ORIGIN OF A POPULAR ROSE.

for the American Beauty.
A florist with extensive lighthouses in
Lake View gives the information that
George Bancroft, Americas greatest
historian, was the first producer of the
American beauty rose There is quite
a story behind the way in which that
flower sprang into popularity" he said
the other day. George Bancroft, in
addition to his historical studies, was
considerable OF naturalist, and was
particularly interested in flowers.
Roses were his hobby, and he raised a
great many of them-not in haphaz-
ard way, but with scientific insight
into their possibilities and a constant
view to their Improvement When he
succeeded in producing the American
beauty it became known to quite a
wide circle that he had hit upon very
beautiful flower, and one night the
plant was stolen, by whom it was never
learned. The flower was taken to
France, where it soon achieved a wide
popularity, under the name of the
American beauty. Its claims We" ,s

The old gentleman's yawn was too
demonstrative and he did not mean to

The Farm Beats the 1ortksgss
There is a story from Buffalo County
going the rounds that illustrates the
resources Of q Nebraska farm: A farm
er up there from Missouri got discour-
aged because he didn't get rich the first
year, and as there was mortgage OF
500 on his farm, was about ready to
jump the whole business, but deter
mined to make one more effort and
sowed eighty acres in wheat. 1t hap
pened to be poor year for wheat and
the stand was not very good. Conclud-
ing that it wasn't worth harvesting he
pulled up his stakes and moseyed back
to Missouri. leaving the farm to fight
the mortgage all by ITSELF The farm
was equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow lus-
tily. Some OF the neighbors were hon
est enough to write about it down te
the fugitive in Missouri, and he got In
terested enough to come back and take
look. Then he stopped and harveste
his voluntary crop. He sold 1t TO-
enough to pay off the mortgage and

hands, feet, legs and arms were twice

was evident that McHugh's lungs were
leaking. This, according to the phi i
clan, became more evident when it was
seen that with each breath the rotund
portions rose and fell. In speaking OF

peas IN cottage garden. She was
taking her work in leisurely fashion,
sitting on three-legged stool with her
oaske. in her lap, and gathering the
pump pods as they dangled close to
her hand. The vines grew high that
year, and the little maid as she sat was
almost hidden in the green valley: not
SO much hidden, however, but that a
not and flustered police officer saw her
as he tramped heavily up the path, and
olurted out an abrupt question
Where's the young fellow gone to-"
She looked up with a pair of TRANQUIL
blue eyes, growing round with aston
lshment as she repeated after him, in
a strong country accent
Young fellar? What young fellar
dye mean?"
She looked so fresh and so pretty,
and the yellow fringe which peeped out
from under her cap was so infantile in
its innocent simplicity. that Mr.. James
Brown felt a momsntary impulse. in
spite of his Illustration, to chuck her
under the cool rounded chin, and even
perhaps help himself to a kiss from
her red lips. If he hadn't been so hot
and so worried-where the dickens
could that young rip have got to?-he
would certainly have taken advantage
of his opportunities AS it was he pur-
sued his investigation and resisted the
temptation.
"A young fellar in light tweed suit
he was making straight for here" he
explained. Il saw him before me over
the fields not ten minutes ago. and I'll
swear hardly lost sight of him. He
must be in the house: there isn't an
other place this way-not even a shave
of wood to hide him-and Smith and
Marley would have stopped him further
down. He must be in the house.
Maybe, We can ASK" retorted the
damsel indifferently, reaching out her
hand towards a group Of pods, as if
dismissing the subject.
The officer went his way, with just
another admiring glance at the pretty
figure in the charming green avenue.
