pushed His Bullying Opponent.
One way of combating an evil prac
tice is to make it .idiculous. 1t was by
this means that dueling was stopped in
q certain district of kentucky somo 40
years ago. At that time o travelling
preacher named Bowman, n strong, mus
Cular man, was conducting Il series of
religious meetings in Kentucky. At one
Of them we'll known desperate charac
ter created disturbance, and being
publicly rebuked by Bowman sent him
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 to accept the challenge
AS the challenged party, Bowman
had the choice of weapons. He selected
half bushel Of large Irish potatoes and
15 PAGES distant, and that only one po-
tato at time should j. taken from the
measure.
Tho desperate was furious, but Bow
man insisted upon his rights as tho chal-
lenged party and threatened to denounce
tho fellow as u coward if he made fur
ther objections. Seeing no way out of
tho scrape, tho desperate at last consent
ed
The contest took place on the out
skirts of the town, and almost everybody
in tho place turned out to sec the fun.
The seconds arranged the two men in
position, by the side of each being a
half bushel measure filled with good
sized potatoes.
Bowman threw the first one. 1t struck
his opponent in central spot and fell
in pieces. A shout of delight went up
from the crowd which Hurried the des-
perado, and his potato flew wide of the
mark.
Bowman watched his chance, and ev-
cry time his oponent stopped for q po-
, tato another one hit him in the side,
leaving wet spot on his clothes and
then scattering on all sides. Tho fellow
was hit in this way five times. Then
tho sixth potato struck him i'll the short
ribs, and he lay on the grass doubled up
with pain and grooming 'Enough!'
The bystandcrs went wild with de-
light, but Mr. Bowman looked very So
Der The desperate was taken homo
and put to bed, and there he staid for
moro than u week, and when he again
appeared he was greeted with so many
jokes that life was almost burden to
him.
That was the end of dueling in that
region -Family Herald.

Wasted Pity.

She was only a typewriter girl, but she
created quite an excitement in n suburban
car the other day. When she got on the car,
the conductor noticed that her left sleeve
dangled helplessly by her side, so he helped
her on tendery and said to himself, Poor
thingr' The passengers also observed the
empty sleeve and were visibly sympathetic,
one tart looking woman even moving Il
trifie to give the one armed girl seat 1t
was Il very singular thing to see such well
dressed, bright girl with only one arm, and
public curiosity was at a high pitch con
corning the cause of the pathetic empty
sleeve. Finally the afflicted maiden dropped
her purse, and the old gentleman who re
stored it said kindly, My dear, how did
you lose your ARM"
She turned her innocent violet eyes upon
him in evident surprise, and the passengers
all presented their ears, aching to listen
II haven't lost any of my arms" she re
piled. thrusting neatly gloved hand in
sight. II just pulled my hand up into my
sleeve to get it warm"
Then all the passengers looked huffy, and
the conductor murmured: Gee whiz!

ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
Another Witness Testifies to the Duplicity
of Carnegie Officials.

WASHINGTON, Juno 23.-Charles ii.
Craig of Edgewood Park, Pa, was before
the congressional committee Investigating
armor plate frauds. Craig was associated
with c. K. Sill in giving the main infor-
nation of Irregularities at the Carnegie
works. Craig's evidence was much like
that recently given by Sill and corrobora-
tive of it. Craig gave from his notebook
a list of armor plate which had been doc
tored after they had boon turned over to
the government as test plates, He gave
details of the rotreatmont of each plato.
Many of them were reiterated after the
government had rejected them Craig
testified that he had been instructed by
Superintendent Cline to burn the original
records showing the real work done. Craig
said that while assistant heater he obscrv
ed much surreptitiOus work on plates.
He gave the technical details ii these ir-
Irregularities. This was do. q without tho
knowledge of the government officers and
was to deceive them. The capacity of tho
Carnegie works was not sufficient to do
the work properly. He had heard Clino
complain to Assistant Manager Hunsikor
that more furnaces We're necessary. Mr..
Craig identified u number of alterations

~ HAT can't be cured must be en-
lred." is homely adage that is about all
the consolation that the average democrat
can get out of the delay in the senate in
passing tbs tariff bill. Senator Harris, as
the democratic leader, has done all that
one man can do. and he has been ably
supported by some of the democratic SEN
ators. but, unfortunately, not by all, and
the margin is too small to force anything
without united support. Some of the
democratic senators seem to have an idea
that when they pledged their votes to the
bill they had performd their whole duty;
"a consequence. here's another whole
week gone and the final vote is not in
sight, although it is difficult see what ex-
c1se the republicans will have for prolong-
log the agony longer than next week.

Lip Reading.
It is marvellous to see the perfection
which some people who have become
deaf in middle life attain in lip read
ing. 1t Is something that can be learned
by oneself after the first few lessons
A hand glass is all that is necessary for
the regular study. and every person met
furnishes practice Like oil study, it
requires perseverance, to become an adept,
but the reward Is 50 great in this case
that it Is worth working for even If one
Is not deaf. Soon we may appreciate the
advantages Of being able to speak to
person silently and from Q distance and
to receive what il said to us without
depending Oh tho easily confused ear.
Soon lip reading may become a fad. and
any one who wishes to be accomplished
in this way while II is o rarity would
better begin at once. Parents with chill
dren of defective hearing are almost in
exousable If they neglect having such
children taught lip reading while IL is
easily learned. Newport News
