A Ruaaian Nobiaman (lav Z*Mury Plant Its N'ar About two centuries a?*> a Russian nobleman traveling in Mexico saw an?l admire! the maguey plant, which is a native of Mexico. The plant was so much admired by the Russian for its beautv and utility that he was ^ager to have growing specimens in his own couni. o - i xr L. irv. "?<? wikm leaving jicaicu iiv procured some roots to take home to the czar as a present. On hia first visit to court, after he reached the capital city, he told of the wonderful plant and asked permission of the czar to present to him the specimens which he had. The czar graciously granted his request and gave the roots to the court gardener, who promised to give the plants his best attention, but unfortunately before he could plant them properly as he intended ne was taken suddenly ill and died without having accomplished any-; thing. Another gardener was appointed. In the meantime the roots lay in the sack in which they were first placed. The new gardener, not knowing their value, threw the sack awsry, and it lay unheeded in a corner of the garden day after day. Some time afterward his little daughter picked up one of the roots and in a pi ay i m mwu piaiitcru i\>r paiu* no further attention to- it. The czar had forgotten all about it. In course of time the ruler died and also the second gardener. The plant in after years put out a few spikes for leaves, but did not thrive in the cold air of Russia. It ' grew very slowly, and its origin was not known to an one save the wife ?f the former gardener and the child that planted it. Years passed, and still the strange plant, with its thick, long, straight leaves, now nearly sir feet tall, did not bloom, but as it grew taller it attracted notice, and the new czar sometimes looked at it and wondered if it would ever bloom. In time he, too, died, and! still j the maguey bloomed not. But just after the coronation of another czar a stalk shot up from the root of the plant and rapidly grew to the height of twenty feet. Soon many clusters of small: buds appeared, which slowly unfolded and became' white blossoms^ The wonderful plant had bloomed at last. The gardener said it was 100 years old and had bloomed in honor of the new czar. Word was sent to him, and he and his whoie court visited and admired the flowers and the plant. The poor exile from the 6unny skies of Mexico had earned its reward and a new name, for ever since that day it has been known as "the century plant." Whir# f VYa> Lacking. A man who had served two terms in congress was making a campaign for a third term. In the course of a speech in the town hall at Broomcorn Junction, a village near the farther boundary of his district, he said: '*lt is true, fellow citizens, that I have not always been able to do as much as 1 should like to do in the matter of internal improvements in this district, but I have never lost sight of your interests for a single moment. You have no idea of the ' * " * '1 .
