WHAT A YANKEE CAPTAIN DID

Amidst Shot and Shell, and
bob" Evans Approved.

Capt. Henry Blachford was one of
those old New England sea captains
who "lived better stories than the nov.
elist can make up" as somebody has
said. Captain Blachfords death at the
age OF eighty-three at West Yarmouth
reminds me of an incident In his ca
reer that was typical Of the old Yam.
kee mariners Of past generations, q
writer in the Boston Post states.
On one voyage he arrived at Rio
Janeiro while rebellion was going
on, and while a rebel feet was block
aiding the port. He was notified that
If he tried to enter he would be sunk.
Three hundred other vessels lay out
side, overawed by the same threat;
but the Cape Cod mariner refused to
be bluffed.
Hosting an American flag at each
masthead he started to enter the har-
Dor. A shot was fired across the
ships bow, but Captain Blachford
sailed steadily on.
He triumphantly entered the har-
Dor; the other vessels followed; the
blockade was ended; that ended the
rebellion, and Fighting Bob" Evans,
who had witnessed the affair, person.
ally visited Captain Blachford to con-
graduate him. They were men after
each others hearts, that Cape Cod
mariner and that naval hero.

Bitter Pill.

The night was pitchy dark; and
Robinson seemed to have been driv-
ing his car round and round In circles
for some hours and hours. He hadn't
the foggiest notion where he was; in
fact, had lost his way completely. The
hour was midnight. and now 1t had
just begun to rain.
Robinson felt very bitter toward the
world. At length he came upon what
appeared to be a signpost; though
what was written on 1t, try as he
would, he could not see. He shook the
post, and swore at 1t. But that helped
him not at all.
So, taking off his shoes, he fumbled
in his pockets and eventually brought
out box Of matches. Luckily 1t con-
tained a match-just one match and
no more.
Slowly and with much labor, Robin
son proceeded to climb the post; and
at the top. anxiously and carefully. he
struck the match,
What he said then cannot be print

showed these three words:

At German seaside places they have
a way Of assigning each bather
number. These numbers are conspicu.
ously displayed on beach chairs, tents,
and bathing dresses. The two young
women In the swimming suits who had
been drawing the eyes of all behold
ers were very agreeably posed as
group, when they caught sight of
third young woman coming toward
them across the sands.
"My." said the one in the red cap.
"but Laura Is wearing big number
on her suit. What Is It's, 000?"
"Oh. don't you know" giggled the
nymph in green. THAT isn't really
Lauras number. That's the figure of
her dowry."

ENEMY TO BEAUTIFUL TREES
cottony Maple Scale In Past Ten
Years Has Wrought Serious DAM
age to Many Valuable Trees.

The cottony maple scale Is an In
sect that for the past ten years mas
been a serious enemy to thousands OF
beautiful and valuable trees. me
food plants of the scale are numerous.
the most important being the soft
maple, linden, box elder. elm. oak.
willow, poplar, beech, hawthorn. syca'
more, locust, blackberry, osage-orange.
mulberry, grape. poison Ivy. Virginia
creeper, rose, gooseberry, currant'
peach. plum. pear and apple
In dealing with the insect It ls
necessary to consider in each case the
advisability of artificial means OF con-
trolling it. In some localities the ma
tural enemies OF this pest have done
very efficient work. making In many
cases applications of remedies mad
visable. The Illinois experimental
station states that the scale appears In
great numbers at intervals OF eight or
ten years.
The infested trees, advises the de-
partment, can be treated during the
dormant season with a strong solution
pf kerosene emulsion without any In
fury to the trees This emulsion used
at rs per cent or more in strength, or
whale oil soap at the rate OF one
pound to a gallon OF water, has been
reported to be very effective In killing
the scales hit by the spray.
In spraying during the period when
the trees are in foliage weaker So
tuition must necessarily be used. 1t Is
cot safe to use kerosene emulsion
stronger than 10 to II per cent. oil.
and even at this strength there might
be a slight injury to the foliage. II
has been demonstrated that single
application of a 10 per cent kerosene
emulsion applied at the proper time
In summer will destroy about two
thirds Of the recently Matched insects
and two applications, one applied at
the middle and the other at the END
OF the Matching period will destroy
four.ffths OF them.

Golfer Without Arms.

An armless golfer is a regular player
on the Buffalo County club links. BY
means OF his mouth, chin and shout
ders he does practically everything
possible for normal golfer to accom-.
plish, and he does 1t we'll. For two sue
cessive years he has won the title and
trophy presented by the club to the
caddie covering the 10 holes In the
lowest score. He also plays pool and
billiards we'll, grasping the cue firmly
between the chin and shoulder as he
does the golf-stick. He writes legibly,
too, picking up the pencil with the
