Spaniard Gets Credit

What Is a hot dog? Wei!, it is most

highly spiced, (.eain cooked and
smoked over hickory smoke. It orig
inated in Itologua, Spain, long ago

It looked like a great economic crime
to see so much prize beef wasted. P.ut

were killed In the bull ring and made
the meat Into a sausage, mixed with
pork and highly seasoned. Bologna
sausage appealed to the popular taste.
Hermans borrowed the formula, put
the same saus-uge mixture Into small
casings and llologna became "Frank
furter" in Frankfort and "Weenie" in
Vienna. Coney Island gave It the name
of hot dog and popularized it.

Chance, sho says, Is mightier than
Cupid and usually first loves become

when young, Frauleln Itemu finds, but
when they nre confirmed bachelors It
lakes sympathetic housekeepers to
land them. Widowers nre easy marks
because they no longer know how to

Juniper Tree Older
Than King Solomon
, There 1$ something about an ancient
tree that 'wins aur reverence whether
we know much about trees or not. And
sometimes one of these veterans Is
found of such age that we seek In
vain for a word that expresses our
feelings about It. .
In Logn: canyon, Utah, a knotted
old Juniper has very recently been dis
covered; the men of science say that
It had reached a vigorous life before
King Solomon was born. A student
in the Utah agricultural college dis
covered It. The tree Is still growing,
Its roots Imbedded In rock at an ele
vation of 7,300 feet above sea level;
It Is about forty-four feet high. The
old tree has been taking its nourish
ment from the limestone cliff for 3,000
years. All that time this noble vet
eran has fought a lonely but victorious
fight against wind and storm nnd
drought.. Through Its long struggle
the old Juniper has acquired such
strength that It Is actually breaking
apart the ledge on which It grows and
gradually pushing several tons of
rocky material away from the edge
of the cliff. The national forest serv
ice has been asked to protect this
tough old settler from the souvenir
hunters, by surrounding It with a
strong steel fence. Youth's Com

The Upset Of A Little Lamp
The disasterous fire at Chicago in 1871, resulting
from a cow upsetting a small lamp, shows how lit
tle things grow into enormous proportions.
It was not the kicking over of a lamp that started
a little store but it was the little store itself that
started a business growing into one of National im
portance. The first J. C. Penney Company Store then
known as the Golden Rule Store transacted less
than a $29,000 business the first year. Less than a
quarter of a century later, we find it with 676
Stores, doing a business of approximately $90,000,
000. That's a reward of service !
