fault lies with the mail messengers on

the thing is becoming a nuisance and
one which ought to be abated. The

T,fr copis Dur1Lo.-Can IL be that

T1fE CoDE DuELLo.-Can u be that
the age of chivalry has returned to
stimulate the brave and haunt the tim
Id in our day and generation? Can it
be that that dread code of honor which
has caused so many proud spirits to
lay down their lives rather than suffer
the jibes and taunts of the base rable,
has again thrust its grim visage into
our Christian community and again
become clamorous for victims upon It's
blood-stained altar? In point of fact,
is this thing thus or otherwise?
We are led to these reflections by the
fact that two of our citizens last Mon
day met on the street, and after ex-
changing heated and angry words, one
of them, who by the way is city off,
Ger, ferociously dared the other to go
outside of the corporate limits and
there participate with him in mortal
combatSthere shed his blood on the
altar of outraged honor!!-there seek
speedy and bloody graye!!! The chal-
lenged party, with flerceness which
has no parallel, 'reared back on his
pasterns' and said he was prepared
right then and there for the mortal
fray-there in the very center of our
municipality, and though our streets
should run red with his blood he would
never yield until he had erected Il put
ty snout onto the challenger's physi-
mahogany. AS this bloody-thirsty
talk greeted the ears of our citizens they
rushed to the scene OF the wordy tour
nament, and, while n small boy led the
city official away by the left ear, an
equally fragile urchln took the otherby
the collar and hied him away in an OPP
posite direction. The hoarse mutter-
ings of the belligerents who were thus
forcibly prevented from shedding hu-
man gore were heard until they were
long obscured FROM each others vision
by friendly street corners. And ut last
advices all is quiet on the Calipooia.

LAZINESS.

Laziness prevents man from getting of
his horse to put up the first rail that gets
knocked off the fence, and through this
lazy neglect, whole field ofcorn is seriously
damaged.
Laziness keeps man from driving one
nail when one would do, and finally costs a
carpenters bill for extensive repairs.
Laziness allows gate to get off the
hinges and lie in the mud, or stand propped
up by rails-or stable OF barn to leak and
damage hundreds of dollars worth Of pro-
yeDder.
Laziness in short, is the right and proper
name for nine-tenths of the excuses given
tor bad farming. But by far the most
prolific of many wastes that are due to lazi-
ness is the waste of ignorance But this
waste is in itself so great, and has so many
ram6cations, that we shall have to defer
its discussion for anot er time.
