Those of the guards who pursued the
convicts were Messrs. Penn, Lambert,
Porter Elsey and Saunders.

fight followed. and Mr. Ford shot one

A REAL OLD COUNTRY STORE.
Reproduced in All Its Rural Wonder
at "a CITY show

From the Boston Trlnsoriptl
Many city mother who was born in the
country and spent her childhood days there
happily remembers the old country store
which was more OF a curiosity shop than
anything else. Often she has told her
children about the fascinating place, but
no matter how vivid her word painting
never did she feel that she had really
made them see the old shop exactly as it
was. Now at the Sportman's Show there
is. in all its perfection of dust and fly
specks. the old country store. and every
country bred mother who has discovered
it is delightedly showing her children
around and telling them Of the days that
are gone.

try store Outside on the clapboards are
seen old signs that have been showed on
and rained on until they are valuable an

trance a low wooden bench. where the

until it has been worn thin. On the other
side of the entrance is a grindstone. In

the few and substantial wants of our fore
fathers In the centre of the room is the
inevitable square box stove, turned red
dish brown on the hearth. with the con
slant shower Of tobacco juice Beside the
stove under the window is the settee which
has held store loungers until holows have
been worn in the hard wood. and the paint
has long since faded away.
In the dim rear of the store are seen a
hogshead of mo!asses and barrels OF kerO-
sene. The standby Of the community the

There are stacks OF round red boxes fill

cation OF America is best traced in the
tremendous difference between the neck

fairs of fearful design which once satisfied

ranged with an eye for convenience rather
than for artistic effect Again the passing

full of pink and white-striped peppermint
and wintergreen candy. From line hang
