The result of the election did lot
end the trouble by any means, and
the W fam lies have talked very bit
terly about each other. They did not
come actually in contact with each
other. until the day in which the fight
took place, On that day William
Morgan and his three sons started for
tie u,ill. They were fully armed, as
both famille. have been prepared for
trouble.
On the way to the mil they met
James Harrison with his two sons,
Tom and Henry. A few angry words
were exchanged on both sides ard
then firing b-gan.
Al the first fire Of the Harrisons old
maj Morgan fell to the ground dead.
His sons kept up the fight, and a Wig
ocous furiiade was kept up until
nearly all the combatants were dis
abled.
When the battle was finally ended
only u OF each side was uninjured.
In addition to William Morgan, OLD
man Harrison and his son Henry Law
dead on the field OF battle, and two

A Bicycle Umbrella.

Bicycling at midday during dog
days is confessedly warm work,
although many enthusiasts do not
permit even the. intense heat OF
summer to interfere with this
pleasure. In order to make bicycl-
ing more comfortable, an ingenious
inventor has devised an attach
ment for an umbrella or sunshade
to be attached to the wheel. 1t is
so arranged as to be shifted about
in order to interpose between the
suns rays and the rider. OF
course, for scorchers, coasters and
people who must ride fast if they
ride at all, it will have little value;
but to the leisurely rider-the one
who rides purely for amusement,
and takes a moderately slow gait
this little attachment will I'M
doubtedly be found extremely use
full.

How to Eat Bananas.

The banana yields more food to
the acre than any other plant, and
yet it disagrees with no end OF
Northern stomachs. This is be-
cause we eat it the wrong way.
But the wife of a missionary to the
tropics tells the glad tidings from
heather shores of how to eat a
banana. When you have stripped
off the willing rind, just scrape of
the stringy and hairy coat that lies
beneath the rind, and you may eat
your banana without tasting it all
the rest of the day. To eat the
flannel undershirt of the fruit is
like eating the same garment of a
missionary. Any cannibal would
know better. Grit is like swallow
ing woody coat of peach. Boys
and other babarians may have
stomachs which can stand it; but
the gentle pagan of the Indies
knows better than to do this with
his banana.
