Some people are hard to convince II

Some one tied a dog to August's door
post. He accused Joe, who politely
said ''you lie." "Don't you call me a
liar" "But you are lar" said Joe.
~ never allow any one to call me d
liar" said August. '"But you are a
liar" said Joe. "Come out into the
road aud 1 will wipe the ground with
YOU" said August. Joe followed Aug
ust into the street, when August raised
hoe and said, "nOw don't you dare
call me liar again" Joe promptly
replied "You are liar" "You had
better not say that again" "You are
a liar" said. August threw down the
hoe aud went away saying "that he
didn't allow any one to call him liar. i"
"You are liar" was the last that Aug
ust heard as he disappeared in the dis
tanoe. Moral-It is not always safe to
call person liar; only, sometimes.

TEXAS LAW FOR TEXANS.
How Judge Cnlberson Once Won q Case
That. Seemed Hopeless

How Judge CuIberson Once Won q Case
That, Seemed Hopeless.
Congressman Dave Culberson, as no is
familiarly known in Texas from the Rio
Grande to the Red river, is one of the
most entertaining members of the house.
He is always ready with witty reply
to any law. or political question pro-
pounded to him by his associates and is
the subject Of more stories than any
member of Congress except Thomas B.
Reed.
':In 1850. just after Lincoln had been
elected president, said an old friend Of
Judge Culberson the other day, there
was neighborhood quarrel betweeen
two citizsns il Upshur county, Tex
The southern question was at fever heat,
and the feeling was very strong on both
sides. Each side of the case. of course,
was anxious to get the verdict. The de
fendant went to Jefferson and engaged
Culberson, who was then rising to dis
tinction as bright lawyer. Dawes cli-
ent didn't have any case, the evidence
being all against him; but, true to his
trust, as he always is, Culberson deter
mined to make the best fight he could
for him. When the trial came off, it
turned out that the other fellow had
employed smart young saddlebag law
yer from Maryland, just located in
Texas.
"Culberson had the opening speech
and made good defense for his client
under the circumstances. When the
Marylander replied in behalf of his eli
ent, he produced vast array of author
tiles, from which he read in support of
his case. When the young man closed,
Culberson picked up one of the books
from which the opposing counsel had
been reading and said: IF your hon.
or please, this young brother of the pro-
fession has been reading for your in
struction Massachusetts, law. This book
is printed in Boston. 1t is 'Greenleaf
on Evidence. We don't want Massa-
chusetts law to govern us in Texas. l
have been giving you genuine Texas
law, made by our own people.
"What's that?' asked the judge
sharply, been imposing on the court
with Yankee law?'
"'Yes, sir, your honor, said Culber-
son; he has been reading from this book,
which was printed in Boston, Mass.
"'Pass it over this way, said the sur
prised court, looking at the fly leaf.
Then he said:
"'Mr. Culberson, the court finds that
you arc correct. 1t is Boston print,
and we don't want any of it here. No
abolition law for Upshur county, and
the court will be id if we will have
it.
''To the supreme disgust of the young
lawyer the court continued as follows:
Sir, upon the evidence of the case I
dismiss the suit against Dave Culber-
sons friend and fine the plaintiff 81
and costs and his lawyer So for con-
tempt of court. Now, young man, let
that serve as warning to you how you
try to practice abolition law in this
statep

THE DUELLO IN FRANCE.
Some of the Foolish Customs Now Long
Abolished.

Abolished.
Toward the end Of the sixteenth century,
during the reign of Henry I'LL, the duello
began to conform to established rules.
The foolish custom of seconds engaging In
the quarrels of their principals had been
introduced from Italy. and the single chal-
lenge led occasionally to small battle,
The encounter between Caylus and DEN
tragues, two well-known courtiers, has been
narrated at some length by the chroniclers.
Riberac and Schomberg were seconds to
D'Entragues, Maugerin and Ltvaret to Cay
lus.
Hadn't we better reconcile these gentle
men, instead Of allowing them to kill one
another?" says Riberac to Maugerin.
Sir replies the other, II did not come
here to string beads, but to fight"
"And with whom?" asks Riberac.
with you, to be sure"
Instantly they flew at each other and
ran each othac through. Schomberg fell
dead, while the latter was wounded in the
face Caylus meanwhile had been mortally
wounded, and his opponent had received a
sword-thrust This single encounter ended
therefore, in The immediate death of four
men, while the other two were badly Grip
pied.
Whatever CnaFBe InlgnL pe leVeteQ against
the French duel of those days, 1t could not
be said that tie participants were not in
earnest. In the reign of Henry w. duel.
ing reached Its highest point. 1t has been
estimated that during his reign no fewer
than 1000 mobiles fell victims to the fash.
ion. In Limousin alone, in the space oi
seven months, 120 were killed. The smallest
difference of opinion led to an appeal tc
arms. At no time would the remark oa
Montesquieu be more true, that If three
Frenchmen had been set down in the Lib.
van Desert, two would instantly have
paired off, and the third resolved himself
into a second.

"You must positively not get any lob

The servant took the injunction
deeply into her consciousness. A few

A lot of railroad conductors were
sitting around the stove talking about
their experiences.
About the worst case of passenger
ever came across" said veteran,
"was one I had on train that used
TO run into Indianapolis, long while
ago. I am free to confess, now, that
that train wasn't the fastest train in
the world, though at the time |
thought it was right fair, seeing that
it was the first passenger train I had
had the honor of conducting. On
the occasion I am telling about, a
passenger got on about fifty miles east
of Indianapolis, and after we had jolt
ed along for an hour or more, stopping
every two or three miles, he called me
to him.
"I say, conductor, he said, how
far is it to Indianapolis?'
"'About thirty-five miles, I said.
"'And do you go any faster?
mo, this is scheduled time
"'Well, will you stop and let me
off,
What's that for?' I asked in a
good deal of astonishment.
"'Oh,' said he with lot of conf
dence, TIL get out and walk back the
other way and meet you at the depot
in time to get my baggage"
Somebody laughed.
"You may laugh now," said the
veteran, "but when l thought Of that
fellow sitting there telling me he
would get out and walk back clear
