STEPHEN H. FREUND, Supervisor. Biaehamith of Gretna Green Pronounced Myth Gretna Green's marrying blacksmith is the newest sacrifice to historlcal research. Before the Institute of France the report was recently made, after considerable delving Into original sources, that thls> romantic detail la English written history, still appearing in reference books, was purely mythical. Gretna Green, between 1754 and 1856, after England abolished clandestine marriage, was a place where runaway couples could be legally wedded. Living Just north of the border In Scotland, It enabled elopers t° take their vows before any resident of the village--tollkeeper, ferryman, soldier or smuggler. But there was no blacksmith. Checking up the French pavant, the Manchester Guardian learns that his discovery is true. Correspondents obtained from the oldest inhabitants of Gretna Green the origin of the empty legend: An artist when commissioned to paint a sign for the tollhouse inn pnt a blacksmith in the wedding picture for the sake of symbolism, hoping to emphasise the durability of the link that was being forged. His symbolism passed into tradition and so into history. Doubt is expressed, however, whether fact can efface the artist's concept. The anvil altar, the leathern surplice, the mighty grip that clasped the hands of bride and bridegroom--a super power making a timeless gesture--had elements of sentiment that people prefer to retain.---"New York Tfmfft Where Red Indiana Got Wood for Bowi Medicine Bow, Wyo„ and the Medicine Bow National forest derive their names from the fact that in early years the Indians came there from the surrounding territory to make their bows from the mountain mahogany which grows in abundance in that vicinity. Here, too, the Indians found pine trees of a certain species which grew in thick* stands, straight tall and trim. When overcrowded the trees were small, and the Indians found them desirable for the poles of their tepees. From this the tree gained the name of lodgepole pine. Now the lodgepole pine it used primarily for railroad ties in the western states. In the Medicine Bow National forest it is cut under government regulation, floated down stream to the nearest railroad town and shipped to Laramie for preservative treatment Government supervision Insures the perpetuation of the supply. •THE LINKS REFEREE; 0 lirfrprXetfwM of the Rmlee \ of Golf \ By INN IS MOWN I 0 0 0 0 0 0 (Momuging Editor, The 0 Golfer) America* 0 0 4 56.90 106.25 80.00 81.25 81.80 10.00 What is the correct application of the rules in the following case f On one hole a ditch cuts diagonally across the fairway in such a course that a long ball from the tee driven up the right-hand tide of the fairway may be caught by the ditch. To correct this condition the club hat established a local rule that a ball going into the ditch to the right of a certain marker may be lifted and dropped back without penalty. A player drove into the ditch, but was unable to find hit ball. Now the question it. thould he be Mowed to drop another ball behind the ditch without penalty, or it he penalised for a lott ball t Aa is frequently the case, failure on the part of club officials to make clear the purpose and intant of the local rule leads to the confusion here. It Is the evident intention of the local rule to exclude that part of the ditch to the right of the marker from the status of a hazard. Now the only basic conditions under which a player may lift and drop a ball elsewhere without penalty are from casual water, away from a hydrant drain pipe, water main or the like, or else from ground under repair. The particular conditions In this case are, of course, not attributable to casual water. Of the other two, ground under repair more nearly fits the conditions. Now a ball lost in ground under repair is the same as one lost elsewhere on the course except in a water hazard or casual water. In other words, a play er is not allowed to avail himself of the privilege of dropping out of ground under repair, unless his ball be actually found in such ground. Since that is true, it would appear that the player In this case most treat his as a lost ball, and proceed nw«l»r the rale for a lost balL (A by tlM Ball Im ) Insure--In Sure-Insurance • WITH Wm.G.

"Indeed, that is why so many business men are inclined to select employees who have had what they term 'practical experience.' " "Too many of our college boys are like the freshman who was on his way home after seeing one of the new shows, when be was accosted by an upper classman. " 'How was the show?" the upper classman wanted to know. "The frosh looked blank for a moment and then, with no little indecision in his voice, replied: "'I don't know. I haven't heard. anyone say.' "--Los Angeies TUnpa, Took Name From State While tabasco peppers, so called because they were grown in the state of Tabasco, Mexico, were long an established product in trade and regularly exported from Mexico in the early part of the Nineteenth century, no one conceived the idea of trying to grow this plant in the United States until 1850. It was then that CoL Maunsell White obtained a few seeds from a Mexican who lived in Tabasco, and planted them on his plantation In Louisiana. With proper care and cultivation, these peppers grew profusely and before long became of a better quality than those produced in Mexico. Because of the origin of the seeds, White named the product tabasco, the name by which it to known today. Dud's Smile Evaporated The slangy young woman was holding a conversation with her mother and dad. In the course of the talk when something which they told her surprised her exceedingly, she exclaimed: "Well, I'm a monkey's uncle 1" Mother remonstrated, but dad was highly amused and said jokingly: "My dear, you could never be a monkey's uncle--now you might be a monkey's aunt!" "But dad," said the slangy one putting an affectionate hand on his arm, "wouldn't you rather have me say Tin a monkey's uncle,' than I'm a monkey's pup*?" And the slangy young lady beat a hasty retreat Personality Vs.

Artistic Colony Barblzon is the name of a French village near the forest of Fontalnebleau. The village gave Its name to a school of artists. It was an outcome 3>f the conflict between the classical and romantic schools of painting which occupied the first half of the Nineteenth century. The Barblzon school took nature as a guide. Jean Francois Millet leader in the rustic genre, was one of the notable members of this school. Pierre Gtlenne Theodore Rousseau, French landscape painter, retired to Barblzon in 1833 and spent there the latter part of his life. old Interesting Bits of News Taken From the Columns ot the Plaindealer Fifty u| Twenty-five Years . • .

April, 1908 Beginning April 1 the Borden company is in control of the Great Western Condensing company's plant at Chemung. The same price is paid for milk there as in Elgin. New machinery is to be installed. Dr. Severns and Clarence Edwards, two of the true sportsmen who come out from Chicago nearly every week to fish or hunt, enjoyed a cold bath last Saturday. They started down the river from Buch's hotel in a boat that was not built for two and when they reached a point opposite the Riverside House the craft shipped so much water that it gently went to the bottom. Dr. Severns lost his sixty-dol-, lar gun during the excitement. In attempting to get the gun the next day, it exploded beneath the water, bursting the barrel. Butter on the Elgin board of trade was firm at 28% cents. There were no sales. We are pleased to note that several property owners in this village are taking steps to improve the appearance of their places. Some are hauling in soil to bring the lawns up to a level with the sidewalks, others are tearing down unsightly fences and buildings. Let the good work go on.
