In the town OF Griffin, Ca. a sood
looking, well to do bachelor was being
teased by the young ladies of a club for
not being married. He said: III
ry the one of you whom, on a secret vote
you elect to be my Wife, There We're
nine members of the club. Each girl
went into a corner and used great cau- |
ton in preparing her ballot and dis
guised her handwriting. The result of
the vote was that there was nine votes
cast, each girl receiving one. The man
remains a bachelor, the club is broken
up and the girls all mortal enemies,
united in the one determination that
they will not speak to the man again.

Mr.. Drumont of La Llbre Parole is
about to fight a duel for a rather COM
plicated point of honor. His newspaper
last fall offered prizes for essays or the
best way OF discriminating the Jewish
race, and NJ. Lazare was appointed a
member OF the jury to award the prizes,
though his name seems to indicate that
he was a Jew himself. Recently NJ. La
zare declared that he would publish an
article on the methods employed by the
jury in making the awards, but M. Dru-
mont informed him that If he did he
would be challenged. In consequence of
the threat M. Lazare at once sent his
seconds to NJ. Drumont.
