Congressman John Allen of Mississippi
tells the following story: "Down in my
neighborhood once upon time there was
bad feeling between two lawyers, and 1t
was decided that only blood could wipe

The hour was appointed, and the two men
met in secluded spot. One of them was
A great sufferer from St. Vitus' dance;
the other was cool and collected.
''As they faced each other the afflicted
man began to tremble from head to foot,
while his pistol described an arc with va
rying up and down strokes. His opponent
stood firm as rock waiting for the signal
70 fire. Before 1t came, however, he laid
his pistol ON the ground, walked into the
woods and cut a limb off tree with a fork
in the end Of 1t. This he brought back

antagonist. Then, turning to the second,
he said, i must request you to ask your
principal to rest his pistol In that fork.

objection to running the risk of one shot,

An old soldier and army reserve man
sends us the following: shall never forget
the first time that | saw Lord Dufferin. In
1882, when a recruit, was stationed at
Barrackpore One Sunday evening l was
taking walk along the road leading past
the vice regal lodge when ! saw gentle
man, accompanied by two or three ladies
and several gentlemen, coming toward me.
In my ignorance of high life l little thought
that his lordship would venture abroad
without a suitable escort, and as the party
passed me / never came to attention or yet
saluted. What was my establishment when
the leading gentleman raised his hand to
his hat, smiling benignantly all the time,
and passed slowly by.
A sergeant, however, who had spotted
my want of respect or stupdity-term II
what you will-came up with all the pom
posity of drill instructor, and in scathing
tones said: "Why did you not salutef Dc
you know who that Isl" l replied in a
humble way that was not aware, and
that l had been taught not to salute civil
ians What, you young villainl Pretend
that you did not know his lordshipS will
get you pack drill and saluting drill until
further orders"
then became aware of the awful mis-
take had made and passed the night in
an agony of apprehension and dreaming OF
saluting drill and Lord Dufferin alternate

geant did not fulfill his threat, and l was
allowed to go scot free from the terrible
crime of not knowing and saluting the vice

An anxious papa the other evening drew
me aside at dinner and earnestly asked
my advice as to what his son, a sophomore
at college, should order for the coming sea-
son. This important query led me to re-
view my past-how dressed when a youth.
1 was at Elton and naturally wore an Eton
Jacket and tall hat from my earliest years.
l agree with English writer's on dress that
| boy, as soon as he energies from petticoats
| should adopt tall hat. 1t gives him a
sense of dignity, and it teaches him during
these tender years to be courtly in manner
and to be able to salute his acquaintance
with grace which it may take him long
period afterward TO acquire
OF course, in America, this is impossible
A small boy in top hat would be mobbed
This country is still young, and it resents
the introduction even now of foreign fash
ions. Boys here usually wear knicker
bockers until they are 10, unless they
are extraordinary tall for their years
After that age they dress exactly as we do
except that they do not affect the swallow
tail and top hat until their eighteenth
or nineteenth year-VOona

It Is legend in the telegraph Office that
the sender takes a pile of messages, and
sorting out those marked rush." puts
them at the bottom of the pile. There is
also class of communicates that every
newspaper Office knows which marks its
letters rush"
1t will never be known just what these
writers expect. Possibly it is that when
the letter Is received by the postoffice au-
thorities the wheels of Uncle Sans mighty
engine for the distribution Of mail will
stop while the postmaster seizes his hat
and rushes out to deliver the letter per-
sonally.
If anybody sees the postmaster tearing
across town at breakneck speed he may
know that the postmaster is delivering a
rush letter.
Sometimes a man will send letter
marked rush" containing check or a
postal order. Then it goes to the business
Office and is not opened, but sent to the
news editor on the superstition that 1t con-
tains news. The news editor growls at the
chump that sent it and sends it back to the
business Office. And SO letter marked
rush" is usually delayed.

for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.

the office Of the Electric Company and said
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and l
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning

This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.

WEEK OF SELF-DENIAL.

Considerable interest has been aroused among the local Salvationists in reference to the week of self-denial, which beging next Monday and con- tinues for week. This is National observance of the army, and it's diff ferent branches throughout the United States have determined that this shall be memorable one in the effort look ing to the accomplishment of the aim for which it was instituted.
 Special pamphlets and appeals have been widely circulated by the officers and soldiers, and they apparently in tend that the total of this years con- tributions shall far exceed that of last year. The amounts collected in the United States during past self-denial weeks have been continually increas- ing, and these faithful workers in the vineyard are hopeful that this years effort will be the banner one of all.
 It is said that many of the officers and soldiers of the army have deter mined to adopt bread and water diet in order to raise more money and reach the good aimed for by the sol
