In Legend Dating 1000 Years Be-
fore Coming Of Christ.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users Of tea as drink. and how 1t
originated is told in pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years be.

A daughter OF then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with a young noble,
man whose humble birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man
aged to exchange glances, and he oc-
casionally gathered few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man en-
deavored to give her few flowers;
but so keen was the watchfulness Of
her attendants all she could grasp was
little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig In water, and towards evening
she frank the water in which the
twig had been kept. So agreeable
was the taste that she even ate the
leaves and stalks. Every day after
wards she had punches of the tea
tree brought her. which she treated
in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
Of flattery, the ladies Of the court tried
the experiment and with such pleas.

throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became q

RECORD OF "THI7TEEN" YEAR
Period Of American History That
Brought Much Good to Nation
Europe Was at War.

In the year 1913 the thirteenth con-

ours!
James Madison was inaugurated IN
1918 for his second term.
Europe was at war. That year saw
the inception OF the alliance and the
mighty operations which resulted In
the overthrow Of Napoleon. The bat

Waterloo and a long period OF peace
and prosperous development.
In that year Argentina threw on the
yoke of Spain and established her In
dependence.
The resources of the printers art

cised more or less influence on the re-
