MELON HAS YELLOW CORE

Senator New, After Ten Years, Able to Tell Wife, "I Told You So." Washington.—Ten years ago Senator Harry New happened to mention to his wife, while they were eating watermelons, that he had once seen and tasted a watermelon with a yellow core. Mrs. New said that all she had ever seen were red. The senator declared he would prove his veracity by showing his wife, some time, a watermelon with a yellow heart. Since that time Senator New has been continuously on the watch. He even tipped off bls friends and they have looked long and carefully for a yellow melon. Recently an express package came to the senator’s home .here. It contained a watermelon, just as green as any watermelon on the outside, but when cut, the meat was pure golden, without a streak of red. Thanks to one of his Hoosier friends, the senator now says to his wife, "I told you so.”
