Horace Greeley's injunction to the youth of his day to "go west" was no more earn est than that given the other night by the members of the Commercial club and their guests, who returned from a two weeks' trip to Cuba, urging the business opportunities in the "Pearl of the Antil les" to the young men of Chicago. Cuba IU possibilities In agriculture, manufacturing and general business formed the toplo for enthusiastic talk on the part of the thirty representative busi ness men who assert that in addition to having their eyes opened to th future of the Island they had "the time of their lives socially."

NEBRASKA FERTILITY OUTDONE Handle of aa Old Pnraaol Sprouts In Pennsylvania and Grows Into a Tree. The handle of an old parasol, which has taken root In the ground and grown Into a tree In the yard of Joseph Wiener, In York, Pa., is attracting attention from naturalists and men of science. Incredible as It may eeem, there are a score of rep utable residents who testify to the truth fulness of the statement that the tree really sprang from the parasol handle. But for fear of vandals the curiosity would be transplanted to one of the public squares. " In 1865 a parasol was presented to Mis Susan Shuey. Miss Shuey afterward mar ried Jacob Kohler and still resides In this county. She kept the parasol until It be came useless as a sunshade and stored it In an attic. More than fifteen, years ago she resurrected the handle and used It as a fly brush handle at Emlg's Grove camp. After a fire which wiped out the camp the handle became part of the salvage. In the following spring Mrs. Kohler util ized the handle to support a rose In her dooryard. Several months afterward It was discovered that It had taken root and sprouted. It became an object of curios ity for the entire countryside, and people came mllea to see It. One night some one attempted to carry It off, and succeeded In tearing away, a number of branches. About this time Mrs. Kohler moved away from York and she Intrusted the "para sol tree." as It had begun to be called, to th care of Mr. and Mrs. Wlsner, who have carefully transplanted it to their own yard and have nourished It ever sine. While this part of the story Is not aa re liably vouched for aa la that of the sprout ing of the parasol handle Itself, It la as serted that on the night of Mr. Kohler's death the metal spring which had re mained In the handle throughout all these years, fell off. The handle continued to thrive, and Is now quite a respectable young tree. Each summer It bears beautiful little star-shaped flowers, something like forget-me-nots, and berries. Th latter never ripen, but shrivel before maturity. Cincinnati Enquirer. toinflsS S01 All go l ivIMm at VV"' As Salo on Uain Floor Shoo Dept.
