A Fight Of Long AGO.

The mos t exciting event in the life
of Alexander H. Stephens was his
desperate encounter with Judge
Crone in 194S. The young Georgian
had given oftense to some Of his con-
stituents by his course in congress
and he was severely criticized. When
he came home he was told hatJudge
Cone had called him a traitor. Ste
phen met him soon after, and said:
"Judge Cone, have been told that
you have denounced me as traitor,
and take this opportunity OF ask
ing you if such reports are true?"
''No, sir" said Cone, "they are
not" ,-.--
Mr.. Stephens said he was glad to
hear it, and added: IL think it
right to tell you that I have said
would slap your face if you admitted
having used the language attributed
to you"
The quarrel seemed to end here.
but Judge Cone was haunted by his
enemies with having shown the
white feather and he finally deter
mined to have it out with Stephens.
Meeting the latter one day on a
hotel piazza in Atlanta he de-
manded a retraction of the
Threats" Stephens had made
against him. Judge Cone was a
giant in size: but the frail man whom
he addressed replied politely that he
had no retractions to make. "Then
/ denounce you as a miserable little
traitor!" shouted the Judge. The
only reply was a blow in his face from
a light cane carried by the man he
had insulted. Mad with pain and
passion, Cone drew dirk-knif and
rushed upon his little adversary.
Stephens defended himself stoutly
with an umbrella. but in the course
of few minutes had received 1S
wounds in various parts of his BODY.
and, growing faint from loss ofblood,
fell. Cone seized him by the throat
with one hand, held the dripping
knife over him with the other and
Kissed: "Retract, or I'll cut your
cursed throat!"
"Cut! I'll never retractl' gasped
Stephens.
The knife came down like a flash,
but Stephens caught the blade in his
right hand, and though Cone did his
best to wrest it from him, and though
the sharp steel cut to the bone, he
would not let go. He held the weap-
on in his horribly mangled and mutt
lated hand until help came and Cone
was secured. 1t was thought Ste
phens would die from his Wounds, but
!. by good medical care he was saved
Cone escaped with a fine Of 81 ,OOO.~-

table.
A Surprised Pawnbroker,

A Nevada miner whose name was
Gray, and who was a generous, inno-
cent fellow, singularly careless about
personal adornments, was Captured
one day by a pawnbroker and taken
into his store. The man of pledges
showed him a genuine" diamond
ring, and finally persuaded him to buy
it for $3.50. Gray was rather proud
OF his ring and was showing it off. The
pawnbroker, who loved a joke and
knew that Grey would take one good
naturally, called him to his store and
said:
"My friend, that is paste, and not a
real diamond" Gray laughed and re-
piled: ~
"Well, no one will be the wiser, eh?''
Then he walked over to ieweler and
had $3.50 diamond set in the same
ring, paying 500 for it's use. He then
visited the pawnbroker and said;
"Look here, I'll bet you 5000 that
stone is a genuine diamond" The
pawnbroker examined the stone and
took the wager. Then they both went
to the jeweler, who pronounced it a
diamond and the pawnbroker was out
5000. He was surprised. Grey then
had the paste stone restored. The
pawnbroker accosted Grey few days
afterward and said he would give him
$10o for the ring. Grey demanded
and received $3.50. In the course Of a
week he called on the purchaser and
said he would bet 5000 the diamond
was paste. The pawnbroker accepted
the challenge and the same jeweler
pronounced it paste.
GOOD God!" the pawnbroker yelled,
"when you have the ring it's a dia.

Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter things
Somewhere in the sun-hright land;
But thank the Lord for His blessings,
And the clasp of q little hand.
A little hand that softly stole
Into my own that day,
When l needed the touch that l loved so much
To strengthen me on my way.
Softer it seemed than the softest down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
But it's timid press and it's faint caress
Were strong in the strength OF love!
1t seemed to say in strange, sweet way:
