Champion Corn Eater.

A New York policeman claims
to hold the Eastern championship
as a corn eater. He has been
awarded the prize in the first Of
the seasons corn-eating contests
for devouring 61 except
the cobs-in three hours and five
minutes. The contest was part
of the festivities at political
picnic given by Tammany sa-
loon keeper. There were many
contestants for the prize and
more than 5000 ears were dis
posed of. The winner policeman
is William Ornstein, five feet ten
and one-half inches high, of
general girth and countenance.
He says that so far as he knows
his accomplishment has been
surpassed only once, and then by
a Kansas farm hand, who dis
posed of 68 ears in two hours
and fifty minutes. Ornstein an
nounced that he will challenge
the Kansas man for the worlds
record and $500 a side next
month.

"A Much Discussed Question.

Why are the trousers that sail
ors wear so wide at the bottom?
That question has been asked
over and over again, and strange
as it may seem, no one not a sail
or knows exactly how to answer
it. A seafaring man who is
pretty we'll informed in questions
of that kind says it grew out of
the old time custom of cutting
out sailors trousers on ship
board, when the cutter would
simply run the shears straight
down the cloth without making
any attempt to give the leg
shape. This was due partly to
haste and partly to indifference
to style. Another plausible ex-
PLANTATION is the following: Sail
ors frequently have to row
ashore and barefooted step into
the water and pull their boat
up on the beach. The width of
their trousers at the bottom al
lows them to roll their trousers
high to keep them dry.

In Loving Remembrance 0 {
Lille.

On Thursday evening July 28,
1910, death visited the home of
Mr.. w. R Williams and claimed
for its victim their second daugh-
ter, Lille. The deceased was a
victim of typhoid fever. She was
born ] une II, 1883, making her
% years l month and IL days
old. At the age of II she pro-
fessed her faith in Christ and
united with Mt. Pleasant Chris
tian church in which she lived a
consistent member until her
death.
In all her worries and disap-
pointments that are common in
this life she never grumbled or
complained. No nobler or more
aimable disposition can be pos
sessed. AS a daughter there
never was a more loving and
agreeable one, as sister there's
none better and as a Christian
her whole life was in conformity
to the teachings of our Savior.
Religious services were held Fri
day afternoon conducted by Ed.
]. F. Barger after which the re-
mains were laid to rest in the
family buying grounds.
The voice is still, we can not hear her
no more,
She is singing with the angels on the
golden shore,
We will weep not for Lille her spirit
hath fed,
Her body lies sleeping she is not dead.
Though lost here below she dwells
with the blessed,
With all the golden throngs in the
haven of rest.
From affiiction and trial her spirit set
free,
Hath winged it's flight homeward her
Savior to see.
We'll weep not for Lille she is happier
than we,
From this earth and its troubles she is
happy and free.
A Cousin. Cora.

Let us cons ider some of the
good that comes from turning
over the soil in the fallor winter.
In doing this you bring up and
place on the surface soluble mat
ters that have leached down too
low for the feeders to reach, and
you cover in the soil the weeds,
grass and stubble of the gather
ed crops, where they will under
go decomposition, and be in the
right place for the rootlets to
feed upon. The tilth is deepen
ed also, and if some. of the CLAW
subsoil is thrown on the top it
becomes much more exposed to
the action of carbopic acid and
oxygen, and renders it's particles
so fin that solvents may act up
on them much more readily"
Such are some of the leading
principles involved in plowing.

Tomato and egg plants may be
grown for early maturity by set
ting the seed in four-inch pots.
Another method is to use straw
berry boxes, minus bottoms, set
on a layer of coal ashes. The
boxes should be set close and the
earth fairly well firmed before
planting the seed. If premium
plants are wanted, twelve to
fourteen inches high and in bloom
by planting time, SOW the seed
in three-incher pots right now
and later shift to the six-inch
size If the plants are given suf-
ficient room for normal growth,
that is all that is necessary.

The Boys Shadow.

Recently the mother of boy
who is about IL years of age,
made complaint before a Judge
that her son was unruly and she
feared he was associating with
company that in the end would
bring disgrace to him and her.
The judge told the son to step
near him. and in a pleasant tone
of voice said pointing to the par
ent, boy, there is the only true
friend you have: obey her. Let
me impress this on your mind:
think of it. Whatever shadow
you cast in life will follow you as
long as you live and always keep
up to you. That is your reputa-
tion. 1t is always in sight and
just your size exactly, and how
proud and happy it will make
your fond mother if you will stop
going with bad youths and stand
in such a position in the sunlight
of heaven that your shadow will
always be on the side of honesty
and respectabllity. Go home this
time with your mother, turn over
a new leaf and prevent the law
from sending you to the reform
school" Golden words. No
more pertinent truth was ever
more aptly spoken; no wiser
counsel ever proffered by mortal
lips. Your reputation in your
community is your shadow. 1t is
exactly your size and you can
never get away from it; though
you may flee a thousand miles of
a cloudy day, the moment you
show your self in public your
shadow is at your side. Your
habits and models of thought
have left their imprint upon your
features, unconsciously control
ing your speech and action, and
dissemble as much as you may
are constantly signaling from be-
hind the mask that you are not
what you pretend to be.

Expensive Toys.

1t is matter of common know
ledge among those who have
raised a family of children that
the doll most tenderly loved by
the little girl is the one mother
made with the homely material,
stuffed with cotton or sawdust
and dressed in the plainest fash
ion. When it has been carried
around, fondled and nursed by
the child until it is almost un-
recognizably soiled, it still re-
tains the warmest place in the
child's affections. She will leave
the handsomest and expensive
store bought article, beautifully
dressed in silks and ribbons, for
the older friend, and oftentimes
she may be found asleep with
the dear, dirty and dilapidated
dollie fast clasped in her sweet
arms. Why is this? DIR. G. H.
Morrison has given a new and
quite plausible explanation Of
this phenomenon, if we may so
term it. The faculty of imagi-
nation is very largely developed
in children and only those things
which engage this faculty and
give ample scope for its illusory
"makebelieves" will hold, with
intensity. the attention of the
child and command its continued
reverence. The store-bought doll,
even though it be diminutive, is
modelled too closely after the
reality to give room for the imag-
mary genius of the child. It's
very perfection of imitation ex-
cludes the exercise of the imagi-
nation and makes it real, and
hence it turns from the apparent
reality to the vague symbol that
furnishes native food for that
attribute of mind through which
it derives its chiefest delight.
We live with these dear little
ones all our lives, drawing from
their lives the patience, tender
ness and sympathy which
strengthen and sweeten our own,
and never more than half under
stand them because we do not
live in their world.

The influence of the moon has

ages past. 1t has such power
full attraction for the waters of
the ocean at certain phases as to
produce the tides, might it not
be potent in other respects? And
as it is clearly established that
the direct rays of the sun have
such powerful effect on vegeta-
ton, as that some plants cease
to grow and die without them,
not the reflected light of the
moon have a similar, though
modified effect?"

A New Task for Burbank.

According to an item which
appeared in an Eastern paper
recently, it has been suggested
that Luther Burbank, the wizard
of plant life, since he has proved
that he can do almost anything
with plants and flowers, might
devote his energies to producing
a bachelors button that can be
sewed on so that it won't come
off, and sage brush fo go with
the coXcomb. But there are al
so some people who are urging
Burbank to give them canta-
lope without hole in the mid
die, raspberries and blackberries
without seeds, and odorless
onions.
Those who have become disaf-
fected with the new-fangled
breakfast cerals want him to de-
visa a mushroom that will yield
superior grade of mush, and
they hope by crossing lemons
and watermelons a plant may be
evolved that will contain lemon
ade, just as some varieties of
cactus are reservoirs of water.
They fully expect that by graft
ing apples on on pine trees he
can produce pineapples, and they
look to him with confidence to
get prunes by properly pruning
the hedges. But while every
body wishes Burbank would give
them the best kind of thyme,
some people wish it longer and
others want it shorter. Even
some of the disaffected ones 90
so far as to claim that Burbank
is a first-class CRATER.

Home Department in Sunday Scho ol

~
Kewis, at 5th Sunday school con-
vention held at Pleasant Ridge
church in Green County Ky,
July 81, 1910.
One of the modern Sunday
School methods for the ingather-
ing into our Sunday schools, is
the Home Department. This
work if rightly conducted involves
very little cost and material, and
often doubles both membership
and spiritual powers of the
school. 1t consists in the extern
tion of pledge lesson study to
"shut ins and shut OUTS"
To make it a success there are
only five requisites to be met.
First a corps of visitors, jealous
for the cause, second Home study
helps, third record book, fourth
pledge cards, fifth collection en-
velopes.
In nearly every household
there is one or more persons who
rarely, if ever, leave home and
If we can by securing pledge
from them to study the home
helps a half hour per week, get
them interested in the Sunday
school work. / believe we have
that much in favor of the home
study of those who attend Sun
day school. Also when one be-
comes interested in Gods work,
they will want instruction and
will begin to discuss and ques-
tion about the subjects they
study and will thus bring the
lessons for the Sabbath before
the family, and in many in
stances get them interested in
the lessons where they would
not have been if this shut in had
not taken the Home Department
! pledge. Again all of those who
remain away from Sunday school
may become so interested in the
lessons that they may finally put
forth an effort and become a
member of the Sunday school
proper. If this member is the
mother of the family will she not
be much more apt to require
study of the lessons from child
ren than if she had not taken
that pledge? Then if there are
fifty families represented in our
Sunday school and we by organ
izing a home department, enlist
fifty more persons in the study
of the Bible, especially with the
literature explaining the pass
ages, is that not worth the
energy and expense of doing so?
Then there are in all communi-
ties a few families under the
head of shut-outs. AS they have
by circumstances. probably by
misfortune, been denied the
privileges of.the Sunday school,
ought not we carry the Gospel
of good tidings within their
doors.
The great commission did not
stop at Jerusalem, nor yet Ju-
dea nor Samaria but it extended
to the uttermost parts of the
earth.
Going back to the shutins, who
are they? Are they not often the
spiritual power of the household?
Should we not then desire and
solicit their prayers in behalf of
our school and its work.
