INCREASING POTATO CROP.
Growers Pay Too Little Attention to
the Seed They Use.

Washington.-The American potato
grower is charged with paying too lit
tie attention TO the selection of seed
potatoes by the department of agricul-
ture in a statement declaring that by
the use of high grade seed the returns
from the crop would be increased by
many millions of dollars
The increase that might be expected
from the use Of high grade seed is con
servatively estimated at not less than
10 per cent. Such an increase. based
on the average production or the aver
age production Of the last five years,
says the statement. would amount Ia
over 100000 bushels. having an APP
proximate value Of $21000. 600.
OF the many causes which operate to
produce low average potato yield in
the United States, it is pointed out. i'm
pure seed is an important one. Euro
pean potato growers. especially those
Of Great Britain and Germany. pay the
strictest attention to the quality of the
seed used

BABY TALK BREAKS
HIS LONG SILENCE
SpO-Pe, Indian of Mystery,
Speaks For First Time.

Washington the Indian man
of mystery, an inmate of the criminal
division of the Government Hospital
For the Insane at Washington, has
broken a silence Of more than thirty
two years
Sp0-Pe's self imposed disuse of his
talking apparatus has continued ever
since the first day of his incarceration
at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, ia 1882
AdJudged of unsound mind at the fort.
he was sent to the government hospital
in 1882. His silence was accepted by
the army medical examiners as a con.
vincing symptom of melancholia
The crime for which the Indian
was imprisoned was the murder of
fur trader, an act of reprisal against
the white race for the killing of his
mother in one of the hostile inter
changes between the United States
troops and the Blackfoot Indians in
1879.
1t remained for Mrs. Malcolm Clark.
one Of party of members of the Black
foot tribe. herself a halfbreed. to re-
awaken Spo-Pe's slumbering vocal or
gans.
Times without number during his in
generation efforts have been made to
persuade Spo-Pe to talk. Not a syl.
liable. not even a grunt, has the aged
warrior volunteered.
But when Mr. and Mrs. Clark in
company with James Perrine and
Charles W. Buck. paid a visit to the
insane hospital they explained TO the
superintendent that they had under,
stood there was an Indian among the
inmates
Mrs. Clark had Spo-Pe pointed out TO
her With her husband she addressed
him in the stilted but eloquent Indian
tongue. Spo-Pe gave no indication
that he understood Then Mrs. Clark
said to her friends, step back. let me
whisper to him."
She sat down beside the solemn red
man and began a musical form of baby
talk. the language of little people" as
the Indians call il. She crooned and
crooned to the gray headed man until
finally the stolid heart seemed to melt
What is your name?" she said. still
In the infant dialect.
"Spo-Pe," came from the lips Of the
stole. And for the first time since he
entered the hospital Spo-Pe had broken
his silence.
Finding that his tongue would really
perform its office, Spo-Pes drst gues-
ton was:
Where is Three Bears?'
Three Bears was brother x the In
dian who died In 1855
Since the breaking of the thirty-two
years silence Spo-Pe has expressed
willingness to discourse. but as the
Blackfoot language is not universally
known in the government hospital he
finds considerable difficulty in obtain
ing companionship.

The Sarcasm of a Missouri Senator

/ The Sarcasm of Missouri Senator
AS the different appropriation bills
appear IN the two Houses OF Congress.
the subject of voting money for auto
mobiles to be used for government pur-
poses, has something of the same af-
feet on Capitol Hill as the waving of a
red tag upon certain of the bovine
species. II matters not whether these
automobiles are to be used in betterlng
the service. The conclusion is always
jumped at that the different Depart
ments desire automobiles principally
for joy riding purposes. In reference
to supplying this class of vehicles for
the Department of Agriculture, Sena-
tor Reed of Missouri SAID; The utiliza-
ton OF automobiles for the purpose OF
pu tting out fire, carrying hog-cholera
serum. or running down the Egyptian
moth must be very limited The Sen
ator declared tha5 a constant. a con-
sistent. ana eternal and everlasting"

ment to ride around at the govern
ments expense He added that these
same officials would Ike to have "a
government motor boat, an automobile.
a bicycle and a flying machine. There
is no man in the Senate that can ex-
press hia disgust more caustically than
this same Mr.. Reed of Missouri, and
he put on the finishing touches in dis
cussing the above matters. In view of
the tact that the time of the Senate
is sentImentaliy invaluable, and from
financial standpoint, costs many
hundreds of dollars an hour, 1t seems
strange that upon former occasion
this great body spent nearly two days
debating the question of buying a new
automobile for the Vice President, at
ter which the proposition was voted
down, This in the tace Of the tact that
the head of every Department in
Washington either has team or two
teams of horses. or an automobile. Mr..
Reed referred to this matter ana sug.
gested that if the Agricultural Depart
ment should get what 1t was after,
that it might appoint the Vice Presi.
dent purveyer in chief of hog.cholera
and serum and transfer to him the use
of AN automobile.
