CORN.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat: With.
. tine sense Of what they owed to ma
tlre, . feeling that shows the kinship
OF men from the first, the Indians OF
America made the green corn dance
their chief celebration of the year
This plant Of wondrous yigor and
swift growth, with its lavish yield OF
life giving and life preserving food,
was the basis of the red mans social
existence, as it WAS tie inainstay of
the white pioneers as they yentured
with their families into the wilderness.
A kernel dropped into the soil III
April was heavy with ripened ears in
October, ready to be stored for the
days when the earth would be but a
frozen place with famine lurking near.
80 the Indians gathered and danced
when roasting ears came to furnish
the banquet as well as a pledge
against want in the barren months of
winter and early spring. Every tribe
knew that corn was the most whole
some Of food, whether turned in the
milky stage into the kettle for succo-
fash or parched for the hunter, for
whom a handful meant days
strength and physical comfort. Corn
has never been plant misunderstood,
though botanists SO far have failed to
find it growing wild. Some of them
think they have discovered the ances-
trail form in a Central American grass
that ripens its kernels on top. Let
them be granted a Scotch verdict and
time for further proof.
To the people of the United States
corn is one of the prodigious facts Of
national wealth and of special endow-
ment. No other country raises maize
ON anything like the same scale and
no other has grasped its possibilities.
Nor have we unfolded all thatscorn is
good for, though it is credited with
nearly a hundred derivatives. Not
many years ago corn was often so
cheap that farmers of the west felt
that it could scarcely be called a cash
article. Missionaries were sent to
Europe to prove that ground maize
was excellent food, and to overcome
the prejudice shown even by sufferers
In the Irish famine when offered what
they scornfully called the yally
maybe. No mission work is needed
now. Corn has steadily advanced
until 1t is almost abreast of wheat in
price. Many industries need corn as
their raw material to be turned into
articlesof higher value. All parts of.
the plant have expanded in practical
value. And the yield has gone on in
creasing until thirty bushelssis raised
for every man, woman and child in
the United States. The cropis worth
81 900 900 900 more than it brought a
dozen years ago. When Americans
speak of hard times they are apt to
overlook the billion items and gauge
the situation by some of the minor
facts.

Building Character.

Substantial houses have been built
iii a day, on wager, but character
can not be built that way. 1t is a
virtue of slow growth, made up like
the coral islands of little daily accre-
tions.1 Ore $ reputation is the estl-
mate of the neighbors, but a man $
character is what he really is. There
is no finer field N the world for the
development of character than on the
farm. That is why SO many OF the
men who have done great work for
their country and their time, have
been country bred.

Fred BIickWedeI Expired Sud-
denly Sunday Morning of
Heart Disease.
| HE WAS WELL KNOWN.
HIS PROVERBIAL GOOD NATURE
MADE HIM HOSTS OF FRIENDS
THROUGHOUT THE CITY-SAW
SERVICE IN GERMAN ARMY.

Fred Blickwcdel, one of the best
known German residents of the city,
passed away at his home sunday morn
ing at . o'clock as a result Of heart
disease. from which it is alleged, he
suffered with since several years ago.
when, as member of the Richmond
police force, he received terrible
beating at the hands of Billy FriCk and
John ConnaughtOn, who he was at
tempting to arrest. In this fight Blick-
wedel was badly injured and rendered
unfit for service for some time
For several years Blickwedel had
been a wagon driver for the Minck
Brewing company, and had hosts of
friends throughout the city. His
good nature was prOvcrbial and. not
Withstanding the numerous stories of
his experiences, most of them fiction
airy. related by his friends, Blickwcdel
never lost his temper and would laugh
at them as heartily as any one else
even when the story was told of how
he was alleged to have taken his own
it in the pound.
Blickwedel worked Saturday night
until 10 o'clock and a short time later
he retired, apparently enjoying good
health. Sunday morning Mrs. Blick-
wedel awOke her husband and asked
him if he did not want to go to church.
He told her that he did not, as his in
jured foot was paining him. Two
hours later. Mrs. BlicIwedel returned
to his bedroom and was Mortified to
find him dead in bed. Acting Coroner
Wampler was summoned and he pro-
nounced Blickwedel's death due from
natural causes.
Fred Blckwedel saw active service
in the German, army and was a mem
ber of the local German Military soci-
ETY.. He came to Richmond in 1882,
and when the metropolitan police law
went into effect he was appointed to
the force, serving four years. Mr..
BlickWedel was an active member of
St Johns Lutheran church and of the
benevolent society of that church. He
was brother to Adolph .Blickwedel,
former councilman from the fourth
ward. Wednesday afternoon at
o'clock. funeral services will be held
at the home, go South Ninth street
and al 8 o'clock there will be services
at St. Johns Lutheran church, the
Rev. A. ]. Feeger officiating. Burial
at Lutherania.

CLYDE BECK IS
IN POOR HEALTH
MAY Not Teach at NobIeSViIle
Next Year.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beck have re-
turned from a visit TO their son Clyde,
who is a member of the faculty of the
nigh school at NOblesville. The lat
ter is in poor health as the result of
the nervous strain he has undergone
during the school year His duties
have necessitated his hearing seven
language recitations daily. Beside this
work in the class room he has had
charge of the athletics and the strain
has told on his health. He will not
solicit reappointment unless the No
blesvile school board will be willing
to grant a temporary leave of alb
SenCe.
While student at Earlham college
a few years ago young Beck fell in
the gymnasium and sustained injurie
10 his back and hip which have been
a source of recurrent trouble. His
health has been impaired and two
years ago he was confined to his bed
for several weeks. He will spend
the summer months in a period OF
rest and reCuDeratiOn.

suit for legal separation from Pleas
ant B. Hodson. II seems as if tine de-
fendant has belied his name. The
plaintiff alleges he told her 10 take
her goods and go" This she did and
now brings suit on the ground of cruel
and inhuman treatment and failure to
provide. The parties are residents OF
Cambridge City.
Maggie Foster has entered suit for
divorce from John Foster. She claims
the defendant has deserted her and al
so fails to provide. The defendant
waived personal summons in the case
