Indomitable cheerfulness.

That a man can remain cheerful
though imprisoned for a crime he did

letters that Mr.. o. Henry wrote to his

Again he wrote: II hope your watch
runs all right. When you write again
be sure to look at 1t and tell me what
time it is, so l won't have to get up
and look at the clock" And in an
other note: "Be careful when you are

TWO RivaIs Of the "spud." )"

Two new vegetables have been
propagated at the Missouri botanical
garden at st. Louis. it was announced
by DIR. George T. Moore, director of the
garden.
One has been named the "arraca-
cha" and the other the "dasheen."
Both resemble the potato and are said
to be about equal in food value to it.
Doctor Moore explained the arraca-
cha, when cooked. is bit darker than
the sweet potato and tastes like the
parsnip. 1t is a rapid grower. he said.
Dasheens, cooked in cream. taste
like caullfiower, and when baked have
the flavor Of roasted chestnut. Doc
tor Moore amplified. They are related
to the Egyptian taro, commonly refer
red to as the elephant ear" Doctor
Moore said.
The announcement was made to del
egates who attended the convention OF
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. which ended
