Whi n it seems as if no chance
were left for you,
When the darkness seems to
thickly close about.
When no cheerful sign is any
where in view,
When you feel your breaking
heart assailed bv doubt
That's the time to prove your
manhood, that's the time
to proudly cling
To the hope that makes the
poorest man the equal of
a king.

It is a mystery that this stand-to-gather
policy is so hard to put Into
practice.
The old story of the bunch of atlckj

solidly for Mr. Hearst he would have

union men did forget their partisan

THE SERVANT ISSl'E SOLVED.
A New York woman who has deter
mined to give up housekeeping has
pensioned her servants so they will
not have to wrestle with the cold
world after the old house Is closed.
Interviewed about her success In
keeping good servants, this woman
said: "A mistress should not make
promises to her help which she can
not keep. If women were as Interest
ed In the welfare of their maids as
they are In their horses and dogs
there wouldn't he n hier servant nrnh-
,,.,. M;iny servants are superior to
their mistresses. I know women who
porterhouses to their dogs and
hash to their servants. There are
. ... . ,. ... ,
women who find fault with their
COOks when they don't give them
enough to cook with. If mistresses
would reform themselves I believe the
reform of the servant situation would
come sooner." ' 't
There Is a good deal of horse sense
In that. Many people might reflect
with advantage upon the statement
that some servants are superior to
their mistresses; it might enable them
to get a better perspective of the
problem of keeping good help in the
house. Boise Statesman.
FA ME: DEAD MEN'S FOOD.
Fame Is a food that dead men eat
I have no stomach for such meat,
In little light and narrow room,
They eat It in the silent tomb,
With no kind voice of comrade near
To bid the banquet be of cheer.
Hut Friendship Is a nobler thing
Of friendship It Is good to sing.
For truly, when a man shall end.
He lives In memory of his friend.
Who doth his better part recall,
And of his faults make funeral.

MODERN 1IISTOKY OF
THE EDIBLE POTATO.
The chronicle of one of the old
Spanish travelers, published In 1553,
according to the Independent, says:
"The people of Peru eat a tubulous
root which they call papes." The
Spaniards took this root to Spain,
where It was grown as "truffle root."
The Itallnns very quickly adapted It
Into their gardens, and soon the
Dutch were cultivating It with much
the same zeal that they displayed for
tulips. Of Its introduction into Eng
land, all that we are sure of Is that
In 15S6 Sir Walter Raleigh was grow
ing potatoes In his Irish garden.
Thomas Harlot. In his account of
Virglnln. names potatoes among the
roots thnt were found growing there,
saying that some of them were as big
as a walnut and other considerably
larger. This Virginia potato seems to
have been that which is now known
as the Irish, while thnt grown in Peru
Is more likely' to have been a sweet
potato. Another writer, describing
the esculents of Virginia, says that
the potato root is thick, fat and tu
berous, not differing much In shape
from the sweet potato, except that
the roots are not so great or long,
while some of them are round as a
ball, and others are oval. In the egg
fashion, "of which the knobble roots
are fastened with an infinite number
of threddle strings.
Early in ihe seventeenth century
Raleigh's plantation nf potatoes had
been repeated all over Ireland: but
the farmers of England, moved by
stubborn prejudice, possibly fn rart
by jealousy decided that they would
have nothing to do with the tuber.
Shakespeare makes Falstaff Imagine
that the heavens are raining potatoes
upon him an Imagination which
could hardly have been delightful un
less the potatoes retained their orig
inal small size. It was as late as the
time of Charles II., certainly It was
after the Cromwelllan episode, before
the potato got any fair hold In Eng
lish soil.
Gilbert White, writing In 177S. says
that potatoes had prevailed in his
district for about 20 years, and that
this bad been brought about "only
by means of premiums." but that po
tatoes were then much esteemed by J
the poorer people, who would scarcely
have ventured to taste them in the j
previous reign. Another writer speaks
of them as a rather questionable pro-
duel possibly to become human'
food, "although rather flatulent and J
arid for the human stomach." He
recommends boiling them with dates,
and thinks such a combination would
keep body ami soul together. for
those who are too poor to get any
thing better. It Is probable that the
storage of this esculent was very lit
tle understood, and so. being left In
the light after diggifig. they became
continuously less and less suitable for
food.
The story of the Introduction nf the
potato into France during the decade
before the revolution of 1793, has been j
often told. The country people were
so convinced of the poisonous nature
of the tuber that they would not give
I a trial. Tts friends were actually
inohhed for trying to Introduce a food
that would poison the people.
The story goes In two ways. One nf
these tells us that King Louis XIV.
wore potato blossoms In his button
hob', nnd had potatoes on his royal
table until they became popular with
the aristocratic classes. Another
story recounts how a celebrated phy
sician nnd philanthropist planted a
field of potatoes about which he
placed a guard, with Instructions to
allow Just as much thieving as possi
ble. The poorer people, believing a
vegc table that deserved such watch
ful care must be of great value, stole
nearly the whole of them. In this way
their prejudices were overcome, and
a valuable esculent added to their
dietary.
AFRAID OF RALLOOX.
W. H. Caffett. superintendent nf
the powder mill In Holmes Park, tells
a story about once when he was su
perintendent of a powder mill In Cal
ifornia. He went to Han Francisco
and watched a captive hallonn In
which men nnd women were going up
SOfl feet ami then being hauled down
again. After watching It a while h
said to the man In charge:
"I'd like mighty well to go up In
that balloon, but I'm afraid to try It.
It looks dangerous to me."
. "And what Is your business, sir?"
asked the man.
"I'm superintendent of a powder
mill."
"You work In a powder mill and are
afraid to go up In a balloon! Gee
whiz, man, I'd a durned Fight sooner
go up out of sight In a balloon than to
stick my nose Inside your powdr
mill. Why. man, If you fall out of a
balloon there'll be something left of
you to pick up." Kansas City Star.
TWO GARDEN'S.
Do you know the slighted garden?
The ground Is ahrd and dry;
The lilies fade before their time,
The rose leaves scattered lie.
Unchecked, the rank weeds flourish
The winds unhindered beat,
The fragile stems are trodden low,
liy rough and careless feet.
No hanrls are busy tending them,
No hearts with pity move:
And so they slowly droop and die
For lnck of tender love.
Do you know the love-kept garden?
The pleasant proofs are there;
Love's hands are always busy,
And loving hearts take care;
Affection's eyes read quickly
Each little plantlet's needs
Of sunshine and of shelter,
Deliverance from weeds;
And gentle fingers trim the plants,
While cool dropB from above
.Steal down to cheer each little root
And speak of tender love.
