The infusion of virile American blood
would be a godsend to the Geraldines.
There is neither drop of royal nor
American blood in the long annals Of the
family. The only American connections
are by marriage. A cousin by marriage
of the dukes, through the Grahams OF
Netherby, was Miss Jessie Lowe of Sa-

in great battle. While marching against
CAROLS Castle, now known as Leap

by one of the O'Mores He was watering
his horse in the River Greess, near kilkea.
There is a legend of the house of Fitz-

every seven years gallops silently across

CHRISTMAS TREES
SCARCE THIS YEAR
People Will have to Pay a High
Price for Trees.

An opportunity presents itself for
some inventive person to furnish
substitute for the orthodox Christmas
tree which has heretofore been yielded
by the pine forests of northern Wis
conSin and Michigan. 1t is reported
that the forest fires which ragged this
summer and fall have injured the
growth of young trees TO such an ex-
tent that there will be poor cleaning
for the Christmas tree haryesters.
These forests have furnished trees
not only for Wisconsin cities. but was
the Scource of supply for Chicago and
many other large cities of the coun-
try. OF course the supply is not
absolutely cut off for there are tama-
rack swamps which were not harmed
by the forest fires, but these will not
be adequate for the demand. Christ
mas tree dealers are already sending
word to the men in the woods, telling
them that they want the usual num-
Der of trees but the woOdsmen are
their heads and wondering
where the trees are coming from.
The cry goes up each year from
those who would guard the forests,
that the slaughter of young pine and
balSam trees for Christmas ought to
be stopped. 1t is contended by others
that the small trees cut for this pur-
pose hardly would develope into tim
Der even if left standing.
There have been on the market for
several seasons past artificial Christ
mas trees, ranging from little tiny
things that stand in flower pot to a
size adequate for the usual family.

HARD FIGHT FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
Oshkosh Defeats Grand Rapids
in a Holly Contested Game by
a Score of is to O.

The football game Saturday after
noon was very exciting and interest
ing. Oshkosh has defeated every
team that it has played SO far this
s JASON. No team in the state has
been able to score on them SO far.
Grand Rapids team had up to this
time been indicated and have the
cham pionsEip of the Wisconsin Val
ley, and the fight put up against
Oshkosh Saturday established the fact
that ne have one of the fastest teams
in the state. South Milwaukee fell
before Oshkosh and many other fast
teams have failed TO compare with
the Oshkosh team. This shows that
although Grand Rapids didn't win it
was no disgrace to be defeated by a
team like Oshkosh. The Oshkosh
boys admitted that it was the hardest
thing they had run up against this
season and the score shows this. In
the first half of the game Oshkosh
secured a touchdown in the first few
minutes of play but for the next
twenty-five minutes of play Oshkosh
could not score. They tried straight
foot ball but the Grand Rapids line
held stone wall. They then tried
forward passes and other tricks with
little success. Early showed his
ability by breaking up many forward
passes. Oshkosh would force the ball
down the field only to have it carried
back by Grand Rapids. When time
was called the ball was in the middle
of the field. This at the end of the
first half the score stood and 0 in
favor of Oshkosh. This was not doing
very we'll for practiced game.
When the second half began it looked
as though Grand Rapids was going TO
win they forced it steadily toward
the Oshkosh goal. They were within
fifteen yards of the goal when the
ball was given to Oshkosh On the
second down. OF course this was not
fair to Grand Rapids for this poor
decision the game was just about given
to Oshkosh whether done purposely or
not. At any rate Oshkosh had never
had their goal threatened 10 this
