Tennessee has contributed largely TO
swelling their population; but they
ale by no means all. When the cen
sus was taken there were Is, 149 Ter
nsseeans in Indian territory. In New
York there were 2,513 of them, ami
there was not a state in the union or d
territory in which there were not pei
sons who were born in Tennessee.
Of course the loss of native popula-
ton was made up in some degree by
the presence here of men and women
who were born in other states. While
Tennessee contributed 2,513 to the
population of New York, there were in
this state 4,093 that were born in New
York. But while this state contrib
uted to the population of Illinois. that
state contributed TO the population or

state in comparison with Texas is tho
worst; while we had in our population
when the census was taken only G94
native Texans. Texas showed up with
130.389 persons born in Tennessee as

CORN BREAD I'M AMERICA.
Not So Common an Article of Food
Nowadays as It Was Fifty
Years Ago.

Our exports of corn to European
countries have risen from 240O0O0O
bushels in 1883 to about 0O,O0O0OO
bushels at the present time, and to-day
Belgium at least is using more Indian
corn per capita as food than the United
States, in which it is great native
cereal, says the Birmingham Age
Herald. In Belgium the bakeries put
about rs per cent. Of corn flour in the
bread they make, and such bread is read
lily sold lower than wheat or rye loayes
1t is considered more nutritious and
more easily digestible. In Germany the
favorite loaf consists of one-third corn
and two-thirds rye, and five-pound
loaf thus made is sold at saving Of
about rs per cent.
The change in the European bread
supply was started by c. j. Murphy, who
was sent abroad as commissioner by
the department of agriculture. He be-
gan the propaganda in 1883, and he
maintained it until the use of corn as
food was we'll started and even estab-
lished, and to-day Europeans are more
familiar with corn bread than Amer
leans themselves. Mr.. Murphy asserts
that both in Belgium and Ireland the
per capita consumption of corn as HUI
man food is higher than it is in the
United States. The value of the In
dian corn as food is not appreciated in
this country Years ago children
thrived and grew strong through the
consumption of johnny cake, ash cake,
hominy and pudding, but in recent
years cornmeal has fallen into CON-
parative disuse, although it is cheaper,
more wholesome and more digestible
than wheat -four. The preparation Of
corn for the table can be more varied
tAan that of wheat, and yet for some
reason Indian corn is not freely used.
Mr.. Murphy says the consumption Of
American corn in crowded Belgium is
higher than it is in this country. 1t is
| difficult to account for the dislike Of this
country for corn in its various forms.
We grow it, and we should not look
with an unfavorable eye on our own
excellent and abundant product.
The subject deserves careful attention,
with view to reinstatement of Amer
lean corn to the place it held on the
tables of our ancestors. Corn wss not
a rejected article of food century ago
and it was freely used as late as 81
years ago. We may have progressed
backward in this matter. Mr.. Murphy
| thinks we have.

thing, and dad Just was 80 flustered that
he couldn't say much, until the king
said something about the war between
the States, in which the southern states
achieved a victory. | don't know
whether the king said that Just to wake
dad up, cause dad had grand army but

finally he went off all in bunch Dad

war. | know, because l was in it, and
now the north and the south are United,
and can whip any country that wants to
fight a champion, and will go out and
get a reputation, by gosh!"
The king laughed at touching dad off,
and asked dad what was the matter Of
America and Great Britain getting to-
gether and making all nations know
when they had better keep their places,
and quit talking about fighting Dad
said he never would consent to America
and GreatBritain getting together tofight
any country until Ireland got justice and
was ready to come into camp on an
equality, and the king said he would an
swer for the Irishmen of Ireland if dad
would pledge the lrishmen of America,
cause we had about as many Irishmen
in America as he had in Ireland, and dad
said if the king would give Ireland what
she asked for, he would see that the
Irishmen in America would sing God
Save the King. l guess dad and the
king would have settled the Irish ques-
tic in about fifteen minutes, and signed
a treaty, only q servant brought in a
two-Quart bottle of champagne, and
dad and the king hadn't drank quart
| apiece before dad started to sing my
Country TITS of Thee, Sweet Land of Lib
ertee," and the king sang God Save the
King" and, by thunder, it was the same
tune, and tears came into dads eyes, and
the king took out his handkerchief and
wiped his nose, and bellered right out,
and the king rose and offered toast to
America and everybody in it, and they
swallered it, and dad said there was
enough juice left in the bottle for ons
more round, and he proposed a toast to
all the people of Great Britain including
the Irish, and the king who loved them,
and down she went, and they were stand
ing up. And told dad it was time to go.
Say, it was great, Uncle Ezra, and
wish you could have been there, anG
there had been another bottle. The only
thing that happened to mar the reunion
of dad and the king, was when we were
going out backwards, bowling. There
was little hassock back of me. and
kicked it back Of dad and when dads
heels struck it, he went over backwards
and struck on his golf pants, and dad
said: Ell emery, Fave broken my

with us, looked at us and laughed, as
though we were wild west show.
On the way to the kings residence it
was all could do to keep dad braced up
to go through the ordeal. He was brave
enough before we got the invitation,

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought I'M
der the jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question of
excessive charges is matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, so
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment of

London, Hengland,- Dear Uncle Ezra:
The worst is, over, and dad and l have
both touched a king, Not the way you
think, touching king for hand-out, or
borrowing his loose change, the way you
used to touch dad when you had to pay
for your goods, but just taking hold OF
his hand, and shaking ii in good old
United States fashion.
The American minister arranged it for
us. He told somebody that Peck's Bad
Boy and his dad were in town, and just
wanted to size up king and see how he
averaged up with United States politi-
clans, and the king set an hour for us
to call.
Well, you'd a dide to see dad fix up.
Everybody said, when we showed our
card at the hotel, notifying us that we
were expected at Marlboro House at such
time, that we would be expected to put
on plenty of dog. That is what an
American from Kalamazoo, who sells
breakfast food, said, and the hotel peo-
pie said We would be obliged to wear
Knee breeches, and dancing pumps, and
silk socks, and all that kind of rot, and
mems furnishers began to call upon us
to take our measure for clothes, but
when they told us how much it would
cost, dad kicked. He said he had golf
suit he had made in Oshkosh at the time
OF the tournament, that everyone in
Oshkosh said was out of sight, and was
good enough for any king and so he
rugged up in it, and hired a suit at
masquerade place, and dad hired a coat,
kind of red, to go with his golf pants, and
socks, and he wore canvas tennis shoes.
looked like picture out of a fourteenth
century book, but dad locked like a
clown in circus. One of dads calves
made him look as though he had milk
leg, cause the padding would not stay
around where the calf ought to be, but
worked around towards his shin We
went to Marlboro House in hanson cab,
and all the way there the driver kept
looking down from the hurricane deck,
through the scuttle hole, to see if we
were there yet. and he must have talked

knell, and he would have welcomed the
turning in of a fire alarm as sound that
meant life everlasting, beside that dole
full sound.
After we had marched about three
mile heats, and passed the chairs of the
noble grand and the senior warden, and
the exalted ruler, we came to bronze
door as big as the gate to cemetery,
and the grand conductor gave US
a few Instructions about how to
back out fifteen feet from the pres
ence of the king, when we were
dismissed, and then he turned us over
to little man who was a grand cham
bermaid, | understood the fellow to say.
The door opened, and we went in, and
dads misplaced calf was webbing as
though he had iocomotor attacks-ye.
Well, there were a dozen or so fellows
standing around, and they all had on
some kind of uniforms, with gold badges
on their breasts, and in the midst of
them was little, sawedoff fat fellow,
not taller than five feet six, but perfect
picture of the cigar advertisements Of
America fer cigar named after the

great big fellow that could take small
man by the collar and throw him over q
house, and felt hurt at the small size
of the king of Great Britain, but, gosh, he
is just like Yankee, when you get the
formality shook off.
We bowed and dad made courtesy
like an old woman, and the king came
forward with a smile that ought to be
initiated by every Englshman They
all initiate his clothes and his hats and
his shoes, but he seems to be the only
Englishman that smiles. May be it is
patented, and nobody has a right to smile
without paying royalty, but the good
natured smile Of King Edward is worth
more than stomach bitters, and the Eng
lish ought to be allowed to copy it.
There is no more solemn thing than q
party of Englishmen together in Ameri-
ca, unless it is party of spectators
that are short on wheat, or a gathering
of defeated politicians when the cleo
ton returns come in. But the king is as
