SHOWS RISE IN LAND VALUES.
Booklet Issued by Agents of Massa-
chusetts Avenue HEIGHTS

A booklet profusely illustrated is being
distributed by Thomas J. Fisher 6. Co,
agents Of the Massachusetts Avenue
Heights property, which shows in a pic
torial and interesting fashion the rela-
ton Of that tract of land about the
Naval Observatory which is now being
opened up to the residential section of
the city of which that avenue is the
principal thoroughfare.
In addition to presenting to the eye
some of the improvements in the general
locality and the fine homes erected there,
it also brings out in graphic manner
the development of the city as shown
by the course Of real estate values. In
stances are cited of the increase in the
selling price of ground during the past
twenty years from So to SIS square foot,
and also during the past four years from
10 cents to $3.50 a square foot

Toasting the Apple Tree.
From the London Evening Standard.

From the London Evening Standard.
The old custom of wassailing or toast
ing the apple trees has been observed
this week in remote parishes in Devon
and Somerset. After meal at the
farmhouse professions were made to the
nearest orchards. the farmer leading the
way with a light, and the men follow
ing. carrying all sorts of firearms Ar
rived at the orchard the party formed
in ring, while the farmer seized the
branch OF tree and sang the following:
20 apple tree, I wassail thee
In hopes that thou wilt blow
To blow and bear well.
So merry let US be;
For the Lord doth know where We shall
be
To be merry another year."

Ministers Pray for Peace.

Thanksgiving day was one in which
while the prayers of Thanksgiving
were offered in the churches, the min
listers and congregations mostly sup
plicated for such divine guidance as
would lead to a peaceful solution of
the differences that would cement and
not dismember the Union. 1t may be
supposed the critical condition of af-
fairs threw somewhat of a damper
over the festivities of Christmas time.
The visit of the Putnam Phalanx of
Hartford. Conn, on December 20 was
an occasion which had it's effect on
the growing Union sentiment. The
headquarters was at the armory of
the Washington Light Infantry. and
it put up at the National Hotel and
formed lasting friendships with the
guests at the hotel and the military,
particularly the Infantry.
The discovery of the abstraction of In
dian trust funds amounting to $S3O,O0O
from the Interior Department. when it
became known that those funds were in
charge of clerks who came from the
south, was regarded as part and parcel
of conspiracy in which John B. Floyd.

Companies See Service.

Soon after other volunteer companies
were formed. such as the Columbian Ar
tilery, Potomac Dragons, National Blues,
Mechanical Rifles, German Yeagers.
Montgomery Guard, Union Guards,
Walker Sharp-shooters, Continental
Guard and others, as we'll as the junior
companies: Rough and Ready Artillery.
Union Light Infantry, Marion Rifles.
Green Mountain Boys and others, all
having a longer or shorter career In
them, however, was much Of the soldier
element which later saw active service;
the infantry entering the service April,
1851, the Blues becoming the Grays; then
the National Guard doing likewise. The
Yeagers, becoming the Washington Rifles,
followed suit. and the junior Marion
Rifles. the prototype Of the National Rifles,
taking the same course. AS to individual
members, most of them served in the
and not a few rose to high rank, some
being mustered out as generals.
Under the act of Congress of March 80,
1855 an armOry had been authorized in the
mall near the corner of 9th and b streets
southwest for the care Of the arms AMI
accoutrements of the volunteers and
militia of the District, at a cost of $685..
OOO 1t was finished in 1859, and occupied
by the National Guard battalion, Lieut..
Col. James A. TAFT. The Infantry was in
rented quarters on the south side of the
avenue, a few doors west Of Az street.
There were, however. occasional
musters of the uniformed companies
and ceremonials in which they par
ticipated, particularly when requested
by the War Department to do escort
duty. and they often. collectively or
by detachment, paid the hOnors to de-
ceased officers of the government and
others: Besides Gen. Weightman, who
was then too old for active service,
there were Maj. Gems. Peter Force and
G.. c. Thomas; Brig. Gems. William
Hickey, Peter +. Bacon, Robert
Ould, and Hugh 0aperton, in commits
sion before there was call made.

most active Of these officers. and often

commanded the troops.
The political clubs were drilling in
foot movements and looking to taking
part in the inauguration, but they
were fast being convinced that mill
tary force would be necessary to in
sure the inauguration of the Presi-
dent, and during December the sub
ject of turning those clubs into mill
tary companies and applying to the
government for arms and accOutre-
ments was a burning question. Later
many of them dropped their club or
ganizatiOn and became soldiers, and
the National Volunteers were preparing
for service in the south.

Dr.. Tabor was ninety-four years Of

his mind was keen, alert and active

Why go north or buy these high
priced lands OF iowa when you can buy
lands with a far greater agricultural
value for $4,000 to $4,000 per acre in
eastern Oklahoma? 1t is always on
the early market that you get the TOP
price for everything. There corn will
yield from thirty to seventy bushels
to the acre, and oats from forty to-
eighty bushels, and two crops of DO
tatoes are grown in one year. The
first crop is dug the first of June and
the second in October. The round trip
will only cost you $171O from Omaha.
