Girl and Ponce Cake.

Some time ago. Georgia reported,
with iustihable pride, that It had It
boy, s years old. who has succeeded
in raising 1876 bushels OF corn to the
acre. But now. says the Chicago
Journal, the same enterprising
state comes to the front with the
record OF girl, u, who has placed
on exhibition at the state normal
school % varieties OF corn-food
dishes! Every one of those dishes
IS described by the experts as not
only palatable but absolutely de-
llcious. or course, the boys sue
GEES depended in no snfafs degree on
weather and soil conditions. But

corn-food dishes! And all dellciousg
In days ''befo' de war;. Virginia
darkies had a "pone-cake' song, the
refrain OF which was:
Ole vlrginny tire
Put de cake upon de foot and hole
It to de FIRE.
1T is familiar saying that great
changes have come upon the South
since the days OF the song. Few.
however, in the line Of gastronomy
have equaled the advancement in the
art of pone-cake making. What a
Joy would have been added to the
gastronomic experiences of Bril-
Iat4savarin could he have lived TO
know that Georgia girl.

That genius is ever modest, Is a
saying that by constant reiteratiou
has become tr!te one, and is espe-
ciaily trne in the case OF the public
lily promoter of the Eiks minstrels.
Those gems of prose and poetry
that have been appearing in the local
press announcing the coming min
strel show have aroused wide at
tention and an insistent desire upon
the part of the reading ppblie as to
The identity of the author.
The writer modestly hides his
name under the nom de plume OF
kid Carson" but such genius can
not Toe allowed to blush unseen, and
TOW is the time for the unmasklng.
Kid Carson" is a name to conjure
with where and whenever the sub
'ect of sports is menttoned-a star
on the diamond, on the gridiron, on
the bowling alleys, at the rink, on
and off the ice, an umpire, referee.
tlmekeeper, a critic. reviewer and
general authority on all sports
such is Kid Carson. His career has
been typical OF the American youth
Of today, in the fact that he has
;arried a chain on surveying
corps and worked in pressing shop.
student al the West virg' ma Unl-
versity he left those halls of learn
ing, to the sorrow of the fans and
the untrammeled Joy of the pro-
sessors, to begin the practice of law
in tine already overworked courts of
Harrison county. BY some he has
been surnamed .TNecessityb-neces-
sity knows no law-but these be but
he carpings OF envious critics.
The literary career of the kid
has been especially brilliant. Per-
haps his best known effort was
serial story, Jacks Last Game,r
which ran in the Harrison County
Herald, a paper noted for its purity
of style. diction and politics.
The fact that the appearance Of
Jacks Last Game" and the sus-
pension of the publication of the
Herald occurred almost simulta-
neously, is only coincidence. When
the kid makes his exit from the
stage on Monday night, after having
done his turn, and following the ac-
2epted vaudeville custom, removes
his wig as he bows to the frenzied
ludience-whose classic features
will be revealed, none other than the
proud, chaste beauty OF Louie Carr
will be exposed? Louie-sportsman,
,awyer and literateur extraordinary.

made to question the Democracy OF
