Ben Franklin's keenness.

Two incidents recall the keenness
and the thoroughness- the great twin
abilities. to see and to utlize--Of Ben
Franklin. One day he CHANGED to OBJ
serve a lady in the possession Of an
imported whisk broom. With his usual
interest and careful consideration he
examined it as novelty. He discov.
cred on the brush of the broom seed
which he carefully removed. Present
ly he planted it. and the growth from
this seed was the first crop of broom
corn in this country. Again one day
when DR.. Franklin was walking by
Dock creek he saw stuck in the mud
wickerwork basket. which had sprout
ed. Carefully he fished out the basket
and carefully took it apart. He gave
cuttings to his friend. Charles Norris
who planted the twigs in his garden
where they grew to great size. They
turned out to be yellow willows and
as Franklin had forpseen. proved OF
great commercial value.
