shoes mentioned are usually bowed or
followed out at the inner side of the
shank, while the straight foot is in
most cases quite full at the hollow
under the instep.
AS the shoe is so constructed that it
cannot conform to the shape of the foot,
it is. consequently, pushed over until
the upper overrides the sole sufficiently
to make room. | have seen examples
where the foot had been forced against
the side of the shoe until the little toe
projected beyond the edge of the sole.
The only redeeming feature of either
the common sense or Piccadilly shoe is
that ample room is provided for the
great toe, but this is more than Offset
by the pinching of the smaller ones.
While the foot is breaking" the shoe
into shape the three smaller toes are
being crowded against the shoe upper,
and, long before the breaking-in process
is completed, corns have taken deep
root on at least two of the toes, and,
possibly. on the third There should
be no such thing as breaking-in a new
shoe.

swarmed rapidly forward and captured
it, along with four thousand prisoners,
two generals, twenty cannon and thirty
cOlors
But then and there the agony began.
One side became elated, the other
alarmed over the crisis reached. The
angle was too vital point to be given
up without struggle and both armies
poured reinforcements into it and
fought for its possession during the day
at close quarters.
The earthworks, especially at the
apex, remain even now self-evident
proof of close fighting. They stand
double, indicating the great stress
which compelled the captors to adopt
the offensive and defensive at one and
the same time by putting up hastily
counterworks contiguous with those al
ready captured. Here the conflict is
seen to have been desperate, hand to
hand; nothing but piled up logs and
mounds separated the combatants. The
fighting was so rapid and fierce that
the trenches had to be cleared Of the
dead and horribly nangled in order to
get fighting room.
An oak tree, twenty-five inches in
diameter, was cut down by musket balls
and fell to crush those under it. 1t
stood within six feet of the earthwork.
The remaining trunk, spiintered and
Clipped around, was years after dug up
by the roots, photographed and re-
moved to = museum as a curious me
mento.
The large hole in the ground which
held this tree is still pointed out to Wis
itors bent on inquiring for a fun &C
count of the relics. Near by one has
only to stoop to pick up bullets stuck in
the red sides of the earthwork; they
pierced it SO forcibly and copiously be-
meath the surface as to be merely now
laid bare by the wearing away of the
oversoil.

is no wonder, therefore. that the In

war as topic of discourse is enduring,
transmitted from sire to son and venti-

Approaching the courthouse from an
easterly direction we soon find ourselves
on the edge of the battle field, as evil

road and is now distinctly visible. de-
