LIFE IN THE LONG AGO.
When Hvts Were Homes and 0sde

Wsrs Shaksdowns Of Straw.
For centuries the common people Of
England made their home in wooden
huts Of one room. When family In
creased In numbers or wealth another
hut was built beside 1t. or. rather,
lean-to was added and then another
and another. as need required.
Sometimes they followed q straight
line. At other times they were built
out from the central hut at various an
giles. The roofs of these huts were
matched. An opening was left in the
center for the smoke to escape. The
Gre was always built in hollow in the
center Of the room. Beds were made
Of straw. Often they were merely
shakedowns In the corner. Occasion
ally the straw was held in little
frame resembling the ribs Of a ship.
Houses built by Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They were big
halls. like the Roman atrium. with
lofty roof matched with slate or wood
shingles. The floor was Of hard clay.
In the middle was a great fire Of dry
wood. The thin. acrid smoke from the
flre escaped through an opening In the
roof directly above the hearth.
Round the flre were long benches, on
which hearthsmen and visitors sat
when not fighting or at work. and talk

tables were long boards on trestles Al
night the floor was strewn with stra W,

KIDNAPPING VOTERS.

In England genera ton or two ago
KIDNAPPING was regularly organized
feature Of political warfare. On the
eve Ut an election especially men Of In

strange tales Of forcible seizures. mad
races across country in post chaises
driven by yelling positions, followed
by longer or shorter terms of gilded
Imprisonment in great mansions, where
they were wined and dined in sump-
tuOus style and treated right royalty
in every way. only their liberty being
denied them.
Quite humble voters. too. were fOrci-
bly, abducted. but these did not always
fare quite so well. Thus one victim
made complaint before a magistrate
that he had been decoyed from his
house by a ruse and kept shut up in a
coal hole for three days.
Wholesale kidnapping of voters In
patches. too. was not unknown. the
process being rendered easier by the
custom Of candidates paying the trav.
cling expenses of their electors to and
from the polling places.
For instance. at certain Newcastle

COURAGE FOR. RIGHT.

Sir, it is not for me. an hum

to my eye the path Of our duty
is as distinct as the Milky way

ing light. 1t is the path of ac-
tive preparation. Of dignified en-
ergy. 1t is the path Of 1776. It
consists not in abandoning our
rights. but in supporting them
as they exist and when they ex-
ist-on the ocean as we'll as on
the land. 1t consists in taking
the nature of things as the
measure of the right of your
citizens. not the orders and de-
crees of imperious foreigners.
Give what protection you can.
Take no counsel Of fear. Your
strength will increase with the
trial and prove greater than you
now are aware.
But I shall be told, "This may
lead to war;" l ask, Are we

A military bridge, with tracks for
