How a Coat of Tar Feels.
So. Louis Globe Democrat.

People who read of tarring and feath'
ering by White Caps and others know
that the punishment is very unpleasant
one, but few imagine how terribly pain
full and dangerous itoiS. In Wyoming
once saw man who had been tarred
and feathered, and, although he fully
deserved the discipline, l could not help
plying him. Hardened tar is very hard
to remove from the skin, and when
feathers are added it forms kind Of
cement that sticks closer than brother.
As soon as the tar sets the victims Suf-
fering begins. 1t contracts as it cools,
and every one of the little veins on
the body is pulled, causing the
most exquisite agony. The perspira-
tion Is entirely stopped, and unless the
tar is removed death is certain TO ensue.
But the removal is no easy task and re-
quires several days. The tar cannot be
softened by the application Of heat, and
must be peeled off, bit by bit, sweet oil
being used To make the process less
painful. The irritation to the skin is
very great, as the hairs cannot be olsen
gagged, but must be pulled out or cut off.
No man can be cleaned Of tar in a single
day, as the pain of the operation would
be too excruciating for endurance, and
until this is done he has to suffer from a
pain like that OF ten thousand pin
pricks. Numbers OF men have died I'M
der the torture, and none who have
gone through it regard tarring and
feathering as anything but most fear
full infliction.

The life Of Anne Bailey and the rec
ord of her heroic deeds are gathered
from tradition exclusively. She was
born In Liverpool, England, in 1742.
Her father was a soldier, and served IN
the wars OF Queen Anne, and on the
Continent under the Duke OF Marloo-
rough. He participated in the battle
of Blenheim. In honor OF his beloved
sovereign, Queen Anne, he christened
the daughter Of his old age Anne. She
sDent her childhood days in Liverpool,
where she attended school. When nine
teen years old her father and mother
died, leaving her destitute. Her only
friends were family named Bell, posi-
bly relatives, living in Virginia. Anne
Heppis, afterward Anne Bailey,
sailed to America and sought
out the Bells, residing near
where StauntOn, Va, now stands.
Shortly after her arrival In Virginia she
met a frontiersman named Richard
Trotter, who had been in the defeat OF
Braddock some time previous. In 1865,
she married Trotter, and they lived TO-
gether on q few acres in the vicinity OF
Staunton. In 1867, boy was born to
them, whom they named William. In
1775. Trotter Joined DunmOre's army,
and marched for the Ohio river, where
he was killed in an engagement with
the Indians at the mouth Of Kanawha
river. October 10th, OF the same year.
Anne Trotter was now a widow, thirty
two years of age. She placed her
son with Mrs. Moses Mann, a neighbOr,
and started to recruiting stations TO urge
enlistment and thus save the lives or
the wives and children Of the pioneers.
She was "clad in buckskin pants, with
petticoat, heavy brogan shoes, mans
coat and hat, q belt about the waist in
which was worn the hunting knife, and
with rife on her shoulder, she went
from one recruiting station TO another
aud from one muster to another, max
ing her appeals to all whom she met.
Her name became famous along the
border. On horse back she bore mes
saces from StauntOn to distant frontier
forts. In IT'S she carried news from
StauntOn to Fort Sayannah-nOw Lew
isburg-Greenbrier county. At this
time James Bailey, Edward Burgess,
John Crockett, James Martin, John
Maxwell, Oliver Wynn and James Wit
ten were scouts defending Roanoke and
Catawba settlements. Anna became
acquainted with James Bailey and on
the third OF November, 1855, when
Anna was 43 years Of age, they were
married at LewiSburg, by the Rev. John
McCue, the first Presbyterian minister
west Of the Alleghanies. Some years
later James Bailey and his wife went TO
Clendenin's II Fort Lee), the pres
emit site of Charleston. One night in the
year 1871 band of savages surrounded
the fort, and IL was discovered
that there was little or no DOwdertO de-
fend the inmates. Lewisburg, one hun
dred miles distant, was the nearest point
at which powder could be obtained.
Col. George Clsndenin called the garrl-
son together and asked some one to vol
unteer to 60 too Lewisburg. No one
wished to undertake the perilOus jour

ney. Then il was that Anne Bailey dis
played her courage by Offering to under
take the task. She knew we'll the road,
having often travelled over it. The
fastest horse in the fort was selected
for her and she started up the Kanawha,
crossed Gauley river, passed the Hawks
Nest, fOrded the New river and reached
LewiSburg, An additional horse was
furnished her, laden down with powder.
The commanding officer offered 20 send
q guard TO accompany her but she de-
clined. Night and day she rode on her
perilOus Journey and when she reached
Fort Lee she was nearly exhausted.
She was welcomed with shouts, and for
her bravery she was presented with the
black horse which carried her TO and
from Lewisburg, which she named
Liverpool" in honor Of her birthplace.
The forces sailed from the fort and
defeated the Indians, raising the
siege. Anne Bailey was 80 years old
when she made her famous ride.
Charles Robb, U. S. A., in 1861 COM
memorated her bravery by writing a
poem on her famous ride.
James Bailey died about 1902 near
Charleston. he owned land near that
place. The treaty Of Greenville in 1895
put an end to savage warfare in the
Kanawha Valley. Anne thereafter
spent her life among the pioneers, first
in 3 cabin in the wilderness back from
the Ohio, about six miles from what is
now Clipper Mills poStofice, Gallia
county, o. She afterward moved to
Galllpolis and built her own cabin, an

They Knnu Now.

Two Boston girls spent summer in a
Maine country town.
Across the road from the girls board
ing place resided a young man, and he
occasionally sauntered across TO enter
tain the Hub damsels. One day as they
all sat ia the parlor two very hungry
and prossic pigs projected their heads
above pen by the window and began
to sQueal Justify.
Zine voices Maine people have!"
dryly interjected one OF the girls.
Eyes, indeed" assented her chum, 81
wonder what the quality Of those voices
may be?"
I'm inclined to think" explained the
well informed young man, that the
larger pig, there, is singing barrowtone,
and I'm quite sure that the small one
has a Sowprano voice."
When the girls recovered conscious
ness the pigs had been fed, and the well
informed young man was over in the
field wedding out onions.-LelCtSt0n

Community of Feeling.

A blind and crippled old man sat at
the edge of the icy stone pavement
grinding out his few tunes on wheezy
hand -organ, and holding in one hand a
lineup for pennies, says the Youths
COMPANION. The colo wind blew
through his rags, and he was indeed a
pitlful object. Yet few Of the passers-
by seemed to pity him. They were all
in hurry, and it was too cold to stop
and hunt for pennies in pockets and
purses.
A sudden gust OF wind blew the old
mans cap of. 1t fell by the side Of the
pavement, few feet distant. He felt
around for it with his bare, red hands,
and then with his cane, but he could
not find it, and finally began playing
again, bare-headed, with his scanty
gray locks tossed about in the wind.
People came and went-happy, we'll
dressed men and women, in silks and
velvets and sealskins, in warm over
coats and gloves and mufiers. But
none Of them paid any attention to the
old man.
By and by woman came out Of an
alley-an old woman in rags and tat
tiers, with o great bundle OF boards and
sticks on her bent back. Some Of the
boards were so long that they dragged
on the ground behind her, and it had
evidently taken her long time to tie
all the boards and bits of lumber to-
gether and get them on her back.
She came along, bending low under
her burden, until she was within few
feet of the old organ-grinder. She saw
his cap lying on the pavement; she saw
him sitting there bareheaded.
She stopped and united the rope that
bound the bundle to her back, and in a
moment the boards were lying on the
ground. Then she picked up the cap,
put it on the old mans head and tied it
down with a ragged string of handker-
! chief taken from her own neck.
Gold, hain't ftp" she said.
He nodded.
"Ain't gittin' much to-day?"
He shook his head again.
She fumbled in her ragged skirts for a
moment and finally brought forth cop
per. She dropped it into his little cup,
hoisted the great bundle on her back,
| and went on her way.

The young man had made up his

He was between her and the door,

He began to feel that he couldn't keep
It up much longer. She was so adora-
BILE and spunky. She needed the lesson,
of course. 1t was time she learned to
be respectful to the man whose engage
ment ring she wore, and he meant to
teach her right there. He got up and
put his hands on her shoulders, held her
stubborn little face in place and kissed
her. She s9uirmed fercely, and in an
enraged whisper protested: 'It's all
very well to be kissed, but not because
one has to. Oh, dear! How just wish
I were big enough to pound you. How
dare you make me do Anything? Goo
ough! l hate you"
He went right on kissing her, but her
little face was tied up into such tangle
Of rage, and her pink fists were doubled
so fercely that he bethought himself he
might be going too far He dropped
his hands. and, without word, turned
into the hall, picked up his hat aud laid
his hand on the door knob. There was
a rustic of crisp muslin beside him, and
a plaintive little voice said:
''Oh, dear! are you going home and
not kiss me? How cruel!"

"Oh, yes; but you aren't making me
do it now"
Yet men expect to understand women!

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Sept. 23.-Labor or
ganizatlons throughout the anthracite
regions have long complained of the
propensity of the coal operators to em-
ploy cheap labor from Italy, Poland
and Hungary IN preference TO native
and naturalized miners ut living wages.
1t has now been ascertained that many
inside foremen and mine bosses, to
whom the engaing and discharging of
men are left by the owners and opera
tors, corruptIy accepted brides from
foreign applicants for work and
lay off native miners to make room
for them, unknown TO their superIors.
Detectives have been employed 10 OBJ
tain evidence of these transactions, and
IN several mines astonishing discoveries
have been made. 1t has been fonnd
that the foreigners made regular
practice of securing employment in the
mines by paying from 50 to S25 cash to
the foremen for the privilege OF work.
At the Nottingham mine the other day
John Berkheiser, inside foreman, was
summarily dismissed foracceptlng such
bribes, and at the Washington NINE.
