HOLD CORN TWELVE YEARS.
Iowa Farmers Store Cereal for Long Time
to Await for Better Price.

Twelve years ago a great crop Of corn
was raised in Iowa. The cereal sold az
low as IA to IS cents per bushe, and
many a farmer, and Spectator, and
grain buyer built cribs and stored away
thousands of bushels of the cheap corn.
believing that the crop could not afford
to be raised at such small price per BUSH
ell. Neesen Brothers of Wellsburg, in
Grundy county, Ia, were among the
well to do farmers who stored away
great quantities of this corn, and now,
as nearly all of the crop of that year has
been disposed of, these enterprising Ger
mans have just sold 10000 bushels Of
corn twelve years old at 10 cents per
bushel.
When the corn is all hauled. the farm
ers' profit on this Investment will be-
nearly $1,000. They own several hun
dred acres of choice Grundy county land
and value their real estate at 500 per
acre. They believed that corn aiscd
from such land, and other like ii, need
not be sold for II cents per bushel, and
their speculation of twelve years ago
proved that they are right. Most Of the
corn cribbed in great quantities in that
section in 1893 was sold three and four
years afterwards at so and 30 cents Il
bushel
The NecScn corn was cared for, did
not rot, or mold, or must, and is now III
fine condition.

IF conveniences for swimming are

SEQUEL OF A MINUET.
~~~N-%~~~~~~-

ST was on the first day of Peggy 5
arrival at her summer home that
Polly Dexter, her most intimate
friend came bursting in.
Thank goodness you've come at
last" she exclaimed by way of greet
ing. You have saved my life. l want
ed you to take part in the minuet
which rashly promised to get up for
the yacht club masquerade ball week
from tonight I've had an awful time
with the old thing. and now II you
don't help me | shall give it up"
Poor Polly" commiserated the teas
ing Peggy. who is to take part?'
"Oh, just the ones you know" re-
piled Polly. Then she added abruptly,
Did you know that the Thurbers had
taken a cottage here for the season.
She looked ut Peggy curiously as she
spoke. but her friends face was as
calm and innocent rs that of baby.
Peggy rose and said in carefully
Indifferent voice:
Il certainly did not, although IT
makes absolutely no difference to me
where they are. But | may as we'll
tell you now. Polly" she continued
warmly. If Jack Thurber is to dance

Miss Dexter. gleefully. NO wonder

Aloud she merely said oh. there's
not much chance of Jacks taking part.

probably be away Joe Brewer is TO

"All right then" said Peggy, once
more. smiling cordially, I'D love to
take part What are you going to

and wear masks She gave little
gasp as she said this. and Peggy look

promised Billy I'd 20 sailing with him
ut half past II. Its lucky he is well
trained TO wait for me"
With merry laugh Polly ran down
stairs and out on to the board walk.
Peggy watched her moment from
the window. ami her eyes fingered al
most obviously on the two figures that
presently east OF in the trim little
boat Il never saw any one So happy
as She is since she became engaged IL

TONI" she replied slightly emphasiz-
ing the pronoun.
1T isn't Mr. Thornton. am Jack, "
came the reply.
Peggy bit her lip and half withdrew
her hand as she and Jack moved for
ward 10 the center of the square The
rich color flooded her cheeks. but some
how after her first movement of angry
surprise she could not repress the glad
joy that surged in her heart
Don't be angry, Peggy" pleaded
Jack in low voice as they once more
stood together But you absolutely
refused TO see me. and you would not
read my letters, and l had to talk
with you somehow"
The girl listened quietly, waving her
fan nonchaantly
They We're separated again before
she could reply. but in the next fig
ure as Jack knelt at her feet it was
in real and not pretending alteration.
Peggy knew Their quarrel seemed
so foolish now. SO trivial thing to
mar the happiness of two lives. Peg
gy drew long sigh as she courtesied
low to her handsome partner
Tell me, sweetheart. is il forgive
and forget|" whispered Jack as he
kissed her hand If it is give me
the dance that comes just after the
miuuet.
For answer Peggy looked at him as
She moved slowly in the last figure of
the minuet Then rs she turned for
one final deep courtesy she gently
| slipped her dance card into her part

Held Up and Robbed.

Returning home from Sunbury, on
Tuesday night. Ammon M. Reader, a
prominent Irish Valley resident, was
murderously attacked aud robbed by
masked men.
Reader came to Sunbury to pay off
note at one of the banks. He started
for home after dark. When near the
Gross Roads Church, three masked men
jumped into the road way and stop
ped his team. Two of the members of
the gang looked after Reader. while
the third held the horses. Reader was
rendered unconscious by blow on the
head with a club. after which the
highwaymen searched his clothes. Sc.
curing six dollars in money, gold
watch and the cancelled note.
Completing the robbery the men
nearly disrobed Reader. QUITTING his
clothing into shreds.
Leaving their victim unconscious in
the buggy, the robbers started the horse
and the animal reached home in safe
ty. stopping at the barn. Reader had
not regained his senses when found,
which was several hours after the
hold-up.
Reader is unable to describe the
men, but believes they saw him COM
ing ont of the bank in Sunbury and
followed him, thinking he had drawn
a large sum of money.

Brick Pavement Is Advocated

The State Highway Department has
acknowledged receipt Of the Borough g
application for State Aid to recon-
struot Mill street between Center
street and the Borough line. Whether
the matter will be Immediately taken
up or not is uncertain. Something will
have to develop very soon in order to
enable the Borough to take further ac-
tion at its next meeting, which takes
place tomorrow night.
If the proposition goes through,
judging from late expressions it does
not seem at all unlikely that the street
may be paved with vitrified brick as
far as Chambers street, macadam be.
tween that point and the Borough line
taking place of brick.
The dust arising from the top course
OF crushed limestone forms very
troublesome factor Oh the State High
way leading to Mausdale, rendering a
drive there at most times very dis
agreeable On North Mill street, which
receives the same amount of traffic, the
dust, it is claimed, would. be just as
much of factor and would render
life well-nigh intolerable along the
bnilt up street. For this reason brick
is preferred as far as Chambers street.
beyond which there are only few
houses, and these are located on the
high bank where dust will not prove
muchof an annoyance. Time is pass
ing rapidly, however, and any delay
will prove fatal to all plans looking
to the completion of a pavement be-
fore winter
