Origin OF Windfall.

The origin Of the expression wind
fall" which is used when one wishes
to refer to streak of good luck, dates
back to the time Of William the Con-
queror. At that time it was criminal
offense to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other pur-
poses was such limbs as the wind
should happen to break and cast to the
ground. On this account the peasants
cause it was apt to cast enough of
"windfalls" for winter firewood. From
this old-time forestry custom comes the
modern application of the expression.
