Knights Vowed to Engage to War
III for Holy Land.

In 1853 Philip The Good, duke OF
Burgundy, vowed I"by the peacock" to
go to the deliverance of Constantine
pie, which had recently fallen into the
hands of the Turks. At the conclusion
of the tournament and banquet held by,
the duke 1T Lille, Holy Mother Church,
in the suise Of a lady in mourning
seated on an elephant and escorted by
a giant, approached the duke and de-
livered long versitied complaint.
ciainiing the aid and succor of the
knights of the Golden Fleece.
The herald advanced, bearing on his
fist live peacock or pheasant, which.
according to the rites of chivalry, he
presented to the duke. At this extraor-
binary summons Philip, wise and
aged prince, engaged his person and
powers in the holy war against the
Turks. His example was initiated by
the barons and knights of the assem-
bly,; they swore to God, the Virgin,
the ladies, and the peacock.

Englishman, End the only one Of that
nation whoever occupied the papal

Must Keep on "Makina eood.D

Life is an everlasting struggle.
Nothing but the keenest attention to
its great problems will bring lasting
success. There are many that gain
temporary attention and they think
they have made a name for them
selves. The fact is there are thou
sands of others with just as much
head striving for a place in the sun.
They are watching every loophole for
an opportunity. Often the fellow who
starts right with a small lead can
achieve almost anything he sets out
to. So folks have learned to take adj
vantage Of everything that turns up
CT that they Gun turu up. That means
you are never safe in resting on past
laurels. It's case of making good
eternally or falling down before you
have finished your course.

Frances oak Trees Threatened.

While endeavoring to recover from
the rayages Of war the forests of
France are also struggling from the
ravages Of parasitic growths which
seem to be especially disastrous to the
oaks. These are the country's most
valuable tree, constituting nearly 30
per cent of the forest area. This tree
seems to suffer especially from the funr
gus Oidium, which appeared in the
province of Champagne about 1907.
and is doing such damage that the eS-
termination of the oak in France is
foreseen. Young trees-particularly
coppice shoots of the current year
are most susceptible to attack, though
seedlings up to ten years of age have
been destroyed. No remedy has yet
been discovered.

Ronald Young was bored, Hs had

LETTER CLEARS
MYSTERY OF
1L0ST" FARMER
Fred TOusant, Who Left
Danville Home Writes
From Milan, N. H.

The mystery surrounding the
Disappearance of Fred Tousant, a
we'll known Danville farmer, who
had been absent from his home for
almost a week, was solved today
when word from the missing man
was received by Mrs. Tousant. The
wife and mother of four small chill
dren announced this morning that
she was in receipt of a letter from
her husband, which stated that he
was working or a lumber dealer in
Milan, near Berlin, N. H. The
news of the location of Mr.. Tous-
ant and the knowledge that he was
alive and well relieved the anxiety
of neighbors and the authorities
who had for the past few days
been diligently searching for him.
Sheriff Wilbur H. Worthen and
several of his deputies secured the
woods, fields and highways on
Saturday and Sunday and the Off
GERS were joined in the search by
nearby farmers who gave their as
sistance unsolicited. Failure to
find the missing man after a thor
ough search caused Mrs Tousant
to become greatly alarmed. She
was harrv this morning when she
received the word that her hus-
band was alive.
In his letter Mr.. Tousant de-
clared that he was discouraged
over the unpleasant associations
with Mr.. and Mrs. George Spauld-
ing, who own the farm, situated
three miles from Danville Green,
and who live in the farm house
with the Tousants. He strongly
intimated that conditions had be-
come such that he felt as though
he could stand it no longer. The
tone of the letter indicated that he
was very sorry for having left ms
family so suddenly and kept them
uninformed as 10 his whereabouts.
He failed to state whether he
would returnsto Danville. Neither
did he ask his wife and children
to come 20 Milan and live with
him.
Mr.. Tousant disappeared from
his Danville farm on Tuesday ev-
ening, October II. He wore ms
work clothes when he left. It was
not until the following day that
Mrs. Tousant learned of her hus-
bands departure. Mr.. Tousant is
81 years of age.
