A HISTORICAL OLD TREE.
One Planted on Long island by Sena'

tor Rufus I. King.
Perhaps the most historic tree in the
vicinity of Jamaica is that on the
grounds Of King manor, in front Of the
east entrance, planted over hundred
years ago, it is believed. by Senator
Rufus l.. King himself. That the dis.
tinguiShed contemporary of Washing
ton and Jefferson and Hamilton and
brilliant defender of federal principles
planted this tree with his own hands
was testified to by the late Hon. John
A. King. grandson Of Rufus L. King, in
q conversation he had on the grounds
of the manor OH the occasion Of the
transfer Of the historic property to the
village Of Jamaica.
John A. King, in talking with Judge
Fleming ut that time, pointed to this
old sycamore or buttonwood tree and
had planted it. He said, 81 think I'll

or not, there is no plate there at the
present time.
There are several big holes In the
trunk, which have been filled in with
cement to preserve it. At one time it

the hole ut the bottom Of the trunk. 1t
Is related that in the days Of Rufus
King and his son. Governor King. there
was a bell on the tree. which was rung
when people appeared at the gate to
give notice that they stood waiting to
be admitted. The tree belongs to the

dence. Mrs. Rode will join her family
in about two weeks. Her health has
not improved great deal.
John C. Lowe and eldest son have
returned from an extended trip thru
the east. They made the trip over the
lakes from Duluth and visited Mont
real, New York city, Washington and
other points, spending some time in
northern Vermont.
C. X. Christensen, one of the most
progressive of Ward county's mer-

ness. C. K. Says that he did not get
back the price Of his seed on $50 acres
of wheat this year, but he isn't doing
any worrying and is getting along just

w. F. Hayes, who purchased 400
acre farm near Douglas last year, was
in town Friday. Mr.. Hayes does all
his farming with Mogul tractor and
this year put in a crop of 500 acres

E. L. Perry of Sawyer, who has been
engaged in bridge building during the
past summer, was in the city Satur-
day. He informs the Independent that
he has constructed eight bridges so
far this season. He just finished work

exceptionally good work and when he
completes a job of bridge work always
takes pains to fill the approaches so
there is no jumping of" place as is
the case in SO many instances.

companied by Peter Roemer of Mad

Origin Of Geometry.

There Is little doubt that the science
Of geometry had its origin in Egypt.
The annual overflow Of the Nile wiped
out all landmarks and boundaries. and
some reliable means Of measuring the
earth was an absolute necessity;
hence the rise of geometry, which
means earth measurement. From all
accounts the philosopher Thales took
the science from Egypt to Greece,
where it was greatly improved and
carried very near the perfection it
finally reached through the discoveries
of the celebrated Descartes of the sew.

Clean the carpet thoroughly, then
turn it worn side down and tack. 1t
will be better to tack it right on the
kitchen floor if you could get along
without the kitchen for a few days.
Otherwise, tack on some floor that
will not have to be used every day.
Then put on a coat of any good floor
paint, let dry thoroughly, finish with
a coat of good linoleum yarnish. This
will give you floor covering that will
be very easy on your feet, and i'm
pervious to water so long as the paint
lasts And the worn spots can be re-
painted as needed. This will, Of
course. give a paint color. After the
paint and varnish have thoroughly
dried the carpet can be rolled very
carefully and loosely to move it to the
kitchen, but the best way is to paint
1t right in the kitchen so that it will
not have to be moved, for the rolling
is liable to crack the paint and so
make it less impervious to water
