A duel is q combat between two
persons with deadly weapons. Usu-
ally there are seconds" who stand
nearby to witness the fight and to
see that there Is fair play.
In the more civilized countries,
It is against the law to fight duel.
II one of the persons lighting Is
killed, his foe may be tried for
murder. t.
In past times, however, it was
common for men to fight duels.
Great numbers have died in this
way, from bullets or from the blows
Of swords.
There was a time when even the
courts of law allowed duels to 90 on.
In the old English law, q man ac-
cused of crime could challenge his
accuser to q fight.
The custom was known as wager
Of battle" or trial by combat" A
man charged with murder or
treason threw down his glove, and
the man who accused him was ex-
pected to pick 1t up. II the glove
was not picked up. the charge Of
murder was dropped.
Usually the accuser was ready to
pick up the glove. Then there fol-
lowed a fierce fight with swords or
other weapons. If neither was killed,
the one who suffered less from
wounds was judged to have the right
side OF the case. If q man accused
of murder got the better of the
tight, he was set free.
When we use our powers Of
reason, We see that the trial by

come covered over by rubbish,
finally making their way through.
Abandoned asparagus beds, piled
high with rubbish, have been dis
covered sending up fine fat stalks.
Later they matured and more seeds
were ready for dispersal.
Any persop who has . little land
to use for 1 home garden should
plant 80 to 100 asparagus roots for
his own family use. This will fur
nish a large family with an abund-
ance of this vegetable for several
weeks and with enough to share
with friends. The surplus may be
canned. The cost is small for the
original bed and it will last long
enough to provide the rather costly
vegetable far more often than one
would feel justified In buying at the
market price.

To secure choice asparagus stalks

Growers who plan to raise this

important to purchase the male
plants, for they are more vigorous
and more productive of good stalks.
whereas the female plants are the
seed bearers and are likely to ma

There is also the market to con-

stalks are in demand and in other
the tender, slender, green ones. The
amount Of money invested and the
time necessary for the asparagus to
come into bearing must be taken in
consideration. This crop pays we'll

Citizens OF London obtained a

When Henry Nv was king of
