Saw you the stately palace that stands
Fronting the wind-swept sky?
The stately palace, reared on a height,
In the teeth of the winds OF the sky?
Nobler than ever a. lordly hold.
Greater than kingly keep,
Or the mightiest ~fastness, buttress-botnd,
Where a thousand legends sleep;
For a legion camps there, eager eyed.
Flushed with the spirits fires;
They, whom the elder lands would not
Younger sons of the sires.
Shoulder to shoulder-a stubborn breed!
There stfrs in the atrophied vein.
The quickened pulse OF a soul reborn
The prophets dormant strain.
Brother and orother-parched of their
thirst,
They drink at the fountain head;
They taste of the mama long denied;
They eat of the fruit and are fed.
Again, Yet again-the waters of life!
You b hear from them, country mine.
Hewers and builders, captains OF men,
Thinkers, poets divine
These, whom the elder lands would not.
Patience fools, We shall see.
For a nation reapeth as IL hath sown,
And the reaping Is yet to be!

he had kept an appointment whlch she
tried to make with him.
The man in the case is a Bezirko-

in Prussia. The young woman is An
tonic Olenick, and she is the daughter
OF a deceased railway managing direc-
tor, her uncle being Major General *.

When her sweetheart told her he had
changed his mind o marrying her.
she Immediately disappeared from
Lobau. A few days later she entered
an undertaker's shop in Gorlitz, Silesla,
and ordered the coffin.
She showed marks of profound grief
and odd a story which completely inn
posed on the proprietor. She said she
wanted a coffin built TO fit a woman OF
her size sent to her husband at Lobau-
She gave the name of her resent fianCe

It was for her sister, she said, and
she told how the DOR girl had shot her

was very particular that the coffin

horror AND later with rage when the
c. o. %. bill for $27 was presented to,
him. He Indignantly refused to pay a.
pfennig and then, in the German way,
the police took a hand.
They at once saw something more in
the case than a CHASTITY joke. The SER
geant told them that the girl had writ
ten urging him to give her a meeting
on the evening previous to the arrival
of the coffin. He had taken no notice
of the request. but the police had no
trouble In establishing that she was
on hand and waited untfl late into the
night at the place she had appointed.
She spent the night i'm the railway
station and in the morning hired a.
sleigh to drive her to Reichenbach. a.
town near Lobau. She old the driver
to wait for her at a hotel, but slipped
away and toe a train to Gorlitz. There
all trace of her was lost. The driver
is still waiting for his pay.
The police are of two minds. Some,
of them believe she intended 70 ,boot

Others think she intended merely to
kill herself in his presence, figuring that
his unavailing regrets would make him
pay for the coffin and thus assure her

HISTORY OF ALFALFA,
AND ORIGIN OF NAME
Known to Ancie It's as 1.-The Best
Fodder Crop, It Still Re-
tains the Title.

The past history of alfalfa is very
closely related to the history OF civil
lized man himself. Originating with
him In central Asia it has followed him
like a true and faithful friend TO the
uttermost parts OF the earth. For the
ancient Persians 1t was the most i'm
| portant forage plant. Whether 1t was
domesticated by them Oh by a more
ancient people is not known. 1t fol-
lowed the invasion of Xerxes into
Greece and from the Grecians the Ro-
mans obtained II. From these centers
Ii spread throughout the Mediterra-
nea littoral into France, Spain and
northern Europe.
The Greeks called 1t "Medike" and
the Romans "Herba Medica" on &C
count OF It's Median or Persian origin.
During the middle ages, however, these
earlier names were lost sight of by it's
European growers and it was named
'l~uZerne." 'luserne" or ''lucerne' after
a river valley in northern Italy. To
the Arabs, on the other hand, 1t was
known as 'alfacfacah," which means
the best kind OF fodder" By the
Moorish invasion and influence over
northern Africa and southern Europe
this Arabic name was implanted, and
out OF it finally came the Spanish name
alfalfa. Thus the plant which botan-
lists now call Medicago referring TO its
ancient Median origin) was called al
falfa in Spain and lucerne in the re-
mainder OF Europe.
Alfalfa was introduced into North
America from both of these sources.
II followed the Spanish invasion of
South America into Mexico, Peru n
Chilli. In sections of these coun
tries ii found a congenial climate and
soil and 50 at nee became a perma-
nent addition TO the agricultural re-
sources of those countries. From Mex
leo and central and western South
America it gradually worked north
ward into southern California and
southwestern Texas, and thence spread
throughout the Rocky mountains and
plains region, adding untold wealth to
the value Of the farm lands of these
states. With this migration has come
the Spanish name alfalfa.
With the coloniSts from those Euro
pean countries outside of Spain, who
settled principally i'm the eastern part
OF North America. alfalfa was also in
troduced under the name of ''l%ucerne,"
but since it's culture did not prove
highly successful this name has never
become popular. However. with the
wonderful development in the produce
ton Of this forage plant in the west
and with the increased knowledge con-
corning it's proper care and manage
ment, the successful culture OF alfalfa
is being pushed further and further
eastward under it's Spanish name,
while the European name lucerne is
today almost totally unused in Amer
