A Farewell Ride

The four trained mites belonging
to the American Vulcanized Fibre Co
took some of their Newark friends on
a farewell straw ride last evening.
Many times Jack and jimmy, Pete
and Kate have figured in the good
times of the community and it is hoped
their social qualities will be as heartily
appreciated in their new home as
they have been among us.
Under the skillful direction of their
driver, Mr.. Bert Robinson, they trot-
ted obediently along, Jack on all oc-
casions exhibiting the same gallant
spirit that he shows when stepping
aside to allow jimmy to pass along
first to her place by the tongue.
From the Deer Park Hotel, they
chose tn erosd which led to the north
west. After a jolly ride they found
their team entering lane. In the
blackness OF the night. many became
mystitied as to their whereabouts But
there was one on board who had not
lost his bearings, but guided the team
unerringly to the home of a friend.
To the shouts from outside, the
windows disclosed the bobbing around
OF curious faces, which scene was soon
replaced by one of wide open doors
and hand OF welcome.
Hospitality awaited the unexpected
guests, OF the genuine old fashioned
kind. The parlor of the home was
quickly cleared and Ct dance proposed.
All Joined heartily in the fun, dane

By the above figures, it will be seen
that $4,000 worth OF property is not
assessable. These figures of course
are only approximate, but by most
readers will appear fairly conservative.
Our assessments amount to about

placed on the prisoners head, and
short time later the big knife fell and
Pieri was dead.
De Rudio was next. He had said fare
well to his wife and child and was ready
to die. AS in the case of Pieri priests
marched on either side of him. His arms
were bound behind him and his clothing
was stripped from him. practically from
his waist up, there should be nothing
to block the glittering blade in its fall.
He had asked one favor-a last one
and it had been granted. He loved to
smoke. and he craved permission to have
one pipeful of tobacco as he went to the
scaffold. Calmly smoking. he walked out
from the prison into the prison yard and
on through the rain to the scaffold. The
head and the body of Pieri had been re-
moved and the blade of the guillotine
washed clean Of blood
1t did not seem proper to Monsieur de
Paris to cut short the last smoke Of a
man about to pass out of the world, so
he was good enough to stand there in the
biting wind and rain and watch the smoke
curl from the bowl Of the pipe and
speculate as to how soon the smoke would
end.
The fire in the pipe was low and had
begun to sputter when through the prison
gate an officer hurried. He made his way
through the yard and mounted the scat
fold.
The newcomer looked at De Rudio's
scant attire and smiled.
This is rather a cold unpleasant day

To Orsini and many other Italians Ma
poleon III was the incarnation of the
anti-liberal feeling. He had been elected
president of France and had made hfm-
self emperor. He had posed as liberal
and had developed into an autocrat. In
the belief of Orsin Napoleon III was the
chief stumbling block to Italian independ-
ence To rid the world of the enemy OF
his beloved land seemed to him to be the
highest form of patriotism.
With three companiOnS-De Rud1o. Pieri
and GomeZ-he went to Paris, and on the
night of January IA, 1s4s as the emperor
and empress were returning from the
opera the four men exploded a number of
bombs close to the imperial carriage.
Neither the emperor nor the empress was
injured, but ten bystanders were killed
and $50 wounded, and the freedom OF
Italy was delayed perhaps half decade.
All four of the conspirators were cap
tured. Orsini, Pieri and De Rudlo were
condemned to die by the guillotine. Go
mez was sentenced to life imprisonment
March 1.-two months all but one day
after the bomb throwing-was the date
for the executions. Pieri was to die first
Then De Rudio's head was to fall into
the basket Next Orsini was to pay the
penalty
The fatal hour came. and Pieri. attend

to the scaffold. 1t was a cold, rainy
morning and Monsieur de Paris, shivertnt

too much for him, so he committed the
sentence to life Imprisonment in one of
Frances penal settlements There DE
Rudio spent more than five years. and
then, by taking advantage of series OF
queer happenings, he managed to escape
and make his way to America.
The north and the south were at war

years later he was assigned to the 'th
Cavalry and under Custer saw lots OF
Indian fighting. For more than ten years
he was on the frontier. Few men in the
army saw more hard service than Rudy
did in those stirring days.
In 1875 the government realized it was
going to have trouble with the Sioux,
but no one supposed it was going to be
SO serious as it proved later. For several
years the government had been endeavor-
ing to get the famous tribe to move from
Montana to a new reservation in Dakota
Sitting Bull and the chiefs refused. The
government, after all efforts at treaty
making had failed. ordered the Indians to
move by certain date or they would be
considered enemies of the United states
The Sioux thereupon took position in the
rugged country in southern Montana

marked.
De Rudio, whose thoughts were of an
other world, did not hear him, and the
officer repeated his observation.
Yes replied the prisoner. with an ap-
rroach to smile. but l scarcely have
time to catch cold.
Then De Rudio apologized for keeping
the pipe in his mouth. LAS this is my
last one, I want to get the full benefit of
it, he said.
Finish it if you desire. but you prob
ably will smoke many more. / have a
reprieve for YOU" said the officer.
The pipe fell from the mouth of De
Rudio. In the face of death he had been
a stole. Now that he was to live he
suddenly began to shiver.
The newcomer gave orders to the guard.
Monsieur de Paris, and the governor of
the prison examined the paper the mes
senger had brought. and then De Rudio
was led down the steps and along the
walk back toward the prison. AS De
Rudio was nearing the prison Orsini en-
tered the prison yard from another gate
With a common impulse the prisoners and
the priests who accompanied them halted
ward and kissed each other.
What does this mean?" asked Orsini.
II do not know" replied De Rudio
Then he explained how the reprieve had
reached him on the scaffold. Il only
know I am not to die yet he said.
Better two than three" said Orsin
as the soldiers hurried him along.

life story reads like romance. An en-
peror and an empress quarreled on his ac-
count Once he was led to the gullotine
and his clothing stripped from his neck
and shoulders ready for his execution. but
was reprieved. For a long time he was
prisoner in a dungeon. but one fortunate
day he made his escape, and, after a
series of remarkable adventures, reached
America
As IL he had not crowded enough of the
picturesque and thrilling into his life. he
entered upon a new period, which had for
death almost as dramatic that upon
the scaffold. for he was one of the men
who went to the Little Big Horn with
Custer. The luck that seemed to attend
him in France did not desert him in Mon
tana
The man of the charmed life is Mai.
Charles c. de Rudio, L. s. A, retired. He
was born in Italy in 1892 Ardent and pa
friotic, the woes of his country touched
his heart When he was but sixteen he
was one of the fiery youths who made up
the Romag nou. whose dream II was to
make Italy free. Mazzini was his idol in
those DAYS. Later Orsini took that place,
for Orsini suffered much in the cause OF
independence. Time after time the fires
the leaders cast into prison or forced into
exile, and then in a dark hour 1t seemed
to the members of the Romagnoli that all
hope was lost for a wave of anti-liberal
sentiment was spreading over Europe and
young Italy seemed to have no friends
