The Baby gnst sneakea In.


Three-year-old Frank is a beautiful,
bright little fellow, the only child in
the family until few days since, and
petted much more than is for his
good. Last week a little sister WAS
born, and Frank was sent to the Hoi-
lenden to remain with his grand
mother for a few days. Franks nose
was decidedly out of joint. He was
sure that the dreadful baby was en-
tirely to blame for his first Danish
ment from home, and he could not
like her even a little bit. A morning
or two after his coming to the hotel a
lady who understood just how he felt
happened to meet Frank and his
grandmother in the hall and accosted
him with:-'What's happened up at
your house, anyway, Frankg'
In an instant the sunny little face
was angry and flushed.

voice expressing how hrrt he felt at
the little strangers intrusion.

other way to settle dispute than by combat
Hence he naturally came to consider it an
appeal to the decision of his diety. This
gave it sacred character which was en-
grated upon the Romans. During the Mid
die Ages duels, which had become very COM
mon, were approved by jurists and clergy
men as a means of the trial Of case between
two persons. But they became so prevalent
that the church was soon obliged to interfere.
By the truce Of God of 1911, duels were
forbidden between Wednesday and Monday,
the days intervening being sacred to Christ's
passion. Louis TX attempted TO restrain
dueling, and Philip the Fair framed laws
against it; but soou after permitted it
i'll criminal cases which could be settled in no
other way. The duel, as a judicial ordeal,
lasted till the year 1856, when one Jaques
Legres was accused of n crime. He was
forced to the ordeal of battle, was beaten, adj
judged guilty and hanged. Soon after an
other confessed that he was the real criminal.
This set the rude people of those days to
thinking, and resulted in the abolition of such
absurd appeals to heaven, and the judicial
ordeal was abolished.
From this time the duel lost its sacred
character. From besg an appeal to the de-
cision of God it became q means of obtaining
satisfaction for an injury, especially for an
insult. Francis l declared that none but "a
base born fellow" would be given the lie with
out satisfaction. This gave the duel great
impetus in France, and thence it spread all
over Europe In France the modern duel
may be said TO have had its origin, and in
France among European nations it is most
prevalent today, the code being recognized
among the highest classes, especially legisla-
tors and journalists.
Americans naturally inherited dueling
from the English 1t was not abolished in
England before the last year of the reign of
George Ill Fox, Sheridan, Pitt, Canning,
Castlereigh, all fought duels. The Duke OF
Wellington fought Lord Winchelsea in
1929; Disraeli challenged Morgan O'Connell
in 1895, and the Earl OF Cardigan fought
Capt. Tuckett in 1910. Among the Irish the
code has found great favor. Grattan, Cur
ran and other eminent ITishmen were duel
lists, and in 1915 Daniel O'Conuell fought
and killed NJ D'Esterre.
There were some duels during the Ameri-
can revolution. Charles Lee fought John
Laurens, and there was duel between
Cadwalader and Conway in IT'S, in which
Conway was hit in the head, but recovered.
One of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence Button Gwinnett WIGS killed in
a duel with Gen. Mcintosh, in May, 1TIT. In
l775 Capt. Gum challenged Cen Greene
twice, but Greene refused to fight He wrote
Washington that if he thought that his per-
sonal honor would suffer from his refusal he
would accept Gums challenge. Washington

MR.. LINCoLY's AFFAIR.

dent jackson, VINO naQ killed DIS man IN 1851

dueling
MR.. LINCOLNS AFFAIR.
Perhaps Mr. Lincoln's affair with Shields
was the last duel fought in America by any
prominent men, though at the time Mr. Lin
coin was unknown without the limits of his
state. The sentiment of the people as well as
the law is now unanimously against the duel.
By the common law when one of the parties
kills the other the slayer and the seconds are
guilty of murder. In some of the American
states the offense is punishable by death; in
others, by imprisonment and forfeiture Of
political rights. In the army and navy the
duelist is liable to be cashiered. In America
the system may be said to be practically
dead. In England very much the same con-
dition exists. In France, while statesmen
fight duels, they fight them rather in defer
ence to an Anticipated inherited custom than
for the purpose of drawing blood. At least
they take care that the least possible amount
shall be drawn. In Germany there is still a
great deal of dueling, and in the southern
European countries.
The Irish seemed to have passion for
dueling, as the English would race horses,
or the Americans become enthusiastic for
baseball. They loved the code as an expert
angler delights in approved methods Of
catching fish, or q whist player in the rules
of that game. Charles Lever draws a char
acteristic picture in one of his novels of an
Irish duelist who was bounded for debt. He
took refuge in country house; the bailiffs
suspected his retreat, but not wishing to
force an entry, and understanding the debt
or's taste for the CODE resorted to ruse.
One morning the duelist arose and looking
out of his window espied couple preparing
to fight with pistols in the yard.
Hold there" he said, throwing up his
sash. That man is placed with the sun
shining directly in his eyes" Whereupon
the bailiffs who were watching stepped for
ward and claimed their prisoner.
During the civil war in America there were
few if any duels. There was enough jeal-
ousy among generals to have caused the kill
! ing of half the men who wore stars on their
shoulders, had the spirit of the early part OF the
century existed; but there was sufficient OPP
portunity for officers to display their courage
| in presence of an enemy without fighting each
| other, and the only notable instance of kill
| ing between officers was the killing OF Gen.
| William Nelson by Gen. JEFF c. Davis, and
| in that case Davis shot Nelson without the
tormality of challenge 1t does not appear
| that dueling was prevalent in the southern
army either.

approved of Greene's course. Henry Clay
and John Randolph fought in 1926. Thomas
Benton killed McLucas. Andrew jackson
was great duelist and was ''out" several
times. He killed Charles Dickinson in a duel,
and at the same time received 4 wound from
which he never entirely recovered. One Of
the singular features of history is that Presi-
dent Jackson, who had killed his man in 1890
afterwards cashiered four naval officers for
dueling.

the party, the duel has raised a discussion re-
garding the rules Of the code as applied to
this particular affair
A gentleman in Savannah, Ca, who is con-
VersaGt with the duello, says that the rules
were violated grossly, while on the other hand
everybody who knows either of the principals
-or their seconds, Capt. Henry jackson and
Mr.. Jack King, claim that these gentlemen
know what they are about in affairs of honor,
ard that the duel as fought was strictly in
accordance with the most approved authori-
Glcs on dueling.
For years Wilson's Code has been the stand
ard in duels. Before the war a gentleman
always carried Wilson's Code when he trav-
eled. He would as soon have thought of
going away without his dress suit in his trunk
IS without his code Generally the little vol
ume was slipped in pocket of the dress coat.

aver, which is like the Texan and his revol-

One Of the most important tenets of the
code is the almost absolute power Of the sec
onds after the challenge has been sent. The

10 the strictest rules of etiquette. The canons
Of the drawing room are no more strict than
are the rules of the duello on this point. The
idea is, of course, to avoid bringing about an
actual meeting, yet to be firm in the demand
for retraction.
After every honorable means is exhausted,
the principals repair to the spot agreed upon,
and the correspondence is continued" The
challenge is sent on the field itself in almost
every case. as it was in this one. Then the
seconds arc absolute, and remain so until the
