PROTESTANTS "AGIN"

TUNE HOLE.
Belfast, Ireland, Feb. GA largely
attended meeting of Protestant min
listers was held in Belfast today to
denounce home rule and to protest
against the home rule gathering
scheduled to be held here Thursday,
at which Winston Churchill, John
Redmond and other prominent men
will make addresses.
Today's meeting follows a conven-
tion of the Irish Presbyterian church,
which has been in session here for
several days, at which clergymen and
laymen expressed their opinion of the
home rule measure in no flattering
terms. The Irish Loyalists are plan.
ming for demonstration tomorrow,
and the government has ordered that
all troops in the north of Ireland be
kept in their barracks theis week. It
is reported that thousands of Ulster
men are drilling for the purpose of re-
sisting home rule by force of arms if
necessary. Extraordinary precautions
are being taken to protect Churchill
and Redmond when they come here
this week, as rumors of plots to as
sassinate them are rife.

ore Unique Story of its Discovery

type to permit of their being exhibit
ed. There is small box on every
corn wagon in which the most perfect
ears are thrown. These, when proper
ly selected, constitute the seed corn,
and among these more perfect ears
we occasionally find an ear that we
are willing to exhibit in a contest.
con the day the champion ear was
found, l was at the house and at dir
ner time one of the men brought it in
and laid it, with a number of other
ears, upon the window sill in the well
room for me to take and put away in
the seed house.
WELL I said, do you think you've
got a good ear there?'
ct looks to me like a good ear,
he said. What do you think of it?'
Il picked it up and looked it over.
Well, said finally, L think it is the
most perfect ear of corn l ever saw.
It's good enough to win the W. X. Kel-
logg $1,000 trophy this year at Oma-
ha,'
And I was confident the moment |
saw it, and looked it over, that | held
the trophy winner in my hand. So
much so that when l left for Omaha
to exhibit the ear, l took it out of my
grip and showed it to the station
agent with the words, That's the ear
I'm going to win the $1,000 trophy
with"
SO there's the story of the champion
ear as Palm told it himself. And on
the strength of it who will say that
Fred c. Palm doesn't justly merit the
title, THE, Man who Knows Corn?'
But that's not all of Palms story.

MADAME REA-NYE

Madame Rea-Nye arrived in Hat

home in New York. She Is
making a trip from New Orleans
and return on wager of $1,000 Of
fered by the New York Examiner, and
has reached this city on her return
trip. The contract calls for her ar
rival in New York City by May 1st
and she is confident that she will
make it. She has worn out two horses
already on the trip, the last one be-
coming lame at Gulfport, where she
was compelled to purchase another
animal to continue her journey. She
is of Spanish descent and depends
entirely upon her. ability to tell for

expenses. This is done in theatres
and not by private readings. On her
journey Madame Rea-Nye carries a
massive bull dog and small re-

protection. She made a similar trip
one time before going from Winnie

sage TEA Will
OARkEN The HAIR
Restore Faded And Gray Hair To
Natural CoIor-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great-grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using sage tea." Whenever
their hair fell ont or took on dull,
faded OF streaked appearance they
made brew of sage leaves and ap-
piled it to their hair, with wonderful
beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by skillful chemists bet
ter than we could do it ourselves, and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing
sage in the proper strength, with the
addition of sulphur, another old-time
scalp remedy.
The manufacturers II this remedy
authorize druggists to sell 1t under
guarantee tha the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by THE OWL
DRUG STORE.

is the way the grower of this remark
able ear of corn, Mr.. Fred G. Palm,
styles himself. Though he is admit
ted to be one of the leading corn ex-
perts in the country-one whose serv-
ices are greatly in demand as judge
of corn exhibits, Mr.. Palm asks for
no greater honor or distinction than
to be known as plain Hoosier farm
er; and while he openly processes a
reasonable pride in the achievement
of growing the famous ear of corn
which was adjudged the most perfect
ever grown, it is without shadow
of ostentation.

CALLS JEFF DAVIS A JOKE.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-That Senator
jefferson Davis is a joke in Wash
ington, that he is "a disgrace to
and that his record has
been the worst of any man who ever
occupied a seat in the United States
Senate" are among the mildest of
the statements made by former Con-
gresham S. Brundidge, of Searcy who
is opposing Davis for reelection.
Brundidge expects to speak in ev-
cry important city and town in the
state during his campaign. He re-
sumes his stumping tour today al
Wa-dron, and during the week will
make addresses in Charleston, Boone
vile, Magazine, Danville, Perryville
and Perry.
Senator Davis has been repeatedly
challenged by Brundidge to joint de-
bate, but has refused the invitation
Mr.. Davis will cover the state thor
oughly and has made large use Of his
anti-gambling speech in the Senate
as a campaign document. Gov. Dona
ghey is opposed for reelection by
Congressman Joe T. Robinson and
both are making a whirlwind cam
paign that will continue until the
gong is sounded announcing the open

BAsEBALL MAeNATEs TO MEET.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Magnates of both
big leagues will meet week from to-
day to complete. the schedule, cons
slider new rules and arrange trades.
There have been comparatively few
trades and exchanges this winter in
the American league, and it is proba-
BILE that there will be much dickering
when the owners and managers of
that organization assemble here next
week.
The rules committee Of the Nation
al League, when 1t confers week
hence, is expected to take some ac-
tion toward the regulation of the use
of spikes. Many prominent players
have been seriously injured and put
out of commission for time by the
spikes of their opponents, and while
1t is not believed that there is any
man in organized ball so low as to
deliberately injure a player, it is con-
sidered that some change in the rules
that would lessen the risk is now nee
essary. John Ward, chairman of the
rules committee, is understood to ad-
vocate reducing the size of spikes
used, and if this fails to eliminate
accidents, to put the ban on their use
entirely Spikes will not be entirely
tabooed, however, so long as there is
any chance of rendering them COM
paratively harmless.

and painstaking selection of seed and
breeding than the experiences of this
same Palm. The farmer who thinks
he stands chance to go into his corn
field and by piece of luck pick out
an ear which nature has fashioned
even more perfectly and with it wrest
the honors from this Indiana man,
cannot de better to disabuse his mind
of this fallacious notion than to read
the story of Palm and his champion
ear.
In the first place, Palm knows corn.
If there were no more proof of this
fact than the bare story of the devel-
