Experience Tells

The other day a travelling
salesman tried to sell me a new
Talking Machine. He claimed to
have the best machine on the mar
ket, and he did have a good one.
| told him that If he could beat the
Brunswick | would take on his
Agency.
We tried out various high-class
records, first on his machine then
on the Brunswick-Records made
by Caruso. Galli-Curci Alma
Gluck, and others. Neither OF us
could detect any difference until
we tried out a Piano Record. Then
he acknowledged that had him
beaten.
always knew that the Bruns-
wick was a good machine, but !
did not know how really good IT
was until we made this very exact
ing test.
say now, and unreServedly, to
any man or woman who is con-
templating buying Talking Ma
chine, that they are making a mis-
tate if they buy before trying out
the Brunswick.
1t may not be as loud as some
other machine, still no one wants
a brass band in the average sized
room; but If you have ear for tone.
if you want perfect reproduction,
the Brunswick will certainly be
your choice.
II gets its marvellous sweetness
Of tone from The fact that the sound
amplifier is entirely made OF wood,
and everyone knows that there has
never been any question OF the
fact that wood is the only sub
Stance that will properly care Tor
the vibration caused by all musical
instruments. Its reproduction OF
Piano Records is absolutely per-
feet
could write about the perfect
ion of the Brunswick machine al
day, and still overlook something,
but proof Of the pudding is In the
eating.
All that | ask is tina! before yon
finally decide TO buy a Talking
Machine just LET me give you
thorough demonstration Of the
Brunswick.

The Personalities of Trees.

1t was a beautiful thing about the
old Greeks that for them everything
in the world was full of life-as indeed
it is for everyone who has open eyes.
They believed that every tree was pos
sessed of a peculiar spirit. And they
were not far wrong in the matter eth
er. Trees are just as individual as
you and | are-in a way. II you have
not found that out then you have miss
ed whole book of most charming
stories. There are all sorts of trees,
Just as there are all sorts of folks; the
soldier trees, and the strong-man trees,
and the lady trees, and the hero trees,
to say nothing Of the lover trees and
the robber trees and the rest.
Surely you must have seen soldier
trees if you have ever been abroad in
the wild-the straight young trees OF
the forest, strong and confident, with
heads erect and arms at attention and
touching shoulder, for all
the world like soldiers in battle array.
And the strong-man trees-they are
the oaks and beeches and hickories,
that give strength to the world and
furnish the sinews for its toll.
Then there are the lady trees-I al
ways think Of the acacias and mag
nolias and tulip-trees as gracious wo-
men, filling the world with gentleness
and sweet refinement. Retiring by na-
ture, as becomes fair women, they
nevertheless bedeck themselves in
season with ornaments Of silver and
gold and await their wooers.
Next to come are the most servant
trees. came on a group OF them only
yesterday as was roaming over the
hills in that same ancient land OF the
Creeks-a group OF gnarled olive trees,
all knotted and bent with age. They
stood in a sheltered cove leaning to-
ward one another for all the world like
a group Of ancient retainers from some
great house who had gathered here in
the quiet nook for bit Of gossip. How
many years the old trees had been serv-
ing there! No fine lady trees they, to
grace lawn or drive with their pres
ence; but only plain servants standing
at their humble tasks, often neglected
and sometimes even abused. Yet they
had served faithfully through wind
and weather, oh, so long, gathering in
rich harvests Of fruit and oil for the
stores OF the great house,

Soldier Pardoned Pays With Life.


One OF the two American soldiers
sentenced to death for sleeping on out
post duty in France and subsequently
pardoned by President Wilson was kill
ed in the great Aisne offensive in July,
1918, and the other was twice wounded
and finally honorably discharged.
This was disclosed a few days ago
by an exchange of correspondence be-
tween Secretary Baker and President
Wilson.
Private Forest D. Sebastian, of El-
dorado, ILL.,, 20 years old, was killed
in the Aisne battle. Private JEFF Cook,
Of Lutte, Okla, aged 10, was wounded
in the same battle, but recovered to
again fight gallantly in the Argonne
offensive, where he received his Sec
ond wound.
In writing the President Of the gal
liant conduct Of the boys after the Presi-
dent had pardoned them, Secretary
Baker said:
"You will recall that early in 1918
four deaths sentences were presented
to you from France-two for disc5c
dience of orders you remitted 10 terms
Of imprisonment and two young boys,
Sebastian and Cook, who were convict.
ed of sleeping on outpost duty, you full
ly pardoned. 1t will interest you to
know that upon restoration TO duty both
made good soldiers. Sebastian died in
battle in the Aisne offensive in July,
1918. Cook was wounded in that bat
tie, and restored TO health in time to
fight in the Meuse-Argonne battle, when
he again fought gallantly and was the
second time wounded. He has now
been restored TO health through medi-
cal attention and has been honorably
discharged from the service"
President Wilson, in acknowledging
the Secretary's letter, wrote:
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness
in telling me about the records made
by Sebastian and Cook, the two young
sters who were pardoned for sleeping
on outpost duty. 1t is very delightful
to know that they redeemed themselves
so thoroughly, and it was very though
full of you to give me the pleasure OF
learning about it"

Between her hands. And then she dips
And smacks him one, right on the lips.
And then she pecks him two or three
Up where his top-knot used to be.

The Potato.

The New World has contributed
much to the material wealth OF the
nations, but if it had given nothing
more than the potato, every country on
earth would be her debtor. When the
Spaniards came TO this country they
found the Incas, that ancient people
inhabiting the slopes and valleys OF
the Andes, cultivating and eating
strange vegetable, bearing its fruit on
the roots instead of on the branches.
The Spaniards carried some OF those
tubers home when they returned, and
presented them to Queen Isabelle, who
thought them wonderful curiosities and
had them planted in the royal gardens,
but no attempt was made to eat them.
Some years after this some potatoes
were carried by the Spaniards to Viz
ginia, and from Virginia they were ia
ken to Ireland. Sir Walter Raleigh
is said to have brought the first speci-
mems from Ireland TO England, where
he gave them to Queen Elizabeth, try
ing to impress upon her their possible
value as food. After many years they
did become a staple article OF food;
not for human beings, however, but
for cattle and pigs. In times OF stress
the very poor turned TO them TO starve
of starvation. The soil Of Ireland
seemed to suit this waif from the
Andes, and in time they came to be an
important article of food, particularly
for the poorer people.
For long time the potato was look
ed upon as famine food, but after
awhile the well-to-do began to ap-
preciate its value, and it finally became
one Of the main crops of the Emerald
Isle. AS the Irish were about the first
people in Europe to open their hearts,
as we'll as their mouths, TO this alien
vegetable, il became known as the
"Irish potato" when BY rights it
should have been named the Peruvian
potato"
Occasionally a purple seed pod is
found on the potato tops, and il the
seed from these pods is planted, new
variety of potatoes may result; but
when the potato itself is planted, it
invariably produces its own kind. II
is said that the famous Early Rose po
tato originated from the seed of some
wild potatoes that were carried to Yer
mon from South America.
Luther Burbank, when a schoolboy
had heard Of the Early Rose and how il
originated, and was always on the look
out for potato seed, in hope that he
might succeed in starting some new va
riety. One morning, in passing field
Of Early Rose potatoes, he saw single
pod. He carefully marked the place
and patiently waited for the precious
pod to ripen. This particular potato
differs from any other varieties in that
a seed pod is extremely rare. And it
was for this very reason that young
Burbank was especially anxious to
plant the seed and see what would be
the result. The following season he
planted the seed, and from them came
the Burbank potato, now known all over
the world.

How the Potoulac's Fish We're
PLANTED"


70 claims for fame, but one Of its pop
ular pastimes, fishing, offer is a sur
prise to visitors" says bulletin from
the National Geographic society, which
has its headquarters in Washington.
The bulletin quotes from 8 COM
munication to the society by Hugh NJ.
Smith, as follows;
AS an example Of what may be done
for a large stream in the way Of benef-
icent acclimatization, the case OF the
Potomac river may be cited. The COM
mercial fisherman, the professional fly
caster, and the casual angler all have
cause to render profound thanks for
what has here been accomplished in
their interest.
"The most valuable non-indigenouS
fishes now inhabiting the Potomac are
the small-mouth and large-mouth black
bass. These most excellent food snd
game species are not native 70 this
river, but their introduction occurred
so long ago that the general public has
lost sight of the interesting facts con-
nected Herewith. Il was in 1884,
shortly after the completion of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, that LOT
of small mouth black bass from the
Ohio river were brought east in the
water tank Of a locomotive engine and
liberated in the basin OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal al Cumberland.
Having free access TO the Potomac, the
fish soon found their way to various
parts of the river, and inside OF ten
years literally swarmed in all the trib-
utaries from Mount Vernon TO the
head waters. At the present time the
species affords much sport from wash
ington to Harper's Ferry and beyond,
but is not common below The capital.
The introduction of the large-mouth
black bass into the Potomac basin was
accomplished by the Bureau OF Fish
cries in 1889, the first plants being
made in the Shenandoah and late. in
the vicinity of Washington. The straw
berry bass and the craPpy were estao-
lished in the Potomac by the Bureau
Of Fisheries in 1894, and both are now
common. They are excellent food and
game fishes, and many are caught by
anglers.
Other members Of the bass family
that have been colonized in the Po-
tomac are the rock bass, the Yarmouth,
and the blue-gill.
Not the least important Of the ad-
ditions to the Potomac fauna are two
catfshes from the Mississippi basin.
One Of them, the spotted or blue-cat,
is probably the best OF the tribe, in
habitating cold. running water, having
dainty feeding habits, possessed Of
game qualities scarcely inferior to
those Of the bass, and being excellent
food. Small plants Of adults and
yearling were made at Quantico, Vir-
ginia, and Woodmont and Hagerstown,
in 1889, 1891 and 1892; and since 1899
the fish have been taken in increasing
numbers each year, many Of them
weighing 10 TO 20 pounds.
There appeared in the river con-
siderable numbers Of another species,
the great fork-tsiled cat, Of the in
PRODUCTION Of which there was no rec
ord; so it is evident that the young
we're mixed with the spotted cats and
we're overlooked when the plants were
made. This fish reaches a weight o.
more than 100 pounds in its native
waters, and examples taken from the
Potomac by line fishermen have
weighed upward Of 30 pounds"
