THE MILITARY SQUARE.
Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the -Ieminus.


 The greatest of ail Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn, fought in the year 1911. Apart from its bear ing on the independence of Scotland the battle will always have an excep- tlonal interest from the military pon. of view. as Bannoekburn may be said 10 have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that Of the Scots, on the othel hand, was almost exclusively composed Of foot folk armed with ;he spear, and these Bruce threw into "sclil troms," or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings, who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad him. but Courtray and BannoekburG proved that he WAS powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn tip in ''schiltroin." or hedgehog. forma lion, and these two battles revolution iZed tue tactics of the continent and of our own island. Proiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannoekbnrn, the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agineourt As il was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannoekburn. so it was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard it with their thin red line" and now. owing to our changed conditions of warfare. it is icle

Maine Man Lost Thirty Thousand
Dollars by Job.
Pasture He Snapped for $50 Worth
Of Paint Afterwards Increased
Rapidly In Value; Says Style
Is Costly.

Bangor, Me.-The costliest job of
house painting on record hereabouts
is reported by a Northeast Harbor
man, who lost fortune through his
anxiety to make improvements upon
his residence and his poor opinion of
Northeast Harbor's prospects. This
man concluded some years ago that
his house, then white, would look a
great deal better If painted a sort of
canary color, with pea green trim
mings. He hadn't the money to pay
for the paint or work, but he had
plenty of land, being in fact land poor.
To friend from Ellsworth the North
east Harbor man said:
Here, Jim, | need $50 the worst
way. Now, you give me the $50 and
I'll give you deed to that pasture lot
down there to the shore
And Jim said, after some thought

silenced by a Malay knife. Two
prahus had come alongside and in
them were ten men, some Chinese and
others Malays.
They proceeded to strike right and

and proceeded to hang him up in buc-
cancer style to force him to disclose
the location of the most valuable car
go. This he did, and the pirates hay
ing secured all the booty they could
make away with, departed as silently

Safe Made of Concrete.

A concrete safe has been installed
in the Office Of an engineer on a Cana
dian barge canal. The safe is used by
the engineers to preserve their rec
ords, drawings and fine instruments
rom the weather and as precaution
against fire. The safe in question has
a steel door and asbestos lining, with
combination lock, and is nodded of
concrete in one piece, The cost is
little compared to that of steel safe,
and for all practical purposes they are
as good. When the engineer moves
10 another place the concrete shell
can be stripped from it's door and lin
ing and another safe constructed else
where from the same wooden forms.
The safes used by the state in the
barge canal work measure about
three feet in diameter on the inside.

Attacked by Mad Offers.

Snow Hill, Md.-Made rabid through
fights with mad dogs during the re-
cent scare. apparently, seven otter vi
ciously attacked Stewart Purnell and
Thomas Martin, two colored men cut
ting wood near Porter's bridge, in the
dense swamp along the Pocomoke
river, and the men declare they had a
narrow escape from being killed
The attack occurred in a dense
place, and it was impossible to put
up an effective fight, as the vicious
animals had the advantage of being
able to attack from points of van
tage not possessed by men. The cut
ters tried to retreat to their boats, but
were cut off by the largest and fiercest
of the offers, which, Purnell says, got
so close that he could see right into
the creatures eyes.
Even when the men finally reached
the boat the animals continued the
tight, following the boat until it
reached deep water, but keeping out
OF reach of the mems oars The men
declared that some of the otter were
five or six feet long, and that they
heard more of them back in the
swamp.
