The Elm Incident.

Washington was taking formal com
mand OF the Continental Army At Cam
bridge He crooked his arm, placed
his elbow against the historic elm and
rested his head on his hand Then he
addressed the i'll assorted gathering OF
patriots. In the midst Of his remarks
his elbow suddenly glided from the
tree and Washington completely lost
his equilibrium.
"Why didn't you inform me- said
the great general with dignity, "lha'

Missouri Boys Corn Growing Contest.

A mammoth boys corn growing con-
test is being organized among the boys
OF Missouri for 1907. 1t is being con-
Quoted by the Missouri Corn Growers
Association in cooperation with tho
State Board OF Agriculture and the
Agricultural College at Columbia, and
promises to be Of great interest to every
Missouri boy who has an opportunity
to grow some corn during the coming
year. A long list OF prizes will be
offered at the State Corn Show in
January for which every boy in the
contest can compete. There arc no
fees, no difficult requirements, and
every Missouri boy is eligible. Iu ad-
dition TO the prizes at the State Show
large number OF local and county
contests have been arranged at which
local banks and merchants are Offering
prizes. One of these contests should
be organized in every community whore
corn is the important crop.
There will be two classes OF boys in
this contest, the young mems class or
those over lj years and under 20, and
the boys class or those 10 years old
and under. The amount OF corn to be
grown in the young mems class is at
least one acre and in the boys class
oue-iOurth acre. Corn for planting
should he secured in the neigh hborhood
II possible so that it will be we'll
adapted to the soil and climate.
Where good corn cannot be secured,
however, the agricultural college will
supply corn Of good quality to those who
wish it. Several prominent corn
breeders have also offered to give corn
for this purpose.
All boys wishing to enter this con,
test or those wishing further part

Elephants and mastodons lived in
Missouri after the territory was Occu'
pied by man. Bones and teeth OF these
animals have been found in ancient bogs
in many places in south and in north
Missouri. One of the famous mastodon
skeletons OF Europe was found in Benton
county, where it had lain for hundreds
of years in the preserving liquid OF a
bog. The land surface is not place
where organic remains are preserved.
Very few Of the remains found in an or
dinary museum are remains OF land an.

probably in great abundance, through
great part of geological time, yet few
have been preserved because they we're
not buried in the aecumulations contin-
ualy going on IN the sea bottom, but
were doomed to decay on the land,
where degrading processes rather than
accumulating processes are at work.
The upper part of the geological rec
ord-th later part--excepting the last
chapter or two, are missing from the
Missouri account. In Kansas the upper
part is much more complete and it tells
an interesting story. The remains o

humor is priceless boon. IL is the

hard shedding. a man who can smile
at misfortune and the mistakes he has
made Ia life, and has the courage to
correct them and work mantully 10
make amends, has that in him which
deserves success in the end. Ill humor
sulks in it's tent The sun never shines
bright enough TO drive away the clouds
of gloom which continually surround
it. 1t has snap and snarl for any
who may attempt TO point out better
way or offer Il crumb OF comfort in case
of real need. Good humOr rises to The
occasion and nnccts misfortune with I;
smile, however much the heart may be
paiued, forgetting its own heart pains
by lending II helping hand to those
