Pulling Corn
Col. Winn is reported in the Con¬
stitution as being clown in the bot¬
tom pulling corn. Whether he is
pulling ears of corn or whiskers of
Duncan it’s all one with Winn. The
Jackson Herald says of his recent
corn pulling:
“This must have been a gorgeous
spectacle, and we are surprised that
Charley should have attempted to
gaze on it without a piece of smoked
glass.
“Tom Winn actually pulling corn!
(ireat Scotland Yard in the morning!!
What a procession of glory!!! There
are a number of Brother Tom’s ad¬
miring constituents who never have
never dreamed that it would hurt
their eyes to look at him between
two corn rows.
“But what a pity that a clamor¬
ous people would with ruthless hand
just yank a man out of his rural
contentment and make him serve
them in Congress whether he want¬
ed to go or not! But one of the
beauties of our political system is
that we are all patriots, and when
the people call every patriot will
obey, no matter how much inconven¬
ient e it | uts him to.”
Winn on The W ay.
Last Saturday evening when John
Snooks was returning from the Am-
anco meeting and keeping his eye
peeled for .Mrs. Snooks, he was
treated to a surprise lie will not for-
get even to bis dying day. She met
him at the gate with two pair of
specs on, her arms wide open, and
smiling tit to kill herself. John
came near fainting at this unusual
sight, but .before lie could catch l,i s
breath Mrs. Snooks exclaimed:
“Oh, John, John, I’ve seed ’im,
I’ve seed ’ini—I’ve seed im with my
two lookin’ eyes—Oh, John, my dar-
Hi „ r n”
John Snook; ventured , to ask:
“Seed who'*”
“Oh, John, I’ve seed Wind-l’ve
seed , im with my two . , lookin 1 • , eyes—
yesindeedy I have, John. I sei d
’im gvvme on to Congress a ridin’ his
hossipce an’ Brail a hoppm’ a!eng
right under the behind wheel, He
went right along this very roa I; an’
more ’11 that, he told Dilcv Ann who
was standin’ ,-.t the gate that he was
a gwine to fitch me that coffee what
I’ve geen doin’ without while you’ve
been puttin’ money in the v> irebou.se.
I)o you reckon lie'll do it, John!”
John saw no way to avoid the is¬
sue, and so lie gave a non-committal
answer:
“1 guesi* so, Jinsev.”
“You cress so! You are always
guessing so here of late! Why
don’t you know something? ITain’t
you been a fellin’ me that when
Wind and Bran got to Congress we’d
git that coffee an’ that wirehou.se an’
that sewin’ machine an’ lots of ether
things J’ve been doin’ without for
you to pay for your Reliartco pass¬
word? John Snooks, go an’ mind

The importance of thinking before
you speak recently received ay amus¬
ing illustration at a meeting in a
well known town not a thousand
miles from this place. One of the
persons who occupied the stage was
an enthusiastic deacon, who fre-
quently . interrupted . . , the speakers . , by
yelling: “Thank goodness for that! ”
One gentleman was called upon who
arose and said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am heart
and soul in this cause, and I feel
that it will be a great benefit to the
people of this place—”
“Thank goodness for that!” yelled
the deacon.
“But, ladies and gentlemen,” he
continued, “I am going to say that
it will be impossible for me to ad¬
dress you this evening—”
“Thank goodness for that!” broke
in the absent-minded deacon, amidst
general laughter,

gioigaml liope would {bird again in Hie j
evan; e id’s breast. On Sr.ndsv the
little chapel on the mount in ;-i<lo
was crowded, and the evangelist was
exhorting his hearers lo. leave their
rifles and hunting knives at home
when they went to ehureli. In the
course of half an hour he grew elo- j
quenf amt was just thinking that lie j
was going to carry his point when a I
fat buck trotted past the chapel and
disappeared in the laurel thicket.
An old hound that was sleeping in
the chapel door gave a yelp and
started after the buck, and the male
portion of the congregation grabbed

When they were out of sight the
evangelist said in despair:
“Oh, it’s no use, it’s no rtse.”

that was left behind, "I’ll bet you a

Ben and the Boys.
It was in the middle of the, after- j ;
•
noon. The boys had sat in their
seats for so long a time that they
began to groxv restive. ' Even a
good school-boy is only a boy. The
teacher’s back is turned. Ben Par¬
ker took a hanful of birashot out of
his pocket -and roiled them noiseless¬
ly over the floor. The teacher turned,
quickly and saw a number of the
boys mildly laughing. They couldn’t
help it,
“George, come here!” he called
out sharply. “Charlie and William
and Thomas and Henry, you may
come also.”
The boys named came forward.
“I am sorry boys, to be compelled
to make an example of you” he
“1 saw you laughing. Undoubtedly
it was the whole five of you that
threw these shot over the floor. I
shall punish you by making you
stand on the floor where you are
now' the rest of the afternoon. And
while you are standing there 1 want
vou to observe the quite and orderly
conduct of vour schoolmate, Bon

ill-timed mirth. I take pleasure in
commending Ben Parker, lie is at
this moment the best behaved boy
in tlys school. Stand where you are
boys, the rest of the school will now
have*recess.”
All through the long recess that
followed that lecture those boys
stood there, while Ben Parker
looked in at the window furtively
now and then and winked solemnly
and made faces at them.
It is a painful flung, children, to
be under the necessity of knocking

How to Cure Felons.
I notice in a recent issue a cure
for felons. I will give you one
that I discovered accidently, when
a young man.
I was engaged in marking iron
w ’ t ^ white, lead and turpentine,
and having a. felon coming on my
finger, dipped it frequently into
thc mixture. As the iron was
emite quite warm warm which vvnicn i 1 was was making making
at the time, I found the next
morning that there was a small
>' ellmv spot where I felt the felon.
1 opened this, and had no more
trouole from it. The next time I
felt one coming I procured some
turpentine and bathed the part
affected frequently, and held it
near a warm surface to dr), with
same result, as the first.
Since then I have used it several
times, always with the same result.
1 also have had others to try it,
among them some of our men who
work in the rolling mill.whosehands
are covered with a very hard skin,
and every one of them who tried
it met with the same results, sav¬
ing them a,great deal of time,
money and pain.
I asked an eminent physician
why the turpentine should produce
such a result. His answer was,
“It is a counter-irritant.”—Scien¬
tific American.
