KNIGHTS AND LADIES FAIR.
Tournament Time in Maryland and
the Pleasure IL brings.


From the Baltimore SIM
Tournament time in Maryland! A time
OF brave and gallant knights and ladies
fair. OF eyes and faces bright and golden
hair; and all the beau1 and bellies are
there. Down from the days OF chivalry
this custom~has come. ard we can trace
Il back 20 the Middle Ages, where by
his courage and his strong arm the gal
liant knight won his lady fair. crowned
her and took her of as his bride.
Down the ages the knights come riding.
from Richard the Lion Hearted and
lvanhoe" clear down TO Mount Airy
and Ny Lady's Manor II IS q very
pretty custom. and Is observed IN Mary
land perhaps more than in any other
part Of America. where in some sections
II never existed and In most Of the others
has long been forgotten.
But In Maryland the girls are so fas-
cinating and the young men so hand

Ing Tor their coronation and an army or

Knight Of Pleasant Valley or The
Knight Of Rocky Glen"
These are no easy victories. as some
might suppose. for g takes a hrst-cless
rider 70 win IN a tournament IN Mary
land, where there are horsemen who can
ride with a grace. dash. and surety
that were never taught IN any riding

the qualities Of confidence. decision,
strength and skill that belongs 10 a higr
type Of manhood. Il IS not a contest
for weaklings. And a girl may we'll be
proud OF being chosen as the favorite
Of a successful knight.
Youth bubbles over with the very 10Y
Of living; It sees life in the glowing light
Of It's sunrise and a thousand rays OF
rose and gold make the future radiant.
IL Is the time when every girl has a
right 10 expect her Prince Charming 10
come riding out or his milk-white steed
10 WOO and win her and take ner to the
Land OF Hearts Desire. and the young
man finds that the one thing that lights
up the world for him Is "the light that
lies In woman's eyes"
None but the brave deserve the fair. %

brave youth for the smiles and favor

A dog may be worth more than
dollar. That depends upon the dog. This
was mongrel, bought by a poor man in
Philadelphia. The other night the family
were awakened by the dog scratching at
his masters door. When his master
came out TO see what was the matter.
the dog, with a remnant Of chewed rope
hanging from bis collar whined and ran
TO the head OF the stairway. The house
was on FIRE, and shortly after woman and
child and man and dog made their escape.
their poor dwelling was a mass OF glow
ing embers.
The owner OF the dog has been urged
To part with him for a large cash con-
sideration, but though he is penniless.
he Will not part with the four-footed
savior OF his family; neither has the
dog at any time had thoughts OF leaving
them for luxurious kennels.
