SAY what we will Of the horrors Of

of courts and juries and pardoning
boards doing their duties promptly and

farmer, what curious things we find in

one that you can't tell me why 1t is.
That's corn heatin up in the spring.

If it's whole corn or cracked corn or
cornmeal. You keep it In any kind Of

fur corn to be planted the corn in the

gins to heat up, and when the planted
corn begins to grow what you've got

you'll lose it all. In few days it'll
cool down again, and you won't have
no more trouble with it durin' the sum-

THE MISSING FOWL.


An Experience With an Absent
minded English Artist.
Wills invited me to dinner one after
noon when l met him In the Strand. l
accepted, reminding him that as he
was absentminded he had better make
q note Of the evening. As he had no
paper in his pocket he wrote the date
on his shirt cuff. When the appointed
evening arrived I went to his studio.
The door was opened by Wills, and /
could see that he had forgotten all
about the appointment. "Ah, old fel-
low" he exclaimed, do not be too
hard on me. The cuff went to the
wash, and the date with it. But there
is a fowl in the pot boiling here" con-
tinued Mr.. Wills. Just come in and
wait few minutes"
l had my misgivings, but walked in
side and sat down upon the only chair
not crowded with paint, brushes and
palettes. After waiting for about
twenty minutes, feeling deucedly hun

reminding Wills that l was present.

coming forward he lifted the lid of the
pot and peered inside. 1T IS very
odd," he remarked, "but | cannot see
the fowl. Extraordinary! No one has
been here, SO the bird cannot have
been stolen"
Well, the long and short of 1t is that
a week or two later | called again at
the studio, noticed peculiar odor and
discovered the old fowl wrapped up in
a piece of brown paper. "Ah" said
Wills, now / know how it all hap
pened. When the fowl was brought in
there came a Smart visitor-Lady c.
about sittings for her portrait. I must
have thrown the fowl behind n canvas
and forgotten all about 1t. But now;

Some persons are of the opinion that
the first writing was upon thin pieces
Of wood. From their convenience this
seems probable. Such boards were used
at an early period by the Greeks and
Romans, and were frequently covered
with wax, which was of course more
easily written upon than the bare
wood. Where wax was used errors were
readily erased by rubbing with the
blunt end of the piece of metal which
served for a pen. To make the writing
more visible 1t appears that some black
substance was smeared over the sur
face of the white wax and remained in
the scra tched marks.

MARSH ROOT

No better combination, as we prepare
it, could be formulated to act more spe-
officially upon the Kidneys and Liver
than Marsh Root As Liver Invigor
ator Marsh Root is now conceded fact,
and where the Liver is torpid and slug
g1sh Constipation manifest the body
tired, the eyes blurred, and weakened,
the complexion poor, sensation of dull
headaches, and languor prevailing,
Marsh Root will overcome them.
AS to the Efficacy of Marsh Root, and
its fight against Kidney Diseases, you
can be your own judge if you are an af
ficted, and if it fails to relieve or cure
you, take the bottle back to your Drug
gist and he will give you your
money back. Marsh Root stands for
the cure of Inflammation or Catarrh of
the Bladder, Blocked Kidneys, Scalding
Urine, Rheumatic Gout. Gravel, Uric
Acid, etc. The organs that require the
most careful attention (and are the most
often neglected, and the human filters
or strainers-the Kidneys, and therefor
doubly require your attention.
Do not delay when the Kidney machinery
needs repair. Do not allow a break down to
go along when it is too late-"A stitch in
time saves nine" In 80 cases out of every
100, a bottle of Marsh Root for IA small outlay
will relieve you of your trouble and worry.

Appeal In Bennett Case Makes
Some Sensational AllegaS
lions
UNDUE INFLUENCE is ALLEGED
Mrs. Bennett Claims Bryan and Wife
Induced Mr.. Bennett to Sign Certain
Document and Copy Part Of Another
Trial Promises to be Unusually In.
terestins,

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 12.-Mr. and
Mrs. w. ]. BRYAN are accused of "in-
ducing and rersuading" the late T. 5.
Bennett to sign one paper and to copy
part of another. the latter addressed to
Mr.. Bennett in statement filed by
counsel for Mrs. Bennett, the widow,
giving reasons for the appeal recently
taken from the decision of Probate
Judge Cleaveland, regarding Mr.. Ben
Nets will.
The papers referred to in this state
ment are the Sealed letter by which
Mr.. Bryan and family are to be given
$50 900 by consent of Mrs. Bennett and
letter similar in purport which Mr..
Bryan produced in court. The appeal
says that 1t was at that time the IN
tention of Mr.. Bryan and his wife that
only the sealed letter addressed to Mrs.
Bennett was to be brought to her
Knowledge "and that was the purpose
OF inducing her to permit William J.
Bryan to get the $50. 000.'
This places new light on the case,
as in the first notice OF appeal the at
torneys for Mrs. Bennett contented
themselves with the brief statement
that objection will be taken to all OF
the requests of the will, providing for
trust funds for educational purposes
to be administered by Mr.. and Mrs.
William j. Bryan. and also to the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Bryan as executor
and trustee
The document continues: THE Writ
ing addressed to this appellant. the
wife OF Mr.. Bennett, did not state the
real and true arrangement which Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan had induced Mr.. BEN
nett to enter into with them. The
fact that the children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan are to receive $4,000 of Mr..
Benefits money was not stated, but
on the contrary the writing addressed
to the widow expressly stated that II
William ]. Bryan for any reason Is
unwilling to receive that sum for him
self. that he shall distribute the $4,000
among educational and charitable In
stitutions, while in truth and fact and
in law, the letter addressed to Mr. Bry-
an constituted him a trustee for his
wife and children; and that the sum
of $4,000. If received, by Mr.. Bryan,
would belong to his wife and children,
all OF which Mr.. Bryan and his wife
well knew"

upset the arrangement by procuring y

the impresslonists, who include many
