commander III chief had been Killed
and the foe was marching on the capt.
tai. In her distress she thought Of the
countryman who had said that for so
sweet and gracious a sovereign be
thought he could conquer all her enc
mics single handed. Ordering her
coach and her mounted bodyguard, she
drove out toward her retreating forces.
When she met them she sent at once
for Colonel Hans Berault and said to
him:
Colonel. you once said that for me
you thought you could conquer my
enemies single handed. wish you to
take command of this retreating army
and turn it against the enemy"
Your highness can make it posi-
ble," replied the colonel.
'How?"
II will order the army to halt as the
men come up. and you can tell them
the story of how became their leader
It will win them to your Support at
once, ard they will fight for you to the
| DEATH"
Then the troops we're collected as
fast as they arrived, and the duchess
told how Hans when a simple fellow
of the lowest grade had made her a
present of his cabbages and how she
had received his gift. They heard the
story with cheers. and when their new
leader ordered them to reform and
march back against the enemy they
sprang forward eagerly.
A peace was conquered, and vic
t0rious army marched back to the
capital. The duchess. who had loved
the countryman soldier ever since she
had first met him. after a consultation
with her ministers decided to offer him
her hand in marriage. He became
duke consort and added largely to the
possessions of his royal wife.

A Gift of
Cabbages
By EDWARD D. SIMPLIFY

One day couple Of hundred years
ago Hans Berault, a young countryman
who had never learned anything except
what he could pick up on the farm,
drove into the capital of the dukedom
of Flanders with load of cabbages to
sell in the market place. He was sur
prised to see flags flying from all the
windows. the people out in their best
costumes and every appearance of a
holiday.
Now Hans, who in his farm clothes
looked greener than the cabbages in his
cart, stopped beside the curb and asked
some men talking there what was the
occasion Of the festivities and was told
that the duchess. who had up to this
time been a minor, came of age that
day and would assume the reins of
government.
And what are those wagons so gay
~ decorated for? And where are they
going?" asked Hans.
'They carry presents to the duchess"
Now, Hans was good citizen. and
he bethought him that he. too, should
offer bis gift to his sovereign. so he
drove his cart toward the palace. in
tending to offer his cabbages to her
highness. On the way be stopped at a
shop and bought some flags. the largest
Of which he placed over the cabbages.
Then he went on to the palace, where
the wagons he had seen were drawn
up in the court, waiting their turn to
be unloaded. Hans pulled up at the
rear Of the line and waited too. When
his turn came the chamberlain asked
what he had and from whom it came.
"Cabbages from my farm, and offer
them to the duchess as my own gift as
her loyal subject" Hans replied.
With this the chamberlin grew red
in the face and began to berate Hans

for what he called his effrontery. a
mere country lout making a gift of
cabbages to the duchess Then he call
ed for guard to take him away.
Now the duchess. who was just eight
cen years old. was nightly interested
In her presents and was leaning out of
an upper window looking down watch
ing their unloading Seeing the pre-
dlca ment in which the honest Hans
had innocently placed himself. she sent
messenger down to say that Hans
gift would be accepted, and he was to
come into the palace to be thanked per
sonally by her royal self So the coun-
tryman was conducted into a richly
furnished apartment. where the girl
received him and thanked him for his
cabbages. She appeared to be much
touched by the loyalty of the simple fel.

ting calling for you than tilling the

Then she gave an order that Hans
should be given commission as lieu
tenant in one of her regiments. and

his valuable present
We can never be sure Of any heart
into which the little god of love will
not send one of his arrows. The young
duchess was at a most impressiOnable
age, and she could not forget the hand
some face and figure, the honest loyal
look of the young cabbage grower. She
gave orders that Hans was to be sent
to military school, and she kept track
of him. learning that he was a very
apt scholar and bid fair to make fire
soldier. Within a year he was pro.
noted to be captain and from that
time forward continued to advance
with equal rapidly till he commanded
a regiment $751;. ~. !.

engaged in war with the enemies OF

TIME TO Join WAR
Fly SWatters May Win District
Prizes This Month.
WORK NOW MUCH EASIER
Cooler Weather Makes Insects Less
Lively-Dr. Murray Work
ing on Charts.

Although the September fly campaign
is more than a week old, there is still
opportunity for prospective entrants to
join the war on the insects and be among
the district prize winners at the end of
the month.
Eight district prizes of the value of
S. each are to be awarded and in one or
two districts no competition has, as yet
developed. Last month one district lack
ed representation, which made impossible
the awarding of one of the prizes.
District Prize Winners.
While principal interest centers in the
grand prizes, only those contestants
who have figured in at least two or
more Of the monthly crusades stand a
chance to capture these trophies. Dis
trict prize winners on the contrary, will
be those who make the highest scores
this month
Information concerning the districts
now represented and those that are not
may be obtained by prospective entrants
from DR.. Arthur l.. Murray, supervisor
of the campaign. Three more weeks of fly
fighting remain. and in that time chill
dren who never have competed In con-
tests Of the kind may be able to make
sufficiently nigh scores TO be among the
winners Of the district prizes
Task Should Be Easy.
Fly swatting should be comparatively
easy this month. Cool weather makes
the insects droopy and less active in es-
Gaping danger. Already The Stars cru
saders have killed more than million
of the pests since September ]. and it
is expected that this weeks slaughter
record will be even larger.
1t is not unlikely that charts showing
the accomplishments of the five-month
fly war will be part of the District of
Columbia exhibit at the International
Congress on Hygiene and Demosraphy.
DR.. Murray is at work on the charts and
they will be a part of the EXHIBIT If COM

Trouble on Manokin River Fol-
lows Surreptitious Seizure
of Big Natural Bed.

CRISFIELD. Nd. September 9-Feel-
ing runs high among the oystermen on
the Manokin river over the seizure of a
hundred-acre natural tract of oysters.
One launch from a nearby section was
converted into a veritable arsenal when
the men pulled up the stakes which the
surveyors had placed.
There is complaint that these beds were
surrepticiously advertised at Princess
Anne, and that some OF the oystermen,
unable to read, signed away their rights,
thinking it was for a temporary dumping
ground.

Trouble is liable to break out at Carmal

go to any length to protect their rights.

revenue cutter Tarragon, who was sent
from Richmond waters to Delaware river
waters last week. says he will not be
