...courtier's attempt to ward off with a plate a hot dog bandied at him by an irate Louis the Whosis. Elsewhere you state that hurly is at least a thousand years old and the potato was not known in Europe until the 16th century. If you must link the potato with something you might tie it to the American game la crosse; 'twould be more accurate, less cheaply vaudevillian...

...Northern Pacific. Awaiting it in the South was the $110,111,000 Western Pacific, pet road of Arthur Curtiss James. When by the first of next year the track-laying crews have finished their work, 200 miles of new rails will connect Klamath Falls and Bieber, Calif., will link the Northern transcontinental routes with Western Pacific. The track will feed new traffic to both systems, will also bring competition to Southern Pacific's land and sea routes. And it will bring a smile to the ghost of James Jerome Hill who, never satisfied with merely pushing to the Coast...
