Tho FIRST blow with the missile knocked
the skin off the robbers face. They
then grappled and fell to the earth,
pelting each other without mercy. Dur
the struggle the other driver managed
10 free himself from the ropes with
which he had been tied, and,
with rock in hand, fell upon
the bleeding highwayman, beating
him 10 jelly. The two VIC
torious drivers then took their prize and
tied him to ono of the animals and es-
corted him to an adjoining hamlet,
where he was shackled to another pris-
oner. BY some means or other the two
men effected their escape from the
room in which they were confined. A
posse went in pursuit, and running
fire was opened. The man shackled to
tiSeSfighwayman Mas killed by one OF
the shots. He was now picked up by
the gamy robber, who made good his es-
cape, Notwithstanding tho burden that
he was carrying.

SOME ARMY MEMOIRS.
Personal Recollections of the Civil War
Related by Veterans.

Personal Recollections of the Civil War
Related by Veterans.
At reunion OF few old army men in
Philadelphia lately some personal rec
objections OF the civil war were given
which illustrate the earnestness and
fervor which filed the men OF that time.
member Of the famous Quaker
regiment who was present told how
zealously the Friends and sons Of
Friends in Northern New Jersey fell in
to line to answer the call for volunteers
in 1909. Two full companies of hun
dred men each, all wearing straight
coats and broad-brimmed hats, offered
themselves for service, and were ac-
cepted.
At the next quarterly meeting their
action was sharply criticised, when one
of Tho number who was present re-
marked
"My grandfather once had dealings
with very provoking man of the world,
who tormented him until his patience
was worn out. Taking of his coat, he
laid 1t down, saying: Lie there, Quaker,
till give this rascal his duesw
"After he had drubbed his enemy, he
put on his coat and QualSerism again.
We are going to lay aside tho garb of
peace, but we will putt on again--when
the fight is over!"
Tho regiment went into service q full
thousand, and remained in the army for
several years.
A custom which prevailed In both
armies has a pathetic signifi sance to us
even now. Before battle the private
soldiers on both sides were In the habit
OF writing their names upon slip of
paper, and pinning it carefully to their
gray or blue shirts, in the hope to es-
cape the indiscriminate oblivion OF $50
many thousand privates killed"
Another touching recollection was
that OF two young men from Maine, one
Of whom was shot dead at the battle Of
Fredoricksburgh. His brother, stoop-
ing over him, drew ring from his
finger, saying that their mother had
hidden him, II his brother was killed,
to wear it until he was victorious, Or
'sLilse him," he said, pointing TO the
dead body at his feet.
The next instant bullet struck him
10 the heart, and he fell dead beside his
brothsr =. .outn's Companion,

Shoes were gorgeous affairs in tho
middle ages. King Richard, the Lion
hearted. had his boots stamped with
gold. John Lakeland, his brother, wore
boots spotted with golden circles; while
Henry III. wore boots checkered with
golden lines, every square OF which was
enriched with lion. Cardinal Welsey's
shoes were
OF gold and stone precious.
Costing many thousand pounds
Sir Walter Raleigh wore shoes stud
ded with diamonds, said TO have cost
$50, 900. Tho gallants in Charles II. 3
timo wore their high boot tops turned
down TO the ankles to show the gorgeous
lace with which they were lined.
High-heelcd boots were worn by la-
dies for three parts of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wearers
some inches, rendering walking difficult
and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to
the rich. The poor wore shoes of wood,
reeds and untanned leather. The High
landcrs made brogans out of untanned
deer-hide, and the southern nations woro
cloth sandals and slippers.
1t was not until the year 1900 that an
Englishman invented rights and lefts;"
previously both shoes we're shaped ex-
actly alike.
So far as we can discover the aborigi
nal tribes OF America never went bare
footed. They always made and wore
moccasins, the easiest shoe ever invent
ed. On the other hand, the Australian
natives knew nothing Of shoes, and the
natives OF Africa are in the samo box to
this day.
The Chinese make their shoes Of wood
and paper, and can not remember when
they began to make them. A Chinese
shoe Is warm in winter, cool in summer
and always easy to the foot.
Superstition, as usual, has busted her
self greatly about shoes; but 1t Is not
worth whilo to cite all tho silly sayings
about them. There is no significance
about tho way people wear their shoes,
either at heel, too 6 side, although un-
tidy foot wear is doubtless some indic9
tion OF carclessnoss. See that you have
comfortable shoe, keep 1t tidy, and bad
luck will never bother you.-Golden

A Robber Makes His Escape While
shacisicd TO n Corpse.
About week has elapsed since three
bandits attacked diligence In the State
OF vora Cruz. Among its passengers
wero number of Americans. The
driver, at the command of the highway
men, who wore backed by three revolv-
ers which fully covered him, brought
his horses to standstill. He was made
to dismount, and in tho usual style was
made to stand at ono side of the road
way with his hands pointing heaven
ward. Tho passengers were then re-
quested to step out OF the coach and fall
in, line with the driver. One OF the
Americans was among the first to obey
tho mandate OF the hold-ups. He, how
ever, on dismounting did not leave his
Winchester behind, and had hardly
touched mother earth when he COM
menced to dump cold lead into the high
waymen with skill that put them to
flight.
Tho day following this episode, andin
the same vicinity, tho identical gang
tackled that stage again. They sue
ceeded in relieving tho passengers, who
were all Mexicans, of every thing OF
value on their persons, and left them
doing duty in limo with their hands
above their heads. Flushed with the
success that had attended their ex-
pioits, tho highwaymen had not gono
far before they foil in with two mule
drivers, and at tho point OF the revolver
proceeded 10 despoil them OF every
thing they had packed upon their ami
mails. Ono OF the mule-drivers, not
relishing The treatment, demonstrated,
and he fell victim to the wrath OF the
hold-ups. lie was tod, thrown 10 tho
ground, and his nose buried in the sand.
His companion kept y discreet silence
during tho disposition Of his goods, and

For some reason or other, after tho
robbers bad completed thcir work, one
Of them remained behind. The mule
driver who had kept quiet said 70 him;

"Well, I'll fix you so you won't know

pulled hisrcvolver and commenced shoot
