especially those of middle age, is the
“swayhack slouch.” The frightful

The Dime-Novel Boy.
Mount Lelianon, N. J., has had ex-
peiience of a “boV terror.” He is In
jiil now, but there was much diffi
culty and some danger in getting him
there. The pri-onor is a lusty little
brute, abounding In courage and with
no more morals than a wildcat He
had attacked a number of girls and
women, always in a manner in itself
craven, but when a posse got after
him he kept them at bay for hours
with a gun, as they did not wish to
kill him. Later the “terror” was
captured while asleep, an Impulse to
lynch him was overru'ed and he was
taken to prison in irons.
Here is the ideal dime-novel hero,

lame is his. He will be graduated
from a reformatory to a prison, per

This Is the career he has mapped
out for himself. To follow it is one
of the penalties for being a dime

In the first week of January I attended
two such meetings in Indiana while on
my way to Minnesota. The first one
was at Carthage, and It has not been

At this institute we had Mr. S. F.

two veteran institute instructors of the
state. Mr. McMahan probably knows
as much about corn as Is known, and
that means a great deal. It has been
a revelation to me to learn how thor

of grain that is rich In protein, high in
vitality and very prolific. That means
