A Fight on Paper.

Absence OF body is often quite AS
good as presence of mind. In the case
of two very angry men it is usually the
only safe thing. An article in St.
Petersburg newspaper, the Weldon
mosti, not long ago, created great
wrath in Germany, and fierce letters
were hurled at tho editor from
all parts of the empire. One of these,
which may serve as a specimen, has
been made public by its recipient, as
we'll as the reply which it elected from
him
"Berlin, 30hh October.
1t is lucky for you, sir, that you re-
side in city far distant from Berlin,
otherwise would punish you in q
highly exemplary manner for your
abomlnable article upon German
women.

The Russian feuilletonist, however
deficient he may be in good taste, Is
certainly very funny person, as the
following answer to the above con-
vincingly demonstrates:
