licans at Lake Preston have openly left
the party, but that signifies little. AS
the lines says they have been advocat.
ing their doctrine for two years, and this
is but the public announcement OF the
change. Two years ago this same crowd
bolted the republican ticket to a large
extent, and the party has had little con.
hdence in them since. They have dur
ing the past two years been working
hand 10 hand with the independents in
their bl.metallic league, and this court
ship with the Independents has ended as
many expected it would. But please
disabuse your minds Of the idea that
this handful at Lake Preston comprises
the party. The republicans will try to
hold together a little longer. d.

pushed his Bullying Opponent.
One way of combating Al evil prac-
tios is to make 1t ridiculous. It was by
this means that dueling was stopped in
d certain district OF Kentucky some 40
years ago. AT that time q travelling
preacher named Bowman, astrong, mus
cular man. was conducting . series Of
religious meetings in Kentucky. At one
Of them d well known desperate charac
ter created o disturbance, and being
publicly rebuked by Bowman sent him
q challenge TO fight
The preachers first thought was to
treat the matter with silent contempt.
Then he reflected that dueling was all
too common In that region, and he de-
cided 10 accept the challenge.
AS the challenged party, Bowman
had the choice OF weapons. He selected
o half .bushel of large Irish potatoes and
stipulated that his opponent must stand
Is PAGES distant, and that only one po-
tato at a time should be taken from the
measure
The desperate was furious, but Bow
man insisted upon his rights as the chal-
lenged party and threatened TO denounce
the fellow as a coward If he made fur
Their objections Seeing no way out of
the scrape, the desperate at last consent
ed.
The contest took place on the out
skirts of the town, and almost everybody
in the place turned ont to see the fun.
The seconds arranged the two men in
position, by the side Of each being o
half bushel measure filed with good
sized potatoes.
Bowman threw the first one. 1t struck
his opponent in a central spot and fell
In pieces. A shout of delight went mp
from the crowd which Hurried the des-
perado, and his potato few wide of the
mark.
Bowman watched his chance, and ey-
cry time his opponent stopped for . POI
tato another one hit him In the side,
leaving o wet spot ON his clothes and
then scattering ON all sides The fellow
was hit in this way Ave times Then
the sixth potato struck him in the short
ribs, and he lay ON the grass doubled up
with pain and groaning. "Enoughl"
The bystanders went wild with de-
light, but Mr.. Bowman looked very so-
Der. The desperate was taken home
and put 20 bed, and there he staid FOR
more than o week, and when he again
appeared he was greeted with 80 many
jokes that life was almost q burden TO
him. @
That was the end Of dueling in that
region. Family Herald.
