You will notice | that this mental snapshot will serve | i's a composite likeness of every other press brother in town. Lord love them—every one! But, anyhow—— When the Shriners were doing the Catalina islands, The Star man— whose name might be Sir Galahad, except that it is Willlam—wandered off alone, and in his exploration through a junglous splendor that no Shrine man had ever trod before he came to a dugout in a mountain. And in the dugout grew a tree—the one and only buzz-gyp! By some mysterious twist of coin- cidence, this wonder tree was loaded down with gorgeously queer blossoms of the Shrine colors—red. yellow and sreen, and as Sir William knows, a Eood story when he sees it, he gath-: ered @ few branches of the tree and !

By the time he was ready to join his colleagues he noted that the wilt- ing leaves had taken on an opales- vent loveliness, so different from any ! other foliage inside of botany or out, that he paused to study the won- der things that Mother Nature can do when she takes a notion. As he tossed the leaves aside one fell in a glass filled with water that chanced to be standing by—unless you believe that all things are ordained It was at that instant that the buzz-gyp proved itself the most re- markable tree on earth—or off it. For. lo! the water deepened into am- | ber and whiffed the minty pungency | of julep. The man tasted it. and, by i sir, it was julep—the regu- | lar sort that father used to make be- fore the w turned dry as water. i Science demands its sacrifices, | which is why Sir Gala-Bill tested his discovery with a fearlessness that | entirely sregarded the safety siogan when.” And by that time. being a virtuous follower of Buddha Volstead, he decided to keep the buzz-gyp dark until the steamer had nosed out to sea. At his announcement 2 clamor went up for the captain to pull for the shore. so that the convention might gather cuttings for private nurseries. but you know what sKip- pers are once they get started. Lots of people like that. | Big money was offered Sir G. W. for the single specimen he was tak- ing back to the Agricultural Depart- ment. but he refused with the strength that is Gibraltar flavored with julep of the buzz-gyp. Such, indeed, was the moral magnitude of this Star man that he even refrained from mentioning the few leaves that he was carrying home to his own cellar. There are some things too sacred for speech. Ever notice? The convention was on its home | the | trip when a correspondent on frain craved permission to sell the world its first story about the buzz- | ®¥p tree. The 'Star man gave her an ! illuminating interview, but refused 1o show samples. She wasn't satis- fled with headlines. She wanted il- Justrations. So she hung around un- til the first call for dinner gave her the chance to pounce down on The Star man's empty seat and scoop the magic leavings of his buzz-gyp tree. Yes, sisters, she was a lady corre- spondent, but she couldn’t have been a perfect thirty-six or she would never have done that to a buddie, especially with a child on hand to Eive her away. man, this is the only truly true ac- pount of the discovery of — The buzz-gyp tree. * X ok ¥ A pinney-show car ride from The Star to the Capitol provided a pro- &ram well worth the price: Over a store door a big, framed Dicture of a knight In armor mounted on a bob-tailed horse. .
