Chapter From the Lives of Margaret of

chapter From the Lives ot Margaret of
 Austria and the Duke of Savoy.
 Margaret of Austria. on q pilgrimage in the early part of the sixteenth cen tury, stopped for few days at the castle of Bron. set in the midst of the forests that surrounded the little vil- lage of Bra~se. Not only did all the nobles and stately danes from nearby castles ride to the castle of Bron to pay homage to the beautiful daughter of the Emperor MaXimilian. but the peasant folk as well planned extra games and festivities in her honor for the Easter Monday. which the prin- cess was to pass with them.
 Margaret was gracious and lovely and with her train of nobles, danes and maidens, came from the great cas- tie to the village common and watched the simple games and happy dancing on that Easter Monday long ago with little thought in her heart of what it was all to mean to her. Soon the royal party. imbued with the happy hearted mirth and jollity of the occasion. be- gan to do more than look on and took part in the games as gayly as the lowiest peasant lass in the village.
 Just as the eggs had been strewn over the fresh laid sand and all was in readiness for the egg dance a horn was heard blowing from the nearby forests, and forth from it's depths is sued a gallant troop of men at run led by the knightly figure of Philibert the Fair. duke of Savoy.
 The years had not been many since Margaret of Austria. Il slim slip of a child. had played in these same old forest wilds with a sturdy boy whom years of warfare and turmoil had changed into the soldier prince who was now before her. Margaret had not forgotten those early days of childish love and courtship, and her heart was throbbing with a sweet, wild joy as in answer 10 the entreaties of Philibert the Fair she joined with him the happy couples gliding and cir cling through the mazes of the egg dance.
 Loud rang the cries of the peasantry as the princely couple without mishap stood breathless and flushed at the end of the dance.
 Austria and Savoy foreverw rang clear the cry, and as simply as peas ant lass might have accepted her rus tic lover did the stately Margaret lay her hand in that of her princely suitor in answer to his words:
 CT et uS too follow the custom of Bresse."

II happened that the Flowery Kingdom was ruled by the Emperor Chow, a monarch universally feared and hated No one could depend on his favor, and at last his best friend, the prime min kter, Ii Chung, began to tremble for bis life.

 When they were far from China, Apwever. Ii Chung took the passengers 1Dto his confidence.

THE DANGERS IN NOT USING
 GOOD MILK

Very few consumers of milk ever stop to think of how it is produced.
 Many sicknesees, especially in children have been traced by medi- cal research to the improper hand ling of milk.
 A short time ago thyphoid fever broke out in the upper section of New York City and was traced by the Board of Health to the milk which had come from farm in the Northern secticn of New York State.
 Milk when taken from the COW is in pure state, and is the best whole food known 10 man, but care- lessly handled 1t becomes danger, as the warm milk is ready to re- ceive foreign bacteria which multiply at an alarming rate until the milk is dangerous to use. bat cannot be deteced unless analized. Use milk which is produced under the following methods: Clean barn, cows cleaned one half ! hour before milking to allow the dust to settle, clean milking cans, dry milking, the habit of some mlkers in wetting the hands with the milk before milking IS discust- ing and dangerous to milk. The use of tobacco in any form prohi- bited by rnilkers in the barn, wash ing the hands before milking. taking the milk from the barn as soon as 1t comes from the COW, ,as there are more bacteria in the barn than out in the air. The liberal use of good dis infectant daily around the barn, especially in the gutters. Theso rules are strictly inforced at Brook side Dairy Farm, as the REPORTS of the STATE will prove by the low number of bacteria in Brookside Farm milk.
 Use Brookside Farm Bottled Milk delivered daily. A guarantee of it's purity goes with every bottle | c. GIBSON, PRODUCRR.

Brilliant as has been the showing OF
the former champions. their success has
been attributed to the weakness OF the
teams they have met to date. It has been
argued that the eastern teams which are
apparently much stronger would not only
stop the Tigers, but give them a severe
setback. and for the next three weeks
there will be an opportunity to demon
strate this. OF course, it Is not to be ex-
pected that the team which Hugh Jen-

box.
1t was given out this morning that
there is a possibility that Feenan, Co

to class work. If such is the case it is
probable that Quinlan will be played on
first and Gibson showed in at short in
place Of Cogan. 1t has not been def
nitey decided just who will be played
in the outfield in place Of Hunt, provided
he does not take the trip.
Four games will be played. The first
will be tomorrow against the Army at

The fact is that all weather is lottery.
1t is one factor of base ball which the
owners can't regulate nor the fans. 1t
comes as 1t pleases and departs without
giving a continental concern as to whether
humanity likes it or not.
Logically the base ball season can be-
gin about the middle Of April Theoretical
ly, it is perfectly proper to slate out-of-
door sport for that season in many Sec
tons of the country.
Those who reside on the great lakes
aren't quite so certain of balm, If any
balm escapes during April. as those who
are further south and nearer the sea-
shore.
The most sensible thing to do in base
ball is to continue just as owners are con-
tinuing at present, schedule the games
when the break in winter Is supposed to
be at hand and try to play them. II they
can't be played at one time there Is a
chance to play them later.
