pired. Feeling in duty bound TO finish

that he was then unlicensed. This, the
judge said, in his charge TO the jury. was
contrary 10 law and a verdict OF guilty
would be proper. The jury. after an
hours elaboration. returned a verdict

ating circumstances recommended mer-
cy. Judge Kimball imposed fine Of SO.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Mnrxe1s OF Corn cu1ture.

Thousands of practical instances
could be given to show the value of i'm
proved varieties of corn. For instance,
one southern Illinois farmer more pro-
gressive than the rest was induced to
cur enough improved seed to plant
800 acres as a result of his study of
corn in the Illinois College Of Agricul-
ture. These 800 acres outyielded all Of
the other fields on his farm more than
thirty bushels per acre, and so far as
could be determined the fields of that
entire section yielded about thirty
bushels per acre. This increase in.
yield meant a total gain of about
5000 bushels, which represented a
cash value Of about $4,000 that sea-
son AS this increase did not represent
all increased cost of production, the
gain IA pure profit. In another case
n farmer in central Illinois became in
terested in improved seed corn through
the school Of corn Judging in the lii
nois Agricultural college. He secured
enough seed grown by a corn breeder
to plant eighty acres. AS a result he
raised almost twenty-five bushels more
per acre on this field than where the
ordinary seed was planted.-Cosmo-
politan.

She kueM Women.

Flossie, who is doing her first year in
school. albeit she is a very bright child,
came in the other evening and began
catechising her mother.
Mamma" she inquired. sis there
anybody in history named Timoi,
Tyde?'
i've heard of such a name as I'll
mon," ventured the mother doubtfully.
WAS Timon a man or a woman"
"A man. il l remember correctly"
81 guess that must be the same one,
then"
BY this time the mother was quite
curious.
"Why do you think so when you
know so little about it," she queried.
WELL" responded Flossie, with CON
6dence. 1.-The teacher said today that
Timon Tyd" waits for no man, and
didn't think it could be a woman"

Triumphant Schoolboys.

A few days ago the venerable king
of Denmark received Il letter purport-
ing to come from four lads, scholars Of
a school at Flakkenbjerg. 1t was short,
clear and sensational and ran as fol-
lows: 'To King Christian in Copenka.
gen: We are four boys of the Flakken.
bjerg seminary who have been flogged
by a teacher with a steel wire rope.
Unless that is stopped it will kindle a
fire." The missive was unsigned. Usu-
ally anonymous letters are tossed into
the waste paper basket. But in this
case the monarch held that an inquiry
ought to be made. so he sent the letter
to the minister of justice and instruct
ed him to have the matter thoroughly
investigated. This was duly done, and
the facts which came to light con-
frmed the extraordinary allegation of
the unnamed scholars. One of the
masters. overzealous in applying the
rod. had used the unacademized steel
wire rope in the hope of making a
deeper impression on his backward or
Maynard pupils. Once the fact was
established he was dismissed on the
spot.-London Telegraph.

Married In Her Petticont,

In order to live up to her vow to be
married in white Mrs. Martha Gordon
Of Frankfort. Ind, took off her dress
skirt and was married in her whi:e
petticoat. Henry Harris was the
bridegroom.
The couple werei married in the
county clerks office by Justice of the
Peace William Campbell. Just before
the ceremony the bride elect asked
County Clerk Smith if there was a
room convenient where she could ar
range her toilet. Mr.. Smith directed
her into a private room, and then the
assembled guests waited.
Presently the door opened, and the
bride appeared. The squire. a white
bearded official. gasped and turned red
about the ears. for the lady came for
ward with her white petticoat the
most prominent portion of her trous-
seau.
81 said I'd be married in white. and
I will. Proceed with the ceremony
she said.
After the ceremony the bride retired
to the oom and again donned her
skirt.-Indianapolis News.

A Rebel Wife.

Transforming Thespians who occa.

Fashionable Trimmings.

Fringes are back in fashion again.
Ehe knotted silk fringe is seen on
many of the imported gowns, and
fringe is often combined with elab-
srately embroidered bands as a trim
ming. Mexican drawn work will be
used on many of the linen gowns.
And, as for buttons, there is simply
no end of them. They are one of the
real charms of the season. One may
wonderfully accentuate a gown with
smart buttons.
The heavy linen gowns show big
pearl buttons. Then there are elab-
orately enameled and jeweled buttons,
to say nothing Of the buttons in imi-
tation Of fruit.
Yak lace will trim many Of the
spring gowns, and cluny lace both in
silk and cotton will be seen.

Doesn't Appreciate Art.

The sculpture representing Kansas
IN a group at the st. Louis exposition
is a half nude woman with arm
thrown owe the neck Of a bull. The
woman" comments hat high art critic,
the Atchison Globe, has no clothes on
except a drapery across her knees and
a handkerchief wound around her fore
head. The former might be a bath
robe. but the latter looks as though
she had just finished busting and sat
down to rest. But she has a sickle in
one hand. and Kansas women don't
use sickles to dust with. And there Is
the bull. Bulls are not that tame. II it
had been a COW OF her feet, with a
milking bucket under her. it would
have been more like. The woman's
feet are bare except for a pair of san.
dals. Our women don't hang around
fierce bulls in such attire, but. on the
contrary. run from them. ....
IF the artist insists upon a bull, then
he should have a full dressed woman
holding up her skirts and running fol
dear life for a fence.
'We don't understand art. We are
glad when we see what is to represent
Kansas that we don't"

NEW Q STORIES
Change OF Front.

An interesting story is recalled Of a
newspaper correspondent who came to
Washington from Pittsburg a dozen or
so years ago.. He worked for a news
paper which was very bitter in it's de-
nu%nciation Of special privileges to cor
p%orations, especially to transportation
companies. After he had been here, a
short time he changed his service and
was employed by n very conservative
newspaper. He then began furnishing
an entirely different kind of CORE
spondence.
One of his old friends paid him a Wis
1t from Pittsburg and after warm con
gratulations as to the professional
progress he was making offered this
observations:
tom, I certainly am delighted to see
you getting along so well. But / must
say that 1 miss those rib roasting dis
patches you used to fire in about the
railroads. What is the matter? Are
you losing your nerve?"
Ton chewed his cigar reflectively for
a moment and then produced a fat
pocketbook. from which he extracted a
dozen annual passes over various rail-
roads. After exhibiting them he
drawled:
"Jim, so far as l am concerned the
railroads car lave the rotunda Of the

A Sweet Commitment,

On one occasion as Nine. Melba was
coming out of her room in a New
York hotel after some hours practice
a lady who was staying on the same
floor approached her and said: "Par-
don me. madam, but l think you will
be touched at hearing what my little
boy said just now. He is lying in bed
recovering from an illness. and when
you began to sing he held up his little
hand and murmured. Hush, mummie,
dear; birdie singing!""
An ingenious compliment the Aus
tralian nightingale fully appreciated.

MaorfIand's Niagara.

The Huka falls-the Niagara of Ma
oriland-which the New Zealand gov
eminent has an idea of turning to &C
count for the generation Of electric
power, are on one of the head reaches
of the Waikato liver, q few miles from
where the great stream flows out of
Lake Taupo. Lake Taupo lies very
high above sea level, and the Waikato
has its beginning through a narrow
chasm in the rocky wall of the lake.
Flowing out through this passage, the
enormous mass of water is whirled at
last over the huge precipice at Huka,
and the falls form one of the grandest
sights in New Zealand. On the report
Of an expert the Wellington govern
ment expects to get electric power
enough from the Huka falls t supply

purposes.

Explanation of Advance In Price.
Cod liver oil has lately been quoted
at a price nearly three times as high
as it commanded a year ago. The ex-

tically the entire supply of the oil used
for medicinal purposes comes from the
Norway fisheries, and the cod have
been destroyed or driven from their
feeding grounds by predatory seals.
Let US not judge the seals too harshly.
Perhaps they needed a nutritive slim
