more freshness than the old title Of
Colt" which the late Speaker Reed
applied to the newcomer in congress.
Mr.. Williams in way branded the
new name upon new member by IN
operation almost as painful as the
branding of maverick with a red-hot
iron.
The occasion was in satirical
speech Mr.. Williams was making upon
the rules of the house in which he pre-
tended to speak for an element in the
majority side whom he termed "kids"
and blanket Indians" Young Mr..
Wharton of Chicago, under 30, youth
full looking, with fresh, clean shaven
cheeks, jaunty attire, smile Of assur-
ance and a heliotrope four-in-hand
necktie, did not like the apellation OF
''kids." He rose in his place and begged
to interrupt the gentleman from Mis-
sissippi and ask him whom he meant
by the kids" in the house.
This was John Sharp Williams op-
portunity. With deprecatory shrug
| Of the shoulders and in most mellif1u-
GUS accents as he bowed to the youth
from Chicago he declared: II should
have showed more reverence, know,
but the personal appearance of my in
terrogator sufficiently answers his
question"
The point was SO apparent; Mr..
Wharton was so kiddish in appearance
that the big audience caught on and
| how!cd with delight. The youth went
down, the first victim OF floor Skin
mish, easily bowlcd over by the
trained parliamentary knight who had
been accustomed to measure his wits
with those Of Reed, Dalzell, Grosvenor,
Hepburn and other lightning thinkers
on the floor of the house. So the new
members will have to accept their des-
ignation as kids" whether or not they
| like 1t. The blanket Indians" re-
ferred to by Mr.. Williams are the few
republicans who are at times disposed
| to kick over the traces.

each ear may be kept track of. One
of the simplest and most effective
methods, says the Farm and Home, is
to use boxes, such as are shown in the
cut, which are three feet. long, six
inches wide and eight inches deep.
The ears are set in this box in two
rows, but butt end down, and the box
set away in a dry place Of moderate
temperature. 1t is useful in sorting the
corn, since every ear stands out so
that it may be readily removed and
