Christmas Flower

NIHEN you buy one of those
w scarlet-petaled flowers called
the poinsettia to add 10 the festive
appearance of your home at Christ
mas time, you are helping perpetu-
ate the fame of an American who
little realized that his name would
become associated with one OF the
symbols of the Yuletide. For Joel
r. Poinsett had so many other
claims to distinction that it seems
curious he is best remembered be-
cause a flower bears his name!
Born in South Carolina in 1779, he
studied both medicine and military
science abroad but his father in
duced him to abandon his intention
of entering the army and to be-
come a student of law. Poor health
forced him to give that up and he
asked President Madison for COM
mission in the army.
Instead he was sent on a dip
lomatic mission to South America
where he mixec in the politics OF
Chile, and fomented revolution un-
til he became known as "the
scourge of the American continent
and was recalled. Next he was sent
to Mexico. Always interested in
botany, he brought back from that
country the flower which was given
the scientific name of "Poinsettia
Pulcherina.
Just as he had been a stormy
petrol in international politics, so
he was a disturbing element in the
politics of his native land. During
the Notification controversy in
South Carolina he organized and led
the Unionist forces. BY doing
that he won the esteem Of the nation
al government and President Van
Buren made him secretary of war.
Poinsett improved and enlarged
the army, organized a general staff,
built up the artillery, directed the
Seminole war and managed the re-
r1oval of some 0,000 Indians to In
dian Territory In the midst of this
activity his scientific interests were
not neglected. He experimental
with scientific agriculture, sent out
the Wilkes expedition into the Ant
arctic and was largely instrumental
in founding the National Institute
for the Promotion of Science and
the Useful Arts which later was
merged with the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. His busy career came to an
end in 1851 while he was living in
retirement as a plantation owner in
his native state.

BROOKLYN Bridge Jumper

DACK in the eighties the Brooklyn
- bridge was one of the wonders
Of the modern world. Its dedication
on May "a, 1888 was an event of
nationwide interest but three years
later it was even more in the news
because of a man with whose name
that great span has been linked in
popular memory ever since.
He was Steve Brodie, bootblack,
street car conductor, sailor and
worker around the docks who be-
came a professional walker as
means of earning some easy money.
But he was never better than Sec
ond-rater and none of his walking
matches ever benefited him great
ly. In the summer of 1886 he was
nearly broke"
One day in July he heard some
of his friends talking about the lat
est casualty among the men who
had tried for fame and fortune by
diving from the Brooklyn bridge to
the river, 1876 feet below. Seven of
them had tried it and all of them
had been killed.
Huh, bet you l could do it and
not be killed." boasted Brodie. Bet
YOU SlO0 you can't!" replied a
friend You're on!" was Brodie's
answer. But he was evidently none
too confident that he could make
good on his boast for he took out a
life insurance policy for $1,000 as a
protection for his wife, just in case
On July %, 1886 Brodie jumped
Oh the bridge and came up without
a scratch. Officials of the life in
surance company were furious be-
cause he had risked 81, 1000 of their
money to win $100. They returned
hi premium and cancelled his poll
cy-which was foolish, for he lived
to a ripe old age!
His successful jump was widely
pubhcized. 1t won him an engage
ment in melodrama called
''Bla ckmaiP' in which he had to
dive off great height into net
feat which, he declared, was even
more dangerous than his jump from
the bridge-and his performance in
this Cat $100 week. made Bro
die, the Brooklyn Bridge-Jumper"
famous all over the country. His
achievement encouraged imitators
and during the next few years no
less than IL others tackled the ma
tion's most spectacular high dive.
Although the first seven had per-
ished in their attempts, Brodie
seemed to have broken the jinx,
for every one of the II survived.
By that time the novelty of such a
feat had somewhat worn off. But
Brodie's fame as the first to make
a successful jump was secure.
Moreover, he contributed another
picturesque phrase to the Ameri.
can language, for doing a Brodie''
is still synonym for a specta cular
jump or plunge from height.
