Refined Torture.

The wife of a well known official in
Washington holds some novel ideas
with reference to the punishment of re-
fractory children Physical chastise-
ment is most repugnant to this Iady's
mind, but she has evolved unique
system that has proved most success
full.
On one occasion a friend was visiting
her when one of the boys had surrepti-
tiously appropriated an orange belong
ing to his younger brother. The mis-
demeanor was discovered before the
culprit had disposed of his spoil; so the
two youngsters were summoned to the
judgment seat.
James, was the stern command of
the mother. take this seat; and you
Thomas. that one. Now. Thomas, give
James the orange you have stolen from
him."
When the lads had done as they were
ordered, the mother added:
James, want you to take as long
as possible to eat that orange You,
Thomas, are to sit there and watch him
eat it. Under no circumstances are
you to leave the oom.''-Harper's
Weekly.

ANOTHER REVOLT.

We have not heard what the full re-
suit of the Republican state conven-

nominated by reclamation. The ma

editor of the Times is opposed to po-

are thai a railroad ticket will be nor1!-

this should-1rOye true It would not be
very bad thing FOR. the state If the
entire outfit was beaten in November.
We believe in smashing all political
machines, and the time or place should
make little difference with the average
voter If such action will benefit the

delegation divided. Two voted with
the machine and for the railroads and
four for the people and a square dea.

The Treasllre in one Grain Of conn

Last year was a big corn year in Ne
braska. On 6,472,4s7 acres the yield
was 243,713.244 bushels or an average
of more than 81 K bushels to the acre.
But the average during the past ten
years has been only about thirty bush
els. Moreover, it is a reasona bic hope
that with the proper attention to the
single grain of corn, the crop Of the
state should within another ten years
average sixty bushels to the acre. In
other words. the state through the
young professors, reasona bly, hopes to
people by something like eighty or
ninety million dollars. Such is the
treasure that may terminate from a
grain of corn in Nebraska alone=The

Henry Allen did pretty well at the

did Pretty well two years ago; it took
lot of courage TO get up In a con-
vention. as Henry Allen did two years
ago, and denounce his enemy. The
convention then was dominated by his
enemies. ISut it took infinitely more
manhood and more courage, and more
essential horesty to get up in a con-
vention and oppose his friends. in a
convention dominated by his friends.
It marks Henry Allen as one Of the
