Former knight. of tho Road.

The dissolution of the monasteries had
greatly increased vagrancy in the six
teenth century. Rich abbeys, like that
of Reading, employed large numbers Of
workmen and servants, who when their
masters had fallen into evil case were
thrown upon heartless world and took
to robbery for livelihood. The hospitia
of the monasteries in the good old days
always provided food and a bed for
weary travellers, Of whatever rank they
were, and needy wanderers sorely felt
the loss of their kind hosts. The rich
courtiers grabbed the church lands and
wealth, and the poor folk followed their
example by grabbing whatever they
could lay their hands on. Consequently
there were in these parts "a great stoare
of stout vagabonds and mysteries men
cable enough for labour), which do great
hurt in the county by their idle and
naughtie life. The unfortunate persons
who were robbed could claim compen-
sation from the inhabitants ON the hun
dred in which the robbery took place.
This old law was as ancient as the time
of our great Berkshire king, Alfred: for
who is ignorant of the fact that when
gold bracelets were hung up by the
roadside ON account of the enforcement
of this law and the fear of the vengeance
of the hundred no one dared to remove
them?
But when these highway robberies on
Maidenhead thicket were SO frequent,
the burden of making compensation fell
somewhat heavily on the inhabitants OF
the hundred of Benhurst. In one year
they paid as much as e255 for robberies
committed on unfortunate wayfarers.
Therefore special act of parliament
was passed in 1897 in order to relieve
the inhabitants from their burdens. -

gable, was built. 1t was pierced With
two windows and door, rooted with
smaller logs and matched with lone

tious luxury to one of hidden toll and
privation and further significance in
the slow and gradual restitution and
degradation of these elegant souvenirs.
A pair of silver boot hooks had been
used for raking the hearth and lifting
the coffee kettle. The ivory Of the
brushes was stained with coffee. The
cut glass bottles had lost their shoppers
and had been utilized for vinegar and
salt. A silver framed hand mirror hung
against the blackened wall. For the
majors occupancy was the sequel of a
hurried flight from his luxurious hotel

affair blew over and he could return
in safety to browbeat his accusers, as
was his wont. But this had not been SC

until the fracas which ended in the
shooting of the sheriff had apparently
closed the door upon his return to civil.

AGE Brings Honor.

Though most great captains and war
rlors have made their reputation before
reaching the age of so, there are some
who did their best work at a much
greater age. The most striking in
stance of this is, perhaps, that of En-
rico Dandolo, elected Doge Of Venice in
1892, at the age of 50. In the follow
ing years he attacked and conquered
Trieste. the Ionian Islands, and Con
stantinople. In 1904, being then o.
years of age, he took Constantinople by
storm, himself leading the attack.

A good story is being told on one Of
Louisville's most prominent homeo
pathic physicians. Several days ago a
young woman called at his office, and
after 6iscoursing ON all the topics of in.
terest of the day settled down to tell
him her ailments. Among ether things
she said that she was greatly ANNOYED
with sinking feeling. The physician
prepared little bottle of pills and gave
them to her, with minute directions as
TO how they should be taken. The wom-
an again began to talk, and after many
vain efforts to get her out she started
for the door. She had just opened it
when she turned and said, "Oh, doctor,
what shall do if these pills do not cure
me?" Take the cork" he retorted.
"They tell me that's good for sinking
feeling" And he called the next patient
into his private Office. Louisville Post.
