Wed After Many Years.

Wed After Many Years.
LIE Mars, Aug. 3.-The marriage here
of John Ruble and Mrs. Virginia E
Hord, eliminates a romance that dates
back to the days of the civil war.
While in the southland in the sos,
fighting for the preservation of the
union. Ruble met winsome girl n
her teens, who in spite of her fathers
devotion to the fallen cause, loved the
boy in the blue uniform.
The short meeting led from friend
ship to love. But. as the campaign
against the south continued, Ruble's
detachment was ordered to the east
ern coast.
Years past and Ruble often thought
of his southern sweetheart. But thru
the terrible days Of suffering and want,
occasioned by the reconstruction period.
he failed to hear from his girl friend.
The same was true of the girl. She
often thought and tried to get in COM
munication with him. She wrote to
the war department but no trace Of
John Ruble could be found.
Finally they forgot each other. Both
were married. Ruble came west to
LIE Mars. His wife died several years
ago. The girl too was married and her
husband died.
At the great reunion at Washin gton,
D. c., two years ago. they CHANGED to
meet. He was II years old and she a
few years younger. The old love again
sprung up. Together they visited the
scenes Of the capitol city. They each
returned to their respective homes.
But that ever superior love king,
Cupid, continued to ply his art, and the
romance was eliminated here.

Tree. and Wind.

The effect of wind upon trees is pow.
erful. Even the presence or absence
of forests may be determined by the
character of the prevailing wind OF
the conditions that modify it. The
wind acts as drying agent giving q
special aspect to many plants. When
it is almost always from the same
quarter the plants show greater deyel-
oplnent upon one side. Trees are small
er on the windward edges of forests,
and trunks ana branches are bent to
leeward. The determinations are most
marked near the sea or in fat regions.
The cherry, plum. walnut, black pop
lar, ash and certain pines are very
sensitive to the wind, but mountain
pines and certain frs offer great pow
ers of resistance, and these are rec.
commended for reforesting wind swept
lands.
