It was In the rcigti of King Edward
of England, the fourth of that name,
that John Ochiltree, a young faAter
living In the county of Kent, met a
lass coiled sMnr? Griggs 'at n Maying
and conceived a strong love for her.
He danced with her around the May
pole and looked at her languishing- i It Is readily shown, would never occur
it persons had taken reasonable core
in respect to tidiness. Rubbish is the i
chief cause, and rubbish does not j
necessarily mean the accumulation of
paper and thlncs of that character In I
I and around buildings, but the unneces- j
1 sary accumulation of old furniture, :
S njosaalnes, carpets, supplies of all j
kinds In cellars and allies which ne- '
cumulate dust and lie there for years, i
What applies to the liome In respect '
lo rubbish is true to n marked degree j
In many business premises. Just a lit- j
He thought and the evpendll lire of a J
Utile time along those lines generally j
would greatly reduce the tire loss. The j
iilisenoe of lire extinguishers In the
average home or business premises Is
H serious omission. Careless handling
of niati ltcs, careless use of oil, the ac
cumulation of oily rags and waste ma
terial and a host of small matters like
these are tho causes of a great many
tires and a great deal of loss. -Lumber

last
ly, but his modesty and the strength
of his love tied his tongue so that he
could say nothing to her.
And so ho danced and ogled and
ogled and danced, but never a word
could he say to the girl.
Mary had been keeping company
with Itlchard Doyle, a maker of armor,
but the moment he laid eyo9 on John
Ochiltree Doyle saw that she was lost
to him In favor of Ills rival. He drew
away sulky, thus leaving the field to
the man who had supplanted him.
The day after the Maying John
walled for Mary to come out of tier
father's thatched collage and Joined
her. lie managed to wish her "good
morning" mid said that the crops
promised to bo good and that one of
his cows had calved, but besides this
ho said nothing. Mary was a girl of
spirit and would not help him out. She
stild to herself that he should talk to
her like awy oilier man or she would
have none of him. lie continued to
j show her by his expression that he
j was enamored of her, and when he
! looked at her bis eyes had a melan-
choly expression..
Now, as soon as John got away from
i her his tongue was unloosed, and he
' could say what he liked, lie told his
i mother of his troublo and convinced
her that It was Impossible that he
should tell Mary his love and ask her
: to marry him.
"Then," said his mother, "Mary must
j propose to you."
I "She will never do that," sighed
.John.
I "She uiitst be made to. My son
wishes her for a wife, and he must
' have her. llcsldes, Mary Is a good
girl Btid will have n good dowry. 1
I wish her for a daughter-in-law. 1
have niado up my mind that, since you j
. are unable to ask Mary to be your !
! wife, she shall claim you for her hits- !
band." I
j "And how will you do that, mother?" j
"Never mind, so that I do It, We!
women have to get through the world
by exercising our wits. We are not
! men, to force our way, so we have to ;
i plan."
Things went from bad to worse bo
; tween John and Mary. Determined to
j force him to declare himself, she en
; con raged her former suitor. This ;
made John 111, and so great was his
ailing that his mother feared he would
i die. Slio went to Mary and. telling
1 her of John's condition and the cause,
begged her to do that wbleb was el
; pected ot the sterner sex-ask John to
be her husband. Mary rowed that she
would be no man's wife who had not
i the courage lo ask her, and. though
John might die, she would not do his
: part for blm.
Not l"ng after this a sheep belonging
to a neighbor was found In John Ochil
tree's fold. John was arrested fur
J sheep stealing and thrown Into prison.
I "The lad bus lost bis mind for love of
J i you," said John's mother to Mary. The
' lass was secretly troubled, but tossed
J her head and said that man who was
' afraid t a girl had no mind to lose.
J I John was tried and convicted and
I sentenced to be banged.
2 I Then Mary began to regret that sh"
j hud refused to bo persuaded. Hut It
2 i was now too late. Sbo bad driven
i John Into Insanity, for she believed
2 : what his mother said, or she bad uiilii-
I on I Ion n Hr bewitched III in so that ho
had stolen liop. She sat at home
mourning her sad fale at loving a man !
so dcfecllve. John's mother brought
a request from her "u lint Mary
would ! present st his elocution
Mary declared that alio could ii"t en
duro such sight and would lit go
lint she was at last persuaded to grant
this last boon to a innn she was now

fold, and on the morning of the hang

A crowd was galbered around 111"

AERONAUTICS IN WARFARE. ,
Why Napoleon Did Not Favor the Use
of Observation Balloons.
It is on record that the first eiuploy-
lni.'iit, of aeronautics to observe the po.
: sltlnns of an enemy were made during
I tl:io French revolution. It was n Dr.
Coutelle who produced bydrogpn gns
: from the decomposition of water. Ho
I had been Interdicted the employment
of sulphuric acid In tills preparation,
j as there was a lack. of sulphur for the
1 making of gunpowder.
! Dr. t'outelle was ordered to put him-
self at the disposal of fJeneriil Jour
I dun, who commanded the army of tho
! Sambfo and Mouse. On presenting
; himself to Duouesnoy, n commissioner
; of the convention, that dignitary rose J
i In wrath, exclaiming: "A balloon, a j e
bulloon in the camp! You look to nio !
! like a suspect, I am going to begin by e
I having you shot !" '
Coutelle returned to Farls, and his i s
balloons were afterward put to use at
! Bonn, at Coblenx and at Audornach.
At the last named place General Fter
nadotte, 'the ancestor of tho present
reigning bouse of Sweden, was invited
to go up in a balloon. "No," respond
ed that careful man, "I prefer the road
of the asses."
There was a school of aerostation at
Meudon, which Ilonapnrle closed after
his return from Egypt. As nothing
could prevent other nations from us
ing like air fliers, the balloons, he
claimed, might become an embarrass
ment to all tho armies, without any
special advantage to the French army
