WHAT next?
Farmer Sells Corn To a Local Feed
Store, and Weighs In 17O
Pounds Of Rocks.

Several days ago the proprietor of
a local feed store was called to the
telephone by a farmer about twelve
miles distant, supposedly, and asked If
he wanted to buy a wagon load OF
good corn, to which the feed man re.
piled that he did, quoting the market
price, and the farmer told him 1t was
his corn and he would bring It in that
day.
In about an hour Mr.. Farmer drove
up with the corn, which surprised
Mr. Feedstoreman at the quick time
made in getting to Maysville with a
big two-horse wagonload of corn over
twelve miles of rough roads in an
hour.
He was told to drive to a certain
scales and have it weighed and come
back and get his money.
After getting it weighed and re-
ceiving the weight tickets, he drove
off the scales and when at a street
corner in sight of the man who did the
weighing, Mr.. Farmer was seen to get
off the wagon, take off horse blank
ct with something rolled up in 1t, de-
post the something in the gutter,
throw the blanket onto the wagon and
drive off; all of which excited the Gu
riosity of the scales man, who went to
see what was there, and found four
big rocks.
Mr.. Feedstoreman was notified at
the first opportunity, who got the
rocks and took them to his store,
where he found they weighed 10
pounds.
The local merchant has written the
farmer n letter about the matter, and
unless he makes good he will be pros
ecuted.
lie says the corn was frst-class, but
he could not afford to buy rocks at
corn prices, as there was no demand
fof them.

fine bushy tail was alire. The cat
made dash for liberty in the direc-
ton of lace window curtains, but Mr..
Randolph was too quick for It and
smothered the flames with a coat be-
fore the fire could be spread. Aside
from a bad fright and a singed tail
the cat is none the worse for the ex-
perience.

Although the Harrison narcotic law

AS a revenue measure the law has
a very practical control of the drug

> Origin Of Dukes.

The word duke is from the Latin
''dux," leader. In early Saxon times
the commanders Of armies were called
dukes-i. e., the leaders of the soldierye
In other words, the first duke was the
first best fighting man. No regard was
had to ancestry or present attachments
or any other sort of thing beyond the
simple matter of warlike efficiency,
