Corn Products Widely Used.

The products of corn go around the
world to a degree beyond all guess
ing. Two products widely. diffused
are glucose corn strip and grape
sugar. In 1919 corn strip was dis
tributed to nearly seventy-five differ
ent countries, in weight amounting to
220,3S0, T61 pounds and of the value
of 13,169,051. To more than twenty
countries corn sugar was sent to the
mount of 35,236,94S pounds and of
the value Of $1.970,S93. Corn sirup Is
q distinctively American product. Its
greatest purchaser was the United
Kingdom, and France was next. The
same distinction is true in the foreign
purchases of cor sugar. Glucose was
discovered about 1900.

Thumb Prints for Brides

The newest slogan of English social
life Is to fight bigamy with Bertillon
methods. There the war has brought
on an unprecedented wave OF blgamy.
Soldiers with two and sometimes
three wives are still being daily
charged In the courts. Australians
with wives ut the other end of the
earth and brides in England were said
10 be the wors offenders, their special
plural marriage system becoming one
of the jokes of the music halls.
II has been suggested that couples
seeking marriage licenses should fur
nish their photographs, which shall be
affixed to their marriage %"llnes," The
certificate bearing the thumb prints Of
both bride and bridegroom shall then
be photographed and the proof filed
with the statistical records at Somer-
ser house. BY adopting this system it
is believed that no question can ever
remain unsettled as to the actual iden-
tity of the contracting parties In case
any such question should ever arise.

v Th.re was 4 sl1e,old toad that lived
for more than filsisNnlx years IN u

farmhouse, How old Il was when hfst

Tho step became the bairachians

which persisted In crossing aud re-

one Of the sights OF the ncighborhood,

which II used It's wonderfully formed
Tongue entitled IL 10 be ranked MS an
expert among hunters.
For one thing. II showed wonderful
skill In judging distance; the tongue
was never darted out until the insect
came within a certain range. The ac-
curacy Of the creatures aim was an
other matter for surprise. The In.
sects were generally In motion when
the tongue was dartcd against them,
but the arrow never failed to hit Its
mark.
The rapldity with which the tongue
was shot forth excited much wonder.
The operation is a complex one. The
tongue is doubled or rolled up when

action is required, an uncoilIng OF the
weapon, and then the darling Of II
forth.
The Withdrawing Of the tongue, with
the captured insect on the top, was
not less remarkable. Notwithstanding
the rapid motion. the flneness Of the
tongue tip and the struggles Of the
prey the victim was never dropped.
The toad was SO tame that IL might
rightly be called domesticated. II
would remain quietly In n hand and
take It's food from the other. provided
a leaf was placed on the hand which

II would look around with the great

rapidity than In Its day huntings.
In this way the toad lived for thir.'

hood. 1t might have lived many years

MADE ON BETS.
Prior to that time any big money
carried OF by boxers was the result
OF side bets. The promoters never
dreamed OF a $4,000 purse.
John l.. sullivan and | fought for
a purse OF s25. 900 and $4,000 stake
money at New Orleans in 1892. In
1907 Fitzsimmons and | drew $4,000
at Carson City. The gate for my
bout with Kid Mccoy In 1000 was
Sl5.350, and when Jen and l iought
in San Francisco in 1908 the ooxihs
public turned $63.340 into the poA
office.
In those days $4,000 was big
money. II went almost as far as
$50 900 would go today. The cost Oh
living WAS reasonable and the poker
who carted of "ten grand" was IN
deed fortunate. so i consider thst
in many ways was almost as wen

Great writer's tell us that in order
to be a success, you must WORK
day and night. Whether you should
work day or night depends upon
whether you want to be a book agent
or burglar.
There IL no way to measure sue
cess, but the average burglar thinks
he's been a success If he only spends
half his life in Jail.
Opportunity has often knocked at
your door, but you probably thought
ID was a collector.
When opportunity rings your door
bell, the chances are the people up
stairs answer 1t.
Lots of business men have never
had a success until they've had two
or three failures.
Success is at the top Of the ladder,
but by the time we climb up after

The only way to beat it is to get

GOT FIRST BIG PURSE.
In the old days OF boxing such
purses were never dreamed OF. The
first big purse ever fought for in
this country was offered to Peter
Jackson and myself away back in
1901 by the California Athletic Club
OF San Francisco.
This match was made after I
fought Choynoski. and when the
me l demanded a purse Of $4,000 to
be split $500 to the winner and
81 500 to the loser. He thought !
was crazy. Everybody laughed at
me. But the club finally agreed.
