THE LOSS OF THE TITANIC.

1t was Sunday night. From pill
grimages to other lands they were on
their journey home. From Rome with
her art, from Paris with her gaity,
from London with her luxury, they
had assembled and said they would
sail on the largest and finest and safest
boat afioat. For days the host haG
been converging upon the sailing port
and at last they waved farewell to
land. Little did they dream that more
than half their number would find
death in the depths.
1t was the initial trip of the great
levithan. Hope was radiant and with
every guest1r there was joy in the
journey, assthe!sun passed the meridi-
an at the hour of noon they were one
day nearer home. The great banks Ct
Newfoundland had been reached, the
graveyard of the Atlantic. Here the
Vicksburg, Arcadian, City of Berlin,
Assyrian, Bourgogne and other ships
had reached the eternal. port, so the
Titanic ran slow. Nearer and nearer
she approached the fatal crash against
the ice, unwarned, unseen, unfelt.
The danger is sighted, the engines are
reversed and the distress waves of
IS. o. s." go out through the wireless
to all the world. The crash conner,
great sheets of steel are torn and
crumpled, lives of the sleeping are
snuffed out and hurried orders are
given to lower the boats. The un-
written law of the sea prevails, women
and children first, john Jacob Astor
with his hundred million, w. T. Stead
with his fame international and scores
of others with all that life can give,
stand before death with the peasant in
poverty. The wealth of the world

THE ORIGIN OF CORN.

According to western paper, an ex
pertinent was made in developing CO
backward, until all the ears v ere on
the top of the stalk, and
growing so small that the stalk cas- ly
could carry them in that position
Selecting the smallest kernels of the
smallest ears, the corn gradually was
led backward through its history un-
til it became much larger than goor =
sized head of timothy grass, and the
kernels of rice.
This experiment proved corn to be,
what some of the botanists claim, an
evolution of one of the grasses of
Southern Mexico. The result obtain
ed stood about three feet high, with
slim grass-like leaves, seed at the top
of the stalk, and IN every way good
substitute for timothy or orchard
grass.
"a 1t is thought the plant was
brought from the south by the mi
grating tribes, finally being adopted
by the Indians Of Florida, anG by
them and by other Indians was de-
veloped through long periods of years,
until it was becoming the one staple
article of food all over the territory
now occupied by the Unile ed Stated.
When the English and French entered
their great struggle for the possession
of what is now America, immense corn
fields were found as far north as New
York and Massachusetts,. Massa-
soft fed his white friends with corn
and at later date sweet corn was
found, grown by the Indians in Mas
sachusetts. When Sullivan was sent
against the Ire quois during our Revo-
luton he destroyed vast orchards of
apples and immense acreages of corn.
De Soto reports cornfields in southern
Florida, where he is said to have
marched through "growing corn and
beans clear across the state TO Tallahas-
see." The Frenchman who Sc tied in
The st. Johns River valley were fed
with corn and taught how to cook it.
Captain Smith tells of five varieties of
bread that were made from corn by
the Indians of Virginia. The pioneer
colonists soon learned how to prepare
this new grain for food and without it
they could never have made their
passage westward through the wilder
ness. The Indians were more ad-
vanced in agriculture than is gener-
ally supposed. The industrious, in.
telligent Indians probably raised good
crops OF corn; the loafers raised very
small crops.
At Prairie du Sac and around Bara-
boo in an early day were large corn
fields occupied by the Indians. Some
of the cornhills may still be seen at
Sank City.

r1ARKING THE OREGON TRAIL

Years and years ago little bands of
Sank county people left overland for
Oregon following the trail which has
become one of the most interesting
features of American history. Some
are still living who braved the priva-

ton from the rim of civilization to
the land beyond the great divide.
Early nextIyear the State Historical
society of Nebraska will begin the task
of marking the Oregon trail from
where it enters the state from Wash
ington county, Kansas, to the
Colorado line.
The markers will be of dark gray
granite from Vermont. These will be
1-6x1x5 feet, to be set in cement base.
All of these markersl will bear this
inscription:

Baltimore Athletes
Declare Officials to
Have Made Mistakes

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 2.-Ike Ruth,
manager of the football and baseball
teams of the Cross Country Club and
one of the competitors yesterday, ad-
mitted this morning that the work Of
the scorers at the finish Of the race was
a joke, and that few of the runners got
their right positions. He said:
"The officials paid more attention to
checking, and, naturally, there was a
muddie. | should have been second
instead of fifth, but didn't raise any
howl because did not want to inJure
the club. You know, there was a mix
up last year which took long time to
die out"
Ignatius McKenna, of St. Andrews
gymnasium, Of this city, declared that
he was robbed out Of eighth position and
dropped to fifteenth. His claim Is that
he was forced to go two extra laps
around Oriole Park.
Dan Miller, of the Central Y. M. c.
A., and t. he said, entered the gate
side by side. We ran together until
within few yards of the finish, when
he spurted and beat me out by a short
judges gave him seventh prize and told
me l had two more laps to go. The
handling of the event was the worst
have ever seen.
''As l was in the race I don't know
for certain that Bolac, of Washington.
finished first, but there Is certainly room
for argument. l will not accept the
medal for eighth place, and will never
again compete in an event held by the
Cross Country Club unless they have
more efficient scorers"

Captain Hegarty Trying to
Arrange Game in
Springfield.

Negotiations have been opened for q
football game next fall between George
town and Dartmouth
Capt John Hegarty, of the Blue and
Gray eleven, whose home is in New
buryport. Mass, is now In Springfield,
Mass, where he has been in consulta-
ton with alumni of both universities
concerning the arrangement of date.
1t Is reported that he has not only
been encouraged In his endeavors by the
graduates, but the Springfield Board of
Trade is in favor of the plan, and is
ready to lend its support to the propo-
sition.
The proposed date is THANKSGIVING
Day. Dartmouth formerly played Brown
on the final day of the season, but fol-
lowing the game in 1906 there was a
breach in relations, and there has been
no meeting between the institutions
since.
Lehigh is anxious to again play
Georgetown here, but Hegarty's move
evidently means that Georgetown is
willing to go away from home at the
close II the inducements are sufficient
Although there have been baseball
games between the colleges, Georgetown
and Dartmouth have never met in foot
ball. Probably the strongest division of
the Georgetown Alumni Association is
in New England, and 1t is believed that
the former students will bend every ef-
fort to bring about successful culmi-
nation of the scheme launched by the
local gridiron leader,
