10 the public in the hope that there will be
found IN it due sense OF responsibility and
an earnest purpose to maintain the nation
al honor aud to promote the happiness and
prosperity of all our people. Aud this brief
exhibit OF tho growth and prosperity OF the
country will give US a level from which to
note the increase of decadence that new
legislative policies may bring to US. There
is no reason why the national influence,
power and prosperity should not observe
the same rates OF increase that have char
acterlzsd the past 50 years. We carry the
great impulse and Iuorease of these years
into she future There is no reason why
in many lines OF production We should not

done in some. There are no near frontiers

TWO GIRLS FIGHT A DUEL.
1t was Instigated by a Cowboy, Whose
Attentions Both Sought.

HUNNEwELL. Kansas, Jan. PA
man Just in from the southwestern
part of the Cherokee Strip tells a re-
markable story Of a duel between two
girls, which he says took place at a
little settlement in the northwestern
part of Texas, just south of the line of
No Mans Land. The two girls had at
one time been warm friends and lived
together on a claim which had been
taken up by one of them. Their house
was built on the line between two
claims, and the girls were thus com
plying with the law and improving
two homeste ads at the same time.
All went well with them for some
time, but at last there came between
them a GOODNESS, which arose over the
attentions of a bright young cowboy,
whose manner so impressed both of the
girls that they desired to have him paw
his attentions individually and not col
l~ectlvely.
Matters grew from bad to worse, and
it did not take long for the young fell
low to find out how matters stood. AS
he did not particularly care for either
girl, but went to see them purely for a

came bitter enemies.
Things got to such a pitch that at
last the girls had an open rupture and
according to the code of the country
they agreed to fight a duel with re-
volvers. Both girls were good shots
and the matter looked serious, but the
seconds took matters in hand and
arranged that the pistols should have
blank cartridges The girls were to
walk ten PAGES from back to back and
then turn and fire until their pistols
were empty or until one fell.
Everything came off according to
programme, and the girls each fired
six shots, the last being at a distance
OF only a few feet. They then realized
what had been done to the pistols, and,
dropping the weapons, rushed at each
other and INDUCED in a hair pulling
match, which was so severe that their
friends were compelled to part them.
When they found that the young man
had instigated the duel they both
turned upon him and gave him a beat
ing and then became fast friends again.
