Sundaj* ni<fht between 8 and 0 o'clock, a horse hitched to a buggy dashed into town, via iMain street, at a 2:40 clip. When it reached tiie Williamsburg Livestock Co s stables,the horse suddenly veered to the left and ran into the closed doors at the entrance of the stables, actually breaking through them. The buggy was unoccupied and strange to say neither the horse nor the vehicle was seriously damaged. It was subsequently learned that the horse belonged to Mr J M Nexsen and had gotten away with the buggy at his store three and a half miles east of town. It is supposed that the horse covered the whole dis tance in a run, but no one kept tab on his speed. Dr Clifton's Engagement.

The trade boycott is by no means of as recent origin as some people '; suppose, nor is it of Irish extrac- . tion. Among the earlv boycotts ' which strongly suggest the modern institution is one that hails from north England and is chronicled in Brands "History of Newcastle." This had its inception in a dread of | Scotch competition. On Aug. 31, 1527, in the corporation of weavers , in Newcastle a number of regula- I tions were adopted, among them ' 1 that ''no member shall take a < , Scotchman to apprentice or set any ': L of that nation to work under a pen- ;1 alty of 40 shillings." More than this tn r-flll a brother "Soot or man- i ' J sworn" involved a forfeit of 6s. 8d., j ! j "without any forgiveness." ;1 The canny Scotch doubtless did j j not delay to pay back., the English 1 I in kind, but it is neSly two centuries later before any record ap- j j pears of the extent to which this i commercial feud raged between the ; ! two peoples or as to the reprisals 1 that were made by the "blue bon- 1 nets over the border." ! In 3 752 a sort of covenant was j ; entered into by the drapers, mercers, milliners and other trades-!' , men and shopkeepers of Edinburgh i to cease all dealings with commer- '{ rial travelers from England, then 13 called "English riders." The Ian- I i guage of this covenant runs: "Con- j ] sidering that the giving of orders i or commissions to English riders or 1 clerks of English houses when they ' ^ come to this city tends greatly to the destruction of the wonted j' wholesale trade thereof, from which j ] most of the towns in Scotland used j to be furnished with goods, and ! j that some of these English riders j not only enhance the said wholesale |1 trade, but also correspond with it ! and sell goods to private families ; ' and persons at the same prices and i rates as if to us in a wholesale way,,1 and that their frequent journeys to ' this place are attended with high j ' charges, which consequently must' \ j be laid on the cost of those things j i we buy from them, and that we can | ' 1 be as well served in goods by a written commission bv post (as little or i 1 j no regard is had by them to the j \ | patterns or colors of goods which , I we order them to send when they ! are here), therefore, and for the j j promotion of trade (?), we hereby j 1 voluntarily bind and oblige our-, selves that in no time coming we shall give any personal order or commission for any goods we deal In to any English dealer, clerk or j rider whatsoever who 6hall come to Scotland." To this document, with its naive | pretense that it is for "the promo- J tion of trade," is added an obliga- j tion to have "no dealings with any people in England who shall make a practice of coming themselves or sending clerks or riders into Scotland." The penalty for violating this agreement was 6et down to be ?2 2s. for every offense.?Indianapolis News. . j In these physical culture days: some people display great agility in dodging taxes. -ladies IN ALL THE LATEST SH/ LT3IES' SHO] ?^HEN'S, OF S.

An English Maiden Who Lost Her Be- ; J trothed by Waiting. j A few* years ago in England I had j a little maid, aged twenty-nine j years, who had been engaged to be J married many years. "Are you en- J gaged ?" I asked her when she came ; to seek the situation I had adver tised, for if she was shortly to leave me to be married I decided that I would prefer an unengaged maid. I "Yes, madam/' she answered re ppectfully. "I hav^ been engaged f li .. ?

One day I found her crying over the blacking of inv walking boots. Inquiring theeau?c i 4 of her distress, she sobbed: ; * "Oh. madam, I never can save the ! $350, no matter \>w 'ard I trr!" I "What $350.?" I asked. ' j "The $350 to get married with! j I've tried eight years to be cconom- j 4 ical. I ave to 'elp my mother, and j * I've only $05 in the postoffice sav- j ings bank!" j t "And why must you have $350 ?" * [ asked kmdlfr. "For clothes aud linen, m?lam." 4she said. I "It is not necessary," I sdd. "I o can tell you how to buy all you ? need for $50, and that will leave vou $45 to lay aside for use after j ^ marriage or on a rainv day." "Xo, madam. I 'ope I know ~~ what is proper and becoming in a Uj bride!" she said, almost freczingly. sa A few months later I found her ti( weeping again. "'E's broke it tioff!" she said. "'E wouldn't wait. ? 'E's going to marry another girl, Bl md I 'ad five tablecloths ready to 'emmed and six pillowcases, all 'em- an rtitched." It was pathetic, but who could blame the man, now thirty-five 12 years old, who had by that time I ? waited nearly ten years for her to tir ^ave enough money for her trous- f0] ;eau?
