LITTLE BUT ACTIVE BRAIN
Small Margaret's Scheme to Secure
Liberty Would Have Done Credit
to Much Older Person.


With the following story Margar
cts father supports his opinion that
adroitness is congenital in women:
On Saturday Margaret, aged four,
was in deep disgrace. Four times
since two o'clock she had run away
to visit Mrs. Gilbert. her favorite
neighbor, and was now paying for her
crime by detention in the house.
At FIVE her father returned and sat
on the porch reading his evening pa
per. To him, in few minutes, Mar
garet sauntered out, her mind intent
on carrying out her plans, and short
ly suggested:
Daddy, let's play you are the baby,
and l am the mother"
... Daddy agreed on condition that 1t
must be very little baby and one
that would not be expected to move.
Thereupon Margaret, after silence
In which one could hear her brain
currents crackle said: Now, Honey,
you are to be a good little baby and
don't run away, while Mothers for a
little while going over to Mrs. Gill
bert's. The Sunday Magazine.

Col. Porter H. Dale is entitled to
the Fluctuations of his more FORUM
ate colleague on the neat, able-bodied
and two-handed fashion in which he
cleaned up the second district by
such a substantial majority, Con-
gresham Greene had no such op-
position as his running-mate aud his
election was a foregone conclusion
at all times. Col. Dale's friends,
however, up to the final days of tn e
campaign, were somewhat ruefully
considering what the Legislature
would be apt to do in case he failed
of a majority. The answer seems to
have been obvious to the voters of
the second district-vote for Dale

MANY USES For lNDlAN CORN
For One Thing II Is Classified as, Next
70 Rice, Most important Of
Worlds Foods.

Next to rice, this grass is the most
important food plant in the world. be-
sides serving In a thousand other i'm
portant ways the needs OF man. 1t is
native TO America, having been Guilt
waited In the western hemisphere since
prehistoric times. The name maize we
use for II is derived from the word
Mahtz, the name the old Haitiens en-
ployed and which Columbus adopted
when he discovered America. When
the white settlers came to the United
States they found the Indians Guilt
waiting 1t, and quickly learned from
them its great value. Several of the
old Indian names for certain prepare
tons still remain and are incorpor-
ated In the language of the American
people, such as samp, hominy and
succotash. Strangely, as human food,
the Indian corn is practically unknown
outside of America.
Among its manifold uses, outside of
food value, are the following: The oil
extracted from the kernel Ia used for
surfacing and polishing oilcloth and
linoleum, and the cake left after the
oil has been extra ted is fed to sheep.
Glucose from this plant, a sugary
white liquid, is used by confectioners
in great quantities. Cornstarch, when
not used for chocolate puddings, is
licked by us when we put stamp to
the envelope. Maize is also a growing
source for denatured alcohol used for
heating and lighting. Corn stalks WOW
en- into strong belts are used on all
large vessels at the bulkheads for pro-
lection. Our most dangerous explo-
sive, gun cotton and smokeless pow
der, rely for their manufacture on the
Indian corn. A poor quality of mo-
lasses is furnished by the stems, paper
by the stalks, and stalks and stems
are used as fodder for farm stock.

The residents of Derby street are

example is worthy of emulation in
other parts of the village. Mr.. M.

Here is theslatest from Dick Curley, manager of Patsy Kline:
 herewith challenge Johnny Kill bane to box my boy, Patsy Kline from to 20 rounds. As soon as Manager Jimmy Dunn is ready I will post a forfeit to bind the match from to 40 rounds if necessary
 Jack McGuigan of Philadelphia was willing to stage the bout, also Jack Han1on and Billy Gibson of New York, but he would sooner fight some dub for few hundred and refuse -s1,25e for six rounds with Kline. Kill bane has enough respect for Kline and could mot be dragged into the ring with a fifty horse power engine. The only excuse he has for same Is that Kline hits too hard.

Duffey Since that time Yale has twice come within two or three points of the title, but this year won the dual meets with Princeton and Harvard by such i'm pressive margins that renewed hope of victory has sprung up. Never since John Mack has been track coach has the team won the title. z

Safety first" shouted a fan in the State street Casino last night as he watched two boxers in fond embrace That was the motto in the star bout in which Young Kansas of sBuffaao. N. r.. and Bobby Reynolds of New York gave an imitation of the Castles dancing the maxixe. Reynolds wore a skating cap when he entered the ring and perhaps that was the reason he didn't warm up. There were shrill cries of distress from the audience during the progress of the ten rounds Kansas did most of the. hitting and was entitled to the decision.
 In the seuni-fnal K. o. PaIitz of New London and Chick West Of Hol- yoke, Mass, rubbed their heads to- gether for ten rounds. PaIitz made funny faces which made the fans for- get their misery. A draw would be 8 fair verdict.
 Bunny Ford beat Al Ketchel of this city in ten round engagement Ket- che1 started well, but after Ford be-, gan to force matters Ketchei started to hang on. Neither boxer was badly punished at the finish.
 In the preliminary Bud Palmer of this city gave Teddy Fsabryck of Fair field bad beating. Palmer was too. clever for Fabryclx, who displayed great gameness, and was applauded at the finish.
 The crowd, which was large, in- du1ged in many sarcastic remarks during the evening. One fan who did not enthuse over the work of Referee Terry Lee and who evidently liked Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven. kept demanding in loud tones Where's Fitzgerald ?''
