RUBBER-PRODUCING WEED.

Denver News.

Denver News.
Since the discovery Of the Colorado rub
ist, a few months ago. it has been found
that the mesas and valleys in this section
Of the State are literally covered with the
weed 1t grows abundantly in the San
Luis valley, and has been hitherto consid-
cred a nuisance by residents Of that section.
Numerous specimens can be found growing
anywhere in the vicinity OF Salida. No
enc had ever dreamed that 1t possessed any
intrinsic value. and it's determination would
have been brought about long ago If such
a thing had been possible.
Ranchmen in this section OF the State say
the plant is one OF the most obnoxious weeds
they have ever had TO deal with In con-
nection with sheep-raising. When the ten
der plant springs up the sheep eat 1T. and
death is invariably the result Of digesting
the quantity of rubber by even a sheep.
The botanical name Of the plant is the
"Actenalla Richardson" and 1t grows on
the desert lands of Colorado. It has been
recently ascertained that Salida and Sa-
guache are In the midst of the greatest
belt of the weed in this State.
c. p. Fox. of Akron, o., representing
Eastern rubber concern and correspondent
for q London magazin devoted to the rub
ber industry, is here at present investigat-
ing the growth and characteristics of the
plant at the instance of Eastern rubber
dealers.
Some of the plants grow to a height of
six feet, and thrive best where irrigation
can be obtained. 1t seems to be of sage
brush nature, and has that peculiar taste.
1t is said that seven varieties grow In the
State, and experiments are now under way
to ascertain which Of these would be the
most valuable in connection with their culti-
walton for rubber production.
The chemical process for extracting the
gum is as follows: First crush or grind the
root to a pulp, and then treat for about
twenty-four hours in bisulphide Of carbon,
after which the solution is evaporated. The
same result can be obtained by the use OF
benzine, which would probably be the more
economical treatment as the benzine can
be cleaned and used again and again.
The plant here grows from the seed and
bears a small yellow flower 1t lasts through
several seasons and is Of a very hardy
growth. The older plants have large roots,
which are covered with thick fiber to pro-
tect them from the rigors Of winter. The
younger plants are richer in rubber than
the old.
At this time the Para rubber plantations
of South America cannot meet the demand
for rubber in this country. Parties holding
stocks in the rubber importing and manu-
featuring concerns are realizing enormous
dividends. If the cultivation and manu-
facture Of this plant becomes practicable,
1t will add immeasurably to the commercial
resources Of Colorado.

The Thrift of "Uncle RUSSELL"
New York Commercial.

Russell Sage's grim sense of humor is
aptly illustrated in story told by q
Western Massachusetts, summer visitor-a
New Jersey woman. who once had occasion
to call on the famous financier in his New
York office in the interests OF a church
fund. New York business and professional
men had responded to the cause literally,
and Mrs. Sage had subscribed SIS. 1t was,
therefore, with more or less assurance that
the soliciting delegation waited on Mr..
Sage. He received his visitors courteously,
inquired into the specific purposes Of the
fund. and was apparently deeply interested.
He glanced down the subscription book,
noted the name of Mrs. Sage was among
the contributors, and. renarking that he
would see what he could do, retired TO his
private Office. Returning to the outer Office,
he handed his visitors the subscription
book and bowed them out. The hearts OF
the soliciting committee futtered as they
eagerly opened the book to learn the ex-
tent of Mr.. Sage's benefaction. The shrewd
financier, however, had given nothing but
his time. To his wife's signature he had
prefxed Mr.. and the s25 subscribed by
Mrs Sage being designated as the contri-

Look Much older Than They Really
Are-Cars and Worry Does II.


Are-Cars and Worry Does II.
Detroit Free Press.
Why so many old-looking young women
these days? This was the query OF we'll
to-do young matron a few days ago.
After giving the subject some thought
determined to answer the young moth
er's questions more fully than at the time
at an age when he thinks 1t time for him
to marry and settle down. He looks about
him and makes a choice. The girl selected
is invariably better educated, better reared
and more refined than he is. This young
couple are not very we'll off as to the
things Of this world, and Of course are am
bilious to accumulate a comfortable for
tune. The young husband soon becomes
avaricious enough to allow hfis wife to
become his most devoted drudge.
From this time on this poor woman's
life is one or the most unremitting toll. She
cooks and bakes. she washes and irons,
she churns, saws wood and washes the
dishes, makes the bed end sweeps the
floors, and one thousand and other things
soon own the house and lot and perhaps
buggy and horse. But the cares OF his
ton. The family enlarges and the measles.
whOoping cough, malaria and summer COM
plant get In their work until the little
trundle beds and cribs are all full OF sick
babies. The only wonder Is that the moth
er does not sink under the weight of this
everlasting drudgery. But she doesn't;
only few more wrinkles, little more
pallor and shrinkase and shrivel.
We all know that this is wrong, and
the foundation Of the wrong is in that
avaricious spirit that makes the dollar the
standard Of respectability. 1t Is work and
worry that makes tho women of this and
every other community grow old and with
cred and sallow and nervous and broken
down twenty years before their time, and
frequently give place to a second wife to
come In and share the property that the
first accumulated and should have enjoyed
through quiet old age Of healthy rest and
enjoyment.

There is no doubt, according to the Lon
