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

a few instructions about how to

We bowed and dad made a courtesy

forward with a smile that ought to be
initiated by every Englishman. 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

ne couldn't say much, until the King
said something about the war between

Inc king laughed at touching dad off,
and asked dad what was the matter of
America and Great Britain getting to-

when they had better keep their places,

said he never would consent to America
and GreatBritain getting together to fight
any country until Ireland got justice and
was ready to come into camp on an
equality, and the king said he would an

would pledge the Irishmen of America,

there had been another bottle. The only
thing that happened to mar the reunion

CORN BREAD IN 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 $4,000 O0O
bushels in 1883 to about 100000, 900
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 a great native
cereal, says the Birmingham Age
Herald. In Belgium the bakeries put
about Is per cent. of corn flour in the
bread they make, and such bread is read
lily sold lower than wheat or rye loaves.
1t is considered more nutritious and
more easily digestible In Germany the
favorite loaf consists of one-third corn
and two-thirds rye, and a tive-pound
loaf thus made is sold at a saving o1
about Is per cent.
The change in the European bread
supply was started by c. J. Murphy who
was sent abroad as a 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 aorn as hu.
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 com.

about us, for every driver kept along
with us, looked at us and laughed, as
though we were a wild west show.
On the way to the kings residence it
was all could do o keep dad braced up
to go through the ordeal. He was brave
enough before we got the invitation,
and told what he was going to say to the
king. and you would think he wasn't
afraid of anybody, but when we got near
er to the house, and dad thought of 60.
ing up to the throne, and seeing king
in all his glory, surrounded by his hun
dreds of lords and dukes and things, a.
crown on his head, and an ermine cloak
trimmed with red velvet, and six-quart
milk pan full of diamonds, some of them
as big as chunk of alum, dad weakened,
and wanted TO give the whole thing up
and go to matinee, but wouldn't have
it. and told him if he didn't get into
the king row now that l would shake
him right there in London and start in
business as a Claude Duval highway
man and hold up stage coaches. and be
hung Oh Tyburn Tree, as used to read
about in my history of String
Jack ard other English highwaymen.
Dad didn't want to see the family dis
graced. so he let the cab man drive on.
but he said if we got out of this visit to
royalty alive, it was the last tommyrot
he would indulge me in.
Well, old man. it is like having an op-

ence Of the chloroform, and the doctor
shows you what they took out of YOU.

unless you grow another vermiform
appendix. We were driven into a sort
of Central park, and up to a building
that was big as lot of exposition build
ings, and the servants took us in charge
and walked us through long rooms COW
cred with pictures as big as side show
pictures at circus, but instead of snake
charmers and snakes, and wild men of
Borneo, and sword swallowers. the
kings pictures were about war, and
women without much clothes on from
the belt up. Gosh, but some of those Die
lures made YOU think you could hear the
roar Of battle and smell gun powder, and
dad acted as though he wanted to git
right down on the marble floor aad dig
rifle pit big enough to git into.

Against Rate Reduction


Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
Of J. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate in Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors, and unions of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
er, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such a reduc-
ton would work against the prosper
lty OF the state and lead to a reSuc-
ton In the number of railroad en-
ployes as we'll as of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that reduction as proposed
would result in few trains and poor
service.

London, H'england.-DearU Uncle Ezra:
The worst is over, and dad and l have
both touched king. Not the way you
think, touching king for a 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 it in good old
United States fashion.
The American minister arranged it for
lis. 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 dido 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
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 coat,
kind of red to go with his golf pants, and
socks, and he wore canvas tennis shoes.
l looked like picture out of fourteenth
century book, but dad looked like a.
clown in a circus. One of dads calves
made him look as though he had milk

That a genuine cure for Diabetes has been
discovered is the opinion of Mr., J. H.
Bailey, of this place. Speaking of the
matter Mr.. Bailey says:
Il believe Dodd's Kidney Pills is the
best remedy for Diabetes and the only one
that has ever been discovered that will
cure Diabetes"
Il have genuine case of Diabetes. l
have taken seven boxes of Dodds Kidney
Pills and am still taking them. They have
helped me so much that am now up and
able to work some. l believe that if /
had conformed strictly to Dia betes diet
would now have been completely cured"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured hun
dreds of cases of Diabetes and never once
failed. 1t is an old saying that what will
cure Diabetes will cure any form of Kid
ney Disease and that's just exactly what
Dodds Kidney Pills do. They cure all
kidney diseases from Backache to Bright 5
Disease.
