POTATOES HIS WEAPONS,
How a Humorous Kentucky Domini
Brought the Code Into Ridicule.

How Humorous Kentucky Dominic
Brought the Code Into Ridicule.
One way of combating an evil prac.
tice is to make it ridiculous. 1t was by
this means that deuling was stopped in
a certain district in Kentucky some
forty years ago, says the Lexington
Transcript. At that time a travelling
preacher named Bowman, a strong.
muscular man, was conducting a series
of religious meetings in Kentucky. At
one of them well known desperate
character created a disturbance and,
being publicly rebuked by Bowman.
sent him a 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 Irish potatoes. and
stipulated that his opponent must
stand fifteen PAGES distant and that
only one potato at a time should Be
taken from the measure.
The desperate was furious, but Bow
man insisted upon his rights as The
challenged party and threatened to de-
nOunce the fellow as a coward If he
made further objections. Seeing no
way out of the scrape, the desperate
at last consented.
The contest took place on the out
skirts of the town, and almost every.
body in ire place turned out see the
fun. The seconds arranged the two
men in position. by the side of each
being half-bushel measure filed with
potatoes.
Bowman threw the first one. II
struck his opponent in a central SPOT
and fell in pieces. A shout of delight
went up from the crowd. which fur
ried the desperate and his potato flew
wide Of the mark. Bowman watched
his chance, and every time his oppon-
ent stopped for pOtatoe another one
hit him in the side, leaving a wet Dot
on his clothes and then scattering OF
all Sides The fellow was hit in this
way five times; the sixth potato struck
him in the short ribs and he lay on
the grass doubled up with pain and
TOaning, Enough"
The byStanders went wild with de.
light, but Mr.. Bowman looked very
sober. The desperate was taken home
and put to bed, and there he STAYED
for more than a week. And when
he appeared again he was greeted with
so many jokes that life was almost a
burden TO him. That was the end OF
dueling in that region.

written on it.

CHAPTER IN.
QUESTIONING.

1t was a week before l saw her
again. Her heart had been stilled, and
she was able to sleep again.
But seven nights after, she did come.
1 waited her awaking, possessed with
one painful! thought. which longed
to impart to her. She awOke with a
smile, covered her face with her
hands for a moment, but only for a
moment. and then sat up l stood be-
fore her, and the first words l spoke
were:
LADY Alice, ought | not to COZ
"NO," she replied at once. 81 can
claim some compensation from them
for the wrong they have been doing
me. Do you know in what relation |
stand to Lord and Lady Hilton? They
are but my StepmOther and her hus-
band"
II know that"
"Well, have a fortune of my own.
about which l never thought or cared
-till-till--w thin the last few weeks.
Lord Hilton is my guardian. Wheth-
er they made me the stupid creature
was, l do not know; but l believe
they have represented me as far worse
than Twas, to keep people from max
ing my acquaintance. They prevented
my going on with my lessons because
they saw was getting to understand
things, and grow like other people; and
that would not suit their purposes. It
would be false delicacy in you to
leave me to them, when you can make
up to me for their injustice. Their be-
havior to me takes away any right
they had over me, and frees you from
obligation, because | am yours. am |
not?"
Once more she covered her face with
her hands. l could answer only by
withdrawing one of them, which was
now emboldened to keep in my own.
l was very willingly persuaded to
what was so much my own desire. But
whether the reasoning was quite lust
or not, l am not yet sure. Perhaps it
might be so for her, and yet not for
me. l do not know; l am a poor casu-
list.
She resumed laying her hand on
mine.
ut would be to tell the soul which
you have called forth, to go back into
its dark moaning cavern, and never
come out to the light of day"
A long pause enSued.

The Logic of Strikes.

It is a self evident proposition, says
the Indianapolis Record, that strikes
must come to nsught as long as two
men are ready to janp into a strikers
place before it gets cold. 1t is q 1estion-
able il strikes are tho best means to safe
guard the rights OF labor. But if they
are, laboring men must stand together,
and whom strike is on, all must keep
hands off. But can this BE- done? If it
ever is, it will be the result OF education.
The idea must be inculcated into the
minds Of the people. Taking strikers
place must be made odious in public
sentiment. But it will require q long
training before so many men are brought
to act together in common cause. Yet
unless this done labor must look for
something else besides strikes for q rem
edy.
Laboring men are in the condition Of
the Indians. Had the Indians remained
united, and not played into the hands Of
the whites they would have Jared much
better. The whites played Indian
against Indian, just as employers are
playing one laboring man against an
other.
