AN AGGREGATION OF ABSURDITIES
A kinu In the Hole.

One of cur naval officers tells Of an
incident that occurred when an Amer
lean war vessel was lying at anchor
in u European port on which occasion
it was visited by monarch with his
suit.
One Of the members of this suit, re-
splendent in gold lace and decorations,
with a big sword at his side and sport
ing a huge mustachc, was exploring
the ship, and, being ignorant Of things
nautical, had leaned against the main
hatch wind sail, mistaking it for Il
mast. OF what ensued the officer Of
the deck was informed by the boat
swain's mate, who had seen the catas-
trephe and who broke the news OF it
thus:

~ NE hundred years ago til!S ilIonth
the United States WAS in the
thick of war With Great Britain.
1t was the first serious dispute
after the Revolution.
Trouble had been brewing since the
fight for freedom had ended. In view
of the attitude of England, the general
congress asked the several states to
endOw 1t with power for fifteen years,
by means of which it might cause Eng
land to be more liberal. 1t was III
tended to keep out English goods, as
American exports wera Disseminated
against by Great Britain. But the ap-
peal Of congress was in vain. Difficult
ties soon arose between the United
States and Great Britain. each accus-
ing the other with infractions of the
treaty Of peace John Adams was
sent to England In an endcavor to ar
range matters, but he could accomplish
little.
Things became worse until congress
was placed on a higher basis and
George Washington was elected presi-
dent and John Adams vice president.
This was in 1889.
TROUBLE OVER sEAMEN
About five years later millions of dol
lsr worth Of American goods were
done away with by Great Britain.
American people were violently agi-
tated. Another and more serious move
which perhaps did more to open hostili-
ties between the two countries was
the imprcssmens Of American seamen
into the British service. High wages,
humane treatment and security from
danger to be found in the American
service had attracted many British
sailors to it. Threatened with a weak
ening Of her naval strength, England,
ou the theory that "once an English
man always an Englishman." took
from American ships British tnd
American sailors alike, inpressing them
into the royal navy.
At times American ships We're left
helpless in midocean because of in
sufficient crews TO man them. War
seemed now inevitable. Chief Justice
John Day was then sent to England to
seek settlement of all questions in
yolved in the controversy. He was
partially successful.
1t was during Adams term in Office
that,a second impressment Of scamcn
was male. After Jefferson was made
president another series OF depreda-
finns on American commerce and sea-
rccn commenced. President jefferson
suggested in 1907 that an embargo be
placed on all American shipping. This
solved nothing. In place OF the en-

the summer and autumn of 1871 which
tended to widen the breach with Eng
land. The Indians on the western
frontier formed Il confederation against
the United States. Tho famous Shaw
ice chief Tecumsch was Mt the head
of the movement. In a battle OH Nov

William Henry Harrison gained COM

joined the British. and 1t was believed
that the British had iustlSated his at

warlike feeling existed in that body.
After long and weary debates war final

on June 1S. 1912. The army nt that
time amounted to 6.144 regulars, which
was increased to 25.O0O by congress,
and law provided for second volun-

army during the war never exceeded

table as it may seem, it not unfre- quently happens that private owners of laurel-covered hillsides are willing, for a few paltry dollars, to let the foreigners from the city go ahead and rob the hills of their beauty-not for the present sea- son alone, but for all time, for it is a matter of common report that these rapac1ous florists" are not content to merely take the flower bearing twigs, but they so thoroughly mutilate or up root the bushes that their blossoming days are over.
 The fact seems to be that the laurel and the fern are not "as highly prized by thelr native owners" for the beauty they impart to the landscape and the joy they give to beholders, as they are by the foreign vandals for the money there is in them. Otherwise some way would be found to protect them and pnt an end to the ruthless work of extermi- nation.

ExTERMINATING THELAuREL

A righteously indignant citizen of Falls Village sends the following to The News
 ''The people of Falls Village and the country surrounding are coming to the realization that the foreign wholesale florists of New York and Boston are en- riching themselves at the permanent ex- pense of the beauty and attractiveness of this country. It is hoped that some public action will soon make it evident that the laurel and the fern are as highly pr1zed by their native owners as they are by their new gatherers-especia when they reach the city markets
 Is this not a matter to be dealt with by Che energy of the Village Improve ment Association? Is there not state law forbiding the extermination of the state fower-the wild laurel ?'
 The village improvement associations might exert wholesome influence in the direction of saving the laurel from extermination at the yanda1 hands of these foreign freebooters, by either pur- chasing or leasing the land on which the laurel grows, or arousing the present owners to realizing sense of the ne- cessity of throwing the despoilers over the fence.
 Unfortunately the state, which has adopted the laurel as the 'state flower, " makes no provision for protecting it from extermination, though it affords @ safe guard for the owners of the land in the shape of 8 statute providing a penalty for trespass. In the case of large tracts of wild land upon which the laurel fourishes, the title is frequently vested Tn some corporation or syndicate of ab sentee owners to whom soul and senti ment are entirely foreign; and, regret
