Old Hotel Names
(From the Boston Transcriptl

H E4OA Tx A1ObtOA A~A9NA HI II .a.n
The old American Honse, on Hanover
Street, which gave up the ghost after sixty
five years OF continuous service as a hotel,
was the parent of a thousand american
Houses" all over the country. The name
itself was older than that; the building, still
virtually intact, erected in 1861, had had q
predecessor on the same spot, to which the
name American House had been given In
1885. In the years which were the high noon
of the nineteenth century no new town was
opened up in Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska or
California without its American House, cal
led after our original. That was the period
of famboyant, sp~read-eagIeism which was
satirized in Dickens Martin Chuzzlewit,"
and of which Hon. Elijah Program was the
shining example. English names for hotels,
such as the Westminster, the Windsor, the
Victoria, the Buckingham, and so on, were
then decidedly at a discount. 1t was the
period which gave us such names as the
American, the United States, the Revere
House, the Eagle Hotel. 1t followed the
epoch of fantastic and picturesque old titles
such as the Blue Bell, the Indian Queen,
the Red Lion, the Green Dragon, the Blue
Anchor and the Bunch Of Grapes. all Of
which had their names from the sign which
swung before their doors.

Peru Gave Us the Potato

(From the National Geographic Magazine)
The gold Of the Indies was the attraction
that led Columbus to sail westward, that
carried Gortez to Mexico and Pizarr0 TO
Peru. The Incas had large stores Of the
precious metal, representing, no doubt, the
accumulation of many centuries. The cap
ture Of such a booty resounded through
Europe. Spain became for a time the
wealthiest az we'll as the most powerful
nation of Europe, and his was ascTihed
to the gold Of Peru.
But Peru had another treasure much more
valuable for the nations Of Europe than the
golden booty of Pizarro. Carrying the pQ-
tato to Europe was an event Of much more
profound significance in relation to the sub
seduent history of the world than sending
the Inca gold to the Golfers of Spain. But
nobody understood the value Of the potato,
and its, Peruvian origin was generally for
gotten, Instead Of Peruvian potatoes we
call them Irish potatoes.
The potato was the basis Of the ancient
Peruvian nation and has attained almost
the same importance In other parts of the
world within the last hundred years.
The land which has enriched the osages
was not of their own choosing. When It was
assigned to them as a reservation they OBJ
sected To moving upon It, say that 1t was
the least desirable portion Of the Indian
Territory. The treasure beneath the soil
was not discovered until years afterward.
It's development was dile to the white man;
1t conservation to their adFantage, to the
government. The moral for the seeker aft
er wealth, II there Is one IN this, Is first
have luck, then, a good guardian.
