JUST POTATOES.
His name is j. Grove and be lives on
his own farm in the kaw valley Of
Kansas.
Grove is colored man.
He came up to Kansas in that
strange exodus from the cotton states
which some would be philanthropist
introduced as the solution OF the race
problem.
Many OF these colored people. after
working for a time on their little
patches of ground. drifted into the
towns or left the state.
Grove stayed.
He worked as a hired hand. And
this was observed of him-that he
would work only where potatoes were
grown. He seemed obsessed with the
potato notion. He studied potatoes.
talked potatoes. dreamed potatoes
Now it is good thing to have a
practical hobby and ride it whenever
you can get astraddle.
Grove had saved little money. and
he rented a few acres and started rails
ing potatoes his way.
That venture-it was twenty years
ago-came near breaking Groves back
financially. He raised the finest po-
tatoes in the Kaw valley. but unfortu-
nately the price was SO low there was
secrecy enough to pay for the rent
and the seed.
Nevertheless
Next year Grove had another crop of
potatoes. Potatoes were scare. and he
got a big price. He bought his acres
and rented more ground.
The fat and the lean years seemed
to alternate. and Grove kept on in the
potato business.
Now, should you ever happen to be
In the vicinity of Edwardsville, Kan.
be sure to visit Groves big potato
farm.
You will see more power machines
for planting, blowing. digging and
sorting potatoes than you ever dream
ed of. In the busy season you will see
white men working Groves ma
chinery.
And the neighbors say it will take at
least six figures to represent Groves
wealth.
Where did he get It?
Just potatoes.
There are lot Of things that Grove
does not know, but he knows how to
raise potatoes in the Kaw valley bet
ter than any other man, and he knows
he knows 1t.

SHOCKED THE GUIDE.
Antics Of an lrreverent Visitor at the
National Capitol.

National Capitol.
A 0g man with fierce. bristling
gray beard and wearing broad brim
med SLOUGH hat marched down the
main corridor of the capitol. closely
followed by guide at a doStrot.
They had inspected statuary hall and
the rotunda and looked in ut the cham
Der Of the supreme court. and the Wis
itor had made no other comment on
the sights shown him than to utter an
occasional grunt. snort or growl.
The big man paused at the end Of
the corridor and jerked his head to-
ward carpeted passage.
whats them burglars doing to-
day." he demanded.
The senate is not in session. sir"
said the guide in shocked voice.
After the visitor had departed the
guide sat down on his chair ia front Of
the statue Of Daniel Webster aud
mopped his heated brow
That's one kind that comes here
he said. We have all kinds. but his
style is the hardest to deal with.
Called the senate burglars-you heard
him-and he kicked at everything else
showed him. That kind comes pre-
pared to kick. They amt got no pa
triotism at all. and United States
senator amt no more to them than a
doorkeeper. Why. I'm afraid to take
men like him into the supreme court.
Likely as not they'll say something
1srespectful right out loud. Do you
know what that one said when l show
ed him statuary hall? He says, who
are all these crooks? Then be wanted
to know how much all them statues
cost the government and who got the
rakeofr. I told him they were given
by the states. and he said that was
once when the states put one over.
You wouldn't think" said the guide
with a sigh, that patriotic Americans
could come here and be so callous
about the things they see. They seem
to begrudge giving a dollar to be shown
the place where Webster stood when
he made his reply to Hayne. l don't
know what the country's coming to
I've been guide here twenty years
but l never thought I'd live to hear
the senate called burglars. "-Washing

tude say seven thousand feet, there

of such a flying ship would make it
impossible to alight on land. Har-

detect the faintest odor of smoke In

school I attended was of the military
variety. and smoking was rather Sc
rious offense. No matter how much a
room had been aired or famed with
wet towels previous to the inspection.
the offender was always caught.
AFTER had received my finishing

so bold as to inquire from what pc

ability was given to detect one mole
cuie of smoke In hundred cubic feet
of pure air. The old boy smiled and,
binding me to secrecy, impaired the
reason of his wonderful ability. Then
he took me 10 boys vacated room
and told me to wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with 1t and sniff. Lo and
behold. where before there seemed
no faint in the atmosphere was now
detected that smell of old tobacco
