The Omnipresent Rose,

Every continent on the globe, with
the exception Of Australia. produces
wild roses. There can be little doubt
that the rose is one of the Oldest flow
ers in the world, perhaps grown from
the wind blown seeds in paradise. In
Egypt it is depicted on numbers of
early bas-reliefs, dating from 5000 to
$500 B. c. Rosewater. or the essence of
roses, is mentioned by Homer in the
'Iliad." and the flower is spoken Of in
the Proverbs of Solomon.

The Detroit times., 1908-11-28

On Sunday. Aug. Q, 1908, we
assigned to one OF our 1909 mod
el "3os' the stupendous task OF
going 200 miles a day for 100 con-
secutive days-four round trips
daily between the Pontchartrain
Hotel. Detroit. and the Hodges
House. Pontiac-an exact dist
ance of 2oS miles day.
There were many who said the
task was too big.
They did not know the car that
had undertaken the task.
on Tuesday. november II, 1908, the
now famous car completed its one hun
dredth Double Century run in as many
days, thereby establishing record
that has never been equaled and prob
ably will never be surpassed.
On the following day after making
one extra trip to Pontiac, the record
setting go" was welcomed into the
city in triumph by Mayor VIM. b..

Mayor Thompson. on behalf OF the
Pontchartrain Hotel. presented to the

Buried For Twenty
Minutes and Lives
To Tell the Story

LANSING. Mich, Nov. 2s.-Floyd
Calvin. III Chestnut-st. south, has had
the peculiar experience OF having been
buried under mass Of dirt for 20
minutes and still living to tell the
tale.
Calvin was working In sewer
trench near gas power plant. The
excavation was several feet deep but
had no timber props and the rain CT
the night before had undermined the
earth. without warning a huge mass
OF dirt caved In and buried CALVIN
completely.
For twenty minutes a party OF Ia
borers and volunteers worked like
beavers TO extricate Calvin and when
he was finally taken from the trench
he was unconscious and nearly dead
from sufrocation. Physicians worked
over him for some time but IL was
several hours before he regained con-
seriousness and this morning IL was
reported that he was recovering nice
" from the effects OF his terrible ex-
perience.
Calvin is said TO possess strong
vitality and this Is probable all that
kept him alive during the 20 minutes
he was completely buried.
