A OUeer DueI,

Old Col. S., of Wisconsin, was an
odd genius, queer compound of comic SER
iousness. Replete with Jokes, both original
and selected, he was not slow in hashing them
up and dealing them out in small doses
to different customers on different occasions.
One evening, at a party, a young gentle
man, upon whom the colonel had told some
joke, feeling himself insulted, challenged the
colonel 10 mortal combat.
The challenge was accepted.
Having a choice of weapons and the ap-
pointing of the place of meeting, the colonel
told the young man to repair, the following
morning at six o'clock to a certain spot, and
added that he would see that the weapons
were there"
The following morning, at the indicated
time, the young man repaired to the indicated
spot-said spot being among the lead mines,
was naturally furrowed with mineral holes.
"Well, youngster," said the colonel, stick
ing his hands in his pockets, and ejecting a
superfuous quantity of tobacco juice from
his capacious mouth, "are you ready?"
Receiving an affirmative answer he
continued
"Here's where we are to fight" indicating
mineral shaft near by, which was at least
sixty feet Deep land here's our weapons
pointing to pile of rocks. you're to go
down that ere hole and throw rocks up, and
I'm to stay up and throw rocks down"
1t is needless to add that the challenge was
withdrawn.

A Good Meal.

Charles Dickens used to say that he judged
the quality of housekeepers by the castors on
the table. If the mustard was freshly made,
the vinegar cruet stainless, the silver brilliant,
pected good, clean, well served meal "with
behavior to match" If, on the contrary, the
casters were unclaimed, and out of order, he
knew what he had to expect, and was seldom
disappointed. 1t is, in truth, simple things
that denote quality. The test of good cook
is not the cake she can make, nor the myster-
ious sauces she can concoct, nor the rich pud-
dings she can produce. A good cook is
known by her boiled potatoes, her mutton
chop, her roasted joint. Such plain things
require personal care and judgment, and are
the basis of "a good meal"

How Some Women Play Whist.

Did you ever see woman play whist
No! WE'LL she does it somewhat as follows:
ooh, dear, don't believe can ever get these
cards arranged-Now, let me see, that one
goes there, and--Oh, dear, I've dropped one
on the floor-won't you pick it up ?-Thanks
Now let me see-O Oh, is it my play p
Mercy, I'm sure don't know which one to
play-There, played the wrong one, but
never mind-have ] got to follow suit p
Well, if can't follow suit can trump Oh,
l wish l could have thrown away on that
trick-could l? Oh, Pm so sorry-Now,
how stupid | was / didn't see it was INV
partners ace when l trumped, but never
mind" And so it goes on, and at the end of
the game her partner generally has to stand
the ridicule of the other side because he was
so badly beaten.

Choral Hydrate in Neuralgia.

The intimate mixture of equal parts of
chloral hydrate and camphor will, it is said,
produce clear fluid which is of the greatest
value as local application in neuralgia. DR..
Lenox Browne states, in one of the English
medical journals, that he has employed it in
his practice, and induced others to do so, and
that in every case it has afforded great, and
in some instances, instantaneous relief. Its
success, he says, does not appear to be at all
dependent on the nerve affected it being eff
cacous in neuralgia of the sciatica as of the
trigeminus; it is OF the greatest service in
neuralgia of the larynx, and in relieving spas
modic cough of a nervous or hysterica char
acter. 1t is only necessary to paint the mix
ture lightly over the painful part, and allow
1t to dry. 1t never blsters, though it may
occasion tiDgling sensation Of the skin.
For headache it is also found an excellent ap-
plication.

A Panacea for Trouble.

Life is filled with trouble, and we must
shoulder our share with the best grace we
can. We may only seek to make them as
light as we can, since to avoid them is i'm
possible There is one sovereign panacea
Tor this 1t is work Brooding over trouble
is like surrounding ones self with fog 1t
magnifies all objects seen through it. Occu-
patton of the mind prevents this hard work,
manual work even, gives the mind other
matters of concern, tires the body so that
sleep will come Very few suicides occur
when men are actively employed. When out
of work they think of their other troubles,
one throws the mind from lis balance, and
the fatal deed is done. Many man would
have committed suicide if lie had had the
time. Work Of any kind, especially work
for others, is the great panacea for troubled
mind.

Decatur and His Bet.

The following anecdote of Commodore
Decatur was told at a recent meeting of the
Sons of Veterans of 1912: Decatur, COM
manding the frigate United States, while
stationed at Gibraltar before the war of 1872
became acquainted with Captain Garden, of
the frigate Macedonian. The air was full Of
the coming strife, and the two officers often
discussed the situation: "I'll bet you silk
hat" said Garden one day, "that if we ever
come into action together I'll take your ship"
Decatur took the bet. They did meet not
long after war was declared, and after hard
fight the Macedonian struck her colors.--
Garden, much Inundated, presented his
sword to the victor, in the presence of most
of the officers of both vessels. Decatur,
drawing himself up to his full height, said,
in tone loud enough for all to hear "Cap
tain Garden, do not want your sword-but
I'll take that hat"

Gods Care.

There was beautiful engraving on the wall
of the Matterhorn mountain. We were re-
marking that the wondrous works of God
clad mountains, but also in the tiny moses
found in their crevices. A friend present
said: Eyes, was with party at the Matter
horn, and while we were admlring the sub
Unity of the scene, gentleman of the COM
pany produced pocket microscope and hay
ing caught tiny fly, placed it under the
glass. He reminded us that the legs of the
household fly in England were naked, then
called our attention to the legs of this little
fly, which were thickly covered with hair"
thus showing that the same God who made
the lofty mountain rise attended to the COM
fort of the tiniest of creatures, providing socks
and mittens for those whose homes these
mountains were.

Full Particulars.

An old lady had received letter from her
son, a sailor on board merchantmen, which
ran thus:
"Have been driven into the Bay of Fundy,
by pampoose right in the teeth. 1t blowed
great guns, and carried away the bowsprit; u
heavy sea washed over the pinnacle and COM
panion; the captain lost his quadrant, and
couldn't take an observation for fifteen days I;
at last we arrived at Halifax"
The old woman who could not read herself,
got neighbor to repeat it to her three or
our times, until she had got it by heart. She
then sailed out to tell the story
"Oh, my poor son !"
"Why, what's the matter, mother hope
no mischief"
20, thank God, he's safe But he has been
driven into the Bay of Firmament by bam-
boozle right in the teeth. 1t blowed guns,
and they carried away the pulpit a heavy
sea washed overheard the pinnacle of the tab.
ernacie the captain lost his conjuration, and
couldn't get any salvation for fifteen days at
last they arrived at Hallelujah."
La, bless us what wonder they wasn't
beat to atoms. Well, wouldn't be sailor"

counterfeits and limitations, it was difficult to

now been remedied; imitators have been ex-

THE SURPRISE.

Joy met Sorrow in place
Where the branches interlace
Very secret, still and sweet,
Safe from all profauing feet.
"Wby art here?" JOY, startled, cried;
why art here ?" gray Sorrow sighed.
II came here to weep" said Joy.
''Tears are ever my employ"
Murmured Sorrow, yet see
Tears as grateful were to thee.
Come, young novice, and be taught
How to ease thy heart o'erfraught."
Joy sat down at Sorrows feet,
And was taught lesson sweet.
Fain would he make kind return
Sorrow, art!too old to learnp
Nay? Then tarry yet awhile,l
TIL I've taught thee how to SMILE"
Since that hour the two have been
Bound as by mysterious kim
Since that hour they so exchange
Tears and smiles, tits nothing strange
If sometimes puzzled heart
Scarce can tell the twain apart.

Municipal Matters Opening Out Little

Municipal Matters.

Things municipal are still pretty quiet, but
some new men are coming to the front
However, nothing will be determined until
after the caucus meetings by the different
parties. For aldermen the Democrats hold
theirs on next Saturday evening in the diff
ferent wards, and on Monday evening they
hold general meeting at the city hall for
nominating a mayor and treasurer. Mayor
Mathews, on being interviewed, said he did
not wish the position, as he had had it two
terms already and he was not in favor of a
third term. But at the same time he was in
the hands of his friends, yet he would advise
them to choose some one who wanted the
position. Leonard Clark will no doubt have
the nomination for treasurer, as he has
given full satisfaction. He will accept if
nominated. In the First ward there is no
opposition so far to the name of Mr.. John L.
Burke. In the Second ward the names of
Aid. McComb and James Fitzgerald are
mentioned, while in the Third ward John q.
Nelson is said to decline reelection. This
is to be regretted, as he made good alder
man. The name of W. S. Conrad is spoken
OF, and should he accept a nomir alton and
be elected he would make good alderman.
He manages his own business well and would
no doubt do equally as well for the city. The
aspirants for the city clerkship are increasing,
the names of the present incumbent, Mr..
Hopkins, Aid McComb and James G. Foley,
late county auditor, being mentioned in
connection Herewith. For city attorney the
Office does not appear to call for claimant.

of their best and all of their most fashionable
representatives were there. They waited in
their carriages on side streets until the beau
tiful pageant of Momus had passed, and then
they proceeded to the hall, the nominal oc-
cason being the reception of Rex, where PEG
pie from eyerv state In the Union and from
every country under the sun had come to see
them. They were all chaperoned, of course !;
for French and Spanish ideas on the subject
are firmly fixed here. Over q thousand people
stood in the streets to look at the ladies as
they arrived and entered the hail. They be-
gan to arrive about 9 o'clock, and an hour
later there was tremendous Jam of people
at the door, so that the tickle takers were
ompeled for time to refuse admittance to
some of the late arrivals. The capacity of
the hall for dancing is about 2, 600, but the
number of people in the place at one time
was nearly 5000, making it impossible to
form sets. But few of the guests had come
to dance. The native people came chiefly to
be presented to Rex, and the strangers came
for the purpose already mentioned. Some
of the ladies turned away from the place with
out entering at all, rather than have the dis
comfort of being in the great crowd. Amer
can girls, n atives of New Orleans, were there,
of course. and they had pre-eminently the
charm that belongs to Southern women; but
their beauty was the beauty of the individual,
and not like that of the Creoles-the beauty
of class. 1t is because of their attractions
as class that the feminine Creoles are ia
nous. Any one of hundred in the great
assembly might have been selected as type;
and, briefly, their characteristics are dark
brown or black hair, brown eyes, intensely
brilliant, clear, soft, bright complexion
al least in young people, and form which
Thorwaldsen would have chosen above all
others for his Venus. But this is not all =.
They have voices that would make flute
sound harsh, with slight accent something
more than agreeable to persons living farther
North. And in conduct, although as gentle
as the breeze from the gulf, they have latent
spirit which, when occasion requires, trans
forms them into heroines. They appeared
like this to the stranger at the reception that
night, but they are seen at their best in their
homes, for home means something to them
like strong family ties.
