A DUEL WITH DRINK.
Each Had Reputation to Sustain and
Each Sustained 1t.

Each Had II Reputation to Sustain and
Each Sustained 1t.
From Philadelphia Press.]
Two men sat down to a small table in
downtown club few evenings since
for purpose. 1t was to decide who
possessed the greatest capacity for white
wine. Each had the reputation, which
he studiously sustained, Of being able to
stand more fermented juice Of the grape
than the other, and their criticisms Of
each other had become 80 unbearable
that interested persons determined by
opposing the boosters to end or mend
their talk. So grand match was ar
ranged.
On the evening before the test friend
of the older contestant, who was prac-
teal joker approached one wine drinker,
and laying one hand conf1dingly on his
shoulders, spoke thus:
"Look here, old man, l speak as q
friend. You've got reputation to sus-
tain tomorrow evening and the other
fellow hasn't. Now as friend, let me
insist that you accept the bottles of wine
|, as judge Of the contest, shall prepare.
They will be filled with water"
A sad look Of hopeless despair passed
over his face. TO drink water even
Enough he won was inglorious; but to
drink wine and perchance lose, that was
infinitely worse. This decision resulted
in an argument that lasted half an hour,
and the wine drinker was then con-
WINGED.
On the eventful night the two men sat
down to the table, six bottles before
them. The younger man was quick to
the fray. the elder despaired when he
tasted the pure unadulterated water. But
he mastered his tastes and drank with a
congueling smile.
When the sixth cork was drawn each
contestant stared at the other. This was
wond arfully conducive to cheerful feel
ing, and so they promptly glared at one
anoths r. That made them rampantly
joyous. Down came one ponderous fist
on the table, and its owner, the elder
man, roared out, "Fool, how can you
win. I'm drinking water
A wan, sweet smile passed over the
face of the younger man, as he family
murmured, $50 am l."

 A very unfortunate, and what came near being fatal accident. happened to James, little son of MT. and Mrs. T. J. Fondren, last Monday. The little fellow was playing in the yard, near where the washerwoman was at work. A kettle of water was sitting near, al- most at boiling heat, and by some means James fell into it backwards. His little back was badly burned and is raw down to his hips. He was res cued in moment. and soothing appli- cations made to the burns, aud is now bundle of bandages. Ills papa tells us he is resting as easy as could be ex- nected under the circumstances, and we hope will soon be out.

HOW EARNED MY DOLLAR.

The supper, social ard entertainment Of
the Baptist ladies was a distinct success
In the first place the supper was excellent;
next it was a perfect avalanche Of soca.
bility, everybody happy aad making Others
so, and the varied telling the tales Of the
earning of the dollar was a constant sur.
prise and enjoyment. The dollars rolledn
(the silver ones) and many who rolled them
told in prose or verse the story Of their
earning. Mrs. Geo. f. Crowell, Mrs j. J,
Estey, Mrs. L. W. Hawley, Mrs. l. 0, ?.
Smith, Mrs. Stoddard, Mrs. Hackley, Ms.
Bassett, Misses Susan and Addie BgeLOT,
Mrs. Spear, Mrs. Holden, Mrs. Jenne Mrs..
HoltOn, Mrs. Parry, Mrs. Els, Mrs. Ab'
bolt, Mrs. Beverage, Miss Coates and
host of others contributed original poems
and prose etfusions which fairly startled
the large audience by their realistic tt
citals. The dollars were earned by taking
''rOomers" at the Valley Fair, raising
chickens, clearing snow, cleaning We;-
bach chimneys, carrying coal, selling Ed!
& Co.'S products, cleaning windows TAX
ing medicine, teaching school, washing
making bonnets, etc. All in all it was
novel and very enjoyable affair and Tie
revelation of poetic ability was astounding
Many of the ladies earned the dollar who
did not tell how it was done.
