should meet all those of the Duke in n
grand encounter to the death. The
Dukes followers gladly accepted the
challenge. Three hundred men on each
side would have fought, had not the King
resolutely forbidden the duel. De Quelus,
that night, led number of gentlemen in
an attack on Bussy's lodgings. Busy
and his followers made a stout resistance,
the tumult becoming SO great that the
Marechal de Montmorency called out
the Scotch Guard TO clear the street
in front of Busy house; and 1T was time
Several gentlemen and servants were
living in their blood; and some OF these
died of their wounds.
1t was openly known, about the court,
that the Duke of Anjou held the King to
be privy to these attacks OH Busy, and
was frightfully enraged thereby; and
that the King, in constant fear OF the
Dukes departure to join the Huguenots,
which event would show the King
inability to prevent sedition even In the
royal family, and would give the Guise
party another pretext TO complain OF his
inconvenience, would forcibly obstruct
the Dukes going.
1t was this state of affairs that mad
Catherine de Medici again take up her
abode in the Louvre, that she might be
on the ground in the event of family
outbreak, which was little less probable
to occur at night than in the daytime.
She had lately lived part of the time in
her new palace of the Tuileries, and
part of the time in her Hotel des Files
Repenties, holding her council in either
of these places, and going to the Louvre
daily for the signature of the King tnlthe
documents of her own fabrication At
this time, Mile. d Arency was one of the
ladies of the Queen-mother's bed

Why Doesn't n Train Run on the
Track nj \ Curyef

When we remember the first law Of
motion which states that a moving
object tends to go on moving i'm the
same direction definitely and when we
remember the comparative ease with
which bicycle or even an automo-
bile will turn over while rounding q
corner under high speed. II appears
remarkable that trains can take sharp
curves at nifty or sixty miles an hour
without leaving the rails. As a mat
ter of fact, the tendency is for them
to jump the track and they would do
so II 1t were not for the way in which
the wheels are constructed and. even
more important, the manner in which
the tracks ar. banked" at the curves.
Railway engineers, in constructing
railroads. take into consideration the
rate of speed at which trains will
travel in rounding a curve and lay
their rails accordingly. raising the
outer rail certain definite amount for
every ten miles per hour Of speed.
The principle is the same as in the
construction OF a speed-track for
motorcycles or automobiles Here the
track is banked" sharply at the
curves and the machines, rounding
these at high rate OF speed, arc pre-
vented from turning over by reason
of this difference in elevation. A rail-
road curve. however, which is de-
signed to be taken at forty miles an
hour, will not be safe at sixty miles
and wrscks sometimes occur because
engineers fail to pay attention to the
rate OF speed on certain sharp turns.

or swapping on the last coach Of the

straight front, and take purse and scrip,
and journey to some place as different
as YOU can find from your regular abid-
ing place Even the beasts of burden
are entitled to respite from their
labors. and no housewife can find rest
in her own home though she seek it with
a search warrant and with tears.
Even the butcher. and the baker,
and the ice man, and the laundry boy
will be hammering on her door, and the
crv of 'fM-o-o-ether' will never be out
OF her ears. and her husband will be ask
ing "Where is the tack hammer and my

Therefore go East If your husband

NEWBERRY CITY SCHOOL
BUILDING BONDS SOLD

The trustees of the city schools
have sold the bonds that were voted
some while ago for enlarging the
school buildings. The issue was $780,
600 and they were sold for $4,000.
The sale was made through and with
the assistance of the National bank
of Newberry to bond concern in
Toledo, Ohio. 1t has been a very
difficult matter to sell bonds and as
these bore only five per cent. inter-
est made it necessary to sell below
par but even that will level up in
the end and by not selling the bonds
when first voted and undertaking the
work of building at that time the
city schools will save very large
amount because building now is not
more than fifty per cent of what it
was then and $4,000 will go much
further than 100000 would at that
time, so it is all working well, and
now we expect to see something do
ing in the matter of improving the
school buildings and the room that is
necessary by the. enlargement of the
attendance.
