Rows of Corn on a Cob.

George Hanson Of this city is exhibit
ing an ear of corn grown on his farm
that is attracting a great deal of atten-
ton. due to the fact that the ear has
an odd number of rows of grain-twenty-
three in all. Several Of the oldest farm
ers in the neighborhood were skeptical
of the story until they were shown the
ear.
Rows of corn grow on the cob in even
numbers. and enc with an odd number
is considered an almost unheard Of freak.
The ear in question is, however, well de-
veloped, and the rows are straight and
even Mr.. Hanson discovered it while
sorting corn for seed.
There is an old story to the effect that
once. in antebellum days, an old south
ern slave owner promised freedom to the
first negro who would find an ear of
corn bearing an odd number of rows.
Among the slaves was a young darby
who had a thought which he kept all to
himself. but when the corn was in the
roasting ear he went to the field and,
stripping back the husk from an ear,
he cut away one of the rows of grain
with a sharp knife. By the time the
corn had reached it's maturity the wound
made by the knife had been entirely OBJ
liberated, and the ear showed an odd
number of rows of grains. The young
slave was accordingly given his freedom,
and his cunning was not discovered IN
til he had gotten safely away.-Arcola

CHINESE BOYCOTT
GETS INTO FRISCO.
Sailors on Board Celestial Liner Refuse
to Buy American Goods as Has
Been Their Custom.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-The
anti-American boycott has reached this
port. It is the custom Of the Pacific
Mail ompany to allow peddlers and 9TH
er small dealers on board their China
liners during the luncheon hour for the
convenience Of the Chinese sailors, fire
men, cooks and walters, who by rea son
of the exclusion act may not do their
shopping ashore When the Manchuria
locked on Tuesday last notices in Chi
nese were tackled up all over the ship.
These notices called the attention OF the
Manchuria's crew to the existence OF a
boycott against American goods and for
babe them to buy wares offered for sale
on the liners desks during her stay in
this American port. Dealers have aban-
doned their efforts to trade with them.
