Save the Trees.

From the Chicago Tribune.
In a prairie land trees are more pre-
cious than diamonds.
No state in the nation ought to sur
pass Illinois in the care of trees. We
have no such proportion of forested
lands as nAny of the states, but what
we have are all important to us If we
but realize it, and we have much to do
in the way of protecting them and in
creasing plantations throughout the
state.
All along our open country roads and
rights of way trees should be planted
and jealously protected. They would
enhance the comfort and beauty of
travel and literally transform the land
scape in many districts. Without trees,
too, we have comparatively few birds.
which are be valued not merely as a.
PLEASURE, but as utility, for they are
the enemies of insect pests.
What we need first of all in Illinois
is a change of public attitude toward
trees Up to this time, in our lavish
American way, we have put little value
upon them, in spite of their relative
scarcity and their value and beauty.
There has been little attempt to pre-
serve them, and they have been re-
morselessly cut down or manned for
trivial reasons to suit the convenience
of road making or building. A tree
should never be lost IL 1t can be saved,
and neither public officials nor private
individuals should be allowed to sacri-
f1ce or injure them without some well
considered and compelling cause.

"Ice Is Food" "

From the st. Joseph Gazette.
OF course 'Ice Is food in Kansas" as
the attorney general of that state an
nounces in recent ruling on the sub
ject. Ice is food everywhere else in
America. too, as anybody knows who
has seen the small boy or girl glee-
fully grab a splinter and convert 1t into
an all-day sucker while it lasted.
There is a peculiar joy in eating ice.
Really, nothing else in the line of food
consuming quite compares to 1t. There
are refreshments which bite back, and
some with a delicious thrill-to say
nothing of few which possess a kick
that is a caution. But ice is all this.
yet different. You cant eat it very
rapidly, although you feel the neces-
sity of doing SO because 1t is melting
in your eager grasp. 1t chills while it
while you shrek from frigidity, and in
your little chunk of congelation, some
body else slips a silver down your back
so that you are iced within and with
out, like a modern theater with COOL
ing system. And as you flip your frag-
ment from one grimy paw to the other.
meanwhile trying to wriggle away
from the avalanche coursing down your
back, the bliss you experience is of the
kind SO aptly described as something
different"
Yes, ice is a food. 1t always has
been since boys and girls came across
the first shattered piece in the street
where the iceman of Eden or those
early Chaldean cities, or somewhere
Use in long ago made history. had been
chopping off 5 cents worth for an
economical customer. And it always
will be food, We ween, until the irp
ventiveness Of a more modern age
makes humanity self-icing by birth, and
spoils lot of fun that we of this age
recall so happily.

Since the engagement of Mrs. Gait to
the President OF the United States was

made In the press on both sides Of the

the famous Indian princess, but OF the
English side Of her ancestry far too

the house. its history covering CEN

an episode. albeit one OF the most pic
turesoue in American history.
Not until Mrs. Galt's engagement to
the American President was made
known did one person in thousand in
Bradford (and there are some 100000

since IL became known that, prior 10
her first marriage, she was Bo!ling
of Virginia and that the Virginia BOIL

Bof1ings OF Boiling Hall and Cheilow
Grange. which stand respectively on
the two hills topping the east and west
sides of the valley in which Bradford
itself lies, interest in the new mistress
of the White House has been keen.
and every chapter of the wonderful
story of the Bradford Bollings has
been recalled.
Strangely enough, the whirligig of
time has turned one OF the two-storied
mansions which Mrs. Gait may claim
as the homes ce her ancestors into a
museum, and the other into a golf club

doned by the new master. Edward ~,
and the Boiling estates were restored
to him.
We still hear of the Bollings having
an estate and residence at Chellow at
date thirty or forty years earlier
than the dissolution of the monasterles,
and they seern to have retained the
Chellow Grange through all troubles
and changes in the realm, eventually
coming into possession of the free
hold. Even before this event they ap-
parently were content to make Chellow
their principal seat. And SO we come
along to one of the many Tristram
Bollings, grandson of the Boiling
who came to grief during the wars Of
the roses. This Tristram had a fair
daughter (and only child named Rosa

Toward the end of the fifteenth cen
tury this Rosamund Boiling married

brides father honored it by making his
daughter and her husband a present of
Boiling Hall, and taking up. his own
residence at Chellow. At the time of
a w1dower, and he may quite we'll have
fancied that for his old age his
monastic grange, across the valley
from Boiling Hall, would suffice. And
so the present was made.
But Trfstram altered his mind, mar
ried again and had at least three sons
and two other daughters. His daugh-
ter Rosamund and her husband kept

sixteenth century. By Sir Richard
Tempest and his wife Boiling Hall was
partly rebuilt, and part of the build
ing. which forms Bradford's new
museum, belongs to that epoch. Both
the Hall and the Grange, by the bye,
are mentioned in Domesday book
At Chellow, meanwhile, the Edward

was succeeded by son, also named
Tristram, and this worthy squire it
was. In all probability. who was the
father of that 0ater) Col Robert Boil
ing who left home at fifteen and set
tied in Virginia in 1860, following the
trouolous days of the Stuart kings.
Pocahontas and John Rolfe had, of
course. only one child, Thomas The
latter. after the death of both his par
ents in England, returned to Virginia
in 1910 and settled at Henricopolis, six
teen miles below Richmond. His wife
was a Miss Poythness, and they, in
their turn, had only one child, the Jane
Rolfe who married Col. Robert Boil
ing, formerly of Chellow Grange Thus
we have every link in the chain of
Mrs. Galts ancestry and see that Chel-
low Grange is her real ancestral
home"
The last male Boiling of Che1low
was William Tristram, and he, in 169S,
sold out and moved to the adjacent viii
lage of Manningham. He had one son,
John, who died in 1929 Cor a year be-
fore his father). No children were born
of John Bolling's marriage, and his
wife, who first moved to Balloon, a few
miles away, and then went to London,
died in the British metropolis in 1873,
and devised her estate to her own
relatives, failing any. direct heir. And

over $4,000 persons.
Entering the great hall of the build
ing today Is like stepping into former
ration of the place. a wonderfully in
teresting collection of relics of an
tiquity has been housed in the ancient
rooms. The rooms of the hall date
from the fourteenth century to the
early nineteenth century, and the ex-
hibition has been arranged according
ly. to coincide with the chronology Of
the building.
In addition to this the contents of
the rooms harmonic in character with
the apartments For instance, in the
fourteenth century kitchen there are
ancient cooking utensils. in the living
apartments there are old chairs. tables
and pictures, while some examples of
ancient beds have been placed in the
bedrooms.
There is one in the so-called ghost
room.'' on the second floor, where. ac-
cording to tradition. the Duke Of New
castle saw his spook. Since the install
lation of this ancient bed. which future
American visitors will see, the room
may be assumed to have not one only.
but two spectral Inhabitants. For the
early seventeenth century bedstead is
associated with a grim legend. 1t was
at Ofrerton Hall, Derbyshire. until 1877,
having been removed there ninety
years previously from Tunstead.
The story goes that at one time the
bedstead belonged to an old miser
known as "Old Dicky of Tunstead,"
who kept his money in curious little
recess at the head of the bed which
visitors to Boiling can see today. 1t
is said that the miser was killed one
night while resisting thieves who had
discovered where he kept his money.
The legend is that any one daring
enough to try the experiment alone
is able. If the light of the full moon
be allowed to fall into the cavity. to
see the form of the old misers skull
there. but whether or no any bold
Bradfordian has yet tested the truth
of this is not on the record.
So far as can be discovered. not one
portrait of any of the Bollings exists.
There are a couple of panel portraits
in the ghost room" which were at first
thought to be those OF Rosamund Boil
ling and her husband, Sir Richard
Tempest, but also it has since been
discovered that they are merely paint
ed over earlier portraits of some other
and unimportant persons.
There is, however. whole collection
of interesting oil portraits by famous
masters, one, by Sir Peter Lely, rep
resenting Charles II, and another that
of Duke of Newcastle. who besieged
Bradford in 1643, and meanwhile occu-
pied Boiling Hall.

Thus. at least, the English records
