come In and kick up a muss; some one to
stir up the peace-laden air; somebody's

A Galloway Flasi.

The G~allovidians OF old had q re-
markable war weapon known as the
Galloway fall. 1t seems to have been
indigenous to this corner OF Scotland,
and In the traditions of the province
1t occupies a prominent place. The
tide Of battle has been turned on more
than u occasion by the skillful mani,
pulation OF the Galloway dali. The,
handstaf was a tough ash saplinr
about five feet In length. and the soople.
the part for striking the barn floor when
threshing, was made Of iron, about
four feet long, with three joints, equi-
distant from each other. No swords
men could Withstand an attack with
the iail One stroke would SILVER the
sword to pieces and leave the unfortu-
nate individual at the mercy OF his o D
ponent. Then the soople with lts iron
joints would encircle Its victim ana
crush him just a. q boa constructor
would.
