Th ere have been many tales-fasci
mating for every age-of men who have
been cast away and of their adventures
on strange shores; but G. G. D. Rob-
erts under title of "a Stranger to the
Wild" has written for the Christmas
Century of a superb white stallion
who swan to safety from sinking
ship, to find himself longing for the
plateaus of his northern Spain and for
human companions, and bewildered
with terror and loneliness. For days
he wanders in strange land, altogeth-
er human in his fright and in his
yearning for comradeship, until at last
he comes again upon man and his own
kind. 1t is said that Charles Living
stOn Bull has never done better than
in the spirited and sympathetic illus
trations which he has made to accom-
pany this story.

The ZENITH SHOE.
IT'S STANDARD MAINTAINED IN SPITE
OF HIGHER PRICES.

Along with about everything else,
leather has advanced materially in
price. In spite of this, Meigs & Co.,
of bridgeport, announce that they will
maintain the high standard of the
Zenith g so shoe and bear the brunt of
the great rise in leather. The import
tance OF this action on the part Of the
introducers Of this famous shoe is
fully appreciated by the thousands of
men who wear the Zenith Shoe. The
same style and perfect lit and the same
serviceable qualities which have made
the Zenith shoe famous will still be
available at the old price. The fact
that this shoe is presented in the
authoritive shapes as well as the more
conservative lasts moulded Specifically
for comfort, gives it q broad clfentage
among all classes of men. Dressy
young fellows find what they want in
the Wireless, Belmont and Nabob lasts,
while the orth0pedic last brings to
men who stand or walk much the
greatest comfort obtainable IN shoe

communications of western Louisiana
and Texas. The place itself was raised
but slightly above the surface of the
water, and tradition is that the Indians
had built it as a refuge from the floods
In the very excellent history of the 18th
n H., by Adj't Townsend, the follow
ing description is given of the place and
the life there:
When we took possession, Butte-a-
la-Rose was essentially a little island
surrounded for miles with water, ex-
cepting on the west, where land could

lance of five or six miles.
AT the north. also, there were two
)r three plantations on the shores of
the Atchafalaya that were not entirely
as Brashear City, and east, as far as
Port Hudson, even the arabic land was
covered with water in many places to
the depth of from seven to 10 feet so
that the small, fat-bottomed stern
wheel steamers that ply in those waters
were sailing at that time through door
yards and over corn and cane fields
Nearly all fencing was out of sight un-
der water.

very strategic position fror, military
point of view, proved also to be such
from several other points of view. 1t
