Beating the Devil with Corn.

The new Sweet corn happily named
Peep O'Day is creating q great SEN
sation In oil parts of the country from
the fact that it is ten days to two weeks
earlier than any other variety and is
the sweetest of all Sweet corn. Rev:
A. L. S.ruthers Of Alfred, Maine,
wrote last July as follows to Nor.
thrup, King & Co., the seedsmen of
Minneapolis, originators of this won.
derful corn:
I'VE are eating corn from the early
Peep O'Day Sweet purchased of you
last spring. l told an old farmer the
other day that had green corn for
dinner, he looked at me in astonish-
ment then said: Out of q camp l
said, mo, of the cob Come from the
South?' NO, out Of my garden He
looked 1T me q minute and then said,
That beats the DEVIL While my
occupation as . minister is fighting
the devil, never thought before Of
competing with him by raising corn.

with any variety but Peep .O'Day."' II.

Let Us Have II Quickly.

The pOstOffice department is cOnstd.
ering the advisability of making q new
special rate of postage on fourth-clsss
matter for rural routes. 1t is about 2
cents pound, with p ackages limited
to five pounds. This is to accommo-
date rural patrons in ordering grocer
les and other chandise from their
home merchants, the rate applying
only to patrons Of the town from which
the route starts. The idea ia that if a
farmer telephones in for pound OF
coffee from q merchant, the latter
could send it to the postottice and have
the rural carrier deliver it for three
cents, instead of Is cents as at present.
The proposed rate would not apply to
merchandise sent from any other
towns and consequently would bar out
mail order houses Review.

st. Joseph, Mich, April 1.-Mem-

are deeply puzzled over the case of
Miss Mabel Rigney, a we'll known
lady of this city, who died last night
from an affection of the heart. 1t is
stated that while working as an oper-
ator in local telephone exchange
the young lady was so severely fright
ened by a flash of lightning which
coursed along the wires that her heart
was displaced. Gradually she was
taken with pains and for the last two
weeks had been in intense agony, her
heart beats constantly growing more
rapid until just before ceath 1872 pull
sations per minute were registered.

1t was just as much an abomination

Lincoln did not touch it there because
he had no power. The rebates of the
Standard Oil company were just as
outrageous before the law was passed
forbidding them as they were after

is now overpowering it's competitors
just as wrongfully as with the re.
