Another Big- Premium Offered at the
National Corn Exposition
The luitu who exhibits the best sixty
oars of corn at the National Corn Ex
position in Omaha December 9 19 gets
the moat valuable prize a Port Huron
Huskor Shredder worth 925 This is
by S25 the most costly premium of all
those that jo to make up tho premium
Sist aggregating 54000
This machine complicated in make-
up is the latest achievement in farm
machinery making It will eat up the
corn on fifteen to twenty acres a day
dusking the ears and shredding the
stalks producing a fine feed for stock
Or it will husk 1500 bushels of corn in
a ten hour day doing as much work as
Shree mon ordinarily merely in the
scatter of husking to say nothing of
She shieddiug which a man could not
do at all
Wilkes Jones general manager of
tho Corn Exposition is confident that
this premium alone will bo a magnet
that will draw many special exhibits
Tho fact that by the expenditure of
650000 the Port Huron Engine and
Threshing company has finally eliminat
ed the dangerous element of this mar
velous machine is counted on as making
it eyen more popular than it was when
dt was regarded as the most dangerous
of farm machines

TESTED AND PROVEN
There Is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well-
Earned Reputation
For months McCook readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doans Kidney Pills and read about
the good work they have done in this
locality Not another remedy ever pro
duced such convincing proof of merit
Samuel Garrett Main St Minden
Neb says My wife suffered from
kidney trouble for a number of years
-despite all her efforts for relief Dull
pains in the small of her back would at
times seize her and make it almost im
possible for her to move When she
stooped she would become very dizzy
and spots would appear before her eyes
She was restless at night and during
the day would feel tired and worn out
Last fall Doans Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention and I procured
a box for my wife advising her to use
them She did so and was restored to
health and strength
Plenty more proof like this from Mc
Cook people Call at L W McCon

A COLD BLOODED MONARCH
Louis XV and the Dead
Card Table A Woman

cons Play While

M2n at thn
Who
Lord
His Bride Waited
If the full story of the card table
could be written It would surely be
the most startling revelation of human
cupidity ever published and almost
every page of it would bo marked by
some incident which would outstrip
fiction
When Louis XV was at the card
table the fascination of the game made
him absolutely dead to all externals
and oven to decency and humanity
On one occasion when he was playing
for heavy stakes one of his opponents
overcome by excitement collapsed in
his chair in a fit of apoplexy nis
majesty affected to ignore the incident
until some one exclaimed M do Chan
velin Is ill 111 retorted the Icinr
casting a careless glance at the Ic
on man he Is dead Take him
Spades are trumps gentlemen
Equally weird is a story Oci iith
tells When the clergyman arrived to
prepare a lady parishioner who had a
passion for gambling for her approach
ing death the lady after listening for n
short time to his exhortation exclaim
ed Thats enough Now let us have
a game of cards To humor her the
parson consented to play The dyim
wninnn xvnii ill liis ninnor jind linil
just suggested playing for her funeral
iee wtieii sue ten uacu aiiu expireu
In the early years of last century a
whist club composed largely of clergy
men used to meet in the back room of
a barbers shop in a Somersetshire
town On one occasion so the story
runs when four of the club members
were acting as pallbearers at the fu
neral of a reverend brother some delay
occurred and the coffin was set down
in the chancel One of them produced
a pack of cards and suggested a rub
ber The coffin served the purpose of
a table and the players were deeply
immersed in the game when the sex
ton arrived to announce that every
thing was at last ready
Mazarins passion for gambling was
so strong even in death that he played
cards to the very end when he was so
weak that they had to be held for
him and the merry monarch spent
his last Sunday on earth playing at
basset round a large table with his
great courtiers and other dissolute
persons and with a bank of at least
2000 before him
The curious fascination cards possess
for their devotees is illustrated by the
following story of Lord Granvill at
the time ambassador to France One
afternoon when he was about to re
turn to Paris he repaired to Grahams
to have a farewell game of whist or
dering hi carriage to be at the door at
4 When it arrived he was much too
deep in the game to be disturbed At
10 oclock he sent out to say that ho
was not ready and that the horses had
better be changed Six hours later the
same message was sent out and twice
more the waiting horses were changed
before he consented to leave the table
after losing f 10000
An equally remarkable story is told
of George Payne the great turf plun
ger of seventy years ago On one occa
sion he sat down at Limmers hotel to
play cards with Lord Albert Denison
later the first Lord Londesborough
Ilour after hour passed The game
proceeded all through the night and
long after day dawned and it was not
until an urgent message came to tell
Lord Albert that his bride was waiting
for him at the altar of St Georges
Hanover square that the cards were
at last flung down It was Lord Al
berts wedding day and he met his
bride 30000 poorer than when lie left
her on the previous day
One of the most romantic of gam
bling stories is told by Mr Thiselton
Dyer of a plainly dressed stranger who
once took his seat at a faro table and
after an extraordinary run of luck
succeeded in breaking the bank
Heavens exclaimed an old infirm
Austrian officer who had sat next to
the stranger the twentieth part of
your gains would make me the happi
est man in the world lou shall
have it then answered the stranger
as he left the room
A servant speedily returned and pre
pented the officer with the twentieth
part of the bank adding My master
Fir requires no answer The
stranger was soon discovered to be
the king of Prussia in disguise
The most costly game of cards on
record was probably that in which the
late George McCulloch chairman of
the rroken Hill Proprietary company
once tool part A syndicate of seven
had been formed to finance the fa
mous Broken Ilill silver mine and Mr
McCulloch was one of the seven One
day while sitting in a shanty at the
foot of the hill- McCulloclu offered a
fourteenth share in tho mine to a
young man named Cox for 200
Cox would only offer 120 and after
much haggling it was decided to set
tle the dispute by a game of euchre
df Cox proved the winner he was to
have the share for 120 If he lost he
was to pay 1S0 for it He won and
Ifor the absurd sum of 120 became
owner of the share which a few years
later was valued at 1250000 Lon

largest and most complete exposition
of farm products ever made in this sec

Of course Corn will be King in this
panorama of agriculture but tho king

and so while tho corn palace will be
tho imperial court there will be other
palaces and other royal houses
There will be for instance an alfalfa
palace and this will be tho queens
palace for alfalfa shares tho throno
witii King Corn as his consort queen
This alfalfa palace will be fitted with
espneial attention to tho best display
of all grasses Many types of alfalfa
alone will be exhibited but species of
other grasses will be there too brought
from every state in tho west and mid
west In this collection of grasses it
will be possible to obtain a comparison
of the same grass in different soils
and under different climatic conditions
and these comparisons aided by scien
tific lectures by the best men of the
country will enable tho farmer to get
all there i3 out of the subject
It is the intention to make tho alfalfa
palace then second only in importance
to the corn palace but if it shares in
terest with the latter on an equal basis
there will bo no surprise among the
men who are creating these displays
