When Terrible Black
Death Ravaged England
One of the first places In Europe
where the black death appeared was
at a small Genoese fort In the Crimea,
the western terminus of the overland
Chinese trade route. The Tartars
were besieging the fort at the time,
and Chinese merchants took refuge
there. The siege was lifted by the
Investing army, which fled from the
plague, thus spreading the Infection
southward Into Asia Minor. Syria and
Egypt. Ships from the Buxine car¬
ried the contagion to Constantinople
and to Genoa, and thence It radiated,
fanshape, throughout the Mediter¬
ranean littoral.
In August, 1348, England's first
black death victim succumbed In Dor¬
setshire. By November It had reached
London. By the summer of 1349 It
had dragged its pall of putrefaction
over the entire island, including Scot¬
land. Norwich, which had been the
second city of the kingdom, dropped
to sixth In size, more than two-thirds
of Its population falling victims of the
scourge.
Cultivation of the fields was utterly
Impossible and there were not even
enough sble-bodled laborers to gather
the crops which had matured. Cattle
roamed through the corn unmolested
and the harvest rotted where It stood.

Newspaper Story Well
Worth Being Told Again
Perhaps It’s because newspaper men
are a clannish lot of lads and prefer,
when not engaged in their arduous
duties, to be of and among themselves
to seeking the company of others, but
It strikes this observer that those who
are alien to the newspaper profession
hear few stories respecting the ac¬
tivities of the boys from the paper
offices. Certainly the young man—or
young woman—who Is engaged In
gathering the news of the day en¬
counters plenty of adventure, some of
it funny and again some of it not so
funny.
Practically every newspaper man In
the world lias heard the story of the
cub reporter who, being of a tludd na¬
ture, was assigned by his city editor to
Interview the Irascible capitalist whose
lovely daughter had just run off with
the family chauffeur. In fear and
trembling he rang the doorbell. "Ls
Mr. Jones In?” he asked the maid who
answered the door. “No, he Is not,"
she replied. ‘‘Thank Qotjj" said the
reporter, and fell off the steps?
The story is so familiar to news¬
paper men (In fact it is incorporated
lg many of the textbooks that now
aim to teach the young reporter how
to shoot) that one wonders how gen
™>iiw if in known by the public.
The Record We Leave
Even a fern-leaf or stem leaves Its
trace In the fossils of the coal-beds of
its bygone time. Even the smallest
human ljfe leaves a record of good or
evil behind it.—Selected.
