had not been back there for nearly 20
years He expressed his surprise at the
many changes in the town and his evil
dent enioym ent at meeting many boy

in what he said in favor of Decatur
The corn special at Decatur, notice of
which appeared in these columns, was
all that was expected both in attendance
and interest manifested. The train was
composed of three coaches and a bag
gage car, the coaches being utilized as
lecture rooms and the baggage car devot-
ed to an exhibit of corn in various stages
of growth After listening to a twenty
minutes lecture the audience 10 each
car was invited into the baggage car
where they were shown samples of
growth from many ears of corn, ker-
nal being taken from each and planted
in a square. This enabled the visitor to
note the growth and determine in a Ger.
tain way the value of the kernel as seed.
This object lesson was very instructive,

this corn special is handled, aud the rail
road should be commended for their
generosity in drawing this train free.
Otherwise it would have been impossi-
BILE for the college to have covered any
thing like the territory they were able
to. The people of Decatur furnished
the largest audience the special had
been greeted with and the promoters
were greatly pleased with their evident
interest.

Workman Asleep in Window Twelve
Stories from the Ground.


The other day in New York, Morris
Spencer, weary of window cleaning,
calmly sat down and fell asleep on
the narrow ledge of the twelfth story
of a Wall street sky scraper, Before
closing his eyes, he dropped one leg
carelessly over the edge of the ledge
and leaned his head back against the
window frame; then he slipped of
into dreamland.
For three hours the window cleaner
slept on his narrow, lofty bed, uncon.
scious of peril. A bad dream-a sud-
den start-and off he would have tum-
bled, TO be dashed to destruction on
the granite pavement 1875 feet below.
The ledge was only two feet wide
man in an office on the twelfth
story of the building across the street
saw Spencer. He telephoned 10 the
ground floor for Policeman Ross OF
the traffic squad, who was passing.
The latter made his way to the win
dow through which Spencer had pass
ed to reach the ledge, grasped his arm
and shook it gently.
Spencer awoke at the first shake,
got up silently like a cat, crawled in
side to safety and without a word
went away to clean more windows A
crowd watched the rescue" and
cheered.

Finally someone started a discussion

revive and continue TO live just as If
there had never been any ice. An.

a general argument followed
One fellow said that that was the
way fish spent the winter months, reg
ularly Like snakes, he said, they re-
manned in a comatose condition all
winter and when the ice melted in
the springtime they were just as
frisky as if summer had continued all
winter. The discussion became very
heated and bets amounting 10 several
hundred dollars were laid on both
sides OF the question at issue. The
cake of ice was split and the fish
placed in a tub OF lukewarm water.
