A Detroitcr who put in part of the
winter in u Tennessee town made o
number of friends, among whom was o
gentleman called Colonel and another
known as Judge. Both were recent ar
rivals in the place, and no one knew
just how they came by their titles or by
what right they wore them. The Col
onel and the Judge were good friends
for awhile, but ut length they had Q
falling out over politics aud the lie wa,
passed. This brought challenge.
which was duly accepted. In thu
course of q couple of hours the Colone
called on the Detroiter and said:
"The Judge is good fellow at heart
and hate to kill him. Maybe you had
best go quietly to tho Sheriff, and b.,
will appear on the ground in the morn

The Colonel had scarcely disappeared
when the Judge came in and said:
