The Office BOYS Excuse.

There is an Office boy who caused a
great deal of trouble for the correspond
ing secretary of a woman's club. The
lady felt sure she should make some
mistakes at first in the performance of
the duties of her new position, but was
totally unprepared for the avalanche of
criticism, circumstances and fault find
ing which overwhelmed her after the
first meeting for which she sent out the
call.
Hardly anybody, it seemed, had re-
ceived a notification, and twenty-five or
thirty of the $50 members had not even
heard there was to be a meeting. The
corresponding secretary interviewed her
husbands office boy, to whom had been
given the list of members, the circulars
and other requisite stationery, with Or
ders to address the envelopes and mail
them as promptly as possible.
ibid you fold the circulars and put
them In the envelope?"
"Yes'm."
"And direct the envelopes and stamp
them and mail them?"
"Yes'm."
did you do it promptlyr
"Yes'm."
"Then how do you suppose so many
OF the ladies failed to receive their cir
culars?"
"Oh, the envelopes didn't hold out to
go around, replied the boy innocently.

An Extraordinary Duel.

One of the most remarkable duels ever
fought, perhaps, took place in 1903 be-
tween two Frenchmen. OF course the
quarrel arose about lady-a certain
Mile. Tirevet-who, it appears, was un-
able to decide ON which Of the two she
preferred. She finally found a way out
OF the difficulty by promising to marry
whichever Of them worsted the other.
They thought over the matter in calm
and Judicial spirit for a month, and at
the end decided to fight a duel in the
air. Accordingly two balloons were
made exactly alike, and upon the ap-
pointed day each scared aloft, accom-
panied by his second.
They were each armed with a blum
derbuss, the agreement being that they
were to fire, not at each other, but at
the balloons. They arose to the height
OF half a mile, and then the preconcat-
ed signal was given. One fred and
missed; the other followed suit with
more disastrous effect. He hit his op-
ponent's balloon, which instantly COL
lapsed, with the result that the occu-
pants of the car were dashed to the
earth with frightful rapidty and in
sH.ntly hlled.-S. Louis Republic.

too widely diversified interests to give
attention to the details Of newspaper
work or technical journalistic work.
The officers of the new club are appoint

being styled president, secretary, etc.,
after the ordinary approved club style,
they take the names and Offices of edito-
