How a japanese Cadet Settled with IN
UuprincipIsd Rival.

How = japanese Cadet Settled with an
UnprincipIsd Rival.
In the Naval academy at Annapolis is
the son Of wealthy and honored Japan
ese, who is taking a course Of training
preparatory to entering the mikado's
navy. This cadet has an enemy, another
Jap, who is living in Washington. 1t is
said that in a three cornered Irritation
between these youths and beautiful
maiden who resides in Toxic the naval
cadet came out victorious. Unable to
control himself, the vanquished rival at
last took refuge in that meanest Of war
fare, the telling Of tales. He wrote to
his friends in Japan that the cadet was a
bad man, describing his faults, and made
the poor fellow appear heartless ogre.
These tales finally reached the ears Of
the girl, who said she didn't believe them.
Then she sat down and wrote her cadet
loyer all she had heard. In due time her
tear stained missive reached Annapolis,
and since then--a month ago-the ma
ligned Jap has eaten beef by the pound
and given himself up to swinging Indian
clubs, sparring and practicing the broad
sword exercises.
A week since ne found himself devoid
of an ounce of superfious flesh and
thirsting for gore. During all this time
he had been careful to continue friendly
with his rival, and few nights ago in
vited the latter up to his room. WHen
they got there the cadet locked the door,
tied the key to his belt, closed the win
dows, cleared the room of bric-a-brac, and
piled chairs, tables, etc., on his bed.
Then he stripped, telling the other to do
the same and prepare to receive the most
awful thrashing on record since David
slew Goliah.
A minute later the cadet seized his rival
by the throat and slammed him against
the wall. When the slanderer crawled
to his feet he was promptly knocked
through the glass doors of a bookcase
Ten seconds later he was whirling about
that room like a crazy cyclone. Wher
the cadet was tired he washed himself
put on his clothing, and told the othel
that he would be back in five minutes
with witnesses to hear an apology. Ther
he went out, locking the door after him
But while he was absent the tale bearer
tore down the curtains, made a life lin,
of them, and swung out of the window
dropping to the ground. He did no
dare go to Washington alone for fear h
should meet the cadet, so he paid po
liceman to accompany him thither. o.
the way they did meet the cadet and hi
friends, and an apology was voluntaril.

Mr.. Wilson Gardner, Of Springfield,
Mass, is credited with a feat of offhand
shooting with the revolver that has set
the cracks Of this town talking. He is
reported to have fired ten shots from o

revolver at target two inches in diam
eter, placed twelve feet from him. and
to have put every one of the bullets
plump in the bulls eye. The diameter
Of the bulls eye was 21-S2 Of an inch. A
fac simile of this target reached town,
and greatly excited New York cracks
and the shooting world generally. II
is unprecedented craftsmanship. Mr..
Conlin and a lot of veterans have
offered rich prizes II Mr.. Gardner will
come to New York and duplicate the su
perb target. Wilson's score was 12O
which means absolutely aawless work.
It knocks George Birds star scort

done at the Paris exposition's revolver

A New Branoh Of Roguery.

"Muzzle stealing" has become regu-
larly established branch of roguery in
Great Britain since the PRONUNCIATION of
the recent ordinance compelling all dogs
to go muzzled. The worst of the matter
is that dogs, being delighted to get rid of
their muzzles, aid and abet the thieves
in the preparation of the robbery. Dog
owners are in despair and plaintively In
quirei in dog Latin: Souls custodier ipsos
custodes?" The only suggestion to be Of
fered in response thereto is that since the
law requires dogs to wear muzzles all the
time, person should be appointed to at
tend each dog and prevent its muzzle
from being stolen. York Tribune.

A Big Paper Contract.

One of the largest contracts for fur
nishing paper for the use of the census
Office is the one for MANILA tabulating
cards. The number of cards that will
be used is estimated to be 100000, 900,
and it is said that it will require 260 tons
of MANILA paper to furnish these cards.
Under a former contract 20,000,0 900
sheets for the population schedule will
be furnished, which is said to be the
largest single order for writing paper
ever given. No single mill in this coun-
try could meet the demand, and the or

largest paper mills in the country. Al
ready orders have been sent out for IA,

An Elephants Venerable Age,

The journals of Ceylon have recently
mentioned the denth of an elephant that
was well known on the island, and had
been seen by several generations of En-
glishmen. He was called Sello, and had
belonged to the last of the kings of Handy.
He was one of the hundred elephants
that was taken by the English govern
ment in 1915, when the Kandyan dynasty
was overthrown. At this epoch the ele-
phant was said to be 15 years old. If
this is correct, he died natural death
at the age of so years.-Bosten Budget.

Death Rata Among Old Soldier.

How rapidly the death rate among the
old soldiers is increasing is shown by the
reports now being received at the Office
of Col. Gray, adjutant of the depart
ment of Wisconsin, G. A. R. Thus far
100 out of 26S posts have reported, and
the death list numbers 1874, whereas the
total number of deaths reported by Wis
consin posts last year was 129. This
made death rate of ii per 1000, but if
the 100 posts yet to be heard from show
the same proportionate mortality as those
that have already reported the rate for
1889 will not be far from 90 per 1000.

A London beautifer has invented a
new face powder, warranted not to rub
off. Powder puffs need no longer be
carried about in mysterious pockets, as
this powder remains just the same for
quite twelve hours. The hand or arm
that is FURNISHED with it leaves no mark
on black coat sleeve. This ought to be
a great relief to the minds of senti-
mental young couples. A face powder
that tells no tales is as great a boon in its
way as gunpowder that makes no noise.
