Show for Sinhtseers

When President Roosevelt was go
ing from Oyster Bay to Washington
recently he and his party passed
through Thirty-fourth street, the chief
executive bowling and smiling to those
who saluted him.
AS the mounted policemen who rode
ahead reached Thirty-fourth street a
big automobile with sightseers drew
up on the north side of the street tc
let the carriages pass.
Suddenly the man with the mega.
phone yelled out:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Here
comes the president of the United
States. l was one of his Rough Riders
and arranged it with him to get here
at the same time as this machine
You see we are strictly up to date"
The passengers grinned, but the
grin changed to puzzled expression
when, as the barker shouted, Hello
Colonel; you see I'm on deck" the
president bowed and smiled cordial
ly. They were not aware that he
would do the same to any one who had
the nerve to salute him as did the
bogus Rough Rider.

ASPARAGUS LONG A FAvoRlTE.
Records Date Back Almost to Begin
nino of Authentic History.


ming Of Authentic History.
Of all food plants there is none
which has been so long known or been
possessed Of SO distinguished line
age as the asparagus. It's records
reach back almost to. the beginning
OF authentic history, and it is men
toned by the comic poet Cratinus,
who died about 425 B. C. The Ro-
mans held the vegetable In high es-
TEEN. The elder Cato wrote work
which is still extant, de re Rustica, .
and 1t treats at length of the virtues
and proper cultivation of asparagus.
Pliny. in his natural history, written
about so A. D., has much to say about
1t. He feelingly observes: "Of ali
the products of your garden your chief
care should be asparagus" and he de-
votes several chapters to its many
good qualities and the best methods
OF raising it. He asserts that the soil
about RaVenna was so favorable to
its production that three heads grown
in that district had been known to
weigh Roman pound. This pound
seems to have been about equal to
eleven ounces in our day, so 1t would
apparently have taken four of the
stalks to have reached a pound of our
weight.
The asparagus being essentially
southern plant, it is possible that the
stock growing in Italy was of more
vigorous growth than that of our
northern cline. 1t is found all around
the shores of the Mediterranean and
branches off into four or five distinct
species besides the one ordinarily
used for edible purposes.

Charged with Bribing Kelly to
Leave the Country.

st. Louis, July 23.-Col. Edward

dence, were protected by the statute

"ths man higher up" who also figure
in the confessions Of Kelly and former
Delegates Charles A. Gutke. were not
