FIRST VENTURE OF Upton
Friend Tells How He Took Chance
With Patrons of a Rundown
Grocery.

Dr. J. II. Ostrander, a personal friend
of Sir Thomas Upton, told recently for
the first time the story of Lipton's ini-
tial business venture, an exchange
states.
Lipton's first business venture was
an event in one little corner of Glas-
cow. He bought for few pounds a
sorry old rundown provision shop that
had changed hands score of times ;
everybody had failed. 1t was in a
neighborhood where profits were mea.
ger and housewives close traders. and
where sharp practice and Indifferent
ethics precluded credit. So when Lip
ton announced that he would trust any
decent neighbor once all foresaw his
doom.
Upton, however, did not mean that
he would carry accounts 30 days, for
az this period five such accounts would
have swamped him. AS he himself put
1t: I'm misfortune will carry any de-
cent chap till Saturday night. 1 will
be a friend to you in spite Of prevail
ing business rules; but if you break
faith with me you will lose a friend
and will lose my business" Thus he
nut them on their honor. And II won /;
bn because sympathy and fellowship
dominated the boy and excited like at
tributes in others.

"SIMON PURE" A STAGE HERO
Name of Hero of Popular Comedy Has
Become Synonymous for the
Genuine Article.

The expression, "Simon Pure, mean
ing .the real man." had its origin IN
the name of Pennsylvania Quaker
in Mrs. Centlivre's comedy, "A Bold
Stroke for a Wife," Being about to
visit London to attend the quarterly
meeting of his sect, Aminadab Hold
fast sends letter Of recommendation
and introduction by his friend, Simon
Pure. to another Quaker, who is guard
ian of Anne Lovely, a young lady re-
puted to have fortune OF t3O,OOO.
Colonel. Feignwell, another character
in the same play, being enamored OF
Miss Lovely and her fortune, avails
himself of an accidental discovery
of the letter of introduction and sue
ceeds in passing himself off aas Simon
Pure. But virtue. is triumphant in
the end. Simon Pure appears WITH
his witnesses and the scoundrelly
Feignwell is exposed.
The play scored great success, ano
the name of "Simon Pure" was grad
ually applied to anything when was
genuine and above imitation.

Velvet
Evening Gowns

z The leading Paris dressmakers con-
tinue to evince a marked taste TOT
white and black-singly, in combina-
ton and sometimes relieved by bright
bits Of color. The evening dress de
luxe for the winter season is of white
velvet. Every important maker Is GO
ing in strongly for the white veivet
dress, according to a leading fashion
writer.
In launching this novelty these die
tatOrs of fashion have revived an old
fashioned type of pure white velvet,
which for many years has been con-
fined to millinery. 1t Is that mar
velously fine, all-silk, Old-fashlOned
velvet known as velOurs de Lyon. This
is a close-nap, close-sheared smooth
velvet, which, without being thick. has
a wonderful depth of tone owing TO It's
close pile and fineness Of fiber.
There is no new-fangled velvet, no
panne and no chiffon, just plain, Old
fashioned velvet, exceedingly costly,
limited in quantity, difficult to secure
and durable to the point OF serving
several generations-the kind of vel
vet that the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
this generation had for bonnets. In
their day it was woven In narrow
width, not over 10 or II inches, but
today the looms produce it in meter
width.
The perfect surface of this fabric
can be produced only, through the
work of most skilled hands, and every

America does this craze grow daily,

ness. There Is an intermediate perlou
of partial and slowly increasing dark
ness. That period is twilight. 1t is
caused by the reflection of the sun
light by dust and particles Of water
vapor in the upper atmosphere. The
same phenomenon occurs just before
sunrise, and, to distinguish it from
the evening twilight, is called dawn.
Dawn begins and twilight ends when
the sun is about eighteen degrees be-
low the horizon, and consequently
their duration varies with the latitude
and season of the year. The higher
the latitude the smaller the angle at
which the suns path meets the hOr-
lion, and hence the longer 1t takes
the sun to sink a distance of eighteen
degrees below the horizon. In the
tropics twilight rarely is longer than
thirty minutes, while in the north Of
Scotland about the middle of summer
there are several nights on which twi-
light fills the entire interval between
sunset and sunrise.

limb overarching a gravel path that
slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with a

There was a bench beneath the tree.

FAMED FOR GIANT POTATOES
District Just North OF Denver has e.
tabIished Its Reputation for the
SuccuIe mt Vegetable.

When Horace Greeley gave the
young men of America loose foot by
saving. some decades ago: Go west,
young man." he incidentally succeeded
in getting a very fine brand OF po-
tatoes named for. himself, writes VIII
liam G. Shepherd in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. A group of men who went
to the West at that time settled IN
q district north of Denver ana east
of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps,
because they thought of nothing else
to raise, they planted potatoes. About
them. in the highlands, the only wild
potatoes in the United States were
growing luxuriantly. This district is
similar climatically and otherwise to
the highland district in Chile, where
explorers are believed to have come
across the potato for the first time.
These Colorado wild potatoes prop
agated themselves by means of seeds,
and il is from the pods of these seeds
that the Colorado potato experts get
the material by means of which they
have produced the Greeleyville potato.
Eastern railroads, on which huge
baked potatoes, served in the dining
cars. have come to be strong allies OF
the passenger agent and heavy draw
ers of patronage, send to the COLORADO
district for the potato giants. Trans
continental railroads which use the
northern route send men into the Mon
tana and Dakota fields to pick out, al
most by hand. huge potatoes which
have been grown from the Colorado
seed.

Extra Warmth for Midwinter Sports,
Among the scarfs appearing In our
own shops is heavy one for skating,
which has a piece cut out to form a
neckline and is slashed down a few
inches and turned back to make
revers. The head slips through the
opening, making a sort of sleeveless
jacket, which ties under the arms.
This is designed to give extra warmth
to the shoulders and chest for mid
winter sports.
With the wintry weather the
thought Of nice warm wool clothes il
pleasant. So many Of the winter coats,
even those Of fur, are of the loose va.
riety that for real comfort one needs

Glue Stronger Than Steel.

A new field for wood has been
opened by the use Of what is called
ply-woOd and glue made from the
blood of the animals killed at the
slaughter house and of the casein, OBJ
tanned from milk.
Remarkable sturdiness under all con-
ditions has been shown by this COM
binatiOn. The combination was first
thought of in connection with the man
ufacture of airplanes.
Thin sheets of wood are laid one
over the other with dry sheets Of pa
per coated on both sides with the
new glue. The mass is then heated
under pressure and the result is that
a structure is formed which is strong
er than steel and has many other ad-
vantages over metal.
Panels were glued together with
these and tested in boiling water for
eight hours. At the expiration Of this
time none of the pieces showed any
separation of the plies.

There was the situation: Dan Fail

began to wonder whether his mother
had been entirely wise In her effort to
keep him from the trough games" Of
the boys of his own age. He realized
now that he had been an underweight
oil his life--that the frailty that had
thrust him to the edge of the grave
had begun In his earliest bOyhOod. But
1t wasn't that he was born with ply
steal handicaps. He had weighed a
full ten pounds; and the doctor had
told his father that a sturdier little
chap was not to be found In any ma
ternity bed In the whole city. But his
mother was convinced that the child
was delicate and must be sheltered.
Never in all the history Of his family.
so far as Dan knew, had there been a
death from the malady that afflicted
him. Yet his sentence was signed and
sealed
But he harbored no resentment
against his mother. 1t was all in the
game. She had done what she thought
was best. And he began to wonder
In what way he could get the greatest
pleasure from his last six months Of
life.

GOMEZ" Dan had always been partial
to the winter season. When the snow
lay all over the farm lands and bowed
down the limbs of the trees, II had
always Weakened a curious flood of
| feelings In the wasted man. 1t seemed
to him that he could remember other
, winters, wherein the snow lay for end
less miles over an endless wilderness,
and here and there were strange,
many-toed tracks that could be fol-
lowed in the icy dawns. But of course
IL was just fancy. He wasn't in the
least misled about it. He knew that
he had never. In his lifetime, seen
the wilderness. OF course his grand
