SAM HOUSTON'S BUSY DAY.
And the Man Who Wanted TO Fight Him
Had to Wait His Turn,

nao TO w ait His Turn.
From the Knoxville Journal
In the days of General Sam Houston
duelling was much more common than
now.
After removing to Texas, General
Houston happened to give offense to a
political opponent who felt his honor
disfigured to such an extent that he
sent challenge to Houston. The bear
er of the challenge was received with
courtly civility. He handed the writ
ten challenge to General Houston, who
read 1t, and taking up his pen wrote
something across the back of the fold
ed paper and placed 1t In a pigeonhole
of his desk. He then went on to enter
tain the bearer of the challenge with
the pleasant conversation for which he
was noted. After time the man be-
gan to grow impatient, and reminding
the general of the challenge, asked him
If he was going to reply.
oh. yes,' said Houston, I'm going
to reply"
"Well, are you going to accept the
challenge of my friend?"
Certainly l will accept it,
"Will you fix the date for tomorrow"
mo, not tomorrow"
Next day."
mo. not the next day either"
well, will you fix a date?"
mo, / am not able now to fix a date
You saw me murder your friends note !;
1t is No. 49, There are forty-eight
other blanked scoundrels ahead of your
friend and l must take them in turn
AS soon as l have killed them off I will
attend to your friend; but he will have
to wait until his turn comes.''
The bearer of the challenge bowed
himself out; but of course his friend 8
turn never came and 1t is not probable
that he was anxious for 1t to come.
