Il brought these potatoes from the
town founded by Horace Greeley,' he
said, as he entered the office of the
newspaper founded by Horace Greeley.
There were only two potatoes, but
they filled the basket in which they had
been carried to this city by George W.
Gale, engineer from Greeley, Weld
County, Col. One of them weighed two
pounds and ten ounces and the other was
a tritie lighter. Either looked large
enough to make meal for an average
family.
They are samples of what can be
grown in the soil of Colorado since the
irrigation preached by Mr.. Greeley has
changed that part of the country from
a barren waste to a bountiful garden,'
Mr.. Gale said. Il don't mean that all
of the potatoes grown out there are Of
the size of these, but some of them are
much larger. AS lett home in a hurry.

Bicycle with a Sail.

A SOLITARY bicycIist who passed through
the city yesterday attracted some attcn-
ton, says the Sioux City journal. 1t
was T. J. Berri, of Baraboo, Wis.
Berri has made the trip from that town
to Sioux City since the first of the month.
He is on the way to Silver City, Idaho
making the tour for his health. From
Sioux City he will follow the line of the
Union Pacific to Cheyenne.
He carries with him a contrivance of
his own invention which equips his wheel
with a sail when the wind is favorable
and under the pressure Of which he
travels with great speed. In talking Of
his trip he stated that there was one in
cident worthy Of remembrance TO him
at least.
1t was near Spirit Lake, when he had
his sail spread. He was making at least
ten miles an hour on smooth road, when
he was compelled to Cross a bridge over
a guich. Just as he reached the bridge,
one rail of which was gone, his sail was
twisted by whirl of the wind, and he
narrowly escaped being dashed to pieces
in the ravine below.

,iah- yah e.

These are the twelve letters Of the
Hawaiian language, with their pronunci-
alton: \ (ah), (a), (e), o (oh), o (co), a
(hay), k kay, ] Oah), m (moo), Il (noo), ?
,pay), (vay). There is 10 sound Of 81,
as in the English language, except whcte
"ai' follows "w," or as the Hawaiian
lady would insist, ''v." There is a great
difference in the language as spoken by
the high and low caste Hawaiians. The
low caste speak with succession of ex-
plosive, staccato gutturals; the high
caste with liquid flow that makes it Il
beautiful language. The insistence upon
the "v" instead of the ''w" sound is
considered, even by some of the edu-
Gated, and all of the uneducated, as
something ef an affectation.

tribution. When / refused, he told
me that / could stop down in the

he actually refused to allow me to 60

he meant anything more than joke,
and as / did not know the mine was

day. Such, however, was the case,
and although waited hour after hour,
no friendly shaft came to my rescue.
What had been first intended for q

rage by sheer forgetfulness, and I
spent a horrible night in intense
darkness and miserable dampness.
The horrors of that night with

impossible to account, can hardly be
realized, and IL it is anything like
what q prisoner suffers in solitary

been bidding for leasing. whose for
getfulness on this occasion cost him
