mingham mineral railroad, last night, B. n.
Huey, Jr., the Southern express agent, re-
ceived a package containing $1,000 to be

late for delivery he deposited the money
in his safe. About ten O'Clock he was
startled by a voice from behind exclaim-
ing: Hold your hands up" and turned
to behold two men with blackened faces
presenting revovers at him.
Huey very quickly seized his revolver
near by and the shots from the foremost
revolver and his own were simultaneous.
Huey staggered back and the robbers
fed The firing brought citizens of the
village to the depot Not fifty yards away
the dead body of one of the would-be rob-
bers was found. He proved to be John
Warren, a large white man. Huey was
shot in the breast, but the bullet struck q
rib and glanced, passing through and
breaking an arm.

NEW YORK, March 29-There is beau

quiet kicking going on for some time, be-
cause the affair was being managed in q
ridiculous manner by members Of New

celebration by the people was developed
into a free entertainment for certain
would-be aristocrats who have shooting

knew in what year Washington was in
augurated. The Legislature appropriated
500, 1000 toward defraying the expenses OF
the celebration.

the lawmakers to witness the great parade
they could not think of such a thing as al

Don't Sit On Your Foot.

Another deplorable habit, and one common to
the most refined and fastidious women, is the prac
tice of sitting on their foot. Once they acquire
this trick it becomes second nature, and they de-
velop into such experts that they find but little
trouble in arranging for themselves this, to them,
most comfortable perch, even when in the most
public places. With cunning twist of the body
and little side switch of their skirts they can ac
complsh the feat under the nose of an ardent adj
mirer without even arousing his suspicious. 1t
is not graceful, but if the young woman is small

This habit once fixed is apt to follow one down to

old lady who laughngly told me that she had never
been able to break herself of this habit, and really
she could perform the feat of sitting on her foot
with AL the ease of a girl of 16.
Sometimes the consequences are rather disast-
rous. Not, perhaps, as much now as in the days
of hoop skirts, when results most embarrassing
