in shop: but wen it was brot home he
looked at it and skewcezcd it, but it
didn't suit. So the man he wrote a
letter to the bird man, and said:
"Dear sir: | take my pen in hand

Truly were visitants divine, whom they

And from them came these angel flowers
where none had bloomed before.
Mute tokens that in countless ways theil

Marking each erstwhile barren spot abou

Where angel pinions softly poised ant
angel footsteps strayed.

TIE ORIGIN OF BLUE GRASS.
NOT ORIGINALLY A KENTUCKY fRo-
prCT. FoRITCAMEFRoM INDIANA.

DUCT, FOR 1T INDIANA
indianapolis journal.
II notice by the papers that some
body in the south part Of the State
wants to know where blue grass first
started" said Prof. John Collett, eX-
State g~cologist.
"a great many people contend that
il wat found in Kentucky, but this is
not so. Blue grass is a native Of the
Wabash valley in Indiana. 1t was
found by William Henry Harrison's
troops during the solemn march to
TippecanOe in 1911. Harrison gather
ed Il small army at Ohio falls and
started north. At Vincenncs the gal
liant heroes realized that they could
not go 200 miles up the Wabash with
out feed for their horses. Gen. llar-
rison had two cribs of corn at Tcrrc
Haute and persuaded the men to go
on. As they came on with hungry
horses and scant feed they found the
ground covered with blue grass. Six
miles west Of Newport, on the Collett
farm. was found a bountiful supply
of blue grass. Some places in the
bottom it was growing three feet high
and such feed had never been heard
of by the Kentucky soldiers. At State
Line City more blue grass was found
and from there to Tippecanoc the
the whole line of march was covered
with bluegrass. The seed was carried
back to Kentucky aud sown there,
but did they not make it thrive in the
warm soil and it had to be sOwn with
oats and rye. Mr.. Sandusky, the
father Of the present family of that
name, told me in an early day that ne
blue grass grew in Kentucky unit
after it was imported from Indiana
Tom Downing, OF Tcrre Haute, wa
an ardent admirer of Henry Clay, ant
once went to visit him at his hom'
near Ashland. Ky. After seeing tn
fine farm, well set in blue grass
Downing suggested that Mr.. Clay lc
him have some Of the seed to tax
back to Indiana.
"'Tom, don't make a fool Of your
self" said Clay, the %grandsirc c
Kentucky blue grass is grown
around your house and in the fcnc
corners of your fields. We got th
seed from Tcrre Haute and the middl
Wabash, and after a hard struggle 90
it to grow here in its present luXt
riousncss.'"

The Elko Independent and the

spat about where the New Year
number of the latter paper (which
by the way is a very creditable one)
was printed. 1t seems the paper
was printed in San Francisco, and
Mr.. Booher SO stated. This did not
set we'll on the ISdings and it made
some impertinent remarks. The
Ratchet has been buried now, how
ever. At the last session of the
Legislature the writer and one or
two other newspaper men managed
to have law made in regard to
newspaper preservation and to bar
all half-shell papers from receiving
public patronage. No paper that
was in whole or part printed else
where than at its place OF business
could receive public work. The
allwise Supreme Court of this State
finally decided, aft after, the Il law was
made, that it was unconstitutional,
because it hurt d few papers of the
Republican stripe: The Silver Party
men took their medicine and the
Repubs took the work. The law
was the best one, generally, for the
papers of the State that was ever
passed, and not only for the papers
but the public generally.
