caused by dropping a lighted match

dollars or more. The barn was one
OF the largest and BEST equipped of
any in the parish. We undstand Mr.
Dunn carried some insurance.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-01-31
"elack Men" Of ENGLAND,

Practically every Englishman ia
Anglo-Saxon by blood, but there still
are, according to scientists, one or
two corners In England where there
are colonies directly descended from
the ancient Britons, the blue.painted
men who, according to the history
books, inhabited England before the
Anglo Saxons killed them of.
II you came across them you would
at once notice something curious
about them. They do not look like
Englishmen at all. They are short, as
swarthy as Spaniards, with very mar.
row heads. and with curiously cut
proflles.
There are whole villagefuls of these
modern ancient.Britons, though the
villages are very few and very out of
the way. It is this out-of.the-wayness
that has kept them so distinct from
the country people around them.
Some Of these villages have not
even had road communication with
the rest Of the world till comparative
ly recent times.
One Of these curious colonies is at
Dunsfold. In Surrey. Bedfordshire,
too, has some villages Of black men. "

Strenath Of Eco Shells.

Most people are aware Of the power
Of egg shells to resist external pres
sure on the ends. but not many would
credit the results of tests recently
made. which appear to be genuine.
Eight ordinary hens eggs were sub
mitted to pressure applied externally
all over the surface Of the shell, and
the breaking pressure varied between
400 and 675 pounds per square inch.
With the stresses applied internally
to IL eggs, these gave way at pres
sures varying between 80 and IS
pounds per square inch. The pres
sure required to crush the eggs varied
between 40 and rs pounds. The av-
erage thickness Of the shells was
thirteen-thousandths Of an inch.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
THEIR WEDDING GIFT
BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

Whiz!
Around the corner came the auto
mobile, driven at reckless rate Of
speed, an anxious.faced young man at
the wheel. There was a cry sharp
and terrified, then ringing clatter,
the cry echoed in masculine accents.
There was a loud crash, and the vii
lage marshal a square away came
sprinting to reach the man who had
precipitated double disaster.
The whirling machine had only
grazed a fair young girl because a
chance pedestrian hastily pulled her
back from death. The corner Of a
parcel she carried, however, was
struck by projection of the auto and
dashed to the sidewalk.
The driver of the auto leaped to the
ground quickly. He ran over to the
young girl, who leaned against tree
half fainting.
"She is not hurt. Thank heaven"
he cried fervently. Then he saw the
official approaching. His face grew
grave. "Will he stop me?' he asked
of the young man who stood half sup.
porting the girl
HE certainly WILL" was the definite
reply. You were exceeding the ,peed
limit recklessly and they are very
severe here. You will have to 60 to
the court"
Impossible! My friend" cried the
man. II am on a vital urgent mis-
sion. The seconds count and delay
may sacrifice human life"
Quick, then" spoke the other, and
he touched the long auto buster his
companion wore.
What do you mean?"
I'll take your place. OF with 1t.

The next moment Willis Reeves
wondered what stirring impulse had
actuated him to assume a penalty for
person he had never seen before.
He had whipped the coat from the
owner Of the auto and donned 1t in
fash. The machine sped away, its
owner shouting out some inaudible re-
assuring promise drowned by the
noise Of the exhaust.
The young girl recovered from her
half dazed condition. She tottered
over to where the parcel had been
dashed to the ground. It clinked and
clattered. She opened it, gazed at

Farmers 10 That Vicinity to
Plant q Heavy Acreage
THIS Year

jamestown, n. D., April. S.--More
alfalfa seed than ever before in the
history OF the county will be sown in
Stutsman county this spring. Some
thing like three tons of the seed will
be distributed this spring through
the efforts of Messrs. Borchert and
McNary and it will give some farmers
their first acreage, while others who
have already started fields will in.
crease them. Those who two years
ago put in their first seed and added
to the acreage last season are this
season going to SOW more seed than
ever before. Some who planted 40
lbs, of seed in 1912 and 100 lbs. III
1913 are this year going to put in 300
lbs. The value of his plant for hay
and forage has exceeded expectations
and some who were doubling have be-
come enthusiastic.
Mr.. BOrchert now has orders for
2,625 lbs of seed. Mr.. McNary has Or
ders for about 5000 lbs and requests
are coming in for more.
Most of the seed is secured from
high lands in western South Dakota
where the cold is greater than here
and whore the rainfall is less. Some
of the seed comes from a field TWEEN
ty.etght years old. Some fields in
Germany are IS to so years old.
The seed will cost laid down he

JUDGING PAINTINGS.
Expert Advice on How to Go Through
 Piature Gallery.

FlNhllS
 I should recommend you to so through a picture gallery as one seek ing the face of q friend in a crowd and to let yourselves be led on by your sympathies. If you admire the work of man. find out all you can about him: see his work as much aa you can. especially his beginnings.
 In our times distinction is made be. tween painting which is decorative and painting which is pietoriab which is. ! think. an unfortunate distinction. and one which should not exist. for all pictures should decOrate the walls or places on which they are placed. That this distinction Shonld exist is perhaps our own fault in forgetting as We do sometimes that picture should be agreeable to the eye Ill its color and musSes--the good old painters never forgot that
 It seems 10 ne that taste in pie. turc iS something like natural good manners in man. not depending on the clements the clothes-Of the picture, but on the temperament 1t displays and the measure of it's harmony with our acknowledged standards, for mans picture reveals his outlook on the world and is ih that sense part of him If We choose a person for a friend. We like him, let us say, to be simple and natural. reliable and with out swagger. Whether he is rich or poor. grave or gay. does not matter so long as we can depend on him.
 And 1t seems to me that picture to be in good taste must have analogous qualities-that it should, like our ideal friend. be in accord with the best standards. It should be in harmony with the hest we know.-From Royal Academy Lectures on Painting" by George CIauSen. R. A. R W. S.
