TRY A WANT AD LAST FIGHT IN ARMOR WAS NOT IN THE MIDDLE AGES, A8 MIGHT BE IMAGINED. duick-Witted French Commander, in 1799, Clothed. His Soldiers in Steel and Sent Them to Spike Guns Which Annoyed Him. The last fight in armor occurred Juring Napoleon’s time. In 1799, the main army of the French:-having with- drawn from the town of Aquila, a body of some four hundred soldiers remained in the place, whose inhab- 0 am | itants were well disposed toward them. But the peasants of the sur- rounding region were bitterly hostile and, rising in revolt, penetrated the town and drove the Frenchmen into the fortress, which was small and weak, yet powerful enough to hold the Insurgents at bay with its cannon. These insurgents numbered ten or twelve thousand. They barricaded the street and loopholed the houses s0 that they were safe from attack, but this did not satisfy them. They wished to take the fort, which, with- sut artillery, was manifestly impossi- ble. Finally some cunning brain de- vised a scheme that came near to be-. Ing successful. Between the fort and the nearest houses there lay on the glacis, with- sut carriages and resting upon pieces of wood, twelve guns which the French had not had time to take into lhe fort with them. The position of the guns exposed them to fire from both sides, so it was not thought they would be interfered with, though by way of precaution two of the guns of the fortification were kept trained up- on them. One night the sentinel heard a noise. He fired, but the sound con- linned and did not immediately cease after other shots, though it seemed to draw farther off. When daylight came it was seen that, under cover of darkness, the insurgents had reached the nearest gun, attached a rope to the breech, and then, fastening the rope to a capstan in the nearest house, had attempted to haul the piece away. Had it been a military man who tried the trick, he would have suc- ceeded, but the peasants did not know enough to thrust rollers under the gun before hauling, and consequently the breech dug a furrow into the soil which soon became deep enough to stop further progress. Nevertheless, the besieged were much irritated by the occurrence and determined to prevent a repetition of It. They cannonaded the house from which the rope issued, but when the walls fell they found that the capstan was in the cellar and, consequently, un- Injured, although blocked for the time by debris. This did not content them. Then it was that the commandant of the * fort remembered “having - seen stowed away in it somewhere a dozen suits of ancient armor. He selected twelve of his coolest men, gunners and grenadiers, clothed them in this armor, and sent them out to spike the guns. Covered with steel from hend to foot and carrying spikes and hammers, the men marched heavily, awkwardly, out of the fort.and moved in dead silence toward the coveted guns, the white smoke curling about their mailed fig- ures, and bullets pattering harmlessly mgainst antique helm and corselet. Many of the peasants were horror- struck and believed the strange fig- ures to be diabolical and invulnerable while, after the first anxious moment was passed, their own comrades, look- ing from the walls, broke into exul- tant roars of laughter. The twelve latter-day knights re- turned safely from their raid, having spiked the guns and cut the rope. Though many times hit, they had but one wound among them, a slight one received by a soldier who had wrong- 1y adjusted a “brassart,” so that it fell off and left his arm exposed. The in- surgents were discouraged; and, though the blockade continued, there was little more fighting and the be- sleged were soon relieved by their friends.—Harper’s Weekly. Netherland Monarchy. Next year the Netherlands will be come an lndepenhent monarchy, and the event will be commemorated in various forms. One will be a mark time and naval exposition covering 50 acres on the north side of the har bor of Amsterdam. The land is now worthless, but will be permanently drained and after ward used as a park.

In the recent WAS WITHIN PALE OF LAW| case of Seaton vs..commonwealth;-149 l Southwestern Reporter, 871, defend- ant was convicted on such a charge, and appeals to the court of appeals of Kentucky, the docket states. A child of the defendant having died, he set about to bury it. Taking some piece of rough board, he made a rude box to serve as a coffin. = Although he had good lumber out of . which he could have made a better and more presentable box, he said that he did not propose using his good lumber for this purpose. This box was taken to a point in the woods lot and ‘a grave dug by two neighbors about two feet deep. ' Defendant brought the corpse from the'house in 8 small pa- per box to where the grave was be- ing dug, placed it upon the ground | and assisted in’ digging the grave. When completed, the paper box with the corpse was placed in the wooden box and lowered. The grave was then filled to.a level with the surrounding ground, defendant assisting by tramp- ing the dirt as it was being put back into the grave. No services of any kind were heard at the grave. Do these facts consti- tute a crime? The court holds that it was the right of the defendant to select the place where his child should be buried, and he violated no law or duty in selecting a spot in the woods rather than in a cemetery. There is no rule of law defining how a corpse shall be dressed for burial, or the character of coffin or casket in which it should be incased, or the ma- terial out of which the box in which the coffin is to be placed shall be made, nor the depth of the grave; nor is it an offense not to notify relatives and friends so that they may be pres- ent at the interment, for they have no legal right to be present. There is no law imposing upon those having in charge thé burial of the dead any duty to have the interment . accompanied with religious ceremony. The court concludes with the following: “It was no doubt the extremely miserly and niggardly disposition manifested by appellant that aroused the indignation of his neighbors, causing the indict- ment, and ultimately induced the jury to assess the fine against him which it did. While, by the facts in the record, appellant is shown to be a man utterly lacked in parental in- stinct, he has kept himself within the pale of the law. At the conclusion of the evidence the trial judge should have directed a verdict in his favor.” NEWTON GIRL Pale, Run-down, Aneamic—Restored to Health by Vinol. Miss Katharine Buins of ‘Newton, Mass., says, “About six months ago I was in a run-down condition and my blood was very poor. I had taken several medicines prescribed by phy- sicians, but they seemed to do me no good. Finally Vinol was recommend- ed, and from the first bottle I noticed a great improvement. I have taken six bottles and I feel strong and as well as ever.”—Katherine Burns. Vinol is the greatest body builder and strength creator we know of— the curative elements of the cod’s liver, aided, by the blood-making, strengthening properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol, restore the lack- ing ingredients to the blood, and the result is health, strength and vigor. If you need building up try a bot- tle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Barker’s Drug Store, Bemidji, Minn.—Adv.
