He got into Fifteenth street car at Gil

look, just trimming over with good humor.
In corner Of the car o young woman was
sitting with baby on her lap. The baby
looked just as happy as the fat man and
laughed and cooed in way that brought
admiring glances from every one else In the
car.
Fatty meant well. His good nature
prompted him to help the baby along and
make 1t still happier. So he smiled at it,
chucked 1t under the chin, clapped his
hands, made faces and in fact did every
thing that the average man thinks will
make an infant laugh
Baby took it all in good part for awhile
and really seemed to enjoy its playmate's
antics. Then it branched out. It grabbed
his watch chain. Mamma said, mo, baby
mustn't" But baby must and would.
Fatty said all right, and the little one
played with the chain for awhile. Then 1t
wanted the watch, and failing to get this
1t made grab for Fatty's whiskers. This
was more than he bargained for.
He changed his seat and looked over at
baby and smilingly said "Boof' Baby
looked sour. Fatty made a face ut it and
said "Boor' once more, at which baby set
up howl, and thereafter pandemonium
reigned In that car. The mother looked at
the cause of it all with cold, vacant stare,
the passengers gazed at him with intense
scorn, and he himself looked sheepishly

bowling continued, suddenly got up from

Dueling is now pretty generally recog
nized as n relic Of barbarism, but perhaps
its most satisfactory form is that, practiced
by some tribes Of western Indians. Quar-
rels are rare in tribe, most OF the fighting
being reserved for outsiders, but when i
feud arises between two braves of the same
tribe all their friends unite to see fair play
The duelists are stripped, and the seconds
toss up piece Of bark. The winner then
seizes piece of hard wood seasoned by
years Of service and stained with the blood
of former duels. With this warclub he hit,
his opponent as hard a blow as his strength
will permit. The injured man then pick.
up the club and hits back, and the blows
alternate until one brave or the other has
had enough and declines to pick up the
club again. The punishment Inflicted by
these clubs is frightful, every blow bring
ing blood and causing deep cuts and bruis
