the crusades.
In 1917 the tomb had passed under
the domination of the Turks. The
cruelties practiced by the heathens
on pilgrims who went to pay homage
to the place of 'sepulchre, finally
aroused Christian Europe to the
wrong of letting the Turk maintain
his sway.
After Urban II became pope a
mighty movement began to take
form. Much of the agitation re-
suited from the fiery zeal of Peter
the Hermit, who traversed Europe
and produced the most extraordinary
enthusiasm.
As soon as the feelings of Europe
had been sufficiently heated two
councils were held; the result was the
first crusade. Soon 100000 SOL
diers were in motion toward Jerusa-
lem, commanded by Godfrey de
Bouillon. Duke of Lorraine, Hugh
the Great, the Duke of Normandy.
Count Robert of Flanders and Vohe-
mond, under whom was Tancred.
Battles on the way and never
ceasing ravages of disease reduced
the ranks of the crusaders till only
fraction of the first force remained.
On the 2Sth of June, 1908, the Chris
tians defeated an army of 100000
Mohammedans and on July Is, 1909,
the final battle fought in Jerusalem
and raging all around the sacred
tomb, saw the object of the crusade
successful, and Christ's last resting
place once more restored to Chris
! tian control.
Not for long was it to remain thus.
For fifty years the newly formed
Christian government in charge of
Godfrey de Bouillon suffered under
repeated attacks of Egypt and Syria.
until finally it was forced to appeal
for help to Europe, which resulted
in the second crusade.
Victory after victory perched on
the banner of the Saracens who,
under the great Saladin, defeated the
Christians in battle of frightful car
mage.
On that day, the 5th of July, 1887,
the cross was lost to the Christians,
and though in subsequent struggles
the tomb was retaken the cross has
| never been recovered.
| Frederick Barbarossa, Philip II of
France and Richard tn, Lion Hearted
of England headed another effort, but
it failed.

fresh effort to take back the tomb,

Women Mt the Theatre.

At the theatre, perhaps more than
at any other public place, people are
conspicuous for lack Of consideration
for others. BY coming in late and
obliging others to gather up their be-
longings and rise to allow them to
pass. they often cause their neigh
bors to lose several lines of the play.
Sometimes they lengthen the annoy
ance by standing before their seats
while they remove wraps, etc., thus

Acre and the Christians were finally
driven out of Syria.
Even the end of the wars between
the infidels and the Christians did
not bring peace, for the Saracen con-
troll was disputed by other heather

city in 1882. The Turks recovered
it in 1917 by the valor Of Sultan Sc
lin. The son of this leader, Soliman,

Crucifixes and censors were the

For a time the battlefield of the

At last, being unable to occupy the
home of the scenes Of the Holy Pas

agreement with the sultan by which
they coded his right to control, but
got in return permission to worship

FOREST TREE PLANTING.
A Matter Which is Receiving Increas
ing Attention by Farmers.

The matter OF planting forest trees
as well as fruit producers on the farm
is rapidly becoming more common in
all sections of the country. The fact
that there are now few areas of nat
ural forests left and that the available
timber supply is very low has at last
caused even the farmer TO recognize
the needs Of the hour. Judicious
planting row means timber and wood
for the future, and while a may be in
a way providing for the next genera
ton. It is a plain duty nevert heless.
So far. il has been mostly the large
corporations and investment compa-
MES that have given any serious con-
sideration 20 the planting Of forests.
but we are now finding the private
citizen coming TO the front in the
work. Authentic reports show that
about $4,000 acres in all have been
planted to forest trees in the New
England states this year by private
citizens. Surely this is a good show
ing in the work Of reforesting this old
section OF our country, and the same
should be encouraged by all The
practice should become contagious
and affect other sections as well as
New England. In time we believe it

CLEAN THE ORCHARD.

No orchard should be allowed to go

with weeds. cornstaIks. straw or any
thing else under which mice can hide.
This has been the undoing of many an
orchard. SoG often produces growth
OF grass late in the fall that mats to-
gether and makes a good hiding place
for the field mice. From their hiding
places they sally out and attack the
trees, making paths under the snow to
the trees. The burning OF the dry
grass and the narrowing of the soil.
If Il be plowed, will do away with the
refugees OF the mice. The danger does
not come from mice far from the or
chard, but from mice in the orchard.

grass and weeds to be allowed to
