penny.
The December American Maga-
zine contains remarkable ac-
count of j. A. Burns, Kentucky
mountaineer and fuidest who
saw the futility of the life he and
his neighbors were leading and
set out TO found college. He
called meeting of feuidists and
those who were present came
armed. They fell in with the
plan, however, and as result
Oneida Institute was founded
and is doing a great work. Burns
is a man of the Lincoln type.
Following is an extract:
Burns had not a dollar when
he began to build his college.
Henry HeusIey gave him fifty
dollars. l suppose that was the
greatest college donation ever
made in America. 1t was on a
little piece of land, also offered
in donation, that Burns began to
build his college. frl III
"He began it all alone. A
blacksmith made him some stone
working tools out of crowbar.
He quarried and laid the founda-
tions of Oneida Institutes first
building all by himself. He be-
gan next on the woodwork, still
alone. Shamsfaced some of his
nelghbors came to help him.
Soon there were twenty men
helping him at the building.
They worked blithely, and pref.
ty, much all night sometimes,
They worked all by themselves
out in the mountains, with no
thought of recognition, with no
idea of glory or reward. Burns
worked, five miles back and forth
oyer the mountains when he went
home to sleep, but, mostly he
slept IN the shayings under his
" ork-bench, and sometimes it
was midnight before he found
time to sleep. But in someway

Some years ago a Hoosier farmer be-
gan to breed fine seed corn. At one
OF the great national corn shows, held
Rt Chicago, he took the first prize for
a single ear of corn. The rule govern
ing this exhibit was that the ear TAX
Eng first prize became the property Of
the corn show. The farmer was in
despair until he learned that this best
ear in the world" would be sold at
public auction to the highest bidder.
He determined he must keep this ear
OF corn for seed on his own farm at
any cost. HE BOUGHT THE EAR
FOR $500.
4 Every one said he was crazy to pay
such price for single ear of corn.
OF course any other ear Of the same
weight and costing about ~ cents
