the mistake of thinking that the
best seed corn can be selected from
the CRIB where there are no means of
telling on what kind of stalk an ear
was produced. OF course, the best
time to select seed, in accordance
with these suggestions, is in the fall
while the corn is being husked in
the field. The ears should be sound,
we'll matured, with deep straight
kernels, loosely set; the stalk, of
medium height, strong and vigor-
GUS. Extremely tall stalks usually
prodnee long loose ears that are not
desirable. After the seed Is COL
lected it should be stored in a dry,
airy place to prevent it from sprout-
ing or losing vitality. The best
way to store it is to take pieces of
string and tie the ears to them, let
ting each one hang two or three
inches apart from the next, and then
hang the strings from the rafters of
the barn or attic where they will re
dry and out of the way of the mice
and rats.

bunch of trouble on the horizon of
civilization. They are bounded on
the north by rocks and destruction,

The Philippine Islands are a nice

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

After years of violent abuse of
his family, consisting of a wife and
ten children, William Clark died in
Des Moines in horrible attack of
delirium tremens. A newspaper re-
porter called for particulars aud the
widow sat down and penned the fol-
lowing note, which she requested be
given to the press: ain announcing
the death of William Clark, please
do not say that his family will
deeply mourn For years he has
been husband and father only
in name. For affection we have re-
ceived in return only curses and
blows. He has neither fed us nor
clothed us. 1t is better for him that
he is dead. 1t is better for us. Now
that the long dark chapter is ended,
do not make us hypocrites by pub
fishing that which is not true"
The tragedy which occurred in
the good old county of King &
Queen recently was one of the
most shocking that has ever hap
pened in this entire section and
threw pail of sorrow over the en-
tire community. In her girlhood
days we knew the unfortunate wo-
man as one of the fairest, brightest
and best of her county's charming
lassies. Alas! Alasl that she should
have been destined for such a fate.
and difficult, indeed, it is to under
stand. 1t was our pleasure, too, to
number among our acquaintances
and friends Mr.. Robert K. Gressitt,
another of the victims of this hor-
rible tragedy, and of whom naueht
but good ever reached our ears.
Young man, when Mr.. Coker took
his first drink do you believe for
one moment he realized or would
have admitted even what its fearful
consequences might be? DO you be-
lieve that whiskey was in the slight
est degree, directly or indirectly, re-
sponsible for this fige-fold crime?
If you do, then in your own, your
family's, your country's, in Heavens
name we beg you never to take an
other drink; and if you have never
taken the first, then let this sad
warning burn into your heart inef-
fably and place yourself in the ranks
of those who would rid society of
this awful curse by the awakening
of pure and noble sentiment, and
would place beneath their heel this
terrible monster which has wrecked
innumerable useful lives, destroyed
hundreds and thousands of happy
homes, leaving sorrow and desola.

SOME TREE.PLANTING TALK.
petersburg Index-Appeal.


Good luck to the tree planting con.
test of the Civic Improvement League.
With all our residence streets lined
with shade trees and a forestry officer
at the City Hall to look after them,
st. Louis will more than ever merit
Its already well earned reputation as
a summer resort-St.Louis Republic.
A good lesson for New York in
this extract from our st. Louis con-
temporary's columns. 1t is a re-
minder of what might have been
done for the beautifying of our resi-
Dental sections. But here the policy
for twenty years and more has been
to destroy, not to add to, those trees
which had been left us by a previous
generation.-N. Y. Herald.
The foregoing is very applicable to
Petersburg. Some years ago Captain
John w. Hays, a man of great ability
as a civil engineer, and of advanced
ideas on municipal development and
progress, started a system of tree
planting in this city which, if kept
up, would have contributed greatly
to the beauty and comfort of our
streets. Unfortunately, Capt. Hays
successors in the office of City Engi-
neer have not considered tree plant
ing as of much Importance, and con-
sequently no trees have been planted
since Capt. Hays term expired, and
no attention has been paid to those
planted by Captain Hays. This is
to be deplored as not 10 line with the
example of the most progressive
cities of the country or with the in
terests of this city. Trees should be
literally planted in all residential
parts of the city.

HAzING rs DOOMED.

Midshipmau Branch last week died
at the Naval Academy. Annapolis,
from the effects of a fist fight, an
affair of honor, forced upon him by
his class. The Government is going
to investigate, and this sort of thing
will probably be stopped, as was
hazing at West Point.
At Mount Vernon, Ohio, Paul
Barber, zeta alpha freshman, has
given the most important testimony
so far secured in the secret inquest
into the death of young Stuart Pier,
son, the Kenyon College student
who was killed by an engine on the
railroad track last Saturday night.
Barber testified that he lay bound
and blindfolded upon the track not
two hundred yards from the spot
where Pierson was mangled to death,
waiting for his two hazers. This,
Barber declared, occurred about an
hour before Persons life was crushed
out. Testimony in the Pierson ia
quest developed the fact that the
boy was lying PROSTATE on the track
when the engine struck him, also
that he may have been tied to the
track by another initiating party
which was out and had bound their
victim to the rails. The evidence
was that it is the custom of the fra
ternity men to tie candidates to the
track, temporarily, to frighten
them A week before his death,
Pierson, it was brought out in the
examination, was compelled by the
fraternity men to crawl the length
of the village, geaded behind by
men with sticks and clubs, and that
this treatment developed abcesses
on his knees. The 'bandages which
DR.. Workman placed about the sores
were on the body when it was fonnd.
