Developed by Cultivation.

All our garden vegetables are mere
~ types improved by long cultivation
of wild species. The. wild cabbage is
common , enough in places by the sea,
but is Of no use for food in it's wild
state. Indeed, it will take a botanist
to tell that. it was a cabbage at all.
Scotland owes the cabbage to Crom-
wells soldiers. The caulihower is
but 2 cultivated improvement on the
cabbage. It was brought to perfection
in Cyprus and was very little known
until about q century ago. The pars-
nip is another native Of this country.

A City Built in Two Days.


There never was such another cOun-
try as this in the celebrity with which
plans are made and carried into effect
Think of city built in two days!
That is what happened in 1857 on the
line of the Union Pacific railroad in
Wyoming. In that year the company
decided to move its shops and estab-
lish a new town. The site chosen was
on the plains, where there was neither
tree nor stone. Every other lot in
the town was to be given free to the
person who would build house. The
day after the offer was made, the rail-
way had difficulty in moving all the
people who wanted one of those lots.
Free trains were run from as far east
as Chicago, and in 48 hours 1000 peo-
pie were on the ground scrambling for
a place to construct a home. AS fast
as a location was secured, the building
of a home began. A good many of the
houses were Of & the knock down.
style Of architecture. They could be
folded up and hauled in wagon, and
some Of the settlers had brought these
houses with. them. = For a year the
railroad company continued to give
away lots. There were no paved
streets nor sidewalks. A man who
had a home on a roadway where the
sod had been scraped up in ridge in
the center regarded himself as an arts
tocrat. The city is standing to-day,
but it is larger and more substantial,
and the knock down" houses have
given place to something finer. It now
bears the name Of Cheyenne. >

The Broadway theatre district had an excit-

ing their audiences late last night Rogers, Peet
& Co.'S store, at Thirty -second-st and Broad
way, caught fire. and burned for minutes
before the firemen put out the blaze. The ap-

Damage to the extent of $1,000 was caused by
the fire, which started in the storage room on
the top floor of the three story building at No
1.26S Broadway, not the corner store The
cause is unknown. The fremen could not get
by Daly's Theatre for several minutes because
of the crush of cabs and people. but they soon
