Pharaoh's Corn.
e Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your paper of Thursday evening ap-
peared article headed 'Pharaoh's Corn a
Fake and showing that ancient Egyptian
corn was devoid of fertility. This recalls
an incident of my boyhood, many summers
ago, when residing in the old granite state.
Having received from my grandmother a
kernel of corn brought from Egypt by her
pastor, Rev. Nathaniel Boughton, who
stated that it was obtained from the re-
mains of a mummy. 1 was prompted to
plant it. To the surpise of every one it
Sprouted and grew with the result that
three ears of ripe corn were gathered in
the fall The popularity of the corn was
that every kernel was inclosed in a sep
arate husk and then attached to the cob
Nothing of the kind was ever seen before,
and the incident passed by a freak.
II any one is desirous of fathomng the
future history of that kernel they may
trace back the record of a similar ear of
corn which was on exhibition at the Agri-
cultural Department a few years ago, and
may be there at present.

DECISION Is FINAL.
The International Railroad Secretary,
Geo. McDiiI, Talks of Railway and
City Cooperation.

The twelve men constituting the
Y. NJ. C. A. board of directors and the
general secretary met in regular
monthly business session in A. A
Jones' office last night. Two mem
bers of the association advisory board
and also Mr.. ID. Geo. McDill of Omaha

the directors. The routine of regular
monthly business was soon gone
through. Secretary Hates report
showed that the building fund sub.
scription list was growing nicely. Mr..
McDilIs visit to the city was prima-
rily in the interest of railroad men
relative to the association, and in a
talk of perhaps thirty minutes the
possible relations that might be
brought about between this assOcia'
ton and the Santa Fe company were
discussed. He and Mr.. H. W. Kelly
were asked to intercede with the rail
road officials for a donation to the
association of $4,000.
The question Of location of the as
ISOLATION building was taken up and
1t led into a warm discussion lasting
far into the night. Balloting was re
sorted to, and for a number Of ballots
there was a tie-up in which no one
seemed willing to yield. A conclusion
was finally reached locating the build
ing between the city hall and opera
house, but depending upon certain con
| ditions, which are left in the hands Of
a committee to work out.
Secretary Hates was made a com
mittee of n to confer with the arch
itect on plans for the building ant
secure as soon as possible a prelimi
nary draft of the same for the ap
prevail Of the board.
The matter of a prospective endoW
ment to the association was placed
in the hands of a committee to look
up and report upon at the next meet
ing.
Mr.. McDill left on No. 8 this morn
ing for Trinidad. Thence he goes to
Childers, Texas, to open a $4,000

Tell me not in sneering manner
Advertising does not pay.
Rich are they who fling their banner
Boldest to the world today.
Advertising done in earnest,
Done with wiscom, heart and soul,
With determination, sternest,
Always wins the wished-for goal.
Lives of many men remind us
We to great success can climb
If the reading public find us
Advertising all the time.
Advertising with persistent
Energy to spread vi fame,
Ever honest and consistent
In performing what we claim.
In the worlds commercial battle,
In the rivalry of trade.
We must hustle, shout and rattle
Ere impression a be made.
Not enjoyment-rather sorrow
Is the certain end of those
Who are apt 10 let tomorrow,
Like today, unhecded close.
Careless of their advertising,
Which, If penned in commonsense
Is the method enterprising
That insures full recompense.
