TOO MUCH St : PATRICK.
AStovo Polish Vender Hits the High
Places in Celebration.
[ From Wednesday's Dally. ]
There was too much of St. Pactriok's
day in the life of ouo Irishman who
struck the town early in the morning.
Ho goes by the name of Jack and soils
steve polish or rather dosu't sell stove
polish torn living. Ho comes from
Sioux Oity when he comes , and be
caino with a rush yesterday. Jack re
members well the day that hiscountry's
patron saint dispelled the snakes from
the island , and he determined to cele
brate yesterday. Last night ho waa try
ing to repeat the performance nnd dis
pel the suakea from Norfolk , when 'an
ofllcor came upon him. At the door of
the cell room at the city jail , Jack took
a brace nud stood stock still in defiance
of the blue coated policeman. "You'll
nottakome In there 1" he declared.
"You may kill me , but I say yon won't
take ino in there alive 1" A little turn
on the wrist brought the polish vendor
behind the bars of an iron cage. He
looked up in a disgusted way and
stormed , "But you've fouled mo , sir !
You've fouled me ! "

the old fellow.
"Why don t yon stop this ? " asked

"I just can't got along without it ,

And ho went nway to borrow monoj
for his flue.wlth the warning that the

John O. Licey Describes its
Uses in the Era.
CHANCE FOR YANKEE GENIUS.
IF the Plant Could Produce a Means of
Conveyance It Would Answer all
Requirements of the Natlvo Mex
icans.
John 0. Licoy of Rlvor Styx , Ohio ,
formerly engaged in the practice of law
in Norfolk , contributes to the February
number of the Era Magn/.iuo an article
doboriptivo of "Mnxlco'8 wonder plant"
commonly known there as the nrgnvo or
maguey , but known to the people of the
north only nu the century plant that
growfl Indoors. It will bo remembered
that Mr. Licoy loft Norfolk for Mexico ,
Intent on making his fortune. Ho wns
overtaken by sickness and calamity ,
hovvBVor , nnd wns glad to return to his
old homo in Ohio. His article is exceed
ingly interesting , nicely illustrated
from photographs aud contains surpris
ing information regarding n plant the
value nnd uses of which nre little known
to the people of the north nud east *
Thousands of acres of Mexico land is
devoted to the development of this
plant and the plantations on which it is
grown nro valued at millions of dollars.
Its value to the people of Mexico may
be realized when it is known that it
provides food , drink , clothing and build *
lug material to n largo portion of the
population. Mr. Lioey expresses it that
if It "would but produce n horse , the
entire wants , needs nud desires of the
average Mexican would bo fully grati
fied. "
The plant in its native soil sometimes
attains a height of fifteen feet with n
corresponding spread of leaves. From
its sap is produced the standard Mex
ican beverage , pulque , nnd numerous
other drinks , docortations and delicacies
may bo derived. The sap is to the
people of Mexico what milk is to the
people of the north , nnd moro. Several
grades of liquor may bo made from it ,
pastry dishes nnd medicine are con
tained in the original mixture , requiring
only the proper development and right
proportions to produce the desired re
sults.
Then tbo leaves of the plant contain a
fiber which ia put to various usea by the
Mexicans and from its raw state may
be converted either into n suit of clothes
or a house , according to the needs of
the people. As nu article of commerce
it is of great importance the fibre being
of use in the manufacture of rope , cord
age , bagging , matting , hammocks and
other coarse textile stuffs. The ancient
Aztecs made from it n panor of fine ,
soft and lasting qualities , almost equal
to parchment. Because of the silica it
contains , which quickly brings steel tea
a fine edge , good razor strops nre made
from the Inner portions of the flower
stalk. The fibre of the plant is long ,
silky white and makes beautiful cord
age , apparently as strong as the Manila
hemp.
Mr. Licey thinks that there is oppor
tunity for Yankee genius in getting the
best commercial value out of the plaut.
The native process of getting the fibre
is blow and tedious , and he believes that
Yankee machinery should bo employed
to do the work. Great nreas of country
in the United States of little use from n
commercial or agricultural standpoint
might be devoted successfully to the
propagation of this plant. It requires
little moisture aud little cultivation nnd
nnrn nttd if. ia Hnlintrail tlinf fVia liifrli
nud dry lands of Texas , New Mexico ,
Arizona nnd southern California might
be devoted to the cultivation of this
valuable fibre plant , or "tree of won
ders" ns it is known to the peon classes
of Mexico.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamber

"When I had an attack of the grip
last winter ( the second ono ) I actually
.
berlain's Cough Remedy , " says Frank
W. Perry , editor of the Enterprise ,
Shortsville , N. Y. . "This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
nyself to pieces by taking a teaspoonfnl
of this remedy , and when the coughing
spell would come on nt night I would
take a dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and I would go to sleep perfectly
free from cough nnd its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted as
n most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or could kuook out the grip ,
simply because I had never tried it for
such n purpose , but it did , nnd it seemed
with the Eocond attack of coughing the
remedy caused it to not only be of less
duration , but the pains were far lesa
severe , and I had not used the contents
of ouo bottle before Mr. Grip had bid
mo adieu. " For sale by the Kiesan
