Half Starved Horses.

tells us that many good, industrious cit.
izens who have been unable to get en-.
ployment bad no means last winter with
which to purchase food, clothing CT
fuel. Some OF the men owned horses
which actually did starve TO death OF
were killed. Some of the half starved
animals that sold anywhere from 81
70 $35 were young and sound and would
have been vigorous if they had been
well fed, but as there was no work 10
do in the spring they had to be sold at
any price. Mr.. r. NJ Bagg of East
Springfield, Mass, was able to purchase
idle teams at home instead of making a

Il wa> Ia .sG0 and WR- Picturesque and
DialoIiCal Scene.


In January. 1923. at the town Of
| Aquilla, III the Abruzzo, then held by
a garrison Of 400 French troops, the
peasants broke into the town, and,
though they were driven ont by the
French, they continued to give serious
| trouble. They even drove the French
into the fort and made ready to DO
bard them with heavy guns. The Free
were in an awkward position.
Boulert, the officer of artillery, ran
sacking his brains for the means Of send.
ing out men TO spike the guns on the
glacis, under rhe lire of the insurgents
from the neighboring houses, suddenly
remembered that he had seen in his
magazine some suits of plate armor, and
h.. proposed to try whether, protected
by them, men could not sally out and
work in security under the Ahusketry
fire. He got together la complete suits
and dressed out 2 gunners and grena-
diers thus, selecting big men, be il re-
marked At certain hour the garrison
lined the covered way, and from thence
and from the fort opened steady fire
of musketry and of artillery on the lines
of the insurgents.
Then out marched the 12 knights of
the eighteenth century, much in Da-
vid's state of mind when he complained
he had not proved his armor. The men
carried handspikes, hammers and spikes.
Moving naturally slowly and awk-
wardly in their heavy steel mail, still
they succeeded in completing their work
under a hail of bullets from the insur-
gents. The scene is described, as we
can well believe, to have been most re
markable and to have had something
picturesque and also diabolical about it,
As the mailed figures moved in ST.
lence among the guns, their handspikes
looking like maces, their silence and
the slowness of their actions seemed
unnatural under the steady hail of bull
lets. The insurgents We're believed to
have thought hell itself had sent forth
these extraordinary antagonists, ghosts
of "A past age, while the French ON the
ramparts, true to their nature, the first
