Famous Tales and Legends Told in Brief Form
4 Love Story Of the Battle. Scared Land
Copyright By J. ". Muller
BY J. M. MULLER

A warder ran to the knight, who was
wan and broken from long hours of I'M
availing grief. "Oh, sirw cried the
man. There Is before the draw-bridge
most wondrous lovely woman, clad
richly in scarlet and gold. Never have
we seen any so slim, so dainty, SO
sweet! And, lord, she rides ON your
hOrse"
The knight bounded down the stairs
and through the portal. He lifted down
the bride, kissing her hundred times
and more. Then he sent for chaplain
and led her to the chapel Of his house
where they were married forthwith
In the meantime, there was wild
trouble among the wedding party. The
old lord and the old bridegroom tore
their boards and laid Justify with whip
and boot on the guards, who made mad
clamor, blaming each other. To them
at last spurred rider sent by Messira
William with this message:
"Sir, my master sends you assur-
ance of his great friendship. He a1s0
charges me to say to his uncle, who
betrayed him so shamefully, that he
pardons him the more easily for the
reason that your daughter has given
herself to him as gift this day."
The old lord listened with wonder
and anger. But he took thought to
himself, and concluded that since she
was married, nothing he could do
would undo it. Therefore, presently,
all the company rode peacefully to the
knights castle, where the old noble
embraced his undesired sOn-in-law with
all courtesy, while the graybeard of a
bridegroom who was not bridegroom
tried in vain to discover few crumbs
of comfort that might console him.
Failing in this, he went home and
died, which was q favor to Messire
William, since all his wealth went to
the knight. And there is no trouba,
dour in Champagne who ever has told
or sung this story who was not forced
to add, in accordance with the truth.
that there never was horse in all tina
world that was so honored and beloved
as the horse that stole the bride and
brought her to her bridegroom.
The famous stories of the middle
ages we're preserved by three Ggen-
c:es-the trouueres, Who lived usw-
ally among noblemen, and often
we're poets and originators;; the trou-
badours, who Were wandering Mir
strels and generally recited other
mems tales and verses;; and the
learned monks, pho set the more
important legends down in writing.
One of the latter aOas monk of

Washington, d. C., April 1.-THE
home gardener must count almost in
evitably upon the presence in his gar
den Of plant diseases and pests, says
a new Farmers Bulletin of the U. s.
department OF agriculture, No. SIS,
pointed out that IL these are not COM
bated they win interfere seriously
with yields or even destroy the plants.
1t is hard for some gardeners to
realize the importance of making
early provision to combat these
enemies Of plant life. 1t can not be too
strongly emphasized. however, that
such provision is Of equal Importance
with other phases of gardening and
that 1t should under no circumstances
he neglected. The wise gardener does
not wait Tor the appearance of insects
ana diseases. but takes steps to COM
bat them py spraying the plants at
reasonable intervals from early spring
until his crops have been harvested,
or by cfl.er protective measures. He
thus insures himself against the like
lihcod OF loss.
The necessary implements and ma
terials for protecting the home garden
against insects and diseases should be
consist Of a substantial hand sprayer
and the necessary concentrated solu-
tions, which, after dilution with wa
ter are to be sprayed on the plants.
The diseases which affect garden
plants may be divided into two groups,
parasitic and constitutional diseases.
The parasitic maladies, such as the
blights, are caused by fungi or germs,
and usually may be prevented or con-
trolIed by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture. Little 10 known, however, OF
the socaIled constitutional diseases,
and little can be done TO prevent their
ravages. IL some malady which does
not Yield to treatment with Bordeaux
mixture manIfests itself on isolated
plants In the garden. 1t may be well
to pull up these plants and burn them
The insects which attack garden
plants may be divided into two groups
those which eat or chew the fruit or
foliage and those which suck the plant
juices. Eating insects may be killed
usually by spraying poisonous solu-
tons or busting powders on the plants
which they attack ATsenate Of lead

TO be used soon. All vegetables should
be washed carefully before they are
eaten, regardless Of whether they have
been sprayed.
Most Of the garden plants may be
guarded against disease and at the
same time protected from attack by
eating insects By spraying at intervals
Of two weeks with a combination of
Bordeaux mixture and arsenate OF
lead.
Other methods Of protecting plants
from the larger eating insects are to
pick the pests by hand or knock them
with a stick into pan containing wa
ter on which a thin film Of kerosene is
floating. Insects collected by hand
should be destroyed promptly. Young
plants may be protected by setting
over them wooden frames covered with

COMPLETED
BY BOARD
Committee Successful. in
Purchasing Land Near
Dickinson for Normal.

Dickinson. N. D.. April 12.-Last
week Dickinson chronicled the fact
that three of the Commercial club
membership journeyed to Minneapolis
with a view Of deal for 200 acre
plot of ground west of the city, part
Of which was selected by the board of
regents for the normal site.
This $4,000 deal was contaminated,
and the normal site as selected Is
secured together with ample room for
parking and landscape work all
around the site for the buildings and
private residences.
Dickinson feels that the state re-
sponded so nobiy in the matter of
voting Dickinson as the ideal spot for
a normal, that nothing is too good for
the incoming teachers for this western
city.
The appropriation for these next
two years is so small. that very little
can be done towards any real imme-
date aggressive work. but that the
voters may know Dickinson's attitude
the citizens and commercial club are
planning on the future legislature for,
the complement of its immense needs.

PREVENT ROAD DUST
WITH THE ROAD DRAG.

Dust in the road is largely caused
byethe~breaking up OF the ridges form
ed when the road bed Is wet from
standing water. If the road bed is
kept well crowned and smooth water
will run OFF. The surface will soften
up some in case OF a long rain, but
it will not be nearly so bad as when
there are ruts which hold the water
The wheels of each passing vehicle
makes the rut a little deeper. The
best way to keen the road bed smooth
Is to run over ii with the road drag.
This should be done soon after II
rains. The soil Is then soft so IL can
be easily scraped. Any projections
will be scraped off and dropped into
any depressions. The harrow also lays
the soil down in LAYERS 1t sort 81

ing since last October. Louis Schrader.
38 years old. was found dead IN the
Sheyenne river near his late farm
home in this vicinity. The mans body
was so badly ,decomposed that identifi-
cation was possible only through a
picture of his wife and a hunting
license found in one pocket.
Coroner Holbert said that he ala not
believe an inquest would be necessary.
He attributed the drowning to suicide
prompted by insanity. on the grounds
that Schrader has been acting strange
ly for several days prior to his sdisap-
pearance, nearly six months ago.
The body was discovered near the
ram here by Chief of Police Knut Axel,
who succeeded in pulling it out of the
stream by means of rowboat. Be-
sides the picture and license, a guam
tity Of silver money was found in the
mans clothing.

files on land, to apply the time he is

This offer made only to men working
