c. c. STEVENSON, Republican nominee
for Governor in Nevada, after receiving
the nomination, publicly declared that he
would spend two dollars TO his oppo-
nent's one in the canvass. Although
money is a powerful motive power in
Nevada elections, the purse-proud mil
lionaire candidate will have to put up
thousands TO Adams nothing to give him
an even chance to win the race Two
dollars to one wont prove marker for
Stevenson in this contest.

Henry clay in a pnel

1t may seem curious to many that the
two greatest statesmen Of the first half
Of the nineteenth century should have
been induced to settle personal dificul-
ties by exchanging oartels to fight
duel. On the Virginia banks Of the
Potomac, across from Washington,
Henry Clay, Secretary of State, and
John Randolph, Senator from Virginia,
met in 1926, on account Of political
disagreement. The two names are in
seperable on the pages of American his
tory. They were stanch personal
friends, though bitter political enemies.
On the eve Of the encounter, when told
Of the Inconsistencies Of the meeting Of
the child and wife Of mis- opponent, the
Yirginian replied, with a smile, Il will
do nothing on the morrow to disturb the
reposc or sleep of child or mothern
While arranging the preliminary de-
tails at the scene Of the encounter, and
before Mr.. Clay took his position, the
pistol Of Randolph was ACCIDENTALLY dis

his sense of honor, as he well knew that
it would give rise to unpleasant reports
by his enemies, and his reputation as a
gentleman would be assailed, but Clay
magnanimously came forward and said
that it was an accident When the de-
tails were finally arranged the two prin-
cipals took their positions. There wa.
stump Just behind Clay and a gravel
walk behind Randolph. The seconds
and attendants retired, and the word
given, the reports of pistols sounded
simultaneously and Clay advanced
quickly toward Randolph, exclaiming
a trust in God, my dear sir, you arc
untouched; l would not have harmed
you for a thousand worlds" Randolph
had fired in the air, but Clay's bullet
went through Randolph's coat. "You
owe me coat Mr.. Clay" jocosely re.
marked Randolph, when he saw thu
rent made BY the lullet. 81 am glad
tie debt is no greater" replied Clay
They then shook hands and returned tc

How Languages Are Forme !.

1t has been perpIexity to scholars
how such a vast variety Of languages and
dialects can have originated in our
world, especially if they all grew out Of
one original tongue. Mr. Horatio Hale
says in Science that the perpIexity will
be removed if scholars will look low
enough, and take in children as we'll as
adults. lie gives several striking cases
Of groups of children accustomed to
play with each other, and left mostly to
themselves, who formed languages
which they used with perfect freedom,
and understood with ease, but which
were quite unintelligible to others. If
children could do this in play, it would
be simple matter for adults, placed in
an isolated position, and cut off from
communication with the rest Of the
world, to make new language for
their own benefit Mr.. Hale offers
some substantial arguments to prove
that languages speaking men have not
existed in our world for more than seven
thousand wears. - Touths' Companion.

dent Is reported from Portland which

witnesses in the case, and their tes,;-
mony, aftcr swearing on the Bible to
tell the truth, was SO varied aud con
filctng shat the Justice was dumb

manded that the witnesses take the
Chinese oath.
his Is sort Of ceremony consist
ing OF lighting some tapers, chopping
on chickens head, and going through
some solemn jabbering. 1t is very
old form of oath with them, and com.
mands their respect and fear to a re.
markable degree. Their regard for it
is due to the fact that in China, if a
witness testifes falsely, his head is to
be chopped off like the chickens; and
through centuries and centuries of
custom a respect for it has grown up
that is equal to civilized mans re-
gard for his pledged word
The defendant consented to the
plaintiff S proposition, after some par
leying, and as the Justice would not
allow his court to be transformed into
slaughter-pen, they adjourned to
the josshouse. After all preparations
were completed, the plaintiff went
through the solemn form and ended
by chopping off the chickens head
Then the defendant came forward
but, though he swore point blank in
court against his fellow heather, he
hesitated, then weakened, and looking
toward the plaintiff, said: call light,
me pay"
Hereafter, in Haley, when Judge
or lawyer suspects Mongolian Of
swearing falsely, it will be a gooc
plan to try what virtue there is IN the
Chinese method of making heather
tell the truth.
