Legend Of Corn.
From the Atchison Globe.

Corn is the most beautiful of all our na-
tive plants, and many are the legends
twined about its history. 1t was certainly
cultivated by the Indians long before the
coming of the pale face and they tell very
pretty story of its origin.
A young brave went out into the woods
to fast at that period of life when youth is
exchanged for manhood. He built lodge
of boughs in secluded place and painted
his face a somber hue By day he amused
himself in walking about looking at the
various shrubs and wild plants, and all night
lay down in his bower He besought gift
from Master of Life, and he hoped it would
be something to benefit his race. On the
third day, as he lay there looking up into
the sky, he saw spirit come down in the
shape of beautiful youth, dressed in green,
and having green plumes on his head, who
told him to arise and wrestle with him as
this was the only way in which he could
attain his wishes
He did so and found his strength renewed
by the effort. The visit and the trial of
wrestling we're repeated for four days, the
youth feeling at each trial that, although
his bodily strength declined, moral and
supernatural energy was impaired which
promised him the final victory On the
third day his celestial visitor spoke to him.
Tomorrow" said he, 'will be the seventh
day of our fast, and the last time | shall
wrestle with you. You will triumph over
me and gain your wishes. AS soon as you
have thrown me down strip off my clothes
and bury me on the spot in soft, fresh earth.
When You have done this leave me, but
come occasionally to visit the place, to keep
the weeds from growing. Once or twice
cover me with fresh earth
He then departed, but returned the next
day and as he predicted, was thrown down.
The young brave obeyed his instructions in
every particular, and soon had the pleasure
of seeing the green plumes of his sky Wis
itor shooting up through the ground He
carefully weeded the earth and kept it fresh
and soft, and in due time was gratifed by
beholding the matured plant, bending with
its golden grain, and gracefully waving its
green leaves and yellow tassels in the wind.
He then invited his parents to the spot to
behold the new plant. at is mondamin, -
said the father; cit is the spirits grain.
They Immediately prepared feast, invited
their friends to partake of it, and thus
originated Indian corn.

Unusual thinness may mean
worry, extra work, care of the

sign of serious disease like
consumption.

for thin people, whatever the
cause, is Vinol.
