From Fridays Daily.
Twice it has happened within not
many months that pugilistic spirits
have resulted in the services of To-
cal fire department attaches being
called into requisition at local the
atrical gatherings.
1t will be remembered that a fight
on Front street in front of moving
picture house some months ago re-
suited accidentally in the calling of
the fire department, just because the
words fire" and flight" sounded so
much alike over the telephone, and
the motor truck was hurried to the
scene.
The second instance occurred last
Tuesday night, behind the scenes of
a local theatre, when Second Assist
ant Chief A. d. Beach told two mem
bers of theatrical troupe, who were
showing indications of settling their
difference of opinion with a trial by
fistic encounter, that if they wanted
to fight, they would have to go out
in the alley.
1t was said today that one of the
men, a little vaudeville actor, had
evidently been drinking too much
"buttermilk," and the result was that
the leading lady refused to go through
her part with him. There were high
words among the members of the
troupe. and the result was that the
show, then only half over, was de-
clared off. Chief Beach advised that
the house be informed that one Of
the actors was ILL., The people were
dismissed, but were allowed to come
the next night for the same admis
sion.
Engagement Called Off.
This show was to have been given
all week in Mankato, but the full
program was given only twice and
that was on Monday and Wednesday
evenings Tuesday night, when the
rumpus occurred, only half the pro-
gram was given. 1t was good show,
full of excellent music, dancing and
Jokes, but somehow it did not make
a hit
Yesterday it was decided to call it
off for the rest of the week, and
the whole troupe managed to OBJ
tain permission to go to Lake Crys-
tai on a freight train. This made it
possible to give the show there last
night and it will be repeated tonight
The company is scheduled to per-
form at St. Peter on Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday evenings.

The newly elected president of the
Minnesota Forestry association, E.
NJ. Lehnerts, is anxious to have more
people throughout the state plant
evergreen trees. He believes that the
value of these species for shelter
belts and wind5reaks, and for beauti-
flying the home grounds, is not fully
appreciated. He says they are long
er lived than most of the hardwood
species and practically as easy to
grow
In an interview today, Mr.. Lehn-
erts said: "At a meeting of the exec
Iutive committee of the Forestry as
sociation, it was decided that here
after the one dollar annual dues
paid by anew members and for re-
newals will entitle each member to
a prize of twenty-five young pine
trees, either white, Norway, Scotch,
jack or yellow pine. These trees
will be in addition to the associa-
tons magazine, ''The North Woods
and Wild Life"
If applications are sent to the
treasurer of the Minnesota Forestry
association, ST. Paul, prior to May
%, the little trees will be sent by
parcel post at once. Applications
received after that date will be held
over until next spring. Yellow, Scotch
and jack pine are particularly suit
able for the western and southern
portions of the state; white and Nor
way may be used elsewhere"

modest Massachusetts farmer. was

While living in New York City, on
Duane Street, he came home one July
day, nearly overcome with the heat,
and with nothing to drink but the
tepid water of the city-ice being un-
known in those days in the summer
months--he exclaimed to his wife:

that charming idyl of bucolic New
England sprang into sheathless life
and fame. The music is said to have
been adapted from ancient Scottish
melody by Frederick Smith. Wood
