mine eccentricities furnish rich vein

mine eccentricities furnish rich vein of comedy.
 Briefly. Georgiana Chadbourne has had a surfeiting experience as the wire of a "perfect saint" He was so good that he was tiresome and this paragon of a man having departed from life, his white soul presumably winging It's way to heaven. Georgianas pent-up spirits effervesce. and in short while she is in the lists for man after her own heart. She meets this man In highly unconv en tional way, carries on a desperate irritation with him, in or der to test him. and when the test Is in danger of becoming entirely too real istic. as the result of the proximity Of lady vaudeville star. she is well pleased to have her lover discover that Georgiana is not the wife of his best friend, as he had supposed, but wid- ow Thereupon matters are arranged satisfactorily and the curtain falls on a repentant Georgiana, whom that same vaudeville star has frightened into the firm conviction that she doesn't want a sinner after all, but mate who will have eyes for herself alone.
 Miss Russell retains her perennial charm undiminished and she still wears the stunning gowns which have made her name synonymous with sartorial perfection. Also, there is no question that she has become a very capable comedienne, and last night she was called upon to prove her mettle in a play that rested almost entirely on her shoulders. The members of Miss Rus sells company gave excellent support so far as their opportunities permitted Hattie Russell as Sallie. Miss Scott as vaudeville artist. and Miss Jessie Ralph as the maid, Mcintyre, shared in the honors of the evening. while Harry c. Brown as Jack Garrison, Jo- seph Tuohy as an ex-prize fighter and Lynn Pratt as Harry McNeal were ac- ceptable.

DRAWING THE LONG BOW.

Stories of Archers Famed For Aim and
Force and Speed.
Many 'long bow" stories are to
be found in the worlds literature
long before the time Of the cele-
brated Baron Munchausen. Indeed,
by far the greatest part of. them had
their origin in the remote past.
Virgil in the "Aeneid' tells of four
archers who were shooting for a
prize, the mark being pigeon tied
by a cord to the mast Of a ship.
The first man hit the mast, the sec
ond cut the cord and the third shot
the pigeon as it flew away. The
fourth archer, having nothing left
at which to shoot, drew his bow and
sent his arrow flying toward the
sky with such speed that the fric-
ton of the air set the feathers on
fire and it swept on like meteor,
to disappear in the sky.
That's a bow and arrow story to
test the strongest credulity.
The stories of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonder
full performance at Locksley in
SCOTS F1vanhoe," are also a decid-
ed strain on ones power of belief.
The famous legend of William
Tell is believed by some authorities
to have foundation in fact. There
was a Dane named Foke of whom
the same story was told, and Will
liam of Cloudsley, an Englishman,
is said to have shot an apple from
his sons head merely to show his
skill.
The majority of the bow and ar
row stories relate to the accurate
aim of the archers, but French
man, Blaise de Vigenere, tells one
in which the main point is the ire
mendous force with which an arrow
may be propelled if the bow is
strong and long enough. Accord
ing to his own account of the mat
ter, he saw Barbarossa, a Turk, adj
miral of a ship called the Grand
Solyman, send an arrow from his
bow clean through a cannon ball.
Whether the cannon ball had a hole
in it OF not he neglects to inform us.
Perhaps the most astounding of
all stories about arrow shooting is
that of the Indians who used to in
habit Florida. It is said that a
group of them would form circle;
one would throw an ear of Indian
corn into the air; the rest would
shoot at it and shell it of every
grain before it fell to the ground.
Sometimes the arrows would strike
the ear of corn so hard and fast that
it would remain suspended in the
air for several minutes, and the cob
never fell until the last grain had
been shot away.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

SAVE ENOUGH SEED CORN.
Suggestions on How Much Seed
Corn to Select.

Few farmers save enough seed corn.
One bushel of shelled corn will plant
from seven to eight acres. One hun
dred to one hundred and twenty Sc
lected ears will make a bushel of
shelled corn. At this rate it will take
from twelve to fifteen ears to plant
one acre. It should be remembered,
however, that the first selection is
not always perfect; and oftimes, upon
second selection and termination test,
half Of the first selection will be
thrown out. Thus it is seen that
there should always be selected in the
fall at least twice as much seed as
the. farmer expects to plant. There
is little danger of getting too much
seed corn. ANY surplus. if the seed
is good, can usually be sold at fair
price. MINI. Extension Bull. No. 9.
Morris tribune., 1911-09-15
Storing Seed Corn.

After time has been spent selecting
seed corn, it would be folly to store
it in place where it would not keep.
Freshly-gathered seed corn should not
be left in piles in warm room, or on
the floor. 1t will either sprout, mold
or do both. Always store seed corn
where there is a good circulation of
air, so it will dry quickly. Never
leave it in boxes, in piles. on the
porch or in the barn. 1t should be
taken care of at once.
There are only three necessary con-
ditions for storing seed corn; and, if
these are followed, one may be rea-
sonably sure that ninety-fve per cent
or more of his corn will germinate,
provided it was properly matured.
First, there must be good circula-
tion Of air about each ear. to carry
away the surplus moisture. Second.
a temperature must be maintained
above freezing, until the seed is
thoroughly dry. Third, seed corn
must be selected early enough, so
that it may have plenty of time to
dry before cold weather.

CITY WILL PAY HALF.
For Installing Cluster Lights ON
Atlantic Avenue.

At the council meeting on Tuesday
night. the council agreed to pay one
half of the cost of purchasing and in.
stalling cluster lights on Atlantic ave-
nue..
The committee was represented by
c. A. Dushek and C. A. Lee, who
stated that after thoro invetigation,
the committee were of the opinion
that 80 lights could be installed on
Atlantic avenue at 500 per post or
less, and that the Morris Electric
Light Co. would remove the present
poles from Atlantic avenue and place
the wires in conduits if assured of a
ten year contract with the city on a
specified schedule at specified rate.
The committee further stated that
it was now necessary to know what
the council will do before going to
the property owners to ask them to
contribute towards the cost of INSTALL
ing the lights. The matter was
thoroly discussed and the council
voted to pay one-half of the cost.
The committee will soon consult
the property owners relative to their
paying one-half of the cost of these
lights.
Morris tribune., 1911-09-15
WHERE TO STORE.

Numerous tests of seed corn have
been made. Of all the thousands of
samples tested, those that were taken
from a house attic, where there was
a good circulation of air. gave the
highest per cent of termination. Sec
ond in per cent Of termination was
seed corn stored in cellar in which
there was heating plant. Cellars
without furnaces are usually damp
and undesirable for storing. Samples
of seed corn stored in oat bins, on
porches. under the caves of barns, and
in open sheds, have also been tested f.;
and they usually gave tests too low
for the seed to be of value for plant
ing. It is easily seen that seed corn
kept in an attic or an unused second
story room can have the required con-
ditions for drying; namely, good cir
culation of air, and an even tempera.
ture, above the freezing point. Leon

MAKE GREAT RECORD.
Wright Aeroplanes Have Ac.
complished Wonderful Things.

The Wright Bros. aeroplanes one
of which will BE- at the Richland
County fair Sept. 26. 27, %, 20,
continue to carry off the honors at all
aviation meetings where durability
and practicabilitv count.
During the recent Chicago meet.
one of the Wright machines made
the wonderful record of flying 27
hours in the air, or an average of
considerably over three hours a day.
A few statistics are of interest.
Should the flight have been across
country, the distance covered would
have been considerably more than
the distance between St. Louis and
New York. The engine turning at
400 revolutions per minute, made
2.268, 900 revolutions. Each piston
travelled Is, 144, 900 inches or l, 512, :
900 feet, or over $50 miles, dis
tance as great as between st. Louis
and Chicago. The propellers made
about 648, 900 revolutions apiece. aid
the tops of these each travelled 18, =
144, 900 feet.
The most remarkable feature of this
great performance is that not single
adjustment was made, either to the
machine or to the motor during the
entire meet.
