AS mentioned in Last Mondays
paper, on last Saturday after
noon about three o'clock one
William Brooks, a young Croatan,
decided to replenish his stock of
footwear at the expense of
Messrs. White & Cough, so he
selected a pair of fine No. 6
patent-leather shoes, placed them
under his sack and vamosed. But
he reckoned without taking into
consideration the all-seeing eye
of White & Coughs detective,
who overhauled William a short
distance from the store, and in
80 minutes from the time Will
liam walked out of the store with
his prize, dreaming, maybe, of
what a wide swath he would cut
that night with those shoes, he
was placed in Jail to await the
sentence that should be handed
to him. When brought before
the court Monday he plead guilty
and was sentenced to four months
on the roads, as recorded in
Thursdays Robesonian, with the
admonition that should he tres

would get Is months.

Why w. Fl. Stalvey's Case Was
Disposed of as it Was.

1t is proper to give a word of
explanation in regard to the dis
position of the case against W.
H. Stalvey, against whom there
was an indictment for an assault
with a deadly weapon. In Thurs
days paper it was stated that
Stalvey entered a plea of nolo
contendere and that judgment
was suspended on payment of
costs. Which was and is correct,
but some explanation is necessary
as to why Stalvey was not tried,
for he is an old offender and has
been before the mayor often for
being drunk and disorderly, and
when on one of his sprees he as
saulted young Roy Smith the pa
tience of a long-suffering people
became exhausted and everyone
felt that something ought to be
done with him. Everyone, that
is, except prehaps a few who
had also somewhat tried the pa
tience Of the community by 60
ing to Stalvey's rescue every
time he was committed for the
same old offence, so that it almost
seemed that some members Of the
fraternal order to which he be-
longed were determined to stand
by him past all limits.
The reason his case was dis
posed of as it was is as follows:
Mr. w. H. Humphrey told Solici-
tor Sinclair that the man was in
no condition to be tried and that
some sympathetic friends had
made up a purse to send him to
Kelly. They were confronted
with the problem of getting him
to the institute, for if sent away
alone they feared that he would
not go, but if he could be allowed
to go that afternoon (Monday),
Rev. E. M. Hoyle, who was 60
ing to Durham, would take him.
Upon Mr.. Humphreys represent
atoms as to Stalvey'S condition
the solicitor and judge agreed to
make the disposition of the case
against him given above and in
Thursdays paper.
This action has been criticised
a great deal because many peo-
pie felt that Stalvey ought to be
punished, and this explanation is
made merely to show that Judge
Biggs and Solicitor Sinclair are
in no wise at fault in the matter
And it is not intended to criticise
any one, for il the unfortunate
fellow can be reclaimed every
body will be satisfied.

When the education of the colt
should begin is a question that has
several phases. One man will con-
tend that he might as well try to
teach a baby the multiplication
table as teach colt to pay atten-
ton to commands, but the eases
are not the same. After q colt is
three months old it is in full pos
session of its faculties, if such
word may be used in this connec-
ton, and is as teachable as a much
older horse. The secret of success
in training colt, or, indeed, any
other animal, is to try to teach
only one thing at a time. Make
the first lesion a thorough one,
and and above all things do not
make the colt afraid of you. Keep
it's confidence, and whatever the
lesson is keep at it until it is per-
fectly learned. The second lesson
will be learned in a shorter time
and the third in still shorter, and
before long the colt will begin to
comprehend that you want to teach
it some new trick and it will try to
help you out to the best of its abil-
ity, and in the end once or twice
showing will be all that is needed
in any lesson.
There is great difference in the
teachability of colts. One will pick
up all sorts of tricks while another
will never be able to get beyond
the duties of cart-horse; but
good cart-horse is a valuable ami
NAL, and sometimes the best-train-
ed carriage-horse cannot fill its
place. While it requires one sort
of education to make good riding
or driving-horse, it requires anoth-
er to make cart-horse, but a much
pains should be taken with one as
the other.

ASLEEP UNDER WATER.
Ono of the Funny Incidents Possible
In q Divers Life.

Ono Of the Funny incidents Possible
In Divers Life.
AS showing how much at home q
man may be today under water may
relate an amusing story. Some months
ago while great battleship was at
Malta one Of the seamen divers went
down to clear her propeller from some
notsam that had become entangled,
and he failed to come up. 1t chancef
that the rest Of the battleship's divers
were ashore, and grave concern was
felt on the irOnclad for the missing
worker. Signals by telephone and life
line were sent below without avail. In
the launch above the throb-throb Of
the air pumps cylinders went on, but
the attendants looked at one another
in dismay, fearing some strange trag-
edy deep down in those heaving green
seas.
The worst was feared when some
big brushes and other tools came float
ing to the surface, and thereup0n the
navigating lieutenant sent ashore an
urgent message for one Of the other
divers. The man came on board,
dressed Immediately and went below,
only to come up full Of indignation.
"Why, that fellows been asleep all
this timer he said wrathfully. 1t was
true. The man had just had his lunch,
and, finding the work much less serious
than he had thought he finished 1t In
a few minutes and then sat comfort
ably on one of the giant blades Of tho
battieship propeller and went to sleep
with inqulsitive fishes swarmlng
around him, attracted by the dazzling
searchlight on bis breast. The officers
were 80 amused at the occurrence that
no punishment was inflicted on the

The Kind Of Boy He Was.

That Marshall Field Of Chicago knew
how to wrest victory from defeat and
make stepping stones Of stumbling
blocks La shown by the following story
told Of him by friend:
When a boy young Field went to a
great merchant and asked, do you
want a boy" Nobody wants boy
replied the merchant. "Do you need a
boyT the boy persisted, not at all
abashed. Nobody needs boy" was
the reply. But he would not give up.
"Well, say, mister, do you have to have
a boy?" :" think likely we do" re-
piled the merchant, "and l rather think
we will have to have boy just like
you."

A WAR TRAGEDY.
Pathetic incident at the Siege Of Port
Hudson.

At the siege at Port Hudson, La.

phonso Dubreuil. He was a young

lent secessionist, and Dubreuil and the
doctors daughter Amelia were lovers.
Louisiana seeded. Alphonso raised a
company and proved SO brave Con-
federate that the doctor, who had OPP
posed his daughters marriage, readily
consented, and the pair were married
His bride was accorded special per-
mission to so into the bomb proofs Of
the fort, where In comparative safety
-she could be near her husband. There
she saw him operating his enormous
gun, but her heart was torn with fear
for his safety. Suddenly she became
excited by the noise Of firing and, rush
ing out from her place Of safety, was
struck by piece Of she'll and fell back
lifeless. Dubreuil ran to her side, caw
death In her face and went back brave
ly to bis gun.
The next morning was beautiful, and
the sun shone gloriously. There was
cessation Of hostilities that the dead
might be buried. Thus engaged, a re-
quest came from the enemy to allow
the body Of young lady to pass
through our lines. 1t was granted.
The little cOrtege came, preceded by
military band playing mournful
dirge, and halted at the outpost. The
old musket box used as bier Yves ac-
companied by two ladies and several
officers. One Of the latter, a handsome
young fellow with long hair, walked
calmly and slowly, but his face be-
trayed the greatest grief. A detail Of
Confederate privates acted as pallbear- /
ers. Our men uncovered their heads.
All were blindfolded and led through
our lines to the steamboat. They babe !

turned blindfolded.

party, numbering from twenty to
two hundred, join in the chorus.
While the tune is carried by few
the remainder carry on peculiar
droning sound in accompaniment,
much resembling the sound of

of this is the long sustained final
note, which carried out the impress

the chorus carry out this organ

The job of shedding light upon the
recent visit of Zed Stanton to C. V. R.
R. headquarters in St. Adams, in the
office of the Montpelier journal was
turned over to the funny man of that
papers staff. 1t is hard to understand
how an incident so open to criticism
could be treated in any quarter as a
joke and still harder to understand
how Stanton's original sponsor in this
campaign-the newspaper that placed
his candidacy before the public could
so affront the intelligence of its read
ers as to be facetious when the very
honor of its favorite is at stake.
There is chance that Mr.. Stanton s
visit to ST. Adams was in the line of
legitimate business and, if that was the
case, no voice could declare so to better
purpose than that of the Montpelier
Journal. Whether the Journal will let
its fiippancy stand Or whether it will
make serious and convincing explana-
ton of the matter is being awaited
with much anxiety by Stanton support
ers and with much interest by his
opponents.
