Mr.. Fairbanks made a favorable
impression with his conservative
speech. MIR. Aliens speech was
not SO well received. While il
contained some wit and humor, he
also was too strenuous in his de
nunciation of opposite partisans.
These cold nights and fro sty
mornings are telling us to put up
stoves and get in our winter coal
and wood. One class, especially,
feel the Inconvenience of not hav-
ing stoves up aud warm parlOrs,
and that class is composed of tn
lads and lassies that love to make
their Sunday visits lengthen out to
the wee sma' hours" of night.
One young lady was compelled to
write her friend to please delay his
visit until the parlor stove was in
running order. This young lady
is One'of Laddonia's most accom-.
plished aud energetic ones, and we
presume all will be in readiness in
a few days.

returned home.
Lee Denmark, who has been

came home Sunday. We presume
he got homesick.

She has been in poor health for
some time and thought Colorado
would prove beneficial to her. The
Doctor met her in Mexico, and
they will return to their home in
Wentzville in few days.
Misses Lizzie and Bess Furger-

Their sister, Mrs. Pearl Hit of

Il. Humphry of Vandalia was

Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Hale and

be beneficial.

Looking for Diamonds.

The United States geological survey
has its tentacles out for diamonds, ex-
pecting to find them in the black sands
that were examined for gold at the
Portland fair, and also in the river
beds Of California. Never before in
the history of the United States has
there been such a demand for dia-
monds as there was in 1905, says the
survey report. Large quantities were
imported, but the country produced
none. In 1903 it produced diamonds to
the value of $50; in 1901, 500; in
1900, $3.50, and in 1889, 5000. Dia-
monds have been discovered in the
United States in four different re-
gions, but their actual place of origin
is in every case unknown. All have
been found in loose and superficial de-
posits. and all accidentally. 1t is not
at all improbable, however, that some
day the original sources of this queen
of gems may be discovered, says
George F. Kunz, the expert who COW

His father was one of the prominent
men of Brooklyn, and when he died
three years ago he left the youngster
more than a million dollars in cash.
He became known as the "angel Of
.Coney Island" You may imagine
what that means. No one went thirsty

woman who now bears his name after

worth Of wine was opened. He heapedS
rare jewels upon her and squandered,

high, low, or mean to bar this imperi.
Gus queen DR.. j. G. Rossmore, a
young pracsicing physician of Atlanta,
Ca, now patron at the Holland

sponsible in many cases for men and
women who stoop and turn their toes
inward. Said he: 1.-THE game, which
is played in Atlanta probably more
than in any other part of the United
States, makes its devotees pigeon-toed,
for there are strokes, as you know,
that can only be well delivered when
the toes point in. Cause and effect fol-

Tns Spelling o. Sweet Corn.

? Who that has enjoyed the delights
Of peas. beans and sweet corn, picked
In the morning with the dews Of the
summer night still upon them and
cooked while you wait" will not
agree with the Tip of the Tongue Man
in The New York Press. who Is speak
Ing Of the difference between really
fresh vegetables and those which have
been gathered even recently? This
is what Zip says: My Jersey farmer
tells why the green corn we get in the
market here tastes like field corn.
5"The sweet corn loses It's sweetness
before it reaches the table because OF
the condition in which it has to be
brought to the Market" writes my
farmer. 1T comes in large truck
loads, piled high and packed down.
Stand in the market at night when
the wagons from the farms come in.
If you take the cover off a load you
will see sort of steam rising from 1t.
That is the sweetness going up" I
find that my farmer is right. Sweet
corn, beans and peas are vegetables
that will not bear a prolonged wait
between the field and the pot Neither
Delmonico, nor Sherry can furnish
such peas as the humble man may
pick fresh from his own little patch
In the morning-the ideal time to
pick vegetables. It Is the same with
corn. I have raised many bushels OF
it, but confess I never took an ear to
market. A friend of mine who has
done so assured me that If you lift
the cover from load of green corn
after it has arrived In the city and
thrust your hand in your hand will be
made uncolnfortably hot. The process
of fermentation seems to have set in
already. It seems to me a little in
genuity and experiment would give us
better corn in the market-if not real
sweet corn. at least something which
would not resemble field corn so close
ly that man would have to investi-
gate it's history to know what he was
eating.
