In its review of Pierre de vassiere's
book lie Mort du Roi' the Neueste
Nachrichten dwells upon the account
Of the last seven minutes Of Louis
XVI. rs described in the book. These
were between 1915. when the king ar
rived ut the foot Of the SuillOtine, and
1922, when a shot fired Mt the end of
the Champs Elysees, no one knows by
whom. gave notice that the head had
fallen" The review calls attention to
the statement by the author that the
kings hands had been piniOned be-
hind him by the executioner while
Louis was putting on the coat which
he was to wear at the end and that
when he reached the platform Of the
instrument Of death he rushed unas-
sisted to the upright farthest from the
stairway. "slapping the face of one OF
the assistant executioners who tried to
stop him" With hands fastened at his
back. the reviewer asks. How did the
doomed monarch manage to perform
the operation?'

THE PRIZE FIGHT.

Believe what one may about the
battle of the century" and the prize
fighting game in general the fact
remains that the gayety Of nations
has been perceptibly added to. The
complete seriousness with which the
gentlemen of the sport fraternity have
spoken of the fight as Ringing the
supremacy Of the white race is . con.
tribution to essential humor not to be
lightly priced.
One has gotten a peep. too, into
mental processes Of a considerable
proportion of the population. Most
of these manifestations are hopeful.
Some of them are not. It is wholly
encouraging, for example, that, what
ever may be the moral height in other
respects of the Eight game" and Of
those who support it, it is based on
individual squsreness. Nothing kills

And gameness is honored. In casting
up the accounts let not those qualities
be overlooked. They have good cheer
in them.
How much meaning there is in the
individually widespread interest in such
events rs the Jeffries johnson fight
presents q question. The conclusion
that this interest proves thst the fight
ing itself is approved Of seems to be
somewhat rashly jumped to. 1t is
probable that almost any rightfally
forbidden thing would evoke great
interest if the rules of society we're for
once in allegiance and the event were
heralded broadly. Yet people would
not approve. If . duel to the death
with swords were to be fought a dis.
approving public would await the
happening and follow it with eager
concern. At the same time, there is q
wholesomely primeval interest in con.
tests Of strength, endurance and grit
which gives a basis Of fact for the
hasty conclusion.
People seem to be reaching for q
plane for the pugilistic side Of athletics
which will satisfy this worthy pride in
fundamental virtues and yet moi
encourage the degrading accompani'
ments of such exhibitions. Perhaps
they will reach it. Perhaps, on the
other hand, to make the boxing game
a fighting game will always arouse
chiefly brutal instincts. Maybe the
game can never have better effects

RICH MAN IN THE COUNTRY

One of the problems which q gener
alton or two hence will have to strug-
gle with is that of the rich city man in
the country. Today he is welcomed
for a number of reasons. His presence
attracts other rich men to q locality,
for the millionaire likes company, and
the price of land goes up in conse,
quence. He subscribes freelyt to move
ments for road improvement. the dig.
ging Of drainage bitches, where CO.
operation is called for, and often of his
own initiative he develops q market
for new and more profitable product.
The price of farm land is advancing.
1t is no longer an easy thing for a farm
hand to make a venture into independ-
ence without capital. The practical
farmer is less inclined to let parts Of
his possession lie idle, because he
realizes he would be getting nothing
from property Of high value and upon
which he must pay as high taxes As
upon that which is under cultivation.
But this moving influence to produc-
ton does not strike the rich man ut all.
His income, being from other sources,
he can afford to let fields grow up in
weeds. A rich owner will park q
wood lot and thus keep down al new
growth. He will put in meadow the
most fallow of soil. In short, his ten
denotes, in the majority Of instances, to
cut down the average production of
the section in which he has his country

FATHERS DAY.

Fathers Day" has been inaugu'
rated in Spokane, Washington, by
Rev. DR.. William J. Hindley, pastor
of a Congregational church. In found
ing it DR.. Hindley said he wanted to
give everybody "a chance to speak .
few kind words for the old man who
surely needs sympathy" The few
kind words were said last Sunday, and,
perhaps. the "old man" felt better for
them. When the movement spreads
throughout the country, as the founder
and his followers believe it will, papa
probably will begin to chirp up and
feel that he is appreciated at something
approaching his own estimate Of his
real worth. Mother already has her
day and its observance, We hope,
brings joy to her dear old soul, but
father has been rather negligible
quantity in the household scheme. II
is true he is permitted to provide the
money to pay the bills. but what does
it profit a man to own palatial home
and supply the table with the fat Of
the land if he must adjourn to the
cellar or back steps to smoke his pipe
or cigar because tobacco smoke is
injurious to the lace curtains he did
not select, but had to pay for? MOI
does it add to the joys Of his outcast
nicotinous vigil to listen to the strains
of "Everybody Works but Father" As
played and sung by the young hopefals
amid the comfortable surrounding
from which he has been banished
Surely father needs little sympathy
and perhaps little more considers

AN IOWA POPCORN KING.

AN IOWA POPCORN KING.
A good many persons might be dis.
posed to look upon the industry of
popcorn as q small business. How.
ever, there is q lot of popcorn consum.
ed in the United States and somebody
has to raise it-else the devotees there.
of will experience q longfelt want.
These facts were realized . number
of years ago by an Iowa man, A. H.
Reuber by name, and he set about
making a speciality Of popcorn. He
planted twenty-five acres to start with
and the result was 50 satisfactory that
he steadily increased the size ofhis crop
from year to year. He acquired more
land and planted more popcorn and
found no trouble in disposing of all he
could raise at q good price.
Some of Mr.. Reuber's neighbors oh.
served that he seemed to be making a
good thing out of his venture and they
set about trying it On their own &C.
count. BY that time Reuber had es'
tablished q reputation As popcorn
grower and was receiving more orders
than he could fill. So he bought the
crops of his neighbors rs they matus-
ed. People kept on getting interested
in popcorn until the little town Of
Odebolt, with a population of 1000,
claims to be the popcorn center Of the
world. Last year 100000 pounds
were produced within a radious Of if
teen miles of the town and more Of it
grown every year. Reuber is popcorn
king and OdeboIt is headquarters for
popcorn.
The average profit of the crop Is
said to be about $50 to the acre. though
there are instances of larger profits be-
ing made. One farmer near Odebolt
received $3.50 for the output of forty
acres, and others have done approx
mately as we'll. In the meantime Mr.
Reuber is handling vast quantities Of
the grain and is encouraging all his
farmer friends to raise more of it, rs
the demand is constantly increasing.
Popcorn has now been introduced in
Europe, and the people like it. For
eign orders are piling up at Odebol'
and if the excitement keeps up the
whole state of Iowa is likely to catch
the infection and 60 to raising pop
corn for the crowned heads, and fol
the crownless ones at home rs we'll.
The farmer who adopts speciality
and devotes thought and energy to il
is level.headed man will more than
likely reap the reward of his efforts
There is more money in field Of pop
corn we'll tended than in large volume
and variety Of products which must
needs suffer at times for lack Of pr"
per cultivation. To one who would
make farming a life vocation there is 9
good deal in the career of Iowa's pop
corn king that may be probably
studied and emulated.-Louisvills

WHEN GRANT WHITFIELD AT

civil war, was q member of Gen. Geo

unexpected confirmation of the anec.

Sharpe, that Grants real purpose at
the battle of the Wilderness, about
which my story relates, was to let it
be known throughout tn North that
he intended to hang on to Gen. Lees
army until he captured it. You sure.

country was thrilled with his dispatch

The Bull"

The origin Of the word ''bulr' as the
definition Of u confused utterance Is
doubtful. Some pbilologists say it
comes from the French bOule-''fraud'
and others that 1t Is derived from
the Icelandic bull-"nOnsense." Many
definitions have been attempted. but
the best probably is that Of Sydney
Smith. Writing Of the difference be-
tween wit and bulls" he says: wit
discovers real relations that are appar-
ent; bulls admit apparent relations
that are not real. The stronger the
apparent connection and the more COM
plete the real disconnection OF the
ideas the greater the surprise and the
better the BULL"

that time our Eastern officers were not

became later. This Vas the FIRST bat.
tie we had been in with him.
There sat the great general, actual

the outcome Of the attack on Sedgwick
or the fortunes of battle anywhere else
along our front l think Meade also
must have observed Grants apparent
indifference, for At last he approached
him, and the rest of US went with
Meade. As We neared the tree, l
noticed that Grant wore I'D unifol m
which would distinguish his rank. He
had on . private's blouse and thick
boots and, 50 far rs l could zee, wore
no stars.

Grant stopped whiting, with the
knife blade buried half way down the
wood. 4 don't believe it, he said,
slowly, quietly and very decisively.
Then he began whiting again.
Gen. Meade and the rest ofus drew
off a few PAGES, but after . minute or
two Meade repeated his anxiety to
Grant, who once more stopped shaving
down the piece ofpine just long enough
to repeat in the same quiet, determined

81 could see that Gen. Meade was
not at all convinced, that he was. in
fact, beginning to lose his temper
you know, he was q quick-tempered
man. But just then occurred an ex

moment was declaring that he had the

in no danger.
