-'Running Some."
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.

THE FIRST BOYCOTT.
English Weavers Leagued Against tha 1
Scotch In 1527.
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

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 .. ? C* W T
eigni year?. oomi'irow 1 never ieei 4
afraid of any outcome but a wcari
ness tb botli parties when I hear of
an eight year encn?eu:ent, ?o 7 took
the little maid on. 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? He could well have provided 1,(
ill that was needed for their station
in life, and he wanted a home?and, waj
besides, the little maid at thirty
**as looking old and worn with: ?
much self denial and trouble over tr.
the saving of the coveted $350.? | bu

Monster Nests.
In Australia are to be found the ]
largest, heaviest and most peculiar ?
nests in the world. These are the ,(
nests of the jungle fowl, so called, be
rad are built in the form of great mi
mounds, the average measurement j ful
in bficbt bpincr fifteen fppt and the:P?
jircumference 150 feet. The nests ^
ire erected in secluded, sheltered ?
spots, and, as in the case of the
small nests 01 birds, they are skill- lar
hilly interwoven with leaves, grass un
ind twigs and such other suitable aci
naterial as the fowl may be able to
procure. A similar system in the J ex,
instruction of nests is followed by j
the bush turkey, whose home is,, 1
lowever, more comprehensive in de- ~~j
;ign. Its shape is pyramidal. It | Sa
las been asserted by Australian nat-, of
iralists that the nests of the bush
turkeys, which live in colonies, are acl
;o large that to move them requires plj
the services of six or seven men.? stc
