WAS NOT A GENTLEMAN.

One cay a stranger came into our
camp and looked around for a while and
finally asked If we had a man of sand
among us. Judge Watkins promptly
answered that we had a man who
wasn't afraid OF anything above or on
or below the earth, and sent a man
down TO the creek after Bill Hopkins.
When Bill came up the stranger looked
him over and queried:
Ar YOU a fighter?"
u ar, mOdestly replied BIZ.
Hey YOU got q record?'
Il hev. I've licked every critter who
has dared stand before me from Grassy
Valley to Ace High
But ar a gentleman as we'll as a
fgh,er?" persisted the stranger.
'Of course 1 arr said Bill, and I'd
like TO see the blamed galOOt who says
/ hain't, But what's that got to do
with it. and wha's all this rot a6out?'
Pm w3ltin' TO come across critter
with sand, replied the stranger, in soft
and oily tones.
You ar wantin' a FUSS?
IT ar. Blu, the fellsr must be gen

ever fights with q lOater."
wall. l don't see why we can't git
together" said Bill, But don't see the
objick exactly
THE obj.ck is to lick you.'
"Oh. she ar! Wen, fix things your
own way, and I'll be on hand!'
After consulting with Judge Watkins
and others, the stranger arranged mat
tiers. He wanted TO fgh Bill rough and
umb,g, and he wanted the two Of them
20 go up on the hin after dark and have
/, cut alone The boys demurred to
this, but BIZ Hopkins said it should be
that way. As ne understood matters,
gentlemen always went off by them
selves &C. settle disputes. If the
stranger was a gentleman, he couldn't
AFFORD to do anything else. He'd lick
him out of his boots in five minutes,
but he'd lick him as one gentleman
should lick another.
Thus il cam about that the pair went
of together up the hill after dark. each
one bowling and scraping and trying TO
Guido the other in genu'iJy. They
We're 10 take position 10 rods apart, and
at a signal from camp were to rush to-

and bring down the mang,ed remains
of the vanquiShed The signal was
given as agreed, but at the end of an
hour no one had hoo-ed. We had just
started 20 go up. when Bill came down
TO us. There We're tears in his eyes, his
back was bumped up, and he dragged
his legs as he walked.

Judg Watkins.

BIRMIyGHAM, Ala, Oct. 25,-M w. Howard,
Populist Congressman from the Seventh Ala
bamn dis trict. who nominated Thorn as L. Watson
for Vice-President at the Populist National Con-
venton and in whose district Watson made
speech in this State last week, said to-day that
in private conversation Mr.. Watson told him
that no matter how much Senators Jones and
Butler enLcavored TO show him that his with
drawal would benefit Bryan. ho would not
withdraw. lic said that lie regarded that the
autonomy Of his party depended upon his con-
tInuunce In the race. and that before he would
come down he would suffer himself 20 be led to
the block and be beheaded.
Howard is u close political friend OF Watson.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dot. 25.-Tom Watson has an
nounced his definite conclusion with regard to
the national campaign, which is that from now
until the day OF the election he will do nothing
whatever. All efforts OF the Popocratic leaders
to induce him to take of his coat for Bryan
and urge tho election of the silver can
didate without any reference to the Vice.
Presidency have failed. He will not withdraw
from the ticket He is nj his home in Thomp-
SON. and he proposes to stay there until the cleo
tion. With regard to withdrawal Of Watson
electors in Georgia he refuses to talk. hut Com
mitteeman Reed. who talks for him. says that
the withdrawal did not, as reported. have the
sanction of Watson and Washburn.
The fusion between the Populst aud Rcpubl
can oand ida ates for Congress In the various dis
trlcts seems TO be rapidly perfecting Itself,
though efforts to get the Populist candidates
out Of the race in tho Fourth aud Second dis
tricts have failed. and in the Fourth district tho
Republican candidate also refuses to como
down. but In the others there will unquestion-
ably be an understanding.
In the Eighth district McGarrity, the Popu-
list, and Rankin. tine Independent, have come
down in the interest of Massey. the Republican
nominee against Judge Ma ddox.
