Discomfort.

Two boats rocked on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree;
One was In love with the harbor,
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds of fate outbore,
But held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river.
In the shadow Of leaf aud tree
With wistful eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailing far and fleet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets again the quiet
OF the mOs7-grown covered shore !;
One signs that II may enter
That harbor nevermore
Ore vearies of the dangers
Of the tempcst's rage aud wall;
One dreams amid the lilies,
OF far-off snowy sail.
OF all that life can teach us
There's Daught so true az this:
The winds OF tate blew ever,
But ever blow amiss.

FORTY IN A DUEL.
The Event which Excited Natchez
Fifty Wears Ago.
Morristown Tenn Gazettee.

Morristown (Tenn.) Gazettee.l
The famous duel in which forty OF
more gentlemen were engaged in 1928, Is
still remembered iii NatcheZ. Col. JAS.
Bowie, the famous fighter and inventor
of the knife which bears his name. used
to speEd a great deal Of his time in that
city. He was challenged by gentleman
from Alexandria, La, whose friends to
the number of forty or more accompa-
MED him to Natchez to see fair play,
knowing that Bowie was a desperate
man and had his own friends about him.
All parties went upon the field. The
combatants took their places in the cen
ter separated from their friends IN the
rear, or enough not to endanger them
with their balls. Behold the battle ar
raw thus: Twenty armed Louisianans fifty
wards behind their champion and his sec
onds and surgeon, and opposite them, as
far behind Bowie and his seconds and
surgeon, twenty armed Mississippians
Behold the heights of Natchez thronged
with spectators, and a steamer in the
river rounded to, its deck black with
passengers watching with deep interest
the scene.
The plan of fight was to exchange
shots twice with pistols and to close with
knives, Bowie being armed with his own
terrible weapon. At the first fire both
parties escaped At the second the
Louisianian was too quick, and took ad,
vantage of Bowie, who waited the word.
At this Bowie's second cried "foul play"
and shot the Louisianian dead. The
second of the latter instantly killed the
slayer of his principal. Bowie drove his
knife into this man. The surgeons now
crossed blades, while with loud cries,
came on the two parties of friends, the
light of battle in their eyes. In mo-
meut the whole number was engaged in
q fearless conflict. Dirks, pistols and
knives were used with fatal effects until
one party drove the other from the field.
/ do not know how many were killed and
wounded in all, but ii was a dreadful
slaughter. Bowie fought like a lion,
and fell covered with wounds. For
months he fingered at the Mason house
before he fully recovered.

A Fathers Overpowerins Love.

From the N. o. Picayune.l
Yesterday afternoon, about half past
l2 o'clock, Charles ). Sauvinet, who,
under the Warmoth administration, was
civil sheriff of the city. committed sui
eide at his residence, Kerleree street,
corner of Dauphine. His devotion to
one of his sons, youth about sixteen
years of age, WHO'S seriously afflicted with
a pulmonary disease, was the cause
which led him to destroy himself. When
the youth, who in his earlier years had
shown great aptitude for study, was
sufficiently old to be separated from his
parents, he was sent away. Some time
ago, having received a brilliant educa-
ton. he returned home. His success at
school increased the affection of his
father, who became devoted to him
Hardly had he returned home, than the
FIRST symptoms of the terrible malady be
game visible Slowly and gradually it
progressed. though every effort was made
to check it. Yesterday Sauvinet, who
had thus far chung to the hope that bis
son might recover, commenced TO lose
that hope, and, accompanied by the
youth, called on DIR. Kopdanez, the family
physician. After conversing with the
physician, he said to him: Doctor, is my
son going to dieg If he does, all that re
paxins for me to do is to throw myself in
Fhe river. I cannot see him die. DR..
replied that the youth was
beffer. but Sauyinet said that all doctors
aid chat. and added, /" What can / do if |

A WORD About Marriage.

A physician writes the following sen
sible advice: "My profession has
thrown me among women of all classes,
and my experience teaches me that God
never never gave man greater proof of
his love than to place woman here with
him. My advice is Go, propose to the
most sensible girl you know. If she
says yes, tell her how much your income
is, from what source derived, and tell her
you will divide your last shilling with
her, and love her with all your heart in
the bargain. And then keep your
promise. My word ford it, she will live
within your income, and to your last
hour you will regret that you didn't mar
ry sooner. Gentlemen, don't worry
about feminine extravaganza and femi-
nine untruth. Just you be true to her,
love her sincerely. and throw it up to
her frequently, and more fond, faith
full, foolish slave you will never meet
anywhere. You won't deserve her, |
know; but she will never see it. Now,
throw away pride and selfshness, and
see what will come Of it,"

The Farmers Front Yard

Most farmers, even the poorest of them,
have a desire for trees, plants and
flowers. They enjoy wellkept place.
1t Is very rare thing to find front yard
without some attempt at ornamentatIon.
The shrubs and flower beds and the
grass are often neglected and allowed to
struggle with each other in their own
way. Some work Is occasionally done at
odd intervals. A small pot is dug IN
the grass iOr a single rose-bush, another
for small Spir9a, one for Lilac, an
other, for Peony, and perhaps several
others, two or three feet across for small
beds of flowers. In this manner the
grass plot is broken up and frlttered
away by numerous single plants or small
beds scattered all over the yard. EX-
cept perhaps for few vines, we should
set plants little way from the house.
Besides this, for unprecedented yards BY
farm houses, we suggest plan which,
at q less cost, we think, will make the
yards look better than they now look.
The ground for the lawn should be
nicely graded, and enriched, taking care
in most cases TO preserve the natural
gentle inhalation. In several places
here and there, depending on the size Of
the ground, set flowers or shrubbery III
masses of not less than ten feet IN diane
ter. Plants in small beds cut out of turf
seldom thrive well, because the grass
roots down beneath the plants, often for
three or four feet, robbing them of mois-
ture and nourishment, In the plan
leave clean open spaces free from every
thing but grass. This can be easily
moved several times "a year.
If the land is rich and well graded,
the grass can be easily moved and it will
furnish IA crop which will be handy to
feed the horses or some other stock. Lo-
cate trees and shrubs somewhat with ref
erence to making it easy to NOW the lawn.
The patches or groups of shrubbery
should be often cultivated, at least till
they become well established. A nice
lawn is the most beautiful part Of well
kept front yard.
