accurate knowledge concerning her
is difficult in short time. Con
sequently McClure's long and
thorough preparation of It's series
will give us for the first time true
history and account of her and her
cult.
Carl Schurz's "reminiscences Of a
long life will be continued. AS in
dication of the time lines of these
"reminiscences and the reawakened
national interest in Carl Schurz to
which they have contributed, are the
great Carl Schurz Memorial Meet
ings held recently in the cities, and
the Memorial Movement started
which proposes to raise S250,000,
and to erect Carl Schurz Memorial
as a tribute to his great service to
the progress of our country.
William Allen White, Samuel
Hopkins Adams, Burton j.. Hender-
lick and Geo. Kibbe Turner will also
contribute to McClure's powerful
articles on present day topics, con-
ditions and men of national interest.
These writer's are big men and the
work of each one aside from It's
literary achievement is compelling,
wholesome factor in the regeneration
which these United States are now
undergoing.
George KEENAN, who won his
spurs by his remarkable series OH
Siberia and Russia's Exile System
has been added to McClure's staff.
The results of his recent invesri-
cations and work will appear at an
early date.
Ellen Terry contributes an esti
mate history Of the English drama
of our day. This writing teens
with anecdotes and incidents from
the lives of great actors whom she
knew intimately. From these droll,
amusing and interesting happen
ings we can understand why these
men and women of genius became
loved and famous.
For the story readers products
of ali McClure's fiction favorites will
appear and large number of writer's
who have chit recently. Such well
known names as Joseph Conrad,
Mary Stewart Cutting Perceval
Gibbon, Viola Rosebo1o, o., Henry
Myra Kelly, Rex Beach, Mrs. Wilson
Woodrow and Helen R. Martin give
promise of as good stories of various
sorts as any reader could wish.
illustrators Of note and merit will
also contribute their share and add
to the authors productions and en-
nance the writing and stories by
scores of pictures and illustrations
in every issue. 5l-wl

: An old sailor was being examined in
an assault case by cute young law

GardinS matter of time.
You had no watch, and vet you are
positive that the defendant was only

able to estimate ten minutes of time

The old salt nodded and the lawyer

passed. and the lawyer, with watch in

mission that time was up. The sailor
paid no heed and exactly at the end
OF the ten minutes shouted, times

round confused at the courts loud

Popcorn-Where it Comes From and
Where it Goes.

[ The largest harvest of popcorn
ever grown in Iowa has been gather
ed in the last three weeks, and the
farmers Of the popcorn belt will add
100000 to their bank accounts
from this crop alone.
1t is not generally known perhaps,
that fully one-half of the popping
variety of corn raised in the United
States is grown within radius Of
fifteen miles of Odebolt, Iowa, which
is the largest initial popcorn market
in the world. 1t is estimated that
the pickers who have been gathering
the hinty nubbins in the fields Of
Sac and Ida counties will market
100000 pounds at that place this
fall. If all this corn were popped
before shippingit would make 1000
trainloads Of twenty cars each, or
one solid train which would reach
from Des Moiaes to Sioux City.
AS a thousand acres will easily
produce enough corn to supply the
world with hot. buttered popcorn,
the question naturally arises: Where
does it all go? The answer is: Break
fast foods. Half of -digested break
fast food on the market is composed
entirely or in part of the corn that
pops. And it is the poorer grade of
popcorn that is used for their manu-
facture, at that. Makers of break
fast food found some years ago that
the hard, hinty corn, which contains
very little starch, and no waste, was
the best possible ingredient for their
cereals. The wonderful growth of
the breakfast food habit has kept
the price of popcorn firm and the
steadily increasing yield is taken up
without lowering the price of the
corn. Did you ever notice that your
favorite breakfast food tasted like
popcorn? No? Well, the next time
you eat it remember the millions of
pounds of popcorn that are trans
formed into breakfast foods and you
will Immediately detect the taste of
the "hot buttered." Then too, the
makers of pancake flour discovered
that popcorn grinds up into a fine,
lutricious -four with minimum waste,
and they have used it for their mix
lures for number of years. Ground
popcorn also enters into the cheaper
grades Of candy. Indeed, its uses
are manifold and increasing year by
year. 1t is not likely that there
will overproduction for many years
and the farmers of the popcorn belt
will continue to add to their bank
accounts from the proceeds of it's
culture.-Nashua Reporter.

Shopping.

Shopping is form of cruelty in
dulged bv married ladies towards
their husbands. 1t is incipient in
young girls, reaches an active con-
dition in brides, and arrives at its
most virulent stage between the
tenth an d twenty-tifth year of
married life. A small, delicate,
slight, nervous, sensitive woman
who would faint away at an empty
mouse trap, will go throgh the
shopping district in from two to
seven hours, and come out refreshed
and sustained by an unfaltering
trust, ifher husbands credit is good,
while that gentleman at the end of
forty-fve minutes has to be carried
home on a stretcher. Some women
are born shoppers, others achieve it,
but not one Of them has it thrust up-
on her.
Shopping is extensively practiced
on week days, beginning on Monday
with rush and ending on Saturday
in time for the opera. 1t promotes
industry. Without it married men
would have time to rest.-The
January Delineator.

cola storage In Irish Boys,

For long it puzzled me to know what
the poachers did with the birds they
shot in July. There is no cold storage
in the north Of Ireland, but they have
discovered an excellent substitute. The
birds are buried four or five feet deep
in dry peat, and, l am told, come
out perfectly fresh at the end of two
or three weeks. When one remembers
the bog butter dug out of the peat boys
in comparatively fresh state after
being buried for probably 200 or 800
years, it is not difficult to believe that
grouse might keep, under the same cir
cumstances, for two or three weeks

lAOutn'S C0mpanlOn.)
If one who has caught cold will
take thought he will often find that
he has prepared himself for the in
lection by some tax on his physical
condition some extra work which
has depressed his bodily powers,
some worry which has preyed on his
mind, some loss Of sleep, some undue
exposure to atmospheric changes or
some dietary indiscretion. For indis-
Greet eating is one Of the most proli-
flc and yet the least recognized of all
the predisposing causes Of cold.
The tramp may suffer from frost bite
from pneumonia, or from consump-
ton, but unless the farmers wives
along his route have been unusually
generous he seldom has cold in his
haad.

of his land to Owen King, the price
being $50 per acre. This might be
considered a pretty fair price for
land without building improvements

makes him a valuable possession. Mr..
Perley says that he is now stripped
