IBZAN. ELON AND ABDON

Ibzan, who followed Jephthah in the
Judgeship, entered upon another per-
iod of peace. 1t is sometimes averred
by the advocates of peace at any price
that war never settles anything. This
is distinctly not true. War does settle
the disputes of tribes and nations, tenn
porarily, never satisfactorily; for the
vanquished are never satisfied by the
bitter fruits of defeat, always spelled
in terms of loss.
But neither by peaceful or other
means, nothing is ever permanently
settled in this world. Life means
change, and change requires readjust-
ment.
Ibzan means active. Doubtless the
program of reconstruction following
the devastation of the Ammonites and
Ephraemitish wars required of the
new Judge a measure of activity both
in planning and execution fully COM
mensurate with his predecessors mil
itary program.
Ancient warfare was a hand to hand
conflict, and not nearly as destructive
of towns and cities as modern battles
with siege guns and light artillery
However, ancient warriors frequently
RACED cities, tearing the stones apart
and sowing fertile places with salt
so that the land became unfit for hu-
man habitation. The new Judge I'M
doubtedly faced heavy task, scorning
delights and living laborious days as
he made the desert place to blossom
as the rose.
Ibzan was of Bethlehem, the city of
David, and David's greater Son. He

FOREST FIRE RECORD FOR
1884 LISTED IN REPORT
Garrett County Had 1876 Blazes
In Year With Much Damage

Garrett county had 1876 woods fires
during 1884, burning 5,401A acres of
land, with a total damage of $780,
770.58, according to a report of the
Maryland Forestry Department. The
expense involved in subduing the fires
was $1,2948O.
The number of acres burned over in
this county represented 40 percent of
the total in the entire State, and the
amount of damage was over one-half
the total amount for the State.
Of the total number of fires re-
ported, 70 were said to be incendiary,
SO caused by smoking, from rail
roads, 8 from campers, 7 from brush
burning, and miscellaneous, 2.
The average acreage burned in the
State per fire was ID 3-5 acres for 1884
as compared with IA acres for 1888
and Is is acres for the year 1892
Of the total of 945 fires reported in
1884 for the entire State, the major
ity of these were in the spring. Only
272 acres were burned over in Garrett
county in the fall, while 5,130 acres
were burned in the spring. Of Mary
lands three largest fires, two of them
were in Garrett county, one burning
1,746 acres on White Rock and Piney
Runs, and the other burning 1920
acres on Meadow Mountain State game
refuge There were twelve other fires
that burned more than 100 acres. The
larger fires in Garrett county occurred
at time when fires were so numerous
that control forces were taxed to keep
up with the new fires which were con-
stantly springing up.
Throughout the State 1897 acres
were burned over in 1884. The esti-
mated damage was $32, 26516, and the
cost of fire fighting paid by the State
and counties was $5,O81.79. Careless
ness on the part of smokers was re-
sponsible for $40 fires or 80 percent
followed by "brush-burning" with 224
fires, or "a per cent.
Anne Arundel county had more for
est fires than any other county, the
number being 1853. Prince Georges was
second with $50, and Garrett county
third, with 1876. Garrett county fires
however, damaged a greater number
of acres, caused the greatest damage
and resulted in the highest fire fight
ing expense of any county in the
State.
The size of lie average fire in West.
ern Maryland district was 21.3, which
was smaller than the average fire fol
the Eastern Shore, for the first time
on record

The Painfulness of Gratitude
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

lIC Il dlIll lllltCSS VI OIdCkG0uS
Psalm 100: "Be thankful unto Him, and
praise His name"
Gratitude is the rarest of virtues,
because it is the most painful. 1t
wounds our human pride. To give
thanks to a benefactor is to acknowl-
edge that we are his debtors, and that
is something a proud man cannot do.
Gratitude hurts our instructive ego
tism: that is why it is difficult virtue
to cultivate.
Gratitude is the sign of a noble
SOUL" said wise old Aesop. True! For
the noble soul is always humble, and
the humble soul is always grateful.
Ingratitude is the sign of an ignoble
soul, the mark of a small and proud
spirit.
1t is a curious fact that the small
mind and the proud spirit always go
together. 1t is the little fellow who
puffs himself up. 1t is the corporal
who struts like a turkey gobbler; the
colonel of the regiment is quiet gen
tleman. 1t is the butler who puts on
the airs of Louis the Fourteenth: the
master of the mansion is a decent,
courteous person. Wherever we go, we
find that it is the man at the top who
meets US on the level: it is the unim-
portant person who is pulled up with a
sense of his own superior Importance.
Ingratitude is always the mark of a
small calibre mind and an egotistical
spirit.
