FAMED FOR GIANT POTATOES Dlstiict Just North of Denvor Has Es tablished Its Replication for the Succulent Vegetable. Wh'ii Horace Greeley gave the young men of America a loose foot by Buying, some decades ago: “Go West, young man,” he Incidentally succeeded .'.n getting a very tine brund of po tatoes named for himself, writes Wil liam G. Shepherd In the Saturday Eve ning Post. A group of men who went to the West at that time settled In a district north of Denver and east of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps, because they thought of nothing else to raise, they planted potatoes. About them, in tbe highlands, thv »mly wild potatoes in the United Stutes were growing luxuriantly. This district is similar climatically and otherwise to the highland district In Chile, where explorers are believed to have come across the potato for the first time. These Colorado wild potatoes prop agated themselves hy means of seeds, and it Is from the pods of these seeds that the Colorado potato experts get the material by means of which they have produced the Greeleyville potato. Eastern railroads, on which huge baked potatoes, served In the dining cars, have‘come to be strong allies of the ilhssenger agent and heavy draw ers of patronage, send to the Colorado district for the potato giants. Trans-; ContineuJ.nl railroads which use the northern route send men Into the Mon tana and Dakota fields to pick out, al most by hand, huge potatoes which have been grown from the Colorado seed. “SIMON PURE” A STAGE HERO Name of Hero of Popular Comedy Haa Become Synonymous for tho Genuine Article. The expression, "Simon Pure," mean ing “the real man,” hud its origin in tin name of a Pennsylvania Quaker in Mrs. Oentllvre’s comedy, "A Bold Stroke for a Wife.” Being about to visit London to attend the quarterly meeting of his sect, Amlnadab Hold fast sends a letter of recommendation and introduction by his friend, Simon Pure, to unother Quaker, who Is guard ian of Anne Lovely, a young lady re puted to have a fortune of f30,000. Colonel Felgnwell, another character in the same play, being enamored of Miss Lovely and her fortune, avails himself of an accidental discovery of the letter of Introduction and suc ceeds in passing himself off as Simon Pure. But virtue is triumphant In the end. Simon Pure appears with his witnesses and the scoundrelly Felgnwell is exposed. The play scored a great success, and the name of “Simon Pure” was grad ually applied to anything which was genuine and above imitation. Twilight Varies With Latitude, Twilight is the diffused illumination of the sky which immediately pre cedes sunrise and follows sunset. When the sun sets below 4he horizon we are not at once plunged into total dark ness. There is an Intermediate period of partial and slowly Increasing durk ness. That period Is twilight. It Is caused by the reflection of the sun light by dust and p"rtlcles of water vapor In the upper atmosphere. The same phenomenon occurs just before sunrise, and, to distinguish It from the evening twilight, Is called dawn. Dawn begins and twilight ends when the sun is about eighteen degress be low the horizon, and consequently their duration varies with the latitude and season of the year. The higher the latitude the smaller the angle at which the sun’B path meets the hor izon, and hence the longer it takes the sun to sink a distance of eighteen degrees below the horizon. In the tropics twilight rarely Is longer than thirty minutes, while In the north of Scotlund about the middle of summer there are several nights on which twi light tills the entire Interval between sunset and sunrise. Glue Stronger Than Steel. A new field for wood bus been opened by the use of what Is called ply-wood and glue made from the blood of the unlmals killed at the slaughter house and of the cusein, ob tained from milk. Bemurkable sturdiness under all con ditions lias been shown by Ihls com- , blnutlon. The combination was first thought of in connection with the man ufacture of airplanes. Thin sheets of wood are laid one over the other with dry sheets of pa per coated on both sides with the new glue. The muss Is then heated under pressure and the result Is that a structure is formed which Is strong er than steel and has many other ad vantages over metal. Panels were glued together with these and tested in boiling water for eight hours. At the expiration of thla time none of the pieces showed any separation of the piles. Seat ot the Troonle Herbert often complained shout the peculiar disposition of his small cousin, with whom hp could not gel along well After a recent disagree rnent he came Into the house out of patience and exclaimed: “Well, mother James and I might lust as well quit trying to be friends If he Is my cousin We lust can't agree He's too full of human nature." r - CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank the many friends who were so kind to us during the illness and death of our beloved wife, mother and sister; and also for the beauti ful floral offerings.
