New ENGLAND Chestnuts Doomed.

Our native chestnut tree, for all its
long tenure of our hills and pastures,
is officially reported as facing complete
extinction. cut at once and market
quickly" is the state fOrester's advice.
Unlike moth and borer, the bacterial
blight that is killing the chestnut trees
attacks with an infection as subtle as
the breath of Il pestilence. The dis
ease is working across the state from
west to east, as if with the prevailing
winds. 1t has already overrun five
counties and has established centerS
through the rest. AS M In every
six of our timber trees is q chestnut,
the commercial loss in many areas will
be severe. No more farmers will send
their boys and girls to college, winter
by winter, from the sale of ties and
planks and posts from the rapidly
growing stands of straight chestnuts.
But the sentimental loss will entail
even more regret. The chestnut tree,
like It's close cousin, the beech and the
oak, has made its own place In our
rugged New England life. 1t enters
our stories and poems and tireside talk
as olive and palm enter the legends
and songs of the Mediterranean. Its
furrowed bark and open branching ac-
cord with our scenery and climate as
the durability and bold figure of it's

Retaining the Sword.

The Turks allowed General Town
Shend to retain his Sword-the same
honor which the Russians paid to Sir
William Fenwick Williams when he
was compelled to surrender at kafs.
The custom Is not uncommon in mod
err history. When Lord Methuen was
captured by Delarey, his sword was
given back to him and he was re-
leased. The Spanish Admiral Cervera,
who surrendered with no boots and
very few clothes on, had managed to
bring his sword on board Capt. Bob
Evans ship, and he was allowed to
carry it to q cabin that had been al
lotted to him. General Stoessel at
Port Arthur kept his sword, and at APP
pomattox Court House General Grant
allowed General Lee to retain his
weapon. When Napoleon III. surren.

find he does not come"
The idea!" flashed out dainty and
petite Grace. She rufled at the thought
OF any swain, foresworn or prospec-
tive, daring to place her In such a pre-
dicament, and Paul Leslie was pro-
~nouncedly of the former class. They
were not engaged, but Of all the eligi-
bio young men Of the village he had
tho most fully attracted her.
Paul had admired her from the first
day he had seer her, and had told her
so. More recently he had insisted that
they were made for n another, and
that he was gathering up the evidence
to prove 1t to her! She liked his
bright breezy ways.
Grace was on a two months visit to
her cousin, Norma Ellis. The pre-.
scribed period had nearly passed. That
evening there was a party at a villa
two miles away. Paul had promised to
call for her at seven o'clock. She pre-
ferred 70 90 on foot, she had told him.
Now she sat on the porch awaiting the
arrival Of her expected escort.
The clock inside the house struck
seven, then the quarter. Grace began
to grow impatient. Half past. A dainty
foot began to tap the porch floor faster
and faster. She darted a look town
ward full of real temper. She sprang
to her feet quite angrily as the clock
announced that Paul Leslie was forty
five minutes late.
TIow dare he!" she flared out. ooh,
| could almost scratch him!"
Then she jumped back into her seat,
affecting in her pose the utmost indif-
ference to everything in the world
save tho most intense enjoyment Of
rest and the soft perfumed evening air.
She had seen a white-garbed mascu-
line form coming down the road.

How They Save

Every Is minutes somebody walks
into one of our four large savings
banks and opens n new account.
That has been going on for weeks,
months and years, until now there are
over 401 900 different accounts. The
average amount Of money kept in bank
by each depositor is only u little less
than $500.
Our thrifty folk have the saving
habit. Every minute of every day they
lay aside $50 to put in the savings
banks. That may seem n small sum
until you multiply the minutes into
hours, the hours into days, days into
months and months into a year.
Then you have Il tidy total of SILL
