Sam HOustOn's Duel.

A correspondent of the Bowling
Green (Ky) Llteliig unearths an
old man of the vicinity who remembers
all about "the sensation of the year
1926" the old man being one of the
participants in the duel that caused the
sensation. To settle spat that come
of hot blood Gen. Sam Houston, then
member of Congress from Tennessee,
an. Gen. White. OF Nashville, agreed
that on "Sept. %, 1926" they would
fight a duel on the Tennessee line;
time, sunrise; distance, fifteen feet;
weapons, holster pistols" Houston got
out of bed at 3 40 q. m. on the Odd, and,
sitting in his night clothes, nodded two
bullets. AS the first fell from the
mold dog named Seen. Jackson"
raised triumphant howl under the
window. When the second bullet
dropped game cock crowed long and
loud from neighboring tree. Houston,
who was superstitious, cut the figure of
n dog on QUE bullet, and that of cock
on the other. The principals stood at
their posts on the second and to the
inch. Whites lead cut q whistle
through the sharp air, but Houston
stood nnhurt. At the same instant the
bullet with the dog mark passed clean
through Whites body, SO that q silk
handkerchief was drawn from one side to
the other. After the duel Houston select
ed as his coat Of arms the famous
chicken cock and dog"

Reading without Thinking.

We quite understand the ambition of
men engaged in intellectual pursuits to
keep up with the worlds thought"
But it is this effort that fills all the pro-
fessions with crammed men, and leaves
them scant of thinkers. Baiing the
ocean with dipper is a work for those
only who do not realize the shortness
of time and the greatness of the task.
There is so little ultimate truth in the
world; science is pulling up her stakes
and setting them forward SO frequent
ly; religion herself is changing her
lines so much on everything save few
great facts, that not half so much would
be lost as the average student now
pressed and puzzled on all sides would
thinkif he should intermit his battling
pursuit of knowledge for few years.
and go to using what wisdom he has,
The daily press will keep a man from
getting rusty. A few of our classics =
including first the chief classic of ALL
the Bible-will give him food and slim
ulant enough; and nature and his own
heart will give him the best themes and
thoughts.-Goldea Rule.

Senator ChandIer's Will.

After the death of Senator Chandler
no will could be found among his
papers, and the family reached the con-
clusion that he had left none. But
after the death of Judge Edmunds, at
Washington, an overhauling of his
papers brought to light will made by
Mr.. Chandler in 1866. It. was sent on to
Detroit and was filed for probate. 1t
is very brief document, upon one
side of single half-sheet of legal-cap
paper, and reads as follows:
j, Zachariah Chandler OF Detroit, in the
county of Wayne and State of Michigan, do
make and publish this, my last will and tesla
ment: tf

ttia Grace Chandler, and to my daughter, Mary
Douglass Chandler, all the estate, real and per-
sonal, of which may be seized or possessed,
or to which shall be entitled at the time Of my
decease, and all my property Of every name
and nature whatever, to be equally divided be-
tween them, share and share alike.
And / hereby appoint Charles Ducharme,
Allan Sheldon. and George Jerome, of said De-
troit executors Of tins my will and testament.
In testimony whereof / have hereunto set

Ter, as and for his last will and testament, and
declared by him to be such on the day and

in the presence of each other, have hereunto

TennysOn and Victoria.

Speaking of Tennyson's hospitality.
a recent anecdote runs thus: Her
Majesty, the Queen, announced it to be
her good pleasure to honor her poet
laureate with a visit. Unfortunately,
she did not say precisely what day she
would arrive. In duty bound, the
whole family was put into its best "bib
and tucker" The children agonized in
their best rig, and were vigorously
"pent" indoors. Mrs. Tennyson was
bedecked with her state raiment, and
the great author himself was gotten up
to perfection, and in the latest inven-
ton of his tailor. Four or five days
went by in the same atmosphere of ex-
pectation and grandeur, but no royal
guests came driving up. At last it be-
came unbearsble. Ordinary manners
were proclaimed; everybody sighed
with relief and flung aside too violent
etiquette with too belaced and berib-
boned attire. The children resumed their
intimacies with mud-pies and rocking
horSes. Mrs. Tennyson began to enjoy
a novel and wrapper, and, casting
aside romance, Mr.. Tennyson took up
~ OC8oI WCColhS lid BuIucu,
and, with glowing cheeks and animated
eyes, tried ito make two blades of grass
grow where before there was only one"
OF course, when everything was jogging
along in this cozy and homelike way,
the Queen and her escort arrived. AT
first there was general futter of fright
and excitement. Everybody was en-
barrassed and i'll at ease. But the grand
old fellow, coming up to the house with
soiled hands and sweatdrops on his
lofty brow, made it all right in a few
words. my sovereign. we expected
you for several days, and were prepared
to receive you as should become those
who are honored by their Queen; but
to-day we did not know OF your inten-
ton, and are therefore only so far pre-
pared as loyalty and love can make u.s."
1t is needless to say that the visit was a
very friendly and pleasant affair, and,
we doubt not, far better enjoyed by so
sensible woman as Queen Victoria
than it would have been had it been at
tended with courtly formality and state.

A MAN had tooth extracted by a
Chicago dentist, and expressed regret
for the loss. A girl whose jaws were
overcrowded with teeth entered the
Office to have two of them taken out.
The dentist suggested the experiment
of transferring some of these sound
teeth to the vacancy in the mans
mouth, and the operation was performed
with success, the tooth growing fast and
firm in ten days.

The Greatest Attraction.

A young man took his sweetheart to
the exposition with celd-blooded de-
termination. He showed her the dog
show.
"This," said he. "is one of the best
things in the exposition"
He conducted her to the place where
beautiful Borneo Apollos hold forth.
"This," said he, "is one of the sights
here which is very interesting"
He then explained the two great en-
gines seen in the industrial part of the
building.
He showed her the art gallery and
that pretty picture in the press-room
which is called, Farewell to the For
est" and which every lady who sees
wishes to carry off.
This picture" he explained. "exhib-
its gem of female loneliness, and few
things could be prettier. The greatest
attraction have reserved to the last.
1t is by far the most unique in the
building" The young lady became very
much interested as he led her upstairs
and expatiated on the beauties of an
unknown object.
Soon they stood before the large mir
ror he paused, and so did she. Then,
with a cold-blooded determination
worthy Of o better cause. he pointed in
to the mirror at the young lady's re-
Fiction, and said: "That, 1 think, is

her bushes, "that one glass should
mirror both the greatest and the least
attraction at the same time."-Louis-

Close Quarters with an Alligator.

While William p. Neeld was walking
in the woods of Hillsboro county, Fla,
he heard the roaring of an alligator
and the scream of lady. He ran out
to the highway, and saw nine-foot
saurian, raised on its legs, muttering at
lady and her children. The reptile
stood where the road crossed small
drain which ran from lake into the
Gulf of Mexico. Having no weapon but
pocket knife, Mr.. Neeld provided him.

thick as his wrist. On his approach
the alligator showed fight. The man
rounded it, so as to avoid blow from
its tail, and struck il blow over the
eyes. The reptile closed its eyes,
and Mr.. Neeld drove the blade of

The man gave it another lick over the

Rural Population OF Germany.

The rural districts throughout Ger
many, says the London Raslway NeUs,
are in a most deplorable state Of pow
erty. The peasantry and the majority
of small farmers cannot subsist even
with abundant harvests. The small
provincial towns are in no better condi-
ton. All this distress is put down to
depressed state of trade, but the real
cause must be looked for elsewhere. 1t
is the outcome. as il were. of psyche
logical causes which have, cropped out
OF the war and the dishenrtening con-
sequences connected Herewith. The
Germans, who, formerly, have borne 80
we'll the reputation of possessing q
mild and meditstive character, seem to
have lost these qualities since the
French war. Hence the existing dis
content. A statistical paper in Ger
many has lately shown that Francs
with population of $4,000, 0OO inhabi-
tants, has upward OF 10000, 900 acres
Of land under cultivation, while Ger
many, with an aggregate of 100000
inhabitants, can boast only of having
5000, 900 acres under cultivation.

/" AmaZing Grace"

The following, says Harper's Maya
zine, is vouched for by one of the most
reliable of Philadelphia divines:
A young clergyman, having agreed to
supply the pulpit of an older brother
absent from home, escorted to church
the daughter of the pastor, and, after
seeing her safely in her fathers pew,
assembled to the pulpit, unconscious
that this natural attention to the young
lady was sufficient to excite lively i'm
aginstions and inquiries in the au-
dience. df4 s! Aa sh
Upon reading the hymn to be sung,
the young clergyman was surprised to
perceive evident efforts In the congre-
cation to suppress laughter. The
daughter of his friend possessed the
mellihuous name Of Grace, and, oil un-
suspicious of that fact, he had chosen
the hymn beginning with the words
Amazing grace" and proceeding with
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour fret believed
Through many dangers, tolls and snAres
have already como;
Ills grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home!

The Montenegrins are keeping up
their reputation as almost invincible
fighters. A collision was forced upon
them by force of Albanians number

allotted to them in the readjustment Of
affairs under the Berlin treaty. The
Montenegrins we're under orders to avoid

Quartermaster Generals Report.

Among the many annual reports is
sued by State officers is that of Brig.
Gen. SAVERS, Quartermaster General
of the State. 1t contains tables show
ing receipts and expenditures for the
past year; also, the amount and kind
OF equipage on hand and its condition.
The military departments have received
from all channels during the year, $43,-
654.6S, and expended $36, 885.71, leaving
balance unexpended of $6,76S.97.
Among the recommendations of the
General are the following:
Frequent acquisitions are made on
me for overcoats during the winter
season, and where there seems to be
great necessity for them have supplied
the companies temporarily with them.
This method keeps thu overcoats NOV
ing from point to point, often very hur-
riedly, leaving no time for properly un-
packing. cleaning and drying them
after being used in storms. The result
is that overcoats are being rapidly worn
out by constant usage and inability to
take proper care of them. / believe it
would be more economical to the State,
and much moro satisfactory to the
troops, if full supply of overcoats was
purchased and issued to the men. The
overcoats could be kept in the armories
with the uniform coats, and, with proper
care, could be made to last long term
of years. The men would then be
equipped for service at any time OF
year. ,,..
Cooked rations have heretofore been
served in this State, for the reason that
our camps of instruction have been held
for period of only five days, and it has
been thought more progress could be
made in drill and discipline by giving
their whole time and attention to that
direction. / would respectfully recon-
mend that before another encampment
is ordered something definite be estab-
ished as to what shall constitute q
ration in this State; that the same be
published to all the companies in the
State, and that such rations as may be
decided upon be issued in bulk by the
regimental Quartermaster to the com
mandants of companies in each com.
mand. Commandments of companies
can see to the proper distribution oil
the rations, and the men will then have
a fair opportunity of trying their skill

THERE was a disgraceful prize fight

THERE was disgraceful prize fight
in st. Louis between q man and q
dog. Among the spectators were three
members of the Common Council, an
ex.Judge, a leading physician, and
many merchants. The stake was $3.50,
and there was a great deal of betting.
The man WAS Patsey Brennan, q dis
reputable pugilist, and the dog was a
ferocious hound, trained to fight.
Patsey was stripped to the waist, and
had no weapons. The struggle was
brief, and the dog was pounded and
choked to death, but not before the man
was very seriously bitten.
