In Sending Prune Trees to Devastated
Country, California Is Repaying
an Obligation.
rallfornla Is generously sending a )
million ami a half two-year-old prune
trfs to help In restoring the French
orchards, and enough seed beans to
plant 60,000 acres. Canada Is under
taking the planting of thousands of
Canadian maples In France. It Is
pleasant also to know that there Is to
t>e no lack of outside help for the dev
astated towns, observes Christian Sci
ence Monitor, In stating these' facts.
English and American architects are
at work on plans for new buildings to
replace those razed by the guns, both
in Belgium and In France. '
The Indianapolis News sees senti
ment In the prune tree transaction. It
says: "These trees arte expected to con
vert 15,000 acres into bearing orchards
in two years. It was France which, in
1S56, gave to California her first
prune trees. The prune, which since
then has tilled many a gap on the table
of the American boarding houses, and
has borne the brunt of many a Jest, j
keeps rijjht on p roving Jts worth."
IN DUEL TO DEATH
Brave Old Buck Proved Himself
True Knight.
exhibition of Woodland Chivalry That
Impressed Huntera In tha Florida
, Everglade* So Much Thay
Spared the Victor'a Life.
A couple of hunters ob the border
of the Florida Everglades were .sur
prised to hear the wild snorts and
whistles of a buck In fight, mingled
with the plaintive bleats of a doe In
distress—n combination of sonnds that
was unaccountable. The men crept
cautiously up, and In five Minutes
reached the edge of an open glade.
In the center crouched a doe, wild
with terror. By her side was a fawn
only a few hours old, still too weak
to follow Its mother, while tha old
buck, with bristling hair, and antlers
lowered, stood by, snorting in rage and
defiance. His eyes, green with rage,
followed some object moving In the
palmetto scrub on the border of the
glade.
' Looking carefully, the hunters saw
a young panther passing backward
and forward In an effort to turn the
flank of the defense and get at the
fawn. A wiser benst would have aban
[ doned the attack as soon as such a
defender went on guard, but this
panther was evidently, la the full flush
of his first strength, and without ex
perience of the prowess of an old buck
I at bay.
Forward and back he crawled, spit
ting and snarling, only to And the
buck always between him and the doe.
At last he crouched for the spring.
The buck, snorting grimly, braced all
his muscles for the coming crash; be
appreciated his danger, but dared the
worst. Th# doe whimpered and closed
her eyes, but did not desert her fawn.
The pauther rose In the air and
came down within ten feet of the buck.
Then the buck went into the air, and
falling with his feet together on the
struggling cat. seemed to stab him
through and through. Immediately the
buck rose again and landed a dozen
feet away. Then he lowered his bead
and plunged at the pauther.
There was a confusion of flying dirt
and grass, and again the deer sprang
away. There were now deep cuts ou
his head and neck, and his antlers were
splashed with red.
The panther now tried to creep
away, hut again the buck leaped, stab
bed with his feet together and sprang
away. The cat now lay gasping, while
the buck watched hlra with his hair
stiffened into a mane and eyes that
nearly bulged from his head. Then the
hunters walked forward.
! When the buck saw them he must
have realised that he was completely
In thelf power. His proud crest fell,
and he lost all the swelling part of the
victory; but still he showed no Inten
tion of desertiug the doe. but moved
off-and stood beside her. She crouched
down again with the fawn.
The hunters walked over quietly and
examined the panther. He was very
badly cut up. Both shoulders were
broken, and the antlers had passed re
peatedly through his body. During the
examination the buck stood quietly In
plain view, and no gladiator saluting
Caesar and conscious of being about to
die ever showed more dignity.
Without a word the hunters walked
off the tleld and left the old knight
alone In his glory. Had be not shown
knightly qualities—the chivalry that
protects the weak, the courage
that braves all odds In a good cause,
and finally a dignified submission to
what seemed the inevitable?
Praised for Devotion to Duty.
When the city of Norfolk, Va., was
threatened with the complete destruc
tion by fire of It* thriving business
section early In Juntinry. every avail
able tlre-fiahtlng force at hand aud
from nearby towns was called Into the
battle. At the height of the Ore the
enlisted men of the United States
navy on duty at the navy yard and la
the harbor were called on to help not
only In subduing the (lames but con
trolling the crowds. To a man they
gave a splendid account of themselves.
Among these men was John Joseph
SIcLoughlin.'a chief boatswain's mate.
Although he had worked all night, had
narrow escapes and was drenched to
the skin with Ice-cold water, McLough
lln declined a relief when It was of
fered and remained on duty continu
ously until the danger was passed.
For this conspicuous service he has
been commended by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. Mvl.oughlin enlisted
In the navy In 1908 at New York.

ttiRROfrS GIVE!1] INDIAN'NAMES
Mrs. Wilson Credited With Idea That
Really Has a Good Deal to Be
Said in Its Favor.
Selecting names for the many now
vessels soon to slide from American
ways Is a task needing patience and
application. It Is o"e of the duties of
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
navy department, who. though he finds
many volunteer assistants, Is always
hard pressed In his pursuit of suitable
names. The wife of President Wilson
has now co;uc to hU uid "'th a list of
names.
Mrs. Wilson Is n descendant of Po
cahontas. The names she suggest*
tnu.v be calculated to spi eud terror
among the enemies of America afloat.
They are taken from Indian history.
When an enemy vessel sees the Sin
naruahouing approaching Dying, the
Stars and Stripes, the captain,1a likely
to think one of the devils of the deep
is In pursuit. If.the Slnnamahonlng is
followed by the' Slsladobsts aud the
Slsladobsls by the Skaneateles and the
Shawangunk—all names conferred;by
the president's wife—the enemy may
well believe that the day of legendary
sea terrors has returned.
Suppose, again, that the Saccarappa,
the Sagnporack, the Tobesofka and the
Tonganoxle were to sail forth together,
is there any power <>n the sea's surface
or beneath that would court encounter
with such an orthographical onslaught?
There is a warwhoop lu every name.
If tiie Shiekshluny does not suggest
scalping, or the Slu-shequln an ambush,
it is because one is unfamiliar with In
dian nomenclature.
Dog's Death Led to Suicide.
Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife of
Norman Dugdale, J. 1'., of Dutt^n
Manor, near Itlr.cUburn. was found
dead with a bullet wound In her fore
head In a M. ld near the grave of her
favorite doir. which had been de
stroyed on account of old age. De
pression- caused by its loss was sug
gested at ill.- Inquest as the cause of
her suicid., says Lloyd's News, Lon
don. When found she was grasping n
human, cuttle killer, at her feet was
a mallet with which she had dis
charged the weapon, aud a loaded re
volver was in a basket near her. She
had fixed a mirror to the fence, and
a note pinned to her dres&ignve direc
tions for the disposal of her body.
Mr. Dugdale >>aid he thought the dog's
death, which his wife had taken great
ly to heart, was the cause of the
! tragedy, and the jury's verdict was
I that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself while
! of unsound mltul.
