chlvalrous Man Probably Made Few
Remarks That May Be Expunged
From the Records.

A woman with Is bundles boarded
the street car the other afternoon
when / was on my way to my subur-
ban residence. She was a very pretty
young woman. / felt sorry for her
She was returning from a shopping
tour. Being man with kind heart,
I helped her upon the car and piled
her bundles about her. A man got on
at the same time and took seat on
the other side OF the young lady.
When the car came to my street /
was surprised to see her rise and be-
gin to pick up her bundles. Instantly
my sense of chivalry prompted me to
help her off the car, and, as ! was
going in the same direction. | asked
permission to carry her Is bundles
The man got off also and started on
ahead I was loaded down like cam
ell crossing the desert. In those pack
ages she had everything from an cleo
trio fatiron to a five-pound bag OF
prunes. We trudged along about a
half mile. The man turned In at

young lady thanked me and said:
"This is as far as go. | live here.
Thank you very much"
"But the man ahead Of us. the man
who came out on the car with us,

Historic Ciontarf.

Clontarf is one of the most historic
spots In Ireland. 1t was there that,
on Good Friday, April 20. 1914. Brian
Boru and the men Of Munster, Con.
naught and Meath fought the Danes.
Brian was killed in his tent; Sigurd,
Earl of Orkney and Caithness, per-
ished also, and 1900 Irishmen and
$4,000 Danes are said to have fallen.
Victory remained with the Irish, but
the Danes reoccupied Dublin.
In modern times O'Connell's mon
ster meetings for Repeal we're to have
eliminated at Clontarf. But the meet
ing was prohibited by the government,
and OConnell was put upon his trial
for conspiracy and convicted, though
the verdict was eventually reversed
by the house Of lords.

Judge Edward s. Turner, OF Warren
ton, Va, at Winchester Friday afternoon
rendered a decision in the case OF the
State entomologist against the Glass heirs
TO compel The cutting OF cedarS, damages
to the extent of $4,000 being asked by
the defendants. The court held that the
State had a right TO destroy the cedars
because they were injurious TO fruit, but
the defendants should be compensated to
the extent of $3.50. The suit was insti-
tuted to test the validly of the cedar rust
law, which the court held is constitutional.

Wood AS Fuel.

The laboratory staff Of the United States
Forest Service has studied the relative
value of various kinds OF wood as fuel.
They find that two pounds OF wood ordi-
narily give as much heat as one pound OF
coal Certain kinds of wood, such as
hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple,
ash, elm, locust, long-leaf pine, and cher
ry, have fairly high heat value; single
cord OF any one Of these woods is equal
to ton of good coal. To equal the same
amount OF coal, il takes cord and half
of short-leaf pine, sycamore, red gum,
Douglas fir, and soft maple, and two cords
OF cedar, redwood, poplar, catapa, Nor
way pine, cypress, Eastwood, spruce,
and white pine But heat value is not
the only element of usefulness in wood
used as fuel. Since niHety-iive per cent
of all wood that is burned is consumed
for domestic purposes, largely in farm
houses, such qualities as rapidity OF burn
ing and ease of lighting are important.
Each part OF the country has its favorite
woods, in general wisely chosen. OF
the nonresinous woods, hickory has the
highest value as fuel, and it has other
qualities TO recommends. II burns even
ly, and, as housewives say, holds the heat.
The oak comes next, followed by beech,
birch, and maple. Pine has relatively
low heat value, but ignites readily, and
gives out quick, hot flame, although one
that soon dies down. Its quick flame
makes il a iavorite with rural houSekeep-
ers as summer wood. The principal
disadvantage of the resinous pines is their
oily, black smoke.

DRAINAGE MAKES
WET LANDS PAY

Good drainage pays. Sometimes the
farmer gets his money back the first
year, but almost always through the
sale or use of the first few crops.
The drainage experience of one Wis
consin farmer should be known by
every man who is doubtful of the ad-
vantages to be gained from draining
wet fields. Here it is, just as it
was told few months ago to former
Governor w. D. Hoard, who for years
has urged the farmers Of this and 9th
er states to get out of the mud.
In 1902 a twenty-year-old boy grad
uate of de short course at University
of Wisconsin, came home to his
fathers farm. He tolC to his father:
Say, father, l saw some soil vich vas

the instruments from his school, and

out the window listlessly. She saw his
face in profile; and, as she watched it,
it changed. From light carelessness
the look on his countenance grew more
and more intense till he fairly
frowned. Suddenly he turned to her
with an exclamation that made her
jump.
"Flodie!" he beamed on her, now,
strangely Illuminated from his inner
thought.
What, Mr.. Bonistelle?" Flodie
knew we'll enough what was coming
"By Jove, I've got it," He pounded
his fist. It's the solution of the whole
problem. Hooray!" He walked over
to her, and shook his finger. "Flodie,
d'you know whom I'm going to marry?
You'll"
She jumped up as if he had struck
her, and retreated few steps, almost
in fear. Manlike, he had uncon-
sciously done the wrong thing at just
the right time. He had struck her
secret sorrow, and the pain was, for
the moment, unbearable. Flodie cow
cred, shrinking away from him, star
ing, unable to speak a word.
He followed her up with all his ego
ism. why, see here, Flo!" he ex-
claimed. Its all as simple as day
light. Why in the world didn't think
of it before? Here we are bully good
pats-get along fine, don't we?-never
had single quarrel. You're right;
you're the only one that does care
enough for me to make me work and
keep me up to my best. 1 believe you

little gold locket, unclasped the chain
and handed it to him.
He looked at her in surprise. Lord,
I should think you were going to COM

Don't be SO silly! Imagine your being

the token.
But your wife might object, Mr..

Flodie turned away and sat down

Funny thing, too, when you come to
think of it, isn't it?'
"Why?" She looked up, startled.
"Oh, l don't know-here all day

clutched her heart. Hall was gazing
