Neither Had Time to Stop.

Neither vessel had time to stop or to
veer. The Persian was heading diagonal
ly toward the Millinocket, SO that the
blow was a glancing one. The Millin-
ocket was struck on the starboard side,
aft of amidships. and her plating was
ripped open to the water line.
The sea rushed into the hole and her
pumps were started at once. The Persian
in the meantime was lost to sight In
the fog.
The Millinocket proceeded for port un-
der full steam. with all her pumps going,
but the water in her afterhold gained
steadily.

Exceeded His Acreage.

This hard luck corn story comes
from the Minneapolis Better Way:
a neighboring farmer having a large
number of acres in corn, started
through his field the other day in
quest of enough roasting ears for his
Sunday dinner. His search resulted
in only few ears, which were taken
to the house and duly prepared. The
corn havins been removed from the
cob was placed in a dish and graced
the center Of the table. Now the
guest of honor on this particular
occasion happened to be the eldest
daughters steady OF course the
corn was passed to him first, as a
matter Of politeness. The young man
promptly helped himself to one heap
ing spoonful and reached for the sec
ond. when he was checked by a hasty
warning from the farmer who ex-
claimed: Stop right there, young
man; you already have Is acres on
your plate. Kansas City Star.
