilled plows, along
with other tools, implements and ma
chinery while the oliver people manu-
facture nothing except plows and sell
80 per cent Of all the CHILLED plows
sold and used in the world. Could
there be any more conclusive proof of
the superiority Of their goods? The
overwhelming majority Of farmers do
not buy the Oliver PIow because they
are cheaper than Others because they
are not, or because they love the oil.
YER people, but because they know
they are the "BEST ON EARTH"

DEscR1PT1vE.-Private John Allen

DEscRIPTIvE.-Privat John Allen Is
responsible for this one:
Last year there were number OF
claims for damages brought against
one Of the railroads in Mississippi by
the farmers in a certain county Of that
state. These claims arose out Of the
fact that many hogs had been killed
by the trains Of the railroad in ques-
ton. A mixed commission was form
ed Of railroad men and others to de-
termine the equity Of these claims
Among others questioned by this com
mission was an old darky who claimed
to have been an eyewitness Of the
annihilation Of one hog.
Said the chairman of the commission
to Zeph:
Tell us, in as few words as posi-
BILE, how this hog was killed"
Old Zeph shifted huge cud of to-
bacco from one cheek to the other
cleared his throat, and then replied:
well, sah," said he, las nearly as
kin make it out, it was dis way: Dc
train footed and den TUX him."
